Foley + Corinna Bender Bags - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

I’m a bit frustrated with myself that I didn’t snag one of the Foley + Corinna Bender bags from the HauteLook sample sale. By the time I logged on (8:00.01) almost all of the bags were on hold (common event @ HL sales), so I snagged the first bag that caught my eye -- the City in slate blue pebbled leather. Although one minute after the purchase I was a bit disappointed because I really wanted to get the glossy blue glazed version. Oh well, I can’t complain too much since the prices were so amazingly low at this sale – I’m talking like under $200 for bags that usually carry a retail of double that.

I’m still craving the Bender.

The Bender bag, designed by New York designers Anna Corinna and Dana Foley, who bring their passion for vintage detail to this very modern, functional and spacious everyday bag.

Left: Bender in Black @ shopbop - $468
An ultra-chic, vintage-inspired style with a convenient, expandable shape.

Distressed leather handbag with magnetic-snap pocket at one side and turn-lock style clasp at other. Short, double handles and 13" main compartment zipper. Lined interior. Measures 14" height x 16" length x 6" depth. 6" strap drop.

Right: Bender in Lichen @ Tobi - $485
This Bender Bag is a standout choice for spring in a serene green hue with gleaming gold hardware. The gold turnlock can be opened to reveal an expandable middle with zip closure. The other side of the bag features a hidden magnetic snap pocket. Measures 14" height x 16" length x 6" depth. 6" strap

I like the way it looks, but of course it is WAY too big for me. LOL!

I am loving that Lichen color. I wonder what it looks like IRL?

That's cute, but I also really like the bag you got from Hautelook. It's more classic ...like this one, if I saw you walking down the street I wouldn't automatically know that it's a foley and corinna bag. The one you got is sooo F+C!
