- Chocolate Larkspur Rose Tote | Spacious Folded Origami Hold-all - 2009-09-14 14:11:57-04
If you are looking for a classic look with a modern origami handbag twist, Chocolate may have produced a pretty and surprisingly affordable option. This folded tote isn't cheap as chips, but it only costs $131 and looks pretty high end. The fashionable origami shape is a particular favorite of mine, and tends to look similar whether [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Three Pocket Clutch | Sleek On-Trend Designer Clutch In Of-The-Moment Shades of Grey - 2009-09-14 16:41:38-04
Anya Hindmarch is a relative newcomer on the design front, but she has quickly developed an A-list following. Her fashion-forward contemporary classics are the kind of accessories that look fabulous long after the season passes. This Three Pocket clutch is one of the most fabulous finds of the fall season. The combination of grey leathers creates [...]
- Jessica Simpson Jimmy Satchel | Patchwork Faux Croc Handbag - 2009-09-14 20:30:19-04
Jessica Simpson is sometimes hit or miss with me. There aren't many of the brand's styles that I absolutely detest, but I'm not always in love with them either. This Jimmy satchel takes a turn for the better as far as my opinion goes. Yet again, you can't expect anything even remotely close to real croc leather [...]
- Jimmy Choo and ELLE Collaborate for Fashion Week | Get a Project PEP Bag Before They Hit Stores - 2009-09-14 20:58:06-04
Earlier this summer, we learned about Jimmy Choo's decision to team up with the Sir Elton John AIDS Foundation for a capsule collection of flip-flops and handbags. The collaboration, which will benefit the Project PEP initiative, are still several months away from being in the hands of thoughtful shoppers...or at least we thought. For the currently [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Naplak Nero Handbag | Luxurious Black Patent Leather Tote Bag - 2009-09-15 02:05:27-04
If ever there was a must-have accessory, it's a black leather tote. Like the little black dress, this versatile wardrobe staple never goes out of style. Giuseppe Zanotti's answer is this Naplak Nero handbag. The traditional boxy tote shape is glammed up with polished patent leather and modern ruching. Giuseppe Zanotti lets these details shine by [...]
- Global Elements Beaded Flower Tote Bag | Fun Carryall with Leaf Pattern - 2009-09-15 04:05:06-04
When it comes to Global Elements, you never know quite what you're going to get. The label loves to frock up, but it can just as easily keep things casual with bags like this cute Beaded Flower Tote. While its name suggests springtime blooms, there's just one beaded flower on the bag. Instead, the design is [...]
- Goldenbleu Christi Clutch | Cute Purse in Patent and Matt Diamonds - 2009-09-15 17:09:02-04
Coin purses have always been popular with those who like cute bags that come in tiny sizes. The traditional kiss-lock closure and slouchy thus spacious shape make them an attractive design with a healthy dose of functionality. This over-sized version from Goldenbleu acts as a clutch, yet with all the sweet features of our old coin [...]
- Valentino Leopard Print Goat Hair Bag | Fierce And Luxurious Animal Print Hobo - 2009-09-15 19:21:26-04
When Valentino himself retired from designing his eponymous line, I was a little concerned. Who, after all, can replace an icon? The current designers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, however worked under the man himself designing accessories, and their designs haven't disrupted the continuity of his legacy, at least in terms of accessories. This [...]
- Whiting & Davis Art Nouveau Hobo | Colorful Floral Printed Brass Mesh Bag - 2009-09-15 21:27:07-04
I usually think of Whiting & Davis as a go-to brand for classy formal clutches and minaudieres, and they certainly have their fair share of shimmery bags that fit those categories. However, this long-standing fashion brand also has a wonderful selection of hobo bags that simply refuse to be overlooked. Just like their other clutches, wristlets, [...]
- Be&D Cosette Handbag Seen on "Gossip Girl" Episode | Joanna Garcia and Blake Lively Sport Pricey Hobo - 2009-09-15 21:57:55-04
I'm no longer surprised to hear designer label spottings on the CW's fashionable and racy teen drama Gossip Girl. The show is practically one big runway of designer handbags, clothes, and shoes. I'm not complaining one bit, though, and I can't imagine any of the labels having something negative to say about it either. Although I'm [...]
- Jimmy Choo Prepares to Release Affordable H&M Men's Line - 2009-09-15 23:46:18-04
Tamara Mellon hasn't forgotten about fashion conscious men when creating Jimmy Choo's new collection for H&M. The men's collection features a great selection of man bags, including suede duffel bags, leather travel bags, and stamped leather wallets. There are also t-shirts and blazers, and additional accessories such as boots and studded belts. "We are privileged to be [...]
- Halston Nightscatter XL City Tote | Large Urban Print Leather Purse - 2009-09-16 02:19:46-04
Halston rarely puts a foot wrong, but this Nightscatter City Tote may have been a fashion misstep. The patterns are simply too much. The black and white urban print clashes with the colored tie-dye accents, but not in a good way. Both patterns are loud and obnoxious, and pairing them amplifies the effect of both. You'd [...]
- Icelandic Label Unnurwear Makes Handbags from Fishy Sea Leather - 2009-09-16 03:05:23-04
If you're searching for a handbag that's a little out of the ordinary, consider the chic purses from Icelandic label Unnurwear. The styling shows European sophistication, but the finish is something a little different. Unnur means "the waves of the ocean" in Icelandic, so it's not surprising to hear the brand's accessories are crafted from sea-leather. [...]
- Harajuku Lovers Magic Overnighter Bag | Fun Large Sketched Travel Handbag - 2009-09-16 04:05:23-04
Is Gwen Stefani's line Harajuku Lovers growing up? While it may not say high-end fashion just yet, its new Magic Overnighter bag looks more mature than the designs we've seen in the past. Cartoon pandas and cutesy Harajuku girls are passed over for this edgy sketched design. The attitude-filled print shows Gwen and her crew in [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Magazine Clutch | Sleek Foldover Leather Clutch With Embossed Logos - 2009-09-16 13:14:02-04
Marc by Marc Jacobs has a way of bringing style-setting trends into relative affordability. Sometimes, though, he simply brings his own past successes back into the forefront, by reinvigorating them for new seasons. This clutch, for example, looks a whole lot like the iconic Dr. Q Magazine Clutch that fashionistas across the globe went crazy [...]
- Botkier Uma Satchel | Soft Leather Handbag with Ruching Detail - 2009-09-16 16:27:56-04
I'm all about handbags with interesting details, and Botkier sure loves to produce them. This brand seems to enjoy including as many buckles, zippers, studs, and other features as possible without taking their styles to a tacky, overdesigned place. Some might consider this Uma satchel from Botkier a little overdone, but I happen to like what [...]
- Preview Chanel's Fall/Winter 2009 Collection of Handbags | Exotics and Tweeds Galore - 2009-09-16 23:36:45-04
When you think luxury handbags, Chanel is bound to be one of the brands that pops into mind. The fashion label is synonymous with timeless, must-have purses. Although there are a few signature chain link straps to be seen here, a few of the detail might surprise Chanel lovers. Overall, though, the theme of cooler weather and winter [...]
- Jessica Jensen Patience Tote | Beaded Rose Pink Leather Carryall Bag - 2009-09-17 02:05:49-04
Jessica Jensen has given a lift to the traditional tote with the Patience. The geometric, flared shape is classic tote, designed for sophistication and everyday elegance. But Jessica Jensen couldn't let this bag blend into the background, so she's added rows and rows of tiny wooden beads to the front panel. From a distance I love [...]
- New HealthyStuff Website Warns of Toxic Materials in Popular Handbags - 2009-09-17 03:05:57-04
The Center for Environmental Health has long warned us of the dangerous levels of lead and other toxins in our handbags. Now the non-profit group has joined forces with other environmental groups to launch a website which explains whether the accessories we covet are safe. Healthystuff.org details test results for more than 5000 products, including the [...]
- Kathrine Baumann Hexagon Shaped Evening Bag | Medium Jet Floral Jeweled Purse with Metal Strap - 2009-09-17 04:05:31-04
Kathrine Baumann is famous for her beautiful, yet entirely impractical, minaudieres. But the designer shows she can craft a usable accessory with this gorgeous evening bag. At first glance it doesn't look too different from those minaudieres. The body is still studded with Swarovski crystals, creating a floral pattern which is just as dramatic as the [...]
- Buxton Heiress Organizer Clutch | Wallet, Coin-Purse And Organizer All In One - 2009-09-17 14:10:35-04
At first glance, this Buxton Heiress organizer clutch looks like a simple wallet style clutch in a range of pretty colors. Look inside and on the back, however, and you can see just where this "organizer" clutch gets its name. Everything about this purse aims to make you organized. Your coins are held in a conjoined [...]
- Harajuku Lovers Poppin Satchel | Practical Fabric Bag in Whimsical Print - 2009-09-17 16:37:04-04
Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers brand certainly has a look quite unlike others. These Tokyo-inspired designs seem to reflect the celebrity's offbeat personality and music a little more than her slightly more grown-up L.A.M.B. brand. Quite frankly, I'm not a huge fan of the whimsical, often juvenile prints that Harajuku Lovers favors for their handbags. However, the [...]
- Jeweler Aaron Basha's Daughter Launches Handbag Line | Regine Basha's 2ENLIGHT10 Collection Revealed at Fashion's Night Out - 2009-09-17 18:21:49-04
Aaron Basha, whose infamous line of whimsical jewelry is known mostly for baby shoes and ladybug charms, has evidently passed down some of his whimsical designing personality to his daughter Regine. Regine Basha's recently launched handbag line, 2ENLIGHT10 (read: "to enlighten"), reveals a unique design sensibility similar to her father's. There might not be any ladybugs on these bags, [...]
- Kenneth Jay Lane Ali Shoulder Bag | Crocodile Embossed Leather Bag with Jewel Encrusted Alligator - 2009-09-18 02:05:56-04
According to Kenneth Jay Lane, kitsch never went out of style. Many would disagree with the design house, but if you don't the Ali may be the shoulder bag you're searching for. The $290 price tag doesn't buy you authentic crocodile, but it does buy genuine leather. Kenneth Jay Lane gives the calfskin an exotic appeal [...]
- Fashion Journalist Anne-Celine Jaeger Dishes Industry Dirt in New Book - 2009-09-18 03:05:03-04
Fashion writer Anne-Celine Jaeger is spilling the beans on the industry in her brand new book, Fashion Makers, Fashion Shapers: The Essential Guide to Fashion by Those in the Know. Wordy title aside, this is a sequel of sorts to Image Makers, Image Takers. While the first focused on photography, including within the fashion industry, this [...]
- Lodis Haley Starlet Clutch | Glamorous Gold Leather Evening Purse - 2009-09-18 04:05:01-04
You'll feel red carpet ready carrying this sexy Haley Starlet clutch from Lodis. Metallic gold panels are complemented by an elegant metal frame. The finish is subtly embossed with snakeskin for an extra dose of glam. The slim-lined design is chic and simple, perfect for ensuring it doesn't upstage that fabulous gown! The frame closes with a [...]
- Sondra Roberts Cylindrical Clutch | Bling Sequined and Rhinstoned Purse - 2009-09-18 13:49:58-04
Go totally bling for the coming party season with this incredibly glittery clutch from fun designer Sondra Roberts. It is fair to say that subtlety isn't this purse's strong point. After all, you only need to walk into a well lit room to dazzle and potentially blind your fellow guests with the layered gold sequined interior [...]
- 1920's Inspired Beaded Bags | Classic Vintage Art Deco Purses - 2009-09-18 14:47:50-04
This is the first in a series of articles introducing you to the vintages styles of different eras, and showing you some of the best vintage inspired handbags on the market. To begin with, the brilliant era of life-changing politics and dramatic prohibition that produced flapper girls - the fabulous 1920's. The 1920's, especially from 1925 [...]
- Hobo International Rendita Tote | Practical and Stylish Laptop Bag - 2009-09-18 18:58:14-04
This Hobo International Rendita tote is all business with tons of practical features. Don't count it among the practical but plain work bags, though. The Rendita has plenty of style going for it. Even though the shape is fairly normal and even a little plain as far as these types of bags go, the simple and [...]
- Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2010 Handbags Hit the Runway at New York Fashion Week | Collection Includes Plenty of Prints and Textures - 2009-09-18 20:32:04-04
Tory Burch is one of those tried-and-true designers that hardly ever disappoints me and somehow manages to pull off unique looks with each collection. The way that her bags turn out timeless but trendy sometimes baffles me, but the designer certainly does it time and time again, in my opinion. I am sure there will be plenty of critics who have [...]
- Emilio Pucci Python Shoulder Bag | Exotic Ivory Snakeskin Bag With Trendy Gold Chain Strap - 2009-09-18 21:19:22-04
I'm really excited about the way Pucci is branching away from their trademark prints. Don't get me wrong, I think Pucci prints are bright, bold, and fabulous, but they are a little loud, so it can be hard to accessorize with them on an everyday basis. But not this baby, it'll go with anything and everything. [...]
- Ralph Lauren Houndstooth Hobo Bag | Camel Colored Fabric Everyday Handbag - 2009-09-19 02:05:42-04
Ralph Lauren combines casual cool and British charm to create this chic Houndstooth Hobo. The fabric finish gives this bag a relaxed style, but it's a little different to the boho vibe we associate with hobos. The shape's a lot more structured, and that houndstooth print creates a preppy private school feel. The brown checks are [...]
- Canvas Charity Bags Raise Funds for Vietnamese Orphans During London Design Week - 2009-09-19 03:05:17-04
The Kianh Foundation has teamed up with ten up-and-coming British designers for a unique charity initiative. Participating artisans include Gemma Johnson, Tamara Fogle, and Charlotte Law of The Modern Fold. The designers have created one-of-a-kind handbags, which will be auctioned off during London Design Week. Funds raised will help disabled and disadvantaged children in Vietnam's Hoi [...]
- Inge Christopher Milan Clutch | Elegant Crystal Detailed Frame Purse - 2009-09-19 18:54:32-04
A simple and understatedly elegant clutch, this Inge Christopher purse is a great option to look good for many seasons to come. This cool gray color has been springing up all over the place. Not bold enough to fit in fully with this seasons vibrant purple handbags or bright acid green tones, the gray instead is one of [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Loopy Bow Pouchette | Fun And Fabulous Purple Velvet Shoulder Bag With Bows Everywhere - 2009-09-19 19:24:25-04
Marc Jacobs, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. completely infamous grunge show for Perry Ellis in the 90's 2. the infinitely affordable Marc by Marc line 3. the tattoo on your arm that says "shameless". In the immortal words of Rachel Zoe, "the man is an !#@ing genius, what can [...]
- Stuart Weitzman ZipCalico Tote | Haircalf and Suede Western Handbag - 2009-09-19 21:50:24-04
I was on the fence about putting my seal of approval on B. Makowsky's haircalf and leather combo Canterbury Tote, which puts this Stuart Weitzman ZipCalico handbag in a shaky place as far as my recommendation goes. One thing is for sure about the ZipCalico. You can't accuse it of being inauthentic. If the Canterbury's animal print haircalf caused hesitation, [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Kennedy Clutch | Sophisticated Simple Green Purse with Snowflake Pin - 2009-09-20 02:05:31-04
It's fitting that this simply chic clutch from The Jesse B. Collection is called the Kennedy. It's exactly the kind of purse I can imagine retro style icon Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis carrying! The Jesse B. Collection figures when you're onto a good thing, you should stick to it. The brand's clutches all have the same vintage frame [...]
- Victorinox Swiss Army Celebrates 125 Years with Luxury Leather Travel Bag - 2009-09-20 03:05:22-04
Victorinox Swiss Army is a name more associated with boy scouts than bagistas, but with its 125th anniversary the label is proving is knows about much more than knives. As part of the milestone, the brand has released a swag of new products including this lush limited edition travel bag. The handbag "reflect[s] the old-world luxury [...]
- Prada Signature Nappa Tote | Simple Yet Luxurious Leather Hold-all - 2009-09-20 13:17:40-04
Prada try again for extreme luxury with their signature tote in a delicate and softly luxurious nappa calf leather.

The true "investment" bag, black is always in fashion and the shape is always useful - and we [...]
- Treesje Kingsley Mini Hobo | Slouchy Ruched Designer Handbag - 2009-09-20 15:30:27-04
The design of the Treesje Kingsley hobo shares quite a few similarities with the trendy features of the Botkier Uma satchel with its slouchy ruched body and zippered detail. Actually, the two designer brands really aren't that far apart in their overall styles. The main difference between the Uma and this Treesje handbag is the size. [...]
- Isaac Mizrahi Debuts Spring 2010 Collection on the Runway | Retro-Inspired Structured Handbags in Neutrals Included - 2009-09-20 17:16:42-04
Isaac Mizrahi's show at the recent New York Fashion Week was quite a production. The designer with a personality as fun and crazy as his schedule brought a little of his quirkiness to the runway. Mizrahi's new styles floated and flounced down the catwalk through an elaborate set involving two sets of stairs, a platform, and even a [...]
- Chocolate Brianna Shoulder Bag | Affordable Synthetic Handbag with Diamond Design - 2009-09-21 02:05:31-04
This Brianna bag from Chocolate is an affordable way to embrace this season's taste for textures. Diamond quilting has a way of making any bag seem richer. So while the Brianna is made from affordable synthetic, it doesn't look cheap. The diamonds are crafted from tiny pleats, which give the bag volume and depth. I'm not [...]
- Aircraft Inspired Metal Von Avi Handbags from New Zealand Get Fashion Week Launch - 2009-09-21 03:05:33-04
Von Avi bags take the metallic craze to new heights. The brainchild of New Zealand couple Kaz and Greg Von Heraud Parker, the innovative handbag line is crafted from aluminum and aircraft rivets. Mr. Von Heraud Parker, a former aircraft worker, uses the same skills to create the bags that he did building airplane wings. "It's all [...]
- Elaine Turner Madison Pouchette | Small Shoulder Bag with Embossed Tortoise Finish - 2009-09-21 04:05:58-04
Why should snake and crocodile get all the accolades? Elaine Turner serves up a different kind of exotic with its Madison Pouchette. Of course, Elaine Turner doesn't dabble in genuine exotics. Instead it's merely embossed the leather with a tortoise-shell finish. The scales are large and irregular, giving the purse a contemporary finish. Under the hands [...]
