Small Purse Love

Even though most of Moni Moni’s purses are spacious and roomy enough for all of your essentials, there are certain times when a smaller bag is preferred. Check out some of our new small purse designs:
Tokyo Street Fashion
Romina Clutch in Pulp

Romina

This adorable over-the-shoulder purse is great for those looks and times when you don’t want to wear a tote or large bag. Small purses are common in Japanese street fashion (pictured above); even though it’s small, an exquisitely-designed purse like Romina is sure to stand out in heavily-accessorized looks like this one! With the subtle ‘M’ logo stitched to the front flap, you can let everyone know that you’re rocking Italian fine leather without distracting from the beauty of the design.

Fairmont Clutch in Milk Chocolate

Florence Clutch

If you aren’t feeling the straps for a certain outfit and still want something small to carry your much-needed items, the Florence Clutch is a fabulously stylish option. As Japanese Vogue editor Anna Dello Russo and fashion journalist Betty Yuan Bachz exhibited at Milan Fashion Week, clutches are effortlessly chic! Available in both Milk Chocolate and Forest Green, these darker hues are ideal for your Fall and Winter wear.

Two and A Half Men Star Shows Of His Moni Moni Bag

Angus T. Jones wearing the Moni Moni Murse

Handbags aren’t just for the ladies! Angus T. Jones of the Emmy-winning sitcom Two and a Half Men proves that the guys can look great sporting them, too.

Jones — who shares the small screen with Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher on the hit show — resumed his role as Cryer’s underachieving, surly son Jake Harper in the ninth season series premiere last night on CBS.

Despite his on-screen character’s excessive interests in eating in sleeping, Jones appears to have quite the eye for fashion — as evidenced by his Moni Moni choice! The 17 year-old sports the Moni Moni Murse in black/brown, definitely pairing a cool touch of high fashion with his casual, relaxed style.

Of course, this bag isn’t just for the men, either! This over-the-shoulder, 100% luxury Italian leather purse is perfect for women, too. The two-tiered flap design makes this in vogue bag ideal for everything from work and school to a night out on the town.

Here are some more celebrities showing off their love for the Murse:

New York Fashion Week Picks

It’s that time of year again! From classic designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs to new favorites Victoria Beckham and Christian Siriano, it is never a dull moment at New York Fashion Week — it is certainly always a fashionable one, though!

Even though the lines showcased this week are intended for Spring/Summer 2012, it never hurts to plan your outfits ahead. This is why Moni Moni wanted to show off our top picks; one thing is for sure — we cannot wait to burst out our prints come next season!

Splendor Large in Vanilla

First we have a look from Anna Wintour favorite Carolina Herrera. How perfect would this look go with the Splendor Large in Vanilla? The green jacket and sparrow printed skirt are to die for! The soft, luscious leather of the Splendor handbag accentuates the femininity of this tailored outfit — it’s great to take to work, too!

Tote Mocha Latte

Our next pick comes from Chris Benz, who quickly gained recognition in the fashion world for scoring the coveted CFDA scholarship a few years ago and then later interned with Marc Jacobs. We love the quirky, fun take on this rather conservative cut — it looks dreamy with the Tote Mocha Latte.

Mini Luna Candy

Lastly, we absolutely needed to find an excuse to pair the Mini Luna Candy with a NYFW look. Thankfully, designer Rachel Roy didn’t let us down with this sophisticated and professional outfit. Can you tell how much we love prints?

P.S. Check out how fashion blogger Claire of De Lune prepped for NYFW with the classic Moni Moni Splendor.

Romantic Gypsies Inspired Kate Moss to Wed

While many folks are still in awe over Kate Middleton‘s royal wedding, another famous Kate didn’t spare any expenses when it came to her own! Supermodel Kate Moss married Jamie Hince of The Kills earlier last month, and this month’s Vogue magazine has all the details and photos of the lavish affair. Despite having been engaged since 2008, Moss explains in the article that she didn’t get around to tying the knot until the British documentary Big Fat Gypsy Weddings persuaded her.

Kate Moss with her husband

“I am so romantic about Gypsies. They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius. I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!”

Just as romance and extravagances sparked passion in Kate, these dreamy notions also inspire many Moni Moni designs. The Dolce Vita bag in particular brings a flirty elegance unmatched in its precision Italian leather. Although it may be an everyday go-to bag, the design is sure to compliment any romantic, edgy, or business event — it’s an all-around everything bag with the utmost class.

Dolce Vita in Caramel

Like Kate, every woman ought to follow their inspirations — especially when it comes to purchasing handbags, of course!
