Giuseppe Zanotti handbags are at the high end of fashion handbags, and this wristlet really is one of their poshest purses. The wound flowers with [...]
- Maxx New York Hepburn Satchel | Chocolate Brown Suede Handbag with Gold Hardware - 2009-09-21 19:50:40-04
I'm not sure if this Maxx New York Hepburn handbag is supposed to be channeling Audrey or Katharine. There's not really anything about it that reminds me of either beloved actress and style icon, but I happen to like this satchel either way. Maybe I'm just in the mood for the upcoming season because this suede [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Sasha Shoulder Bag | Edgy Black Leather Handbag With Zippers And Sparrows - 2009-09-21 20:29:37-04
If I don't stop gushing about Marc Jacobs, people are going to start thinking that I'm a spy from the company sent to BagBunch to trump up his stuff. I'm not, I swear, and as evidence, here's a bag by Marc Jacobs that I hate. All that being said, the man is a genius, and [...]
- Lauren Merkin Fall Collection Features Familiar Styles in New Textures and Prints - 2009-09-21 21:19:17-04
I can't really hide my love of Lauren Merkin handbags. This designer, in my opinion, consistently hits the target when it comes to offering women timeless styles with classy and sometimes unexpected features. Lauren Merkin's most recently released collection of purses for the fall perfectly exhibits that statement. There are some familiar faces, new designs, but [...]

This feminine shoulder bag has a classic shape and a few modern twists. The [...]
- Giuseppe Zanotti Wristlet | Edgy Black Leather Purse with Rose Details - 2009-09-22 02:05:09-04
Wristlets tend to be casual affairs, designed to help busy girls keep their cash and credit cards on hand. But Giuseppe proves this style has red carpet potential with this sexy leather purse. Black leather is a strange beast. At one moment it can look timeless and elegant. Add a few more details and it's biker [...]
- Etienne Aigner Rereleases Retro Handbags to Celebrate 60th Anniversary - 2009-09-22 03:05:16-04
Etienne Aigner is celebrating its 60th anniversary with the relaunch of many retro handbags. When the brand began, the company's namesake began making belts from a single shade of burgundy leather. As a young designer, he reasoned that it would be cheaper to work with just one shade. The label branched out from belts to other [...]

North Carolina Panthers fans can show their support with this fun purse from Kathrine Baumann. The helmet-shaped clutch is covered in tiny Swarovski crystals.

The interior is predictably small [...]
- Steve Madden Peace of Mind Hobo | Chevron Patchwork Synthetic Handbag - 2009-09-22 16:08:00-04
Patchwork isn't always a handbag design feature that I love, but the look can be stunning when it's done well. Without a doubt, some of my favorite patchwork leather bags come from designer brand Miu Miu. The price range of Prada's younger sister company isn't for everyone, though. Although Steve Madden's line of handbags certainly can't [...]
- Ranch Long Hair Mink Hobo | Oversized Luxury Fur Purse - 2009-09-22 17:05:14-04
There are some things that are OK in modern society, and some things that aren't. Leather, for the majority of the market, is OK. In a similar vein, eel skin shoes and handbags are acceptable to modern values, whereas fur... fur is not. With so many alternatives for real fur, many of which are just as [...]

- Cole Haan Genevieve Small Carpet Bag | Classic Hand-Woven Leather Handbag - 2009-09-23 16:15:52-04
Cole Haan's line of hand-woven handbags in the Genevieve weave must be one of the brand's biggest sellers since they seem to have a countless number of bag styles with the design. From satchels to wallets, the Genevieve pops up in almost any search for Cole Haan bags. Although the collection is nothing new to me, I [...]

- Judith Leiber Smokey Cut Crystal Embellished Clutch | Radiant Sparkling Clutch For Very Special Occasions - 2009-09-23 17:00:35-04
If you had told me a year ago that I would fall in love with a Judith Leiber bag, I would have laughed right in your face. Not that there's anything wrong with Judith Leiber, it's just that sparkly isn't usually my style. But this version of sparkly definitely is. Maybe because it's dark, or maybe [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Stamped Velvet Clutch | Plush Grey Velvet Clutch With Patent Bow Embellishment - 2009-09-24 01:14:00-04
While Marc Jacobs is definitely one of my favorite designers, lately the Marc by Marc Jacobs line has left me feeling a little cold. Most of the bag designs are good, but they keep crudding them up with a bunch of logos. I know that some people like that sort of thing, I just don't [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Surfer Shopping Bag | Reusable Fabric Handbag with Art Deco Print - 2009-09-24 02:05:14-04
More of us are saying no to paper and plastic and carrying our purchases home in reusable totes. The Jesse B. Collection helps us embrace that eco-friendly trend with this Surfer Shopping Bag.

- Chocolate Wisteria Satchel | Medium Synthetic Basket Weave Bag - 2009-09-24 04:05:24-04
Woven bags seem to be everywhere, and as the cooler weather takes hold this trend shows no signs of slowing down. While lattice bags are almost common these days, a basket weave purse like this Wisteria satchel dares to be different. This is one of those synthetic bags which looks like a synthetic bag. The finish [...]

- Miu Miu Leather Clutch | Sleek And Simple Black Leather Designer Clutch - 2009-09-24 16:55:59-04
Miu Miu makes quirky, off-kilter, but still classic, pieces that appeal to young hipster types and fashionistas around the globe. I'm always amazed at the way they take the trends and make them timeless. Well, this clutch is definitely classic and timeless, but seemingly lacking in Miu Miu's usual flair. This clutch is versatile and would [...]
- Treesje Jovi Cross-Body | Soft Gray Leather Studded Handbag - 2009-09-24 20:59:01-04
The Treesje Jovi Cross-Body bag is a blend of trendy and practical all wrapped up in one soft leather package. It has just the kind of design personality I'd expect from the designer label that has produced equally distinct handbags like the Geneva clutch and the Kingsley hobo. Although in the same bag style category as the Mason [...]

Alexander Wang has proven himself to be the designer to watch with celebrity favorites like the Brenda and Coco. Now with the Betty, he's showing a more sophisticated side.

- Alexis Hudson Bloom Clutch | Patchwork Snake Print Leather Purse with Zipper Flower Details - 2009-09-25 04:05:59-04
This Alexis Hudson clutch is an antidote to all those purses playing it safe. The Bloom is a clutch that believes that too much isn't enough. The shape is simple enough, with its rectangular design and recessed zipper. But that's about the only part of the Bloom which is low key. Curved swatches of snake print [...]

- Whiting & Davis Cross-Body Dance Bag | Shimmery Mesh Zippered Pouch with Optional Straps - 2009-09-25 16:25:52-04
This is one Whiting & Davis handbag that doesn't make me automatically think of a bygone era. Well, that's not entirely true, I suppose, since it does have a certain '70s disco vibe going on with it. However, in comparison to some of the brand's truly vintage-inspired designs, this Cross-Body Dance Bag certainly stands apart. The [...]

It's all about downtown glamour with the Anne Klein New York Greenwich Satchel. It's made from nylon, which is both long-lasting and lightweight.

The silver chain zipper [...]
- British Handbag Designer Paul Smith Creates Evian Water Bottles - 2009-09-26 03:05:49-04
Last year we saw Hermes creative director Jean Paul Gaultier design limited edition water bottles for Evian. Now in 2009 the water bottle giant has enlisted the help of another handbag designer, Paul Smith.

- Big Buddha Sedona Shoulder Bag | Large Synthetic Handbag with Zippers and Woven Details - 2009-09-26 17:51:57-04
Big Buddha is always a brand that comes to mind when I'm looking for an affordable but trendy handbag. There are, of course, many other fashion labels that serve one or both of those needs, but I know I can count on Big Buddha for a cute purse that costs less than $100. You can't really [...]
- Burberry Prorsum Laser-Cut Suede Hobo | High-Tech, Low Maintenance Burgundy Hobo With Cut Outs - 2009-09-26 18:59:44-04
Burberry is a label that, honestly, I sort of thought of as a one-trick pony until a few years ago. Their one trick being the trench, of course. In the past couple years, though, the line has really stepped up their fashion game. And Prorsum has taken it one step further with its own take [...]

The recent Versace Spring/Summer 2010 runway show at Milan Fashion Week gave Justin Timberlake some competition for bringing sexy back. In a collection featuring vibrant colors, bold prints, and super-high miniskirts reminiscent of 1960s mod fashion, Versace's new looks take quite a turn from the edgy, modern fall/winter fashion modeled by Gisele Bundchen. I think the word [...]
- Ashley M Bow Tie Evening Bag | Fun Pink Sequined Party Purse - 2009-09-27 02:05:24-04
Ashley M is one of those rare fashion labels which doesn't take itself too seriously. Its accessories are unashamedly cheap and cheerful, flights of fancy that favor fun over chic styling. That's definitely the case with this bow tie purse. It's not intended to suit a red carpet occasion or night at the theater. It's much [...]
- Bally Vanisina Shoulder Bag | Pebbled Calfskin Leather Satchel - 2009-09-27 16:17:36-04
Though not traditionally seen as a winter fashion color, white has slowly made its way into the range of cool weather accessories. According to trendsetters and fashion magazines, the days of post-Labor Day storage of white shoes and handbags is gone. I, for one, am glad to include white as an established fall and winter [...]

Fendi is one of those lines that creates an IT bag almost every single season. They're style is characterized by a strongly traditional Italian aesthetic with a little extra bling.

- Chloe Polka Dots Bag | Playful Bow Embellished Khaki Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-09-27 22:26:00-04
Chloe is usually one of my tip-top favorite lines. But, lately, I just haven't been blown away from what they have to offer. Maybe I'm missing something, but personally, I think their fall line of accessories is, well, missing something. Bags like this are exactly what I'm talking about. Am I crazy, or does this bag [...]
- Discreet Luxury Goods Favored in Financial Crisis | Harvey Nichols Customers Spend Up on Logo Free Handbags - 2009-09-27 22:36:07-04
Financial crisis? What financial crisis? That's the attitude of Harvey Nichols customers, who are still happy to fork out the big bucks for luxury handbags. A representative from the retail chain's Knightsbridge store said one customer recently parted with £15, 000 for a hand-made alligator leather purse from American designer Lana Marks. The sale of the [...]

The shape [...]

- Baby Phat Mystical Mirror Bag | Large Silver Studded Satchel - 2009-09-28 04:05:13-04
Baby Phat is never a brand that does things by halves. Accessories like this Mystical Mirror bag may be a little ostentatious for many bagistas, but fans of Kimora Lee Simmons' blingtastic label are sure to lap it up. I'm not sure whether you could use this silvery satchel to touch up your cosmetics, but it's [...]
- Chloe Elsie Shoulder Bag | Sophisticated Uptown Metallic Check Shoulder Bag With Chain Straps - 2009-09-28 10:19:00-04
Chloe's fall line has thus far disappointed me. But, perhaps it's due to my own expectations. I don't really associate Chloe with a neutral color palette or uptown styling, but that seems to be what they're up to, lately. This opulent gold take on a classic look is very Blair Waldorf. It isn't even close to [...]
