At first I thought Miley Cyrus carrying a Simone Camille bag was a one time thing because you know, Simone Harouche, the creator of the Simone Camille handbag line, is her stylist and all.

But then, Nicole Richie was spotted with a NEW Simone Camille bag (she’s been sporting Simone Camille bags for a while now apparently and actually was Simone Harouche’s inspiration for turning her hobby into a business):

And then Julia Roberts was seen with her own Simone Camille bag too:

With a reigning teen queen, an influential style icon and a heavyweight A-list celebrity sporting Simone Camille bags, you just know that these patchwork, pompom-ed, mirrored, hodgepodge of different fabrics bags will EXPLODE onto the fashion scene.

Simone Camille bags are (finally) available at Net-A-Porter.com but as for the cost? A whopping $1,860.00 a piece.

The Simone Camille website says that the bags are created from Simone Harouche’s own personal collection of special fabrics – ranging from “19th century dowry textiles” to “1970s Thea Porter kaftans” – but is that really enough to justify the nearly 2,000-dollar price tag?

Not when these bags are in existence whose styles have been crafted, handmade and sold in India for centuries:

These are just a selection of bags from India and here are more from Overstock.com. I guess you can call these the “budget finds” of the Simone Camille bags, but for me, they look more like the bags that Simone Harouche slapped her label on and is now trying to sell for more than 50 times the price.

Looks like this week is a Miley Cyrus week for Crossbodypurses. And it’s all about her love of pom pom bags too.

Just a few days ago, we featured Miley and her Balenciaga Giant Pom Pom Bag (click here to read article).

Today is all about her Simone Camille Tier 1 Carryall Tote.

She was spotted sporting this very colorful and very eclectic looking piece  last March 22,  and it has been much talked about since.

In case you haven’t noticed, the Simone Camille Tier 1 Carryall also features fluffy pom pom balls all around the bag apart from the rich embroidery, colorful fabric, mirror and stone embellishments, and metal disc decorations. It is quite a busy and bright piece and definitely not for the faint hearted.

However, for some reason, it looks good on Miley and I think I know why. First of all, she has the personality for it. Secondly, she matched the bag with a colorless outfit (black and neutral) – definitely the ONLY appropriate way to wear this flashy and ornate looking arm candy.

Actually it is no surprise that Miley loves this bag. Simone Harouche, the creator of the Simone Camille line, is Miley’s stylist, so it is just natural for her to wear one of her stylist’s rare creations.

In fact, I have a strong suspicion that the Tier 1 Carryall on Miley was especially made for her because I could not find the exact same color in the designer’s website  (made to order bags is a special service also offered by the Simone Camille line).

If you have eccentric taste and you are digging the Simone Camille Tier 1 Carryall, you may purchase it from the Simone Camille website for US$1,860 (visit www.simonecamille.com).

But if you don’t have bag full of cash to spend for this elaborately decorated piece, you can opt for any of the following colorful crossbody purses instead:

Fossil Capri Crossbody, US$78

Carlos Falchi Handbags Small Microfiber Grafitti Satchel, US$314

JADETribe Safi Bag, on sale for US$215 at Shopbop.com

It’s another Miley post! This time, the bag of hers we’re featuring is less controversial than the Armani Chevron Print Tote she used in the Paris kissing shots and less um, ugly than that furry messenger bag she carried around at the start of the year.

The cross body bag in focus now is the gorgeous Balenciaga Giant Pompon bag, which Miley has in very heavy rotation. Check out some shots of Miley with her beloved Balenciaga:

The latest spot of Miley Cyrus with her Balenciaga is the last picture, taken just last March 29 when she went out on a double date with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and some friends. Although I don’t always approve of Miley’s fashion choices, I’m with Miley on this one – I wholeheartedly agree that a bag that pretty (and that expensive – it’s $1,795!) deserves to be taken out as much as possible.

If you buy thousand-dollar bags like they were candy, then I’m envious and you can go right ahead and purchase the Balenciaga Giant Pompon bag at the Balenciaga website (just click on the link). If you’re like me and would rather splurge on the candy, then don’t worry because there are cheaper versions – always.

Here are 3 cross body bucket bags that are similar to Miley’s, all from The Sak:
