Oversized clutches are the trend but as far as this particular one goes, don't care for it at all...

Bag Chic!!

Spotted Nandita Mahtani at the unveiling of Lakme Fashion Week's designers and sponsors. And while she was as usual impeccably turned out, it was hard not to notice the Bottega Veneta Cabat that she was carrying that almost made us skip a beat!

Its no secret we love the Birkin but a close second is Bottega Veneta for its sophisticated, understated, timeless appeal, and it always surprises me when I see people carry the over-logo'fied junk out there over the more understated yet way more chic choices. Both Payal and I own Bottegas (not the Cabat though, but it sure is on our wish list!) and don't think we ever, ever get tired of them!

Bloom'ing Love

If you thought that influences of the 'garden-variety' were limited to the clothes in the Spring 2008 collections, you are wrong! The inevitable happened and the influence tipped over onto accessories as well.

Thankfully, not much of that happened because no matter what they say, I just don't think lugging around a floral bag that costs $$$$ is fashionable! But some of these shoes were cute (ooh, Blahnik!!)...as were some of the pieces of jewellery that I saw, again, emphasis on 'some'!!

Leiber: Luxury Number One!

Leiber has just been named the most prestigious handbag brand in the 2007 Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) survey. Hermès and Prada came in second and third places, respectively. The fact that Prada edged out Bottega Veneta and Chanel surprises me a bit, especially considering the fact that it was Bottega Veneta that was named the most prestigious handbag brand in the 2006 Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) survey, just last year!

Bottega: Way To Clutch It

There is a reason why Bottega Veneta is a must have for every A-lister and bonafide fashionista, it is timeless, classic, sophisticated, made with impeccable style, and immeasurable quality! No one can do inter-woven leather better than them! It is discreet and the lack of logos and branding only seal the deal. Its quality, finish and design are enough to set it in a whole different league!

While pricey, if you can afford it, its a great piece to own! Start with a basic black, like the one below, its timelessness will assure its longevity!

Book Launch Launches Bag'mania..

.. for us anyway!

The book launch in question was the photo-essay book about Sunil and Nargis Dutt written by their daughters Priya and Namrata. As usual, not only were the who's who of Mumbai present but also making an appearance were their bags!

We (Well Heeled and I) couldn't stop "oooh-ing" the uber-expensive Bottega Veneta Lizard clutch carried by Gauri Khan. (Life is really good when you are SRK's wife!)

We also caught Simi Garewal carrying her favorite, the LV Suhali L'Aimable shoulder bag.
