Nicole Richie Archives

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.

Nicole Richie: The Bohemian Chic Slings It On

More than just being Paris’ BFF, Nicole Richie has definitely made her own name in fashion. At certain times, Nicole wears the rocker style although she always manages to keep her hair neatly held up with a pony tail. At most; however, Lionel Richie’s princess wants to to keep it bohemian. She slips on long, empress cut dresses with fascinator headbands and flats. It is during this fashion mood that Nicole proves her mad love for carefree cross body bags. Whether she’s with Harlow or taking her sweet time on her own, she manages to keep herself “the stunner” – thanks to her equally chic sling bags.
