Designer Rafe Totengco for Rafe New York recently released his New York Fall/Winter 2012 collection of bags. His collection was a mixture of both practicality and elegance as seen in the bag design and materials.

The designer showcased a mixture of practical bags, good for daily use. The big bags that are showcased in the collection contain pockets, great for on-the-go. On the other hand, there is also a “high-end” feel in the collection through the clutches that were showcased in the collection. One example of such would be Rafe’s Sirene clutch, which is shaped like a shell. This is perfect for women when attending formal events.



One of the best things about this collection is the price. Most of the bags in the collection are less than US$500, very cheap in terms of handbags.
