Comment by: bluenude3 @ 04/29/2009, 01:55:37 PM | My favorite would have to be the Isabella Fiore “Chain Attraction” Desta Satchel Handbag. It’s basically a go-anywhere bag - appropriate for work, shopping, even a night out! And since I’ll be running around a ton this summer with two fashion internships, it would be perfect. Also, it’s purple, which is one of my fav colors of the moment!

Comment by: faith24 @ 04/29/2009, 03:00:32 PM | I've been lusting after the Louis Vuitton Monogram Satin Aumoniere Evening Handbag on the since 2006 (...when I was 16 and planning prom.. really). If I had this bag, I would dress like a princess everywhere.
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Monogram-Satin-Aumoniere-Evening-Handbag/7715/1/991344
and choice #2, more versatile, I think, is the Cynthia Rowley 'Lena' Handbag
in which I would stow my iphone & id card, and wear with ripped jeans, flowing skirts, minidresses, and everything else in my closet. This bag completely works with almost every item I own. I already have 1 Cynthia Rowley bag, but it's much larger & very hard to use in the everyday (like a black hole for small lipglosses, my car keys, etc).

Comment by: ange @ 04/29/2009, 03:32:53 PM.jpg) | The first on my list would definitely be a Balenciaga, since I LOVE them but I can't afford them! My fave on Avelle is the Balenciaga Giant Brief Tote.
That is followed by:
- Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo, in Tangerine or Peacock (great summer colors!)
- Louis Vuitton XLarge Denim Hobo
- Prada Cervo Lux Tote
I love slouchy bags, can you tell? ;-)

Comment by: sunchicka @ 04/29/2009, 11:23:43 PM | Julianne by Marc Jacobs (quilted shoulder)
I would use this bag to steal soft dinner rolls from family restaurants. It’s the perfect size for crime – not too big to be conspicuous, big enough to fit the buttery rounds of goodness.

Comment by: bhjustice @ 04/30/2009, 10:13:48 PM | the Perlina 'Handles with Flair' Hobo Handbag is a bag I would love! It is so classic!! :)
|
Comment by: joelbow @ 04/30/2009, 10:54:39 PM.jpg) | If I were to pick from the array of fabulous bags above, my favorite would be the Louis Vuitton bag. The edgy take on a classic bag is just wild enough to take an outfit from boring to brilliant in one swoop. It is the perfect size for carrying essentials but will not impede posture due to the weight of the bag.
After a thorough survey of the entire Avelle site, I've decided that one of my favorite pieces is the Hermes Vintage Crocodile Birkin Handbag. I'm a sucker for classics and this bag, like the Louis Vuitton has added flare to the great original.

Comment by: donnak4 @ 05/12/2009, 07:57:47 AM.jpg) | One of my favorite handbag designers Tory Burch and I am so in love with Avelle's TORY BURCH 'Matthias' Satchel Handbag. Every time I see it I want it more and than. I love that it is off the wall chic and stylish, love the color combinations, and it is so versatile in what you can wear it with. It is timeless and classic in styling and will truly transcend time and seasons brilliantly! I also love, love the Tory Burch 'Amanda' Satchel Handbag, and to me it's the perfect ultimate spring and summer bag! The GUCCI 'Babouska' Large Shoulder Handbag is also one of my picks, I think this bag is exquisite, and will transform even the most ordinary of outfits into an extraordinary one. It is spectacular! Thanks for letting me share some of my favorites from Avelle!
