Baguettes

In the 1500s, women began carrying bags of sachet. But pockets worn beneath the skirt remained more popular than purses until dresses began to hug the body in the late 18th century. During the Victorian period, a wide variety of purse styles came into vogue and the term “handbag” was coined in the early 1900s.

From the 1930s to the 1960s, clutches were a favorite. Practical shoulder bags were introduced during World War II. Today hobos, totes and slings compete with classic leather handbags, mini briefcases and backpack bags.

The Leather Linking Strap Flap Hobo (say that ten times fast) by Dautore is a good example of how pastels can work any time of the year — fall included! It’s a pretty pale pink called ‘Venus’ and although it’s fairly understated as a whole the most eye-catching feature is the intricately linked leather strap that looks both solid and dainty at the same time (is that even possible? I say it is). Other than that it has some lovely loose ruching around the flap-over front with magnetic closure and what I think is a very artsy logo-print lining. $580Related Story

I may have an obsession with hobo handbags but their versatility is undeniable and their color and style options are endless. Take for instance Cole Haan’s Prudence Leather Hobo, aptly labeled to reflect a traditionally feminine name that emphasizes grace, beauty, and propriety. This handbag brings together a timeless woven design in either chestnut (pictured above) or zinfandel hued pebble grain leather. Add a signature logo tag, tassel zipper pull, and function-based interior pockets and you have one fabulous bag on your arm for $428.

Fendi Peek-A-Boo Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) — Sep 6th 2009 at 5:02PM

One of the most distinctive trends this fall season is the bag-within-a-bag look. Several designers have created looks that look like a big bag swallowed a smaller one. One of Fendi’s key styles this season is the peek-a-boo which comes in a variety of different materials and colors. This one is rendered in relaxed dark brown suede with a more rigid interior of red calf leather giving the appearance of being both dressed up and dressed down at the same time It measures 15 4/5″H x 11 4/5″W x 5 9/10″D and sells for $2,420.

A decidedly autumnal palette meets a wise character in Kate Spade’s Sherwood Owl Handbag. A mixture of patent leather and suede, this unique bag is both fun and smart bringing the owl to life with bright eyes and two little feet poking out beneath the lower edge. The interior is fully lined with silk and features both a zippered and open pockets to keep your things organized. The three-inch drop double handles complete the design. I love the texture and comfortable beauty encompassed by the layers of material and the price isn’t half bad either — $425! (14″ x 14″ x 5″)Related Story

I love the color on this Woodstock Hobo by Be & D more than I’ve loved a handbag color in a long time — it’s so soothing! And it has an interesting ‘cozy but chilled’ vibe going on. Not crazy about the stiff-looking handle but I can see how it works with the overall shape and style of the bag. It’s simple textured leather with a large exterior fold-over flap pocket, pretty silver studs on a decorative leather strap, and a beige suede lining. Magnetic snap closure, interior pockets x 3, $995.Related Story

Uber-feminine and dripping with romance, the Buisson Rose Tote from Valentino would be a dead ringer for Valentine’s Day but since it is available now I’m picturing it on the arm of a well-to-do heiress at a prestigious horse race. Composed of red satin rosettes with burgundy centers and crystal studded petals, this floral interpretation is complete with matching tonal patent leather top handles, silvertone hardware, red satin lining and protective feet. If your horse is the winner at the race you could both be sporting a carpet of red roses — I wonder if Valentino makes a matching hat? (14″ x 16″ x 5″ for $3,995)Related Story

The Salvatore Ferragamo Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag is a chic and fresh new offering from one of our old standbys.

Just look at the strap: leather, chain, a buckle and a tie keep the bag interesting, but the different elements are graceful and pretty together — that’s quite a feat! Not only that, but it’s adjustable, so it’s even functional in all its eclectic glory.

The bag pictured here is metallic silver with brass-toned nickel hardware, and it also comes in black and shell. We love the way the Italian leather is clamped into this rich, grabbable texture on the retro front flap.

The Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,490.00.

You have to love a handbag that doesn’t make you choose between python and croc. Nancy Gonzalez has created the Python & Croc Pleated Clutch featuring a natural pleated python body accented with a luscious brown cutout of Caiman fuscus crocodile which acts as an overlay along the flap. Inside your necessities will be kept safe and scuff-free with a suede lining. Gorgeous neutral tones make this clutch an easy accessory for any occasion and an all-seasons favorite. Available at Neiman Marcus for $2,500. (11 1/2″ H x 16 1/2″ W)Related Story

This is one of those bags that I both love and hate at the same time. I love that it’s so slouchy and distressed, and I love the uniqueness of the knots in the design, but I hate that it looks like it was slopped together in some kind of emergency or something. It’s the Zuma Satchel by Michael Kors, shown here in gunmetal, and there isn’t much else to say about this one other than it has silvertone hardware, a double-zip top, and a hanging logo tag (which makes it look a little like luggage I think). $995Related Story

I love a good hobo — handbag that is. They fit perfectly beneath your arm, hold enough essentials while still reserving room for the unexpected purchase, and comfortably sit on your shoulder without becoming a nuisance in daily life. Badgley Mischka’s new Carina Leather Hobo, part of their platinum label, is available in Hunter — a softened, dark green that speaks of cooler temperatures without insisting on a holiday-only occasion. Complete with a flat leather bow on the handle, gold-tone accents, zipper closure and three interior pockets, this useful bag looks easy to wear and enjoy for only $298.

Angel Jackson has done it again. This sister-run design house we recently interviewed (Angel Jackson – Coming to America At Last!) has designed the gorgeous satchel above exclusively for Selfridges.

The British Union Jack never seems to go out of style, and this one is seriously disco-fied — just look at those sequins, the studs, the goldtone hardware! The lining of this 19cm by 24cm satchel is leather, and better still? It’s super-exclusive. Only 50 of this Angel Jackson masterpiece have been made, and it can be purchased only from Selfridges for approximately $418.00.

Don’t feel like paying international shipping rates? The plain snakeskin version of the jack satchel will be in Intermix stores stateside. (Almost as cool.)

Many animal furs or skins have been used to create unique handbags in the past but I think this one is a first for me! Fendi’s Skunk Fur Peekaboo Roll Bag features fine leather and soft skunk fur with an adjustable crossbody strap for $1,970 available for pre-order currently on Saks.com. Although the bag is made in Italy the skunk fur originates in Canada. I’m just curious but is there really a market for skunk furs?? Are they raised for this purpose or is it just a way to recycle roadkill? Although I love the neutral tones of the handbag and the significant stripe created by the skunk fur I’m just not into the idea of stinky creatures as an accessory.

Everybody loves a good hobo bag, and this one by Michael Kors is no exception. Not sure why it’s called “Skorpios” (I’m sure I’m missing something obvious so if you have an idea feel free to let me know in the comments) but it’s an attractively simple bag, featuring a large ring that flops over the framed top on a braided leather strap and a matching single braided leather handle attached with smaller gold rings. $995

I’m thinking maybe the way the ring hangs over to the front of the bag is reminiscent of a scorpion’s tail???Related Story

China Mobile prepares for domestic listing

September 12th, 2009

China Mobile, the world’s biggest telecom company by market value, has started work on listing its shares on the domestic market, the Shanghai Securities News reported Saturday.

Chairman and CEO Wang Jianzhou said Friday on the sidelines of the 2009 Summer Davos in China’s northeastern Dalian city that the company had launched work for Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Chinese mainland.

Wang said the company has been trying for domestic listing for years and he hoped this would come to fruition as sooner as possible.

Stocks of China Mobile, one of the most profitable companies in China, are currently traded in Hong Kong. Its market value has exceeded 346 billion U.S. dollars, the newspaper said.

But as 99 percent of its customers are on the Chinese mainland, the company is increasing efforts to offer its shares to investors at home.

Wang also said Friday the company would invest 6 billion yuan (about 879 U.S. dollars) to subsidize its third-generation (3G) communications operations this year.

Barefoot and helmeted, the frightened survivors of deadly Typhoon Morakot dangled high over jagged rocks and a raging river as soldiers hauled them to safety one by one along a 100-foot-long cable.

On the far side, a few dozen waited near a hand-painted sign on the craggy foundation of a destroyed bridge: “32 people died here SOS.”

The perilous rescue was part of a massive military effort to save hundreds of stranded villagers after the worst flooding to hit Taiwan in 50 years. Some 15,000 villagers have been rescued since the typhoon struck five days ago; hundreds more are feared missing or dead.

Scores of villages in the rural south of Taiwan were devastated by the typhoon. One of the worst affected is Shiao Lin, where authorities estimated 400 people died in a catastrophic mudslide spawned by days of torrential rain.

As criticism mounted Thursday over Taiwan’s response to the disaster, the government dispatched another 4,000 troops to work with the 14,000 already deployed. Many of them are working in Kaohsiung County, a mountainous farming region in southern Taiwan.

The rugged terrain and widespread devastation played havoc with rescue efforts following the storm, which dumped 80 inches (2 meters) of rain on the island over the weekend.

Soldiers in fatigues and heavy gloves resorted to using a makeshift zipline to haul survivors from the village of Sinkai over the Ba Si Lan River where the bridge was wiped out. For hours they labored, rescuing everyone from a young boy in shorts to an elderly woman who brought along a couple of shopping bags worth of belongings.

Unbuckled from their harnesses, villagers looked dazed and frightened as they recalled the harrowing night of Aug. 8.

“It rained for days,” said Li Wen-chuan, a grizzled-looking man of 68 with sparse salt-and-pepper hair, teeth stained red by years of betel nut chewing. “But the flood came so suddenly and with a tremendous roar. It destroyed everything in the village.”

“This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me,” he said, adding that many of the 32 who died in village were friends and family. “My life will never be the same.”

Pan Yi-chang, a 32-year-old mother of two, said that when the rains spawned by Morakot began to fall, she had no inkling that this typhoon would be any different from others.

The ravaged villages — most of them scattered in neighboring townships in northern Kaohsiung County — are typically located next to mountains, and they usually have to brace for mudslides during Taiwan’s annual typhoon season during June to September.

But this time was different, residents said.

“Everything happened so fast. Flooding just destroyed everything,” said Pan, adding that she was lucky because all of her family survived — her husband, her two children and her mother and father.

As she spoke, Pan gazed longingly across the river toward the only home she has ever known, a close-knit community of 1,000 whose economy is based on growing mangos and guavas.

In the background, a heavy mist enveloped the summit of a nearby mountain and torrents of water cascaded down its dark green facades.

Taiwan’s official death toll from the storm now stands at 116, with another 59 listed as missing. That does not include the toll in Shiao Lin and other remote communities. Taiwan’s Disaster Relief Center estimated Friday that as many as 400 people were buried at Shiao Lin.

Many of those rescued say they can never return to their villages because there is nothing left to return to.

Li, the grizzled veteran of Sinkai, is not one of them.

“I am going back,” he said. “Sinkai is where my roots are. I have no other place to go.”

Many complained that the government was too slow to mobilize the rescue and cleanup effort, saying more victims could have been saved if they had moved sooner and faster.

“Why does the government say only useless things?” a woman eager to learn the fate of relatives trapped in Kaochung village in the south asked. With tears filling her eyes, she told TV reporters: “I’ve been waiting for several days, yet there has not been anyone going to rescue my family.”

In a short interview with CNN, President Ma Ying-jeou blamed the severe damage brought by the flooding on villagers’ inability to get out of their communities before the storm.

Authorities in Kaohsiung County did ask inhabitants from the villages most severely battered by Morakot to leave before the storm, but they did not try to forcibly remove the residents, and some villagers decided against leaving.

“They were not fully prepared. If they were, they should have been evacuated much earlier,” Ma said. “They didn’t realize how serious the disaster was.”

Ma did not comment on whether the government was doing enough to help with the evacuation.

Troops were working Thursday to restore severed roads, rehabilitate ravaged neighborhood and ferry typhoon victims to safety in dozens of helicopter missions.

So far some 15,400 villagers have been rescued — including 2,200 on Thursday, the island’s disaster relief center said.

Another 1,900 villagers were staying either in open fields or on higher ground and waiting to be taken to shelters, it said. Several hundred more — no one is sure how many — remain unaccounted for and are feared lost in the mudslides.

The week in the public sector: The NUT; Bogus students; Sir Alan Steer

April 16th, 2009

Bouncers are being employed by schools to hand out work and watch pupils while teachers are away, delegates at the National Union of Teachers (NUT) conference were told. Schools are advertising for “cover supervisors” with military or police experience but no teacher training, paid half the salary of supply teachers. A drop of blood or a speck of tissue could soon be all that is needed to diagnose cancers and assess their response to treatment. New technology, developed at Stanford University in California, that allows cancer proteins to be analysed in tiny samples, could end the need for surgical biopsies.

Tuesday

The NUT demanded a 10 per cent pay rise saying that it refused to take “lessons in morality from the Government”. Its annual conference voted to press for a rise of £3,000 or 10 per cent, whichever is greater. Other unions have accepted pay rises of 2.3 per cent this year and next.

Liberal Media Finds Nut In Tea Party Crowd, Makes That Nut The Face Of The Movement

April 16th, 2009

To find extreme sentiments in Lafayette Park, it wasn’t necessary to look for the people with the most eccentric tea-bag-themed costumes. You could just pick a protester at random. “I think Obama’s plan is to create a catastrophic failure in our economic system, because then people will get desperate, and then you have the ability for a totalitarian government to move in,” said J’Neane Theus, 54, who retired from the Navy and now manages investments. She drove about an hour from Clarksville, Md., battling Washington’s horrific rush hour traffic to be an official marshal of the tea party (she had a white hat with “marshal” hand-scrawled in red ink to prove it). Her son, a 19-year-old Marine named Galen, stood next to her in a red, white and blue tie-dyed shirt, holding a sign accusing Barney Frank and other Democrats of treason. “I think that sounds very wacko; Americans don’t want to believe that. But we’ve seen this movie before,” the elder Theus said. I asked her where. “How about, well, fascist Italy, under Mussolini—and look at what happened to him, I would remind Obama of that,” she said. “Hitler. Stalin. Socialism has been proven not to work.”

Another seemingly sedate protester, Brian Smith, a marketer from Greenville, S.C., who was in Washington on business and came by the rally, wandered equally off message. “I love my country and I don’t like what’s going on,” Smith said. “Government—to be honest with you, and this will probably be misquoted, but on 9/11, I think they hit the wrong building. They should have gone into the Capitol building, hit out, knocked out both sides of the aisle, we’d start from scratch, we’d be better off today.” I pointed out that “they” did try to hit the Capitol. “Yeah, I know, they missed,” he said. “The wrong sequence. If someone had to go, it should have been the Capitol building. On that day I felt differently, but today that’s the way I feel.”

To be fair, conservatives have been doing this to liberals for years now.  Get a few pictures of the zaniest people at an anti-war rally then smear everyone there with that extremism.  I’ve been guilty of that, and I’m going to go ahead and admit that I was wrong.

Mixed Nuts: Recipe for a Problem

April 16th, 2009

It’s been a tough two weeks for the California pistachio industry. A voluntary recall of pistachio products from one plant in Tulare County – Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella – due to suspected salmonella contamination led to an FDA advisement to consumers not to eat any pistachios at all.

Erring on the side of caution, the FDA warning shut down sales of the California-grown nut in supermarkets and health food stores across the US – no doubt not wanting to be charged later with lax enforcement of food safety.

Having been faced with eight recalls of nut products in recent years, including the deadly salmonella variety found recently in plants owned by Peanut Corporation of America, the FDA’s quick action may be understandable.

But for the pistachio industry as a whole – represented by the Western Pistachio Association – “The lessons learned are still evolving,” says the association that represents 400 growers’ Executive Director Richard Matoian of Fresno.

“FDA sent an industry guidance that directed growers and processors to keep raw and roasted products separate at all times.” FDA repeated the advice in conference calls in recent days, he says.

FDA said it found salmonella “in critical areas” of the Terra Bella plant with news reports suggesting that “Setton employees often used the same transport bins, conveyors and packing machines for both raw and roasted pistachios, potentially contaminating the roasted nuts,” said an April 7 New York Times article.

“That’s what we understand to have been the problem but we don’t know for sure. We asked the FDA and they still haven’t told us,” says Matoian.

Major Changes?

Setton said in a news release few days ago that it is “making major changes in its processing facility” to ensure the highest standards based on FDA and California Department of Health recommendations. A Setton spokesperson would not comment further.

But the advice – don’t mix up these nuts – would match what the FDA advisory said to keep both product and processing machinery separate along with carrying out constant sampling and testing.

Matoian says the co-use of equipment to handle raw and roasted nuts varies by plant although this practice will be coming to a screaming halt now.

“This is the first time we have experienced any salmonella problem in pistachios,” says Matoian, adding that the industry practices the placement of raw nuts in a chlorine bath along with soaking them in hot water that ranges from 160 to 200 F.

In addition, raw pistachios never hit the ground when harvested, said Matoian. They are gathered from the tree shaking by a mechanical catcher and trucked to the plant. “Any nut that hits the ground is left there.”

Matoian says unlike the virulent strain of salmonella found in peanuts recently, this is a common variety of salmonella – the kind you can find in your refrigerator.”

Some Relief for Industry

In a sign of progress, by April 7 FDA allowed consumers to link to a new industry website that listed all the pistachio brands that were not being recalled – the first time the FDA has allowed this. The web site is under Cal-Pure Co-op. This lifts the blanket warning not to eat any pistachios, although this has got little press.

Setton is the number two processor in the U.S. behind Paramount (which also packs for Sunkist), but Matoian says there are some two dozen processors nationwide. “We’ve all felt this.”

The industry is a big one in the state with a farm-gate value of $540 million annually. Acreage has been growing fast in California with an estimated 40 percent of the trees young enough to have not begun production yet.

The western U.S. pistachio industry was buffeted this past year from falling prices seen with other nuts, including walnuts and almonds last September. That’s because Iran is a far bigger producer than the U.S. and a major freeze cut that nation’s production by 30 percent.

For the Setton company, the recall now of its entire 2008 crop is devastating and for its employees the shutdown means no paycheck. The company is said to have some sort of product liability insurance but the details are not known. “That’s what everybody is talking about,” says Matoian. Growers who sold that crop to the company have a major stake in that question.

Enforcement of the new regulations for the industry will be carried out by a different industry supported group that oversees the marketing order – the Administrative Committee for Pistachios.
