Who knew Kate Moss was aligned with the armed forces? Well, actually, Moss herself is a fashion force, armed with Longchamp's fall must-have bag. (The men in uniform are just props!)

Top designers keep joining forces with Target for exclusive lines, and we keep swooning (and shopping), so the recipe for success is clearly working.

The latest collaboration? Carlos Falchi, master leathersmith and purveyor of classic, yet modern handbags and accessories. He is following in the fashionable footsteps of past handbag designers for Target including Gryson, Anya Hindmarch, Devi Kroell and Botkier.

The collection, eighth in a series of limited-time-only accessories designer collaborations for the retail giant, will be available at most Target stores and Target.com from November 1 to December 27. (But you know the deal, these designer items fly off the shelves.)

Elliott Lucca Thinks You're a Winner

Filed under: Contests & Giveaways

Talk about spring cleaning! Photo courtesy of elliottlucca.com

Well, you could be a winner ... Hot handbag company Elliott Lucca is holding a giveaway (be still, our beating heart!). The prize: An Elliott Lucca "Zafra" Hobo (we love the woven sides!) and five-day Blueprint Cleanse for you and a friend!

Let's be honest, cleanses are the trend du jour, but you have to choose wisely. Blueprint is extremely popular among celebrities and editors alike. It's a nutritional juice option and even includes a sweet dessert drink. Plus, like going to the gym, it's much easier to do when you have a friend to commiserate do it with. Especially if you and that friend are toting around brand new bags.

Entering is easy -- just head over to Elliott Lucca, fill in a few fields, and you've got a chance to win. You have until June 28 to enter. Of course, while you're there, you could probably do a little shopping. You know, to stimulate the economy and all.

Victoria Beckham - Birkin Bag Lady

Filed under: Handbags

Victoria Beckham doesn't exactly shy away from excess. The former Spice Girl didn't earn the nickname "Posh" for nothing! It took serious dedication to shopping for couture clothes, shoes and, most importantly, bags. Hermès Birkin bags, to be exact.

The Big Money reports that Posh owns around 100 of the exclusive and pricey purses, a collection worth possibly $2 million. Bag prices range from approximately $6,000 to over $100,000, depending on the materials used. Exotic animal skins, like saltwater crocodile, up the price significantly, as do embellishments on the hardware (a crocodile Birkin with roughly 10 carats of diamonds sold at auction for $120,000).

Victoria Beckhams Birkin Bags

    Victoria Beckham shops with her son and, of course, a gorgeous blue Birkin, large enough to hold plenty of toys and snacks. Hey, if she's going to drop that kind of cash on a handbag, it should at least be useful, right?

    Victoria Beckham arrives at Heathrow Airport wearing a polka dot Mac coat and basic black bag. You know, if an Hermes handbag can be considered basic.

    England football players' wives and girlfriends depart to Cologne for England's match against Sweden on June 20, 2006. Is she wearing shorts? A skirt? Who cares? She's got it covered with her fabulous bag.

    Victoria Beckham and youngest son Cruz leave their hotel in Paris. Posh's chic, layered look should fit right in with the city's style.

    Victoria Beckham at the Farmer's Market on June 15, 2008. Because, you know, who doesn't take a ridiculously pricey designer bag to buy fresh cut flowers and veggies?

    Victoria Beckham arrives to Heathrow airport dressed to impress. As always.

    Victoria Beckham shops at Fred Segal in Santa Monice and then heads to the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, where she meets Katie Holmes and daughter Suri for dinner at the Bungalow. Just another day in the life of Posh, and, of course, another Birkin.

    Victoria Beckham uses her bag to brighten up an otherwise neutral ensemble at the airport.

    Bauer-Griffin

    Victoria Beckham, rocking a black tipped french manicure, arrives at Los Angeles International Airport to fly back to England with Melanie Brown (Mel B) to work on a new Spice Girls single and a television commercial. No surprise here -- the bag is a perfect match for the dress, but we can probably guess which cost more.

    Bauer-Griffin

    Posh sports a bright, 1960's-style dress while toting a hot pink ostrich Hermes Birkin purse. Victoria is trailed by several assistants who carry her luggage, block photographers, and escort her through security. Ever wonder what Mrs. Beckham carries in that expensive luggage of hers? Now we know: More expensive handbags.

    Bauer-Griffin



Okay, even if there wasn't a two-year waiting list to get a Birkin, most of us can't afford the price tag. And it's not like the value goes down over time (it's called an investment piece for a reason, people). However, we can dream, and we can gawk. And so can you -- check out the gallery of Posh and her many, many Birkins above!
