Handbags are more than simply a container to hold your odds and ends while you’re on the move – they are the epitome of style; they make a fashion statement that says a lot about your taste. In my opinion, no one understands that function of handbags better than Roberto Cavalli, who has come through again with this beautiful dome satchel. It’s not just that the “Soul” bag has an elegant shape and design, picked out in metal studs; it’s not that it has double handles connected by silver-toned rings. These are just details. The real power of the bag lies in its full-on view – all of the details work together to create an amazing piece, and this is rare in handbags with two or three different design details. My favorite part of this bag is its plisse-effect leather, which ribs along the sides of the bag to create a style that’s not only elegant, but also interesting.
With its zip top closure and deer leather exterior, this bag is already luxurious. A girl with style would pair this bag with a sexy skirt and top or a business-casual outfit. It’s going to look great with whatever you wear it with. When I see this bag, I imagine fancy restaurants and luxurious spas. The purse is made for the high life. The “Soul” bag can be found at Nordstrom.com for $2315.00. It’s only available for pre-order right now.

Although not as nice as the “Soul” bag, the Michael Kors Saratoga large satchel is still almost as luxurious. It’s made of rich black leather with silver-toned hardware. It’s got double-handled straps and a top zip closure. What I really like about this bag are its beautiful dimensions – it’s got a six-inch depth, which allows you to store whatever you want, including room for a bottle of water. A good-sized bag is important for the amount of things a girl needs these days! You can find the Saratoga for $351.91 at Zappos.com.

The Hype St. Moritz Tote has a beautifully soft leather exterior which is ruched and detailed with topstitching, buckled straps, and silver-toned hardware. The bag has reinforced straps and a five-inch depth. The lining is floral print and the bag has a wonderfully vintage look. You can find it at Endless.com for $250.00. The bag comes in three different colors besides black. They include red, blue and brown.

hello
I have a B.Cavalli soul bag which I love. Unfortunately the lining has become torn and I am looking to find someone who could repair or replace it. would you be able to assist? Many thanks
Hi Michelle! You have a few options for handbag repair. The first thing you can do is call the store where you purchased the bag and ask if they offer any repair services. Many designer handbag companies, like Coach, offer repair services for their bags, but as far as I know Roberto Cavalli does not do this. If you don’t live in a city that has a Roberto Cavalli store, call the store, and they should be able to tell you where to take the bag. If your city doesn’t have a store, your other option to contact a local luggage retailer and ask if they can repair your handbag. You might also try a Google search for handbag repair. You may find something near where you live. Good luck!
To Whom it may concern:
I purchased a Anuschka bag (Style Flap Bag Ebony ) and the ring that holds the strap is missing a bronze screw and I need a screw to replace the one that fell out. I purchased the purse in the summer and just began using it for the fall and noticed the screw is missing on the ring 0. Can you please tell me how I can get this part?
Thank you.

Sorry Alice, I don’t know what to tell you besides call the store where you bought it, or contact the manufacturer. Or maybe Google “anuschka handbag repair” or just “handbag repair” and see what comes up. Good luck!
