Diesel “Musa”
I have seen the line that the Musa is a part of in a store recently, and I have to say it is really intruiguing. These are not your usual habdbags, that’s for sure. Especially the Doris bag, but I feel as if the idea is a bit too overdone in that case. On the other hand Musa is getting the idea behind these bags across in a prefect yet subtle manner .
The only thing I do not like about this bag is the limited number of available colors - you can pick between white and silver only. I just love the white one, and I could be ok with it being white, if it didn’t have white leather handles as well. That is such a set back that I am not even considering getting myself one. I mean, when you are outside, you cannot avoid getting your hands dirty touching door knobs and the like, and getting the white handles stained is something you cannot escape. The handles may not become dirty instantly, but over time, it will definitely be noticable. I wish it was available in black or maybe even beige.
The nappa leather and silver toned hardware, which is massive, create a very modern, minimalistic feel which I loved the first time I saw it. It is perfect if you want to make a certain style statement, with its unusual and very noticable and bold metal frame. I love the concept and the fact that it is available only in the colors mentioned above makes me sad.
Anyhow, some of the features include a zip top closure and an interior zip pocket. I love seeing ideas like this one implemented into designs so elegantly.

Diesel SS08 Nappa Hobo
Wow, this is an amazing bag. Remember in my post about Diesel Gall and how I said that I love Diesel? Well, after that I was seeing only the canvas bags from Diesel and honestly, I was starting to ask myself what is going on there? Where has all the good stuff gone? It just didn’t look like Diesel at all. They were plain, really nothing special. Seeing the SS08 items on Yoox.com really calmed me down, since there are some beautiful bags there. They are not all canvas, and those that are, look good. Not spectacular, but definitely good.
On the other hand, this one looks not just spectacular, but divine! A definite hit! 
The combination of nappa leather and shiny canvas is prefect just like the colors chosen for the bag. You can choose between 2 delicious color schemes - khaki leather and, what I would call, dark pink canvas and light brown leather and shiny yellow. Both are beautiful, and I really do not know which one to go for… Ah, choices, choices..
Anyway, the handle drop is quite big, so you can carry it on your shoulder. Let me give you a scoop on the features: external pocket, internal zip pocket, zip top closure and the signature Diesel dangling charms (I love them dearly;) ).
Of course this is not a bag you will carry with you to work (eventhough that depends on where you work), but it is an amazing bag for any day activity which does not require any seriousness, anything you do in your free time. Also, an additional plus is the really low price for this very chic hobo. I say go for it, without much thought!

Diesel “Roz”
In my post about Diesel Galla from the other day I shared my feelings and opinions for the brand in question, and eventhough I have an urge to share them again I will sustain myself. I just LOVE Diesel!! Ooops… Sorry, must have slipped my mind what I wrote in the previous sentence 
I love this gadget, as the Diesel official site calls it. But I have a problem, actually a huge problem. The Diesel official site does not provide any information on the size of this gadget. We all know how misled you can be about the size of the bag if the website you are browsing does not have a manakin or a model carrying the bag or if you haven’t seen the bag IRL. I know that happened to me about a million times. This is how it works - you see the bag, you instantly get an impression on the size of the bag and and you love it, but then, this season in particular due to the trend of oversizing, you open a picture with a model carrying that bag and you somehow don’t like the bag so much anymore. I know I sometimes hate the bag after I’ve seen a model carrying it and just a moment ago I was in love with it. IMHO it has to do with the proportions of the bag and of course the shape of the bag.
The thing is, I like this bag that much that I’m going to rationalize this size thing. The thing bothering me is whether it is a clutch or a wallet. It is featured with a strap, I would like to think of it a wrist strap and actually, I can not think of any other reason to put a leather strap on a wallet, judging from the proportions, a purposeless strap. It is also featured with an interior zip pocket and I also don’t see any reason to design a wallet as a purse. Having these two elaborations in mind, I will assume that this gadget is really a wristlet and I announce that I am in love with it.
The Diesel Roz is made 100% of leather with embossed leather detailing, has a zip closure, a leather strap and an internal zip pocket. There are two versions available, beige and black and the embossed deatiling is different on each version. I honestly love both versions and I would like them both in my bag collection. I do not care that I would have two exact same bags, I love them.
And I would carry it anywhere with me, daytime or nightime, all the same..
SIZE: unknown (I will check in a Diesel store)
PRICE: EUR 120,00 @ Diesel.com

Diesel “Gall”
I am a huge fan of Diesel, especially Diesel accessories. You name it, sunglasses, jewlery, handbags… Anything! Everything they make is unique and looks fabulous. Of course there are certain products from their line I would not buy, but their stuff always looks at least one notch better than the stuff their competitors come out with. Even the items that were meant to look shabby have a high-quality feel to them which I really like.
Here we have a very catchy intense red shoulder bag with Diesel signature hardware. I am really happy to see another bag that is not oversized. The whole larger-than-your-other-bags trend is great and the big bags look great, no doubt about that, but I somehow yearn for smaller bags. Being constantly bombarded by huge bags, I almost forgot how stylish a woman looks when carrying a smaller shoulder bag.
I think it’s about time I tell you someting about the bag I’m posting about. Gall is made of synthetic leather, has dual shoulder straps with an 11″ drop and a top zip closure. The interior is featured with red squares and flower print lining, a zip pocket and multiple slip pockets.
This is a drop dead gorgeous shoulder bag and I guarantee that it will lift your daily look just as well as your friday night look. It would definately go great with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, black top and a pair of black peep-toe heels! I hope you can imagine this outfit as well as I can! Oh, and by the way, did I mention that this bag is a steal, priced at only $93?
SIZE: 12″w x 7,5″h x 7″d
