The show ended 20 minutes ago and we rushed backstage to get these photos of the Spring 2011 to put up immediately. There are a few new shapes, the most exciting being the Ume (pix 3 & 4) in cement embossed leather and bleached python. He has given new meaning to the ladylike shoulder with an edge that is as cool as it is chic. The biggest stand-out on the runway were the mixed media chartreuse suede, white croc embossed leather and black leather with his signature ram’s head. The tote is simply to die for! The smaller shoulder bags have an updated feel but are easy for everyday. There are tiny baby shoulder bags that are adorable and perfect as an alternative for evening but I want one right now for running around New York during fashion week!

Never seen so ugly bags. Yet.
They are very interesting materials and combinations, saw it in person, they were so wonderful!
Dear lola,
No need to be so mean, you haven’t seen it in person, or none carry one, why you need to be so hateful? Easy to being hate behind the screen, understand there were many people worked very hard behind this, you would of appreciate more where things coming from. But again, that’s your options, you felt good to leave such statement my dear?
These are the ugliest bags that I have ever seen. They look cheap and tacky.
Dear Anonymous,
Stupid comment,bad writing.
The bags are ugly.
A bit…dull to be honest.
LOVED THEM (especially the tote)!! But maybe because I’m a little biased towards Derek Lam? Who knows, but I am looking forward to that tote.
Sometimes I think the Bag Snobs have stopped being objective and started being simply political so they can continue to be invited to the shows and backstage. The Bag Snobs know most of these bags are extremely fugly – they know it, they just want to continue to be invited to the shows and parties.
@anonimous.There is no hate in my comment just a matter of fact and an opinion and I confirm that I have never seen more ugly bags in my (long) life. Of course there is no disrespect toward anyone but anyone is free to feel, judge and speak. Keep cool, lola.
Whoa. I know it’s Monday but geez. Though these bags aren’t my cup o’ leather/suede/croc, they’re definitely well-made, interesting bags worth mentioning. Simmer down now.
I think the cement white shoulder bag is edgy and cool. I applaud Derek Lam for doing something unique and taking chances.
Dear M,
Maybe Bag Snobs,do not know that “these bags are extremely fugly”,maybe Bag Snobs have very,very bad taste!
It seems like every time we like something that some else does not, it means we are being paid off or being political. Everyone has differing opinions, it keeps things interesting!
