This Sonia Rykiel Ostrich feather handbag is pretty wild. I like it, but I wouldn't buy it. Can you imagine how it would look if it got wet? Yuck. I'm sure it's very soft, and it would make for an interesting conversation, but it would be too high maintenance for me. It's suede covered in ostrich feathers on a nickel frame bag. It will be available Spring 2009.

I like the rocker -chic vibe that this Sonia Rykiel Dita purse is giving. This is definitely not an every day bag, actually it's probably better for evening. (Especially for those of us who need something bigger than a clutch.) And this handbag wouldn't work with every outfit, but when and where it would work, it would be fabulous. I love the bright multi-colored crystals, and for once the overly studded look works. The black calfskin suede studded multi-colored crystal embroidered shoulder bag is accented with chain-detail handles. If you need a little more room, the bag has snap closures at the sides which widen the bag while a magnetic top fastening keeps everything where it belongs - in the bag. Now, to get this rocker-chick look there is a bit of a drawback… the price. I guess it is no surprise that a handbag adorned with crystals will come at a hefty price; buy through Net a porter, $3,915
