Halloween is creeping upon us, and what better way to get in the spirit than with a stylish handbag that represents the holiday? When I think of Halloween I instantly think of: bats, vampires, zombies, ghosts, and skulls. Skulls have always been fashionable and several brands have been notorious for styling up a skull on a product every now and then.

Ed Hardy has always been known to have some sort of stylish skull on a majority of his products, and he just featured another one on one of his bags. Ed Hardy Passport II Bon Tote features a colorful but yet tasteful skull right in the center of the bag. There is nothing much to the bag other than it being black with a huge skull on it.

The tote may be simple, but somehow it’s actually kind of fabulous. I’m not sure if I would personally carry this tote around other than in October, but for a fun “Halloween” style bag it’s kind of fun. If you love skulls though, you may just want to carry this bag around all year long. It’s spacious, closes easily with the magnetic snap closure, and has a platform bottom.

It’s definitely a great bag to use when you have a lot of things to carry around. I carry a lot around when I’m going to class, and to be able to put all mybooks
, school supplies, and laptop
in a bag works wonders. I guess I really could use this tote more than just in October. It’s definitely an interesting bag, that will catch people’s eyes no matter where you go.

The Ed Hardy Passport II Bon Tote can be purchased at Zappos for $79, which I believe is an amazing deal for this bag. Ed Hardy bags usually run a couple hundred dollars, so to see one below $100 is a steal! If you love Ed Hardy or skulls in general, I’d grab this bag quick before they are all gone. Ed Hardy is extremely popular, and I’m sure this bag won’t be available long with a low price like that.

I love Ed Hardy shirts, and bathing suits, but once again the brand that is notorious for it’s amazing tattoo art work has disappointed me yet again. Ed Hardy has basically took the Louis Vuitton Speedy design and made a different yet horrific version. It seems that Ed Hardy was trying to reach new heights with this style of bag, but in reality made a handbag that looks tacky.

The Ed Hardy La Dolce Vita Bianca Satchel features colors all throughout the exterior of the handbag. Everywhere you look on the handbag is a splash of color, as well as a tattoo design. The tattoo designs work lovely on the Ed Hardy shoes, shirts, and bathing suits but on a handbag is looks like a complete fashion error. I suppose if you are a fan of tattoo’s you probably will love this handbag, but for fashionista’s that love true high fashion you may see this as a Gucci or Louis Vuitton copy cat.

Some details of the handbag include: being made of synthetic leather; dual handles; logo dangle embellishment; platform bottom with feet; top zip closure; and interior lining.

The Ed Hardy La Dolce Vita Bianca Satchel can be purchased at Zappos for $231, which I think is way too much for this handbag. The handbag is made of synthetic leather, and doesn’t have that “wow” factor for it to cost that much. If you love Ed Hardy though, you may just love this handbag.

One of the Ed Hardy handbags that I’ve looked at quite often at the store is the Koi San Jill Satchel. I haven’t been eying it because I’m interested in buying one, more like it’s so vibrant that it instantly grabs your attention in the handbag departments.

Don’t get me wrong I do think all of Ed Hardy’s creations are beautiful, but sometimes the handbags are so colorful and gaudy that they come off tacky.

The Koi San Jill Satchel is made entirely of fabric and has a tattoo design detail on the front of it. Other details of the bag include dual shoulder straps and a top zip closure. There honestly is nothing much to this bag. It’s basically fabric that resembles a quilt, has a little tattoo design and that’s it.

The Ed Hardy Koi San Jill Satchel can be purchased in Black or Coral for $149 at Zappos. I’m not too fond of the bag, so I believe the price tag is a bit much. If you love Ed Hardy though, then this would be the perfect bag for you.

Christian Audigier is no stranger to the power of celebrity when it comes to marketing his clothes.

And while stars including Britney Spears, Heidi Klum and Nicollette Sheridan have been snapped in pieces from his Ed Hardy fashion line, the French designer has reportedly called on the pulling power of one of the world’s most iconic women, Madonna.

The 50-year-old Material Girl is said to have jumped at the opportunity to work on a trendy new range for the tattoo-inspired fashion label when she was approached by Christian, who’s designing an outfit for Michael Jackson‘s upcoming tour.

Following her foray into fashion design with H&M the stylish singer has been offered six-figure deal to design a special collection that will include tattoo-inspired T-shirts and diamante-encrusted bodices, the Daily Mirror reports.
