Kathy Van Zeeland Posh Vegas Satchel

If chic and funky best describe your wardrobe, the addition of the Kathy Van Zeeland Posh Vegas Satchel would complete the picture nicely. Unfortunately, this style has been discontinued, but a bit of ingenuity may help you in your search!

Rhinestones lend this satchel serious shine!

If you've visited your favorite department store at any point during the past several years, chances are you've seen a Kathy Van Zeeland creation. The designer specializes in eye-catching handbags with a trendy flair. Heavy on detail and available in numerous colors, Van Zeeland's bags are the epitome of reasonably priced style. It helps that there are so many styles available, too. There is truly something for everyone, from the low-key black carryall for the busy professional to the bold silver shoulder bag for the club-hopping party girl. Van Zeeland even offers sassy baby bags for ever-fashionable mommies on the go!

Kathy Van Zeeland introduces new collections every season. The looks are inspired by what's currently taking the fashion world by storm - those looks that dominate the runways and eventually pop up in shopping malls to ease the transition to the real world. The collections are vast and the offerings are numerous. It almost goes without saying that the products are not available for long - these collections are limited in production and are typically only available until all stock has sold out. After that, stores wait for shipments of the newest seasonal collections.

The moral, of course, is to scoop up the fabulous Kathy Van Zeeland bag that catches your eye as soon as you can! It may not be there next time, and tracking down discontinued styles can be quite a challenge, particularly for those designs that were very popular.

What happens in Vegas… is as exciting as your chic handbag. At least that's what the Kathy Van Zeeland team would love us all to believe, if the Vegas collection has anything to do with it. Among the many styles is the Posh Vegas Satchel, a bag made from leather-like PVC. Measuring roughly seven by eleven inches, the relatively roomy purse is extremely functional. Its interior includes a seven-inch zippered compartment, a cell phone pocket and an additional, smaller pocket to keep loose coins and other small items organized. There are even two extra pockets on the exterior of the bag! Each side boasts a discreet slip pocket, which is also ideal for loose change or anything you want to keep within very easy reach. Comfortable double handles make it easy to carry all day long, provided it's not packed to the hilt!

The real beauty, though, is in its aesthetic. True to its name, this super-posh purse is glitzy in metallic gold leather (though it's also available in two other shades). The real shine comes courtesy of the rhinestone-accented metal buckles, which gleam for miles and promise to turn heads! This being a Vegas-inspired piece, of course, means there can never be too much shine! There are also rhinestone accents on the bag's side and substantial studs on the straps and around the buckles. Even the lining is a glamorous satiny pink with a light sheen. The focal point – once attention is diverted from the plentiful rhinestones and bold color, that is – is the cluster of charms that absolutely scream Vegas. They include lucky dice, rhinestone horseshoes and the Van Zeeland charm.

Although most fashion mavens love a good challenge every now and then, the search for a discontinued item is usually not very exciting. In fact, it can be downright frustrating in the case of Kathy Van Zeeland. The designer's Posh Vegas Satchel was a big hit back in 2005, so it comes as no surprise that avid fans may be interested in getting their hands on one today. Of course, that was many years ago and it's difficult in almost any designer's case to track down older designs.

There may be some hope for tracking down the Kathy Van Zeeland Posh Vegas Satchel if you keep your eye on eBay and conduct regular searches for it. Styles from the Vegas collection do crop up from time to time. Van Zeeland bags are often available at discount designer retailers, such as Marshalls and Filene's Basement, but it's unlikely that such an old style will be found. There's no harm in looking, though! Thrift shops and consignment stores are two other options. Just keep your eyes peeled for the glitzy-as-Vegas, blindingly shiny bag!
