  1. Celestina Hand-Painted Stingray Clutch | Artful And Exotic Painted Stingray Box Clutch - 2010-04-19 20:16:05-04
    Celestina makes accessories that are equal parts art and fashion. Well, maybe that's not exactly true. Personally, I think they swerve a little to the side of art. But in the most fashionable way possible. This clutch reminds me of an impressionist landscape. The colors are muted but memorable. They are hand-painted on luxurious stingray, and [...]
  2. Miu Miu Cat-Print Satin Clutch | Quirky Cute Printed Satin Evening Bag With Rhinestone Clasp - 2010-04-19 23:31:26-04
    Miu Miu's quirky approach to fashion has made them a staple in the wardrobes of cutting edge fashionistas for decades. I usually swoon for almost everything the line puts out, but honestly, I'm not feeling this bag. There's just something not quite right about it. The cat print on the bag is interesting, but it kind [...]
  3. Helena de Natalio Giselle Clutch | Modern Lilac Chevron Striped Patchwork Purse - 2010-04-20 02:05:04-04
    After swooning over Helena de Natalio's oversized slouchy handbags, I figured it was time to take a look at something smaller and more structured. Meet the Giselle clutch. It may be a very different accessory, but it's no less impressive. It has a really modern look, with chevron stripes of smooth leather contrasting with an exotic [...]

  7. Oryany Handbags Wendy-Ayelen Double-Face Tote | Large Sequined Handbag with Wristlet - 2010-04-20 06:05:50-04
    Oryany Handbags takes a real risk with its Wendy-Ayelen Double-Face Tote. No shrinking violet, this bold bag is covered in thousands of colored sequins.

    We all remember the amazing Alexander Wang Coco duffel from last year. Well, this H2W bowler may well be the affordable alternative that we have all be waiting for. OK, so the Domino bowler isn't exactly the same as its inspiration. The large studs aren't just located to the base - instead, they clamber all over [...]
  9. Jimmy Choo Damian Ponyskin Clutch | Fierce Bohemian Ponyskin Cluth With Leopard Spots And Laces - 2010-04-20 21:00:39-04

    Looking for a purse that's a little louder than your average leopard print purse? Then feast your peepers on this sequined stunner from KC Malhan!

  17. Estrella Archs Steps Down as Ungaro's Creative Director - 2010-04-22 03:05:11-04
    Folks seem to be deserting Ungaro faster than rats from a sinking ship. In the last six months we've already seen Lindsay Lohan lose her artistic director post and Mounir Moufarrige step down as chief executive officer. Now we can add creative director Estrella Archs to the list. The designer, who worked for Ungaro for just [...]
  18. Menbur Lace Bow Clutch | Feminine Retro Evening Purse - 2010-04-22 04:05:45-04
    I might expect to find this Menbur Lace Bow Clutch in Madonna's wardrobe. It's exactly the kind of purse I can imagine the pop star carrying in her younger days. Thanks to the recent '80s revival though, this comes off looking like a trendy clutch rather than a purse caught in a time warp. The pale [...]
  19. Affordable Handbags Help Coach Increase First Quarter Profits - 2010-04-22 05:05:44-04
    Coach's decision to slash handbag prices has paid off. The brand has posted a 37% profit increase for the first quarter of the year. Some might have seen Coach's strategy to cut handbag prices by 12% and price more purses under the $300 mark as a risky one. However, it seems the bargain bags helped to [...]
  20. Serpui Marie Anaconda Woven Clutch | Chic Black Patent Leather Purse - 2010-04-22 06:05:38-04
    Given its name you might imagine this Serpui Marie Anaconda clutch is made from the exotic skin of snake, but instead we find glossy woven patent leather. It's not really serpentine, but there is something vaguely reptilian about the polished black leather. It's accented by thin stripes of contrasting metallic leather, which are woven backwards and [...]
  21. Recycled Rice Bag Sling Purse | Eco-friendly Purse To Help Us Celebrate Earth Day - 2010-04-22 08:11:47-04

  23. Marc Jacobs Imogen Leather Shoulder Bag | Summery Brown Boho Leather Bag With Metallic Fringe - 2010-04-22 18:14:54-04
    As far as I'm concerned, Marc Jacobs is to America what Coco Chanel was to Paris: the designer that epitomizes that nation's style. But, like the French, sometimes we Americans aren't always on point. I think this bag is a good example of American boho style gone awry. The basics of this bag are solid. I [...]
  24. Marc by Marc Jacobs Derby Studded Leather Bag | Small Rocker Chic Black Leather Bag With Stud And Grommet Details - 2010-04-22 23:35:35-04
    Marc by Marc Jacobs dominates the young hipster demographic with his edgy, irreverent designs, and this studded derby bag is no exception. It's sure to spawn knockoffs from Macy's to Target and everywhere in between. The genius of this little bag is that is combines badass rocker details with a petite, demure shape. The balance is [...]
  25. Moonsus Elixir Satchel | Classic Burgundy Patent Leather Bag - 2010-04-23 02:05:08-04
    After seeing one too many glitzy patent leather purses, I'm digging the simplicity of this Moonsus Elixir Satchel. This is the kind of bag which many could accuse of being boring, but the restraint shown here is refreshing. While patent leather can often appear gaudy, this unadorned surface has the timeless elegance of a pair of [...]
  26. China's Love of Luxury Labels Louis Vuitton and Gucci Grows - 2010-04-23 03:05:42-04
    It seems the Chinese can't get enough of luxury fashion items. China now has the second luxury market in the world, behind the United States, but the sector is growing by 15% each year. Not even high luxury taxes and increased prices due to piracy can stem the increasing demand. Shoppers are spending up big in [...]
  27. Mellow World Trapunto Satchel | Stunning Swirling Stitched Faux Leather Handbag - 2010-04-23 04:05:38-04
    When it comes to Mellow World, I never know quite what we're going to get. This Trapunto Satchel is another unexpected accessory from this always surprising budget line. Swirling Trapunto stitch isn't an embellishment we see a lot of, and I think that makes us appreciate its presence when it is used. This isn't the best [...]
  28. Yves Andrieux and Vincent Jalbert Recycle Military Canvas for Handbags and More - 2010-04-23 05:05:17-04
    Making style statements, not war, is the philosophy of Parisian designers Yves Andrieux and Vincent Jalbert. The duo turns canvas military goods into sophisticated fashion items and home accessories. "I love the material," Jalbert says of the recycled canvas. "It's beautiful, and it's impossible to find this quality with anything else." With his partner, Jalbert uses canvas [...]

Add some bold color combinations and you've got a purse that easily marries both quality and style. The design [...]
  30. Straw Studios Double Handle Purse | Picnic Friendly Basket Bag - 2010-04-23 12:13:52-04
    Have you have your first BBQ of the year yet? Have you had your first picnic? If not then this Straw Studios basket bag may be the thing to convince you that summer really is worthy of outdoorsy celebration. There is nothing quite like packing yourself a sandwich and maybe a bottle of wine and heading [...]
  31. J. Renee Ora Clutch | Pearl Abstract Evening Bag - 2010-04-23 17:30:35-04
    We are getting used to seeing beautiful and unusual clutches from luxury but not over-priced designer J. Renee. The Ora clutch is yet another purse that looks great and stands out from the crowd. When I say that J. Renee isn't over-priced, I essentially mean that they could charge more. This purse, for example, does still cost [...]
  32. Alexia Hollinger Turns Vintage Silk Scarves Into Feminine Handbags - 2010-04-24 03:05:14-04
    Parisian designer Alexia Hollinger has turned her love of silk scarves into a flourishing handbag business. Purses made from vintage scarves are her trademark. The silk fabrics give the bags a soft, feminine feel and vintage sensibility. While Alexia's Parisian boutique has many of these luxurious totes and bags, she's also happy to create custom purses [...]
  33. Quirky South Korean Recycled Suit Tote Made From Real Men's Suit - 2010-04-24 05:05:04-04
    Quirky Los Angeles based design house Poketo has released this kooky Recycled Suit Tote. It's the work of South Korean label Eco Party Mearry, and it has just the kind of wacky vibe I'd expect from an Asian creation. This limited edition handbag is no trompe l'oeil; this tote is actually made from a recycled men's [...]
  34. Jessica McClintock Confetti Clutch | Multicolored Ruffled Frilled Purse - 2010-04-24 15:36:31-04
    For a touch of feminine evening glamor this Jessica McClintock clutch is just the ticket! The Confetti purse combines a pink, blue and brown patterned confetti-like fabric with layers of frills and ruffles. It isn't subtle, that's for sure, but it does channel a springlike sunny vibe, reminding me of flowers and blossom and evening receptions.  For girls [...]
  35. Guess Leilani Crocodile Satchel | Traditional Vintage-Inspired Handbag - 2010-04-24 18:03:58-04
    If you want classic good looks and flawless timeless design, then this pricey Guess satchel will take your breath away. Simply put, this crocodile leather handbag is stunning. It could easily being a meticulously crafted piece of leather work from the vintage days of yore, were it not for the fact that every tiny component in [...]
  36. Marc by Marc Jacobs Lila Quilted Denim Bag | Fresh Casual Denim Hobo With Guitar Shoulder Strap - 2010-04-24 21:41:04-04
    Marc Jacobs is the designer king of fresh American style. His pieces define what urban fashionistas covet. I am usually his biggest fan ever, but this season isn't really rocking my socks off. The Lila bag is a good example of why I'm not feeling super enthused about Marc Jacobs right now. Like the Imogen fringed [...]
  37. American West City Girl Tote | Traditional Zip Top Black Pebbled Leather Day Bag - 2010-04-24 22:39:12-04
    American West takes a departure from its signature tooled leather handbags to create this City Girl tote. The ornate tooling we've come to expect is replaced with traditional pebbled leather. The black skin is contrasted with white stitching and shiny silver hardware. The gentle slouch of this soft leather gives the City Girl a relaxed feel, [...]
  38. CC Skye Turner Hobo | Chic Sophisticated Leather Python Embossed Handbag - 2010-04-24 23:38:10-04
    CC Skye brings a sense of sophisticated style to the humble hobo bag with the Turner. The Turner has the slouchy silhouette we expect to see, but the flat base and elegant pleats give it more structure and style than the average. For an added dose of sophistication, choose the Turner in python embossed leather. Unlike [...]
  39. Judith Leiber Streamline Frosted Lucite Clutch | Fabulous Deco Look Clutch With Crystal Detail - 2010-04-25 01:50:29-04
    I really want to apologize for all the harsh criticism I have levied at Judith Leiber in the past. All those bedazzled animal clutches really aren't my thing, but she does what she does well. Not only that, she has also began to branch out into other clutch arenas, and the results are fabulous. The Streamline [...]
  40. Coccinelle Stivie Ricamo Clutch | Modern Zig-Zag Stitched Leather Clutch - 2010-04-25 02:05:50-04
    Coccinelle takes the clutch from the red carpet to the city streets with this bold Stivie Ricamo clutch. Rather than following the trends, the label creates a new one with its whimsically stitched body. Playful curlicues of zig zag stitching sprawl out to create a new, fun look which will last long after the current fads. [...]
  41. Ella Vickers Makes Eco-Friendly Nautical Bags from Yacht Sails - 2010-04-25 03:05:31-04
    Nautical bags are all the rage this season, but few have the authentic maritime air of the Ella Vickers handbags. Her coastal bags are actually made from reclaimed yacht sails! The use of the recycled fabric is more than just a gimmick. The marine-grade canvas won't fade in the sunlight, or grow mold and mildew. It's [...]
  42. Bally Alexya Pochette Purse | Luxury Quilted Satin Clutch - 2010-04-25 18:04:42-04
    Nothing say luxury quite like a quilted handbag! Of course, nothing says luxury quite like a Bally handbag either, so the match of quilting and brand name is probably one made in heaven. Add rich luxurious satin into the mix and the Alexya has probably hit all of the nails on the head for posh and expensive! However, [...]
  43. Anya Hindmarch Cornelia Two-Tone Leather Bag | Preppy Uptown Chic Black And White Leather Shoulder Bag With Chain Straps - 2010-04-25 18:53:50-04
    Anya Hindmarch has a lot going on for a new designer. Her aesthetic runs the gamut from uptown to downtown to something in between. The Cornelia is about as preppy and traditional as handbags come without being navy blue. The black and white colorblocking adds interest to this otherwise traditional rectangular style, and the chain and [...]
  44. Erin Fetherston Guest Designs for Juicy Couture - 2010-04-25 20:56:45-04
    Juicy Couture will get some fresh creative blood next month when Californian-born talent Erin Fetherston temporarily joins the label. She'll start her tenure as guest designer and creative consultant on May 1. Juicy Couture will benefit from Fetherston's services until the end of 2011. That should be plenty of time for the designer to leave her [...]
  45. Marc Jacobs Tasseled Leather Clutch | Chic and Cheeky White Leather Clutch With Tassels - 2010-04-25 22:00:58-04
    Marc Jacobs accessories have been such a disappointment to me lately that I hesitate to review another one for fear of repeating myself. But while I don't have entirely negative things to say about this tasseled clutch, I do have mixed feelings about it. There's something really quirky and appealing about preppy eyelet-punched leather being covered [...]
  46. Tusk Orissa Hobo | Elegant Pearlized Ivory Leather Purse - 2010-04-26 00:57:13-04
    Tusk dresses up the traditional hobo bag with this elegant Orissa purse. The soft leather slouches as any hobo might, but the tiny vertical seams ensure it doesn't look too slovenly. The structured body is matched by a shape which is more bucket than crescent. It all helps to create an image which is classic and [...]
  47. Tory Burch Linden Studded Leather Shoulder Bag | Timeless Tan Leather Shoulder Bag With Edgy Stud Detail - 2010-04-26 01:00:07-04
    Tory Burch is a designer that I had almost completely written off until recently. Honestly, most of her designs looked the same to me, but lately she's been putting an urban spin on her traditionalism, and I absolutely love it. This Linden shoulder bag is exactly in that vein. The classic satchel style looks fabulous in [...]
  48. Jesselli Couture Croc-Embossed Clutch | Affordable Classic Exotic Embossed Leather Purse - 2010-04-26 02:05:14-04
    Jesselli Couture offers us a classic croc purse for less with this Croc-Embossed clutch. That's right, this Jesselli Couture purse isn't authentic crocodile at all, but a rather convincing imitation. Personally I feel when the embossing is this good, a stamped leather purse is just as eye-catching, although exotic lovers may disagree. Jesselli Couture allows the textured [...]
  49. New Label Plaid Doctrine Makes Eco-Friendly Vintage Work Bags - 2010-04-26 03:05:48-04
    Former Microsoft employee Susanne Park has stepped away from the computers to launch her eco-friendly office handbag line Plaid Doctrine. Plaid Doctrine bags are crafted from an innovative water and stain-resistant fabric made from recycled bottles. This material is then accented with authentic vegetable-tanned leathers. Vegans might turn their noses up at the use of genuine [...]
  50. Helena de Natalio Brandi Bag | Retro 80s Patchwork Convertible Clutch Purse - 2010-04-26 04:05:32-04
    As you look around the modern world, it's often hard to remember that it's 2010. After all, Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, and Huey Lewis and the News are touring the world, big shoulder pads are back in vogue, and purses like the Brandi from Helena de Natalio are all the rage! This purse channels the [...]
  51. Parabellum Releases Men's Accessories Made from Bison Hide - 2010-04-26 05:05:25-04
    Los Angeles label Parabellum has launched its premiere collection of men's accessories. The range uses military-grade ceramics, 15-year-old American bison skin, DuPont Kevlar, and soft lambskin for the "the perfect union between luxury and utilitarianism." Parabellum shows great respect for the buffalo, which it sources from reservation style ranches. Here the animals are free to live [...]
  52. J. Tiras Audrey Clutch | Sophisticated Satin Bow Evening Purse - 2010-04-26 06:05:44-04
    J. Tiras was clearly inspired by Ms Hepburn when it designed the Audrey clutch. Just like its Hollywood namesake, this is a purse that combines elegant style and trendsetting design. It's a hard balance to achieve, but one that J. Tiras makes look easy, as Hepburn herself did. Just like any Hepburn ensemble, J. Tiras pairs [...]
  53. How To Wear the H2W Domino Bowler | Fashion Suggestions For Combining Studs and Chiffon - 2010-04-26 07:12:18-04

  54. Kate Spade El Morocco Paola Clutch | Sequined Designer Evening Bag - 2010-04-26 07:52:27-04
    Kate Spade gets all glitzy with this sequined El Morocco clutch. My first thought when I saw this glamorous handbag was just how different this is from the rest of the handbags Kate Spade designs. She usually opts for classic styling and retro design, with strong influence from the 50s and 60s. This purse, however, is more [...]
