While making her way through the airport en route to London for the Royal Wedding, Victoria Beckham was dressed in her chic pregnancy staple outfit - leggings, Louboutin boots, a Marc Jacobs leather jacket, VB sunglasses, and a loose tank... all black. The pop of color came from her spring 2011 "Victoria" bag that was a lovely blush matt crocodile with pale gold hardware. Love this bag so so much!

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) bosses have reignited a dispute with Victoria Beckham over her accessories range, rejecting claims the animal-skin products adhere to strict ethical guidelines.

Executives at the animal rights group slammed the former Spice Girls star when she unveiled the collection last year, with purses made from crocodile and lizard skin, as well as calf leather.

Beckham's spokesperson brushed off the criticism, saying, "Everyone is entitled to personal opinion and choice, but as with all Victoria Beckham products, the handbags are made to the highest quality and design. These skins sit strictly within the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) regulations, and are monitored at every step of production. The skins are farmed in America under very tight guidelines."

But on Sunday, a representative for PETA once again took aim at the range, which proved a huge hit when it went on sale in January.

A statement reads, "PETA pledges to eat its own cloth hat if the animals skinned to make Victoria Beckham’s bags are humanely or ethically treated. Whether in America or elsewhere, exotic animals suffer tremendously before they are turned into accessories. In the U.S, wild alligators are gaffed (skinned) alive in the swamps, strung up and skinned, or they are raised in filthy, crowded, waste-infused tanks, often in sheds, where the smell alone would knock you over."

"They may be killed by being repeatedly bludgeoned with baseball bats and having their spines crudely severed with hammers and chisels. Exotic skins are produced by incredibly cruel means, no matter how Mrs Beckham’s PR people try to spin it."

Beckham's spokesperson has responded to the latest criticism, telling Britain's Daily Mail, "There is no PR spin here. As is the case for many luxury handbag brands including Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Dior and others, the Victoria Beckham handbag collection features a small number of styles made from exotic skins."

"Working with and using exotic skins, sits within very strict ethical guidelines and we work absolutely within those guidelines to ensure every bag we produce is accredited with the required Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species certificates."

Victoria Beckham likes to keep things clean and simple, and she also clearly favors concertina-style sides and divided interiors as shown on this Hexagonal Chain Leather Shoulder Bag. Matte-finish rose leather gets zero adornments except for fine stitching along edges and minimal but bright goldtone hardware. The chain shoulder strap is made up of flattened hexagonal links for added interest and texture, and there's a small push-lock fastening visible on the front. There's also a golden designer-stamped plaque beneath the flap and the interior is lined in beige leather and features three compartments, several pouch and zippered pockets, and a removable designer-stamped matching wallet. $3,250

New at Holts! Victoria Beckham's highly anticipated line of handbags has hit Holt Renfrew for spring.

They were the highlight of the bags from Victoria's fall 2011 collection and leave it to David to debut one. I'm talking about Victoria's new duffle bags. These bags were definitely a focal point in the presentation and of course, they were designed because each season Victoria makes sure there is something her hubby could use... a duffle is perfect!

I want to start by apologizing for the less than top notch quality photos, but I have yet to come across really good ones of the handbags, but I did want to give you guys a sneak peak at the new designs!

This season Victoria added in a variation of her Victoria bag with two different zippered tote bags. She also added in suede materials - not just the typical leather.

Victoria also debuted a new clutch design which comes in an exotic skin and what appears to be a printed leather.

Of course the bag collection wouldn't be complete without something David could use! There was a brand new travel bag added that appeared to be made of the same cashmere as the dresses.

What was most dominant in the collection was the cross body duffel bags that several of the models wore down the runway. Unlike last season where she had shoulder bags, for fall she eliminated that particular style and went with something a bit edgier and bolder - the duffel. One of the duffel's also featured the same print as the dresses. (Just realized I misspelled "duffel" above in the pic... oops!).

Like I said, I read that the Victoria bag was going to be uploaded to NAP this past week and in fact it was... the UK site only though. Even though the bag just hit the international market and with a £2,300 price tag, it sold out within mere minutes of it's launch!

According to InStyle, the infamous Victoria bag from Victoria's very first handbag collection is set to come to Net-a-Porter this week.

Apparently the bag was supposed to launch on the online store late last week but I checked and nothing was added to her page on the site.

Hopefully this means that we will see the bag sometime very soon (aka this week). Yesterday, three of the spring 2011 dress designs were added and there already have been two handbags available... which have both already sold out and have been restocked.

I'll keep checking and definitely post information when it is sure to be available for purchase. Get those credit cards ready ladies. And wink wink to you gentleman out there... a Victoria bag would make a lovely, and very special, Valentine's Day gift! ;)
