2. Aldo Dororado Patent Bow Clutch | Kitsch Snakeskin Silhouette Purse - 2009-05-04 20:46:43-04
   Aldo has done it again. That is, they have produced a cute, lovable bag that is completely affordable. And when I say affordable, I mean it comes in at a credit-crunch friendly $19.98. Never before have I been quite so fond of a bargain basement item like this. I think it is the design that does [...]

4. Natalia Vodianova Models Handbags for Nina Ricci | New Spring and Summer Ad Campaign - 2009-05-04 23:29:28-04
   Natalia Vodianova is one of my favorite models to follow. She's just so unique, sophisticated, chic, and seemingly unpretentious. Considering that description, I really can't think of anyone better to model for designer Nina Ricci, whose collections embody everything that Vodianova represents. The Russian supermodel is currently starring in Nina Ricci's spring/summer 09 accessories advertising campaign [...]
   
5. Chloe Edith Tote | Brown Leather Double-Handle Bag - 2009-05-05 01:49:19-04
   With a doctor's bag feel and traditional leather styling, plus extra fashionable details, this Chloe tote fills a lot of wardrobe needs. If you're a one-bag woman and prefer to have one carry-all you use almost daily for a season or a year, this is definitely that type of purse. With a neutral color and classic silhouette the Chloe [...]
   
6. Evans Patent Clutch | Glamorous Black Mock Crocodile Purse - 2009-05-05 02:05:48-04
   The financial crisis hasn't tempered our taste for exotic purses, but it has forced many of us to tighten our belts. Convincing alternatives like this Evans clutch allow us to have all of the glamor of these luxury leathers at a fraction of the price. This sexy purse favors a simple design which puts the glossy [...]
   
7. Luxury Handbag Designers Still Tops in Financial Crisis | Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Gucci Bags Worth Billions - 2009-05-05 03:05:59-04
   The financial crisis hasn't tainted the allure of our favorite luxury handbags. US magazine Forbes says the top three designer labels have maintained their worth in the face of the credit crunch. French fashion house Louis Vuitton is still leading the pack with a brand value of $19 billion US. It's streaks ahead of second place [...]
   
8. Emporio Armani Strappy Shoulder Bag | Plum Luxury Leather Belt Accent Handbag - 2009-05-05 04:05:12-04
   We've seen Giorgio Armani create purses that are flamboyant and frou frou, but here he shows what he can do when exercising a little restraint. This strappy bag has plenty of personality in an entirely practical package. The belted detail is the star of the show, wrapping around the purse in a spontaneous haphazard way. It's [...]
   
9. Jimmy Choo Lola Medium Slouchy Tote | Bohemian Tote With Leather Cutout Details - 2009-05-05 19:01:09-04
   Women all over the world find Jimmy Choo's shoes totally irresistible. I'm only somewhat partial to them myself, but I have to say that, for the most part, I have been totally disappointed by his accessories line. It lacks the sophisticated simplicity of his shoes, and falls a little short of what I expect from [...]
   
10. LeSportsac Morgan Mini Backpack | Whimsical and Practical Nylon Bag - 2009-05-05 20:14:48-04
    I wouldn't call a backpack a necessary accessory unless you're a student or you find yourself hitting the trails often. However, when an event calls for such a practical means of toting your stuff, a backpack can be seriously handy. The LeSportsac Morgan backpack in black and white, with just the tiniest bit of yellow thrown [...]
    
11. Nine West Denim Agnes Crossbody Purse | Patent Handbag with Nude Trim - 2009-05-05 21:31:02-04
    Sometimes the season's fads are hard to wear. However, the ever-popular denim trend need not be one of them. Rather than wearing the cringe-worthy denim jacket and jeans combo, instead you can fling on this cute denim style bag from accessible designer Nine West. Indeed, you can even combine the "New Nudes" trend, with the [...]
    
12. Kenneth Cole New York Motorway Large Flap Bag | Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-05-05 21:42:20-04
    With all the cute, bright spring bags on shelves and websites right now, it's refreshing to see something a little more rock and roll like this Kenneth Cole New York Motorway bag. The handbag features both a small handle strap and a longer detachable shoulder strap that can convert this to a cross-body purse. This is definitely a [...]
    
13. Anya Hindmarch's London Store Burglarized | Designer Deals with Loss for the Sixth Time - 2009-05-05 23:10:23-04
    Someone's either got it out for Anya Hindmarch or has a real thing for her handbag designs. A smash-and-grab gang burglarized one of the designer's London stores on Monday. Unfortunately, this is the sixth time that the label's stores have been targeted. Anya Hindmarch said of the incident: "I am devastated that we have been broken into once again.  Whilst [...]
    
14. Dolce & Gabbana Miss Night And Day Hobo | Fabulous Black Leather Pintucked Hobo - 2009-05-05 23:45:50-04
    Dolce & Gabbana have been at the head of the trends for as long as I can remember, and there's no mistaking why. It's because they give fashionistas a high quality, fashion driven selection of designs. And this Miss Night And Day Hobo fits right into their fabulous line. I have seen a lot of new [...]
    
15. Hype Jordan Cross Body Bag | Snakeskin Embossed Leather North-South Handbag - 2009-05-06 02:05:17-04
    The Jordan is for those girls who love to look good, but don't want to try too hard. It takes care of the style, so you can just grab and go. The leather is embossed with a subtle snakeskin print and finished with a glossy sheen. The shiny fabric is paired with equally glitzy gold hardware. [...]
    
16. Louis Vuitton Creates Cake Trunk for Selfridges' Birthday Celebrations - 2009-05-06 03:05:27-04
    Louis Vuitton has gifted British department store Selfridges with a very special birthday surprise. It's this cake trunk, a miniature version of their legendary trunk designed especially for transporting birthday cake. The unique one-of-a-kind piece was handmade in Louis Vuitton's Asnieres factory. The exterior sports the famous brown on tan Louis Vuitton logo, while the interior [...]
    
17. Maddalena Marconi Pink Satin Purse | Jeweled Evening Clutch with Chain Strap - 2009-05-06 04:05:37-04
    At the end of the month I'm attending a ball to raise funds for breast cancer research. Naturally, the theme is black and pink. I considered finding a black clutch, but knowing my purse would be just one in a sea of conservative tones I decided against it. And so my quest for that perfect [...]
    
18. Big Buddha Uptown Shoulder Bag | Gold Synthetic Leather Handbag - 2009-05-06 20:53:09-04
    At first glance, this Big Buddha Uptown bag's shape reminds me of the Jessica Simpson Gotham Satchel. However, while the Gotham has a structured appearance, the Uptown looks a little more laid-back.    It's not a slouchy, boho-style handbag that you'd carry with very casual outfits. Instead, the style results in a combination of informal and dressy, [...]
    
19. Make Love Not Trash Fly Away Tote Bag | Hippie Chic Eco-Friendly Shopper Handbag - 2009-05-06 22:13:52-04
    Don't you love a fashion label with a great name? As any marketing guru will tell you, having a great name can move your brand from average to brilliant. Make Love Not Trash have done just that, with an environmental statement dressed up in trendy 60s philosophies. It is the main reason that this bag caught [...]
    
20. Models, Designers, and Celebrities Mingle at the Met Ball | Marc Jacobs and Kate Moss Co-Host - 2009-05-06 23:50:05-04
    Fashionistas were out in droves the other night as designers, models, and more than a few celebrities gathered for the infamously exclusive Costume Institute Gala in New York City. The event celebrated the opening of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The theme for the evening was "The Model as Muse", an appropriate choice [...]
    
21. Sonia Kashuk Valet Bag | Affordable Crazy Print Travel Handbag - 2009-05-07 01:22:09-04
    The quickest way to inject a little freshness into your wardrobe for a new season is a new accessory. With this Sonia Kashuk Valet Bag, it's also the cheapest. The print caught my eye while I was reading the Steals and Deals column on IVillage. These types of prints are seen on higher-end bags all the [...]
    
22. Nina Ricci Suede Clutch | Chic Asymmetrical Salmon Pink Purse - 2009-05-07 02:05:33-04
    Nina Ricci keeps it simple with this chic clutch. It's the antidote to all those overworked evening purses covered in sparkling sequins, glittering rhinestones, frills and frippery. Instead the lines are smooth, and the details are kept to a bare minimum. Of course basic never means boring where Nina Ricci is concerned. The highlight is the asymmetrical [...]
    
23. Jimmy Choo Designer Jonathan Kelsey and Singer Estelle Create New Belvie Bag - 2009-05-07 03:05:41-04
    Former Jimmy Choo designer Jonathan Kelsey has joined forces with Belvedere vodka and British soul singer Estelle to develop the Belvie bag. The limited edition purse is tailor-made for all the divas out there with its gold accents and dramatic cross-stitching details. Estelle has the rockstar cred to pull this look off, but I'm not sure [...]
    
24. RG House of Florence Bucket Bag | Leather Purse with Straw Canvas Stripe - 2009-05-07 04:05:03-04
    Add a little springtime whimsy to your outfit with this cute bucket bag from RG House of Florence. It's made from smooth boar leather in a sunshine yellow shade, accented with straw canvas. The canvas stripe has a unique curved shape and an earthy natural tone, which contrasts with the vibrant leather. The bucket shape is [...]
    
25. MICHAEL Michael Kors Yellow Patent Clutch | Sunny And Bright Yellow Patent Purse With Buckle Detail - 2009-05-07 10:22:35-04
    In the 90's, every model you ever heard of (and some that you haven't) was head-to-toe in Michael Kors. He somehow became THE designer for chic designer basics. Not that much has changed, except his public, which is now much broader due to the success of Project Runway. With a more diverse consumer, the MICHAEL Michael [...]
    
26. Matt & Nat Avril Satchel | Bright Red Vegan-Friendly Handbag - 2009-05-07 20:28:56-04
    Of all the Matt & Nat handbags I've seen, this Avril Satchel is probably the most classic design of all of them. Styles like the Fifty-Five and the Portishead both have more of a contemporary edge, but the Avril does have a hard time being completely traditional. Although the satchel has a nice A-line shape, the little [...]
    
27. Christian Dior Patent Leather Tote | Classic Streamlined Lady Dior Carry All - 2009-05-07 21:10:39-04
    If there is one problem with totes or hold-alls, it that is that they look bulky. Stuffed with your treasured belongings, they are full of lumps, bumps and are unattractively bulgy. This bag, however, is here to put an end to all ungraceful totes. Dior once again offer a solution to an age old problem, providing [...]
    
28. Chanel Collaborates with Car Designer for New Concept Car, Chanel Fiole - 2009-05-08 00:15:14-04
    I must have missed the memo about fashion and transportation partnerships being the next big thing. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it's collaboration station in the luxury designer world. Versace teamed up with Lamborghini for the Murciélago LP640 Roadster and even created a special line of men's travel bags to complement them. Also [...]
    
29. Aldo Dororime Bag | Neutral Zip-Detail Clutch - 2009-05-08 01:39:08-04
    With all the summer weddings and events coming up, you're going to need a workhorse clutch that will match almost anything in your closet. I present for contention the Also Dororime Clutch. The most important thing for being able to grab it and go - it will match nearly anything and the light taupe is perfect for [...]
    
30. The SAK Eco Harmony Shopper | Environmentally Friendly Crocheted Yarn Bag - 2009-05-08 02:05:55-04
    The SAK is known for its affordable yet stylish leather creations. It's abandoned its uptown girl image here for something that's a little more hippie-chic. This shopper is from The SAK's eco-friendly SakRoots line. Its hand-crocheted body is crafted from an environmentally friendly combination of bamboo and viscose yarns. The rich colors come from all natural [...]
    
31. Gucci Takes Guess To Court | Luxury Handbag Brand Sues for Trademark Infringement - 2009-05-08 03:05:16-04
    Guess is famous for mimicking the looks of designer bags for a fraction of the cost. But now its biggest competitor, Gucci, has had enough. The luxury label is suing for trademark infringement. The case seems simple enough. Both brands utilize the "G" logo and signature prints with the interlocking letter. The only difference in many [...]
    
32. Emilio Pucci Metallic Handbag | Gold Leather Purse with Beads and Rhinestones - 2009-05-08 04:05:31-04
    Emilio Pucci has a reputation for creating bags that are bold and brassy. This purse may not have the colorful signature print we've come to associate with the designer, but it definitely doesn't lack any personality. The problem for me though is that it just seems a little too big. Gold leather is a statement all [...]
    
33. Hype Agyness N/S Tote | Embossed Leather Vertical Handbag - 2009-05-08 22:31:34-04
    I'll admit that I'm really digging this Hype Agyness Tote. It might not be the most original handbag I've ever seen, but it does have some first-rate qualities that attract me. You can opt for the wider, semi-traditional style for the Agyness drawstring tote. However, it's this N/S vertical shape that stands out to me as more contemporary and unique. It's [...]
    
34. Marni Opens New Boutique in Upper East Side | Rachel Zoe and Vera Wang Among Attendees of Celebration - 2009-05-08 23:03:03-04
    For a designer without any formal training, Consuelo Castiglioni has quite a following. Fans of her increasingly popular label Marni include some of fashion's top names. A few of these famous fans gathered in New York's Upper East Side a few days ago to christen a new addition to the Marni store family. Despite a previous [...]
    
35. Accessorize Naughty But Nice Bag | Nautical Heart Scarf Bag - 2009-05-09 01:25:20-04
    A sprinkling of little hearts adds whimsy to the classic nautical style of this Accessorize Naughty But Nice Bag. The scarf styling is perfect for casual summer style, and this would look cute with a T-shirt and jeans. There are a lot of details vying for attention in this piece. Red lining and contrast stitching accents the [...]
    
36. Emilio Pucci Cancello Nylon Bag | Fabulous Bright Retro Print Carryall - 2009-05-09 01:30:05-04
    Emilio Pucci's abstract geometric prints totally ruled the 1950's. And besides their following of avid loyalists, the prints seem to enjoy a major redux every five years or so. And why not, really? The ubiquity of the Pucci print scarf is so retro-modern it has become postmodern. I know the bright colors and bold shapes aren't [...]
    
37. Kathy Van Zeeland Private Eye Shopper | Patchwork Patent Tote - 2009-05-09 01:43:53-04
    We have all probably, at some point, dreamt of being a detective. Mainly as a kid in a flight of tweed fancy, playing with magnifying glasses, flat caps and imaginary sniffer dogs. My whole childhood was spent in imaginary play, which is perhaps what attracted me to this bag. Its catchy name is the "Private Eye" shopper, [...]
    
38. Giorgio Armani Python Purse | Chic Snakeskin Leather Clutch Bag - 2009-05-09 02:05:16-04
    Giorgio Armani has created a clutch for all occasions with this chic python purse. Mottled snakeskin leather manages to draw the eye without overwhelming an ensemble. It's a classic fabric, but one which still manages to make a statement. The elegant appeal is accentuated by the conservative color palette. There's this beautiful brown version and a [...]
    
39. Louis Vuitton Creates Custom Solar-Powered Trunk | Marc Jacobs Bags Out Suitcases - 2009-05-09 07:42:13-04
    Louis Vuitton is happy to create almost any custom piece, if you've got the cash to splash. Last year Karl Lagerfield bought a custom LV trunk to hold his 20 iPods. And now a Chinese gentleman has commissioned something a little more grandiose, and just a little more strange. The client "wanted to be able to [...]
    
40. Harvey's 4205 Satchel | Brown and Pink Floral Printed Seatbelt Bag - 2009-05-09 14:42:13-04
    There's not a thing about seatbelts that makes me think of spring weather fashion. When they're adorned with a pretty floral print and woven into a satchel, however, I can begin to see the appeal. Despite the fact that Harveys has become an extremely popular handbag brand due to its unique use of material, I haven't [...]
    
41. Valentino Rose Vertigo Leather Shopper | Gorgeous Hot Pink Tote With Sculptural Rose Detail - 2009-05-09 20:59:04-04
    Valentino rules the red carpet. And for good reason. His clothing is timeless, sophisticated, feminine, and the very definition of chic. His accessory line is an extremely worthy accompaniment to his clothing. And this to die for Rose Vertigo Shopper fits right in. There are a lot of florals around this season. Floral print dresses, flower [...]
    
42. Rumors of Olivier Theyskens at Halston Prove False | Former Nina Ricci Creative Director Not Hired - 2009-05-09 21:33:58-04
    Olivier Theyskens can't seem to catch a break right now. After getting booted from the creative director position at Nina Ricci, rumors about him being offered a position at Halston have turned out to be untrue. It seems that Halston has had some other designers in mind for the director spot. The company has reportedly approached Marios Schwab and Narciso Rodriguez, [...]
    
43. Ashley M Guitar Bag | Small Cute Cross Body Musical Instrument Purse - 2009-05-10 02:05:33-04
    We often talk about bags with a rock and roll attitude. Well here's one that really lives up that description from none other than Ashley M. We expect novelty purses in this vein from the designer. The brand specializes in accessories that won't appeal to everyone, but will wow a select few. As a music fan [...]
    
44. Marc Jacobs Amazon Shoulder Bag | Hot New Jungle Inspired Multi-Culti Bag - 2009-05-10 22:38:29-04
    The opposite of minimalism is called maximalism, and this is what it looks like. I'm honestly surprised that this look is coming to us from Marc Jacobs, as his designs are usually a little cleaner and more pared down, but I am delighted nonetheless. I have seen a lot of "ethnic" inspired boho designs lately, [...]
    
45. Be & D Catalina Hobo | Brown Woven Leather Handbag with Ruching - 2009-05-11 00:03:33-04
    Be & D generally has the market cornered on ultra-feminine, luxury designer handbags, in my opinion. The girly ruffles of the chic and expensive Chatterley and Kan Kan purses are proof of that. I suppose that signature style is why I could hardly believe that this brown, somewhat bohemian-looking bag came from Be & D. It's just not [...]
    
46. Betsey Johnson Seeks Diffusion Line | Designer Spreads the Word to Potential Buyers - 2009-05-11 00:40:17-04
    Betsey Johnson is no shrinking violet, and that's probably an understatement. When the spunky and popular designer has something to say, she usually just speaks her thoughts. That's exactly what happened when she decided that company needs to design a diffusion line. When approached by New York Magazine at the DKMS Gala the other evening, Johnson [...]
    
47. B. Makowsky Copenhagen Tote Bag | Contemporary Styled Leather Purse with Patent Trim - 2009-05-11 02:05:37-04
    B. Makowsky delivers another exotically named purse in the Copenhagen. It might not be Paris or Milan, but this fashion-forward handbag holds its own. The traditional tone shape is spiced up with a smattering of polished gold hardware and glossy patent accents. There's a large flap pocket up front, which draws the eye and gives us [...]
    
48. Betsey Johnson Rock Stud-y Wristlet | Gold Detailed Chain Strap Clutch - 2009-05-11 06:59:41-04
    If you're a Betsey Johnson girl, you probably already know it. There's likely some hot pink tulle in your closet, and crazy prints dominate. Betsey is generally love it, leave it, or love it on somebody else. But the Betsey Johnson Rock Stud-y Wristlet is just subtle enough to fit into a variety of wardrobes. Your [...]
    
49. Hobo International Melia Clutch | Minimalist Block Color Purse in Turquise Blue, Yellow, Red, Black & Brown - 2009-05-11 09:52:16-04
    I am glad this bag is so simple. It is nice to know what you are getting and to have no high expectations that are disappointed once the bag is in your possession. Here you have a simple and attractive clutch that does what it says on the bottle: Bright sexy colors, suitable interior pockets, and [...]
