GUESS Handbags Fall 2007
Written by Yvette N. Coleman

From the GUESS accessory line this fall season the handbag collection continues to offer sexy, eye catching handbags, totes, and clutches.  The presentation was given in NYC in a quaint space with cases of boastful clutches in animal prints, with gold hardware, studs in various sizes that are versatile for everyday and every occasion. These top of the line accessory products fit perfectly into the GUESS lifestyle.  Here are a few of my favorite groups from this coming season's collection.

TEMPEST
The woven jacquard material is trimmed with vintage washed crocodile and pale shiny gold hardware. This is a classic vintage logo with oversized luggage detailing, pleating, and chains. It is rich and embellished. The bodies are sophisticated and elegant, with a touch of runway chic mixed with classic couture.
Colors Black, Ruby, Stone, Blue, and Green

GLOSS
Based on last season's best seller Corinne, Gloss carries on the pointelle jacquard signature story for the season. This story is about clean modern utility. It is the urban warrior with a feminine touch. Trimmed with shiny patent ostrich and shiny nickel hardware, this group drives home the signature story. The bodies are freshly updated, with new styles such as the satchel at right, a great hobo, and a new fabulous bowler
Colors Black and Brown.

TABOO
The major runway shows of the season featured the animal trend in all sorts of shapes and forms. The Guess girl does the animal trend in a soft and sexy way. Romantic whimsical
meets sexy urban savage. Soft leopard fur is trimmed with vintage patent. The look is playful but the bodies are sophisticated and all grown up...

TEMPTATION
Channeling our inner graffiti artist, Temptation hits the theme of urban, sexy, and playful at the same time - the soul of the Guess girl. This group features soft denim trimmed
with patent crinkle material and embellished with rhinestone applique and a prominent stamped logo. The braided straps add even more fun to this collection. The bodies are back to school in concept.
Colors - Black Denim and Blue Denim

DAYTONA SUEDE
The theme Rock 'N Roll Debutante is all about sexy aggressive looks for the girl who is edgy and fashion forward. Daytona Suede is all about that - it takes soft suede and gives it a dose of fashion with heavy metal corners and shiny patent trim.
Colors- Black, Camel, Purple, and Stone
