Looking for some cross body bags that will get you in the holiday spirit? How about some shine and shimmer with metal mesh purses from Whiting & Davis? Known for their metal mesh bags, Whiting & Davis bags range from vintage to contemporary and are popular among celebrities and other personalities. Here are 4 cross body bags from the stylish brand. Let these glittering purses usher in the fun and holiday cheer!

Chain Mesh Pouch, $98

Casual fab rules this metal mesh pouch, featuring a glittering facade with a drawstring closure. The strap, which can be worn doubled or long, lends it to be used as shoulder or cross body bag. We like the gold best but it also comes in red, black and pewter.

Basic Chain Mesh Bag, $128

Bold, striking and light, this basic chain mesh bag features a front flat and chain mesh fringes. It features a gunmetal detachable strap that matches any of the colors you can buy this in: magenta, pewter and black.

The Edge Chain Mesh Bag, $130

Mini madness! This two tone mini cross body bag comes in two basic chic colors: gunmetal and pearl. It has a zip main closure and its convertible snake-chain strap can be worn long or doubled.

Metal Mesh Cross Body Bag, $108

I would like to own all the colors of this simple mesh cross body bag. Its black, midnight, gold and silver variations are all fantastic! It’s also practical, with features such as a detachable chain strap, and patch and zip pockets in its lined interior.

Digging the Donna

Saturday, October 15, 2011

No, we’re not talking about a singer, actress, or model. We’re not talking about an icon either, or a female role model, for that matter. But of course, the Donna is female, and a hippie, cool, bohemian one at that. Let’s apply the concept of personification to it and say that if the Donna had a soul, it would have an old soul.

As you’ve probably already guessed, the Donna is a bag. It’s a leather cross-body/shoulder bag available at Singer22, with a chunky chain strap. The Donna is from Cut n’ Paste and comes in two colors, vintage tan and black.

It’s the vintage tan version we prefer:

Here it is on an actual person:

And here is the Donna in black:

Cut n’ Paste Donna Bag in Black, $188.00

If you’re thinking of getting the Donna, whether you prefer it in vintage tan or in black, you may want to check out the Koolaburra Veleta. The Koolaburra Veleta is a fringed, suede ankle boot that also comes in two colors, black and chestnut, with the latter looking very similar in shade to vintage tan.
