- Whiting & Davis Crystal Clutch | Metal Mesh Chevron Cross-Body - 2010-05-17 18:20:25-04
Whiting & Davis have been becoming gradually more well-known for their stylish yet modern purses and creative clutches. The crystal chevron clutch here, however, shows that you can go back to your roots and still look darn gorgeous with it. What we see here is an evening bag very similarto the pouch-like mesh handbags that Whiting [...]
- Jimmy Choo Caro Leather Shoulder Bag | Sleek And Petite Black Leather Shoulder Bag With Chain Strap - 2010-05-17 18:21:59-04
Jimmy Choo makes chic handbags for women with refined taste. Urban fashionistas like me love his trademark sophisticated style, especially when he adds that extra little kick. The Caro is a great example of Choo's ability to blend uptown and downtown styles with panache. This little shoulder bag packs a wallop in terms of style. While [...]
- Jimmy Choo Sky Studded Suede Bag | Stylish Grey Hobo With Stud Detail - 2010-05-17 23:00:55-04
Jimmy Choo has been adding a lot of downtown flavor to his line this season, and I, for one, am loving it. There's nothing like a seriously beautiful bag with a little attitude to take your wardrobe to the next level, and the Sky hobo may just be that bag. While the Sky has a lot [...]
- Coloriffics Satin Bow Clutch | Affordable Chic Knotted Evening Purse - 2010-05-17 23:39:25-04
This Coloriffics Satin Bow Clutch has such as sophisticated style, it's hard to believe it costs a mere 36! I'd certainly have paid more for such a versatile evening purse. It's timeless without being boring, with an elegant knot accent laid over the soft satin body. Coloriffics calls this feature a bow, but it's a much [...]
- Cynthia Vincent Berkeley Large Tote | Oversized Croc Embossed Leather Carryall Bag - 2010-05-18 02:05:35-04
When too much space is never enough, consider carrying this large Berkeley tote from Cynthia Vincent. The first thing you notice about this handbag is its sheer size. This isn't a bag to be ignored; it's almost large enough to carry everything you need and the kitchen sink. Such a generous space could easily become ungainly, [...]
- Coach and Target Settle Copyright Infringement Court Case - 2010-05-18 03:05:21-04
It's taken seven months, but Coach and Target have finally settled their court battle over copyright infringement. Coach claimed that Target sold bags resembling its Ergo and Signature Patchwork designs. In a statement Coach said that all parties "have amicably resolved the recent lawsuit." The terms of that resolution are confidential. "We respect the integrity of all [...]
- Dan W Woven Lamb Clutch | Affordable White Sheepskin Leather Purse - 2010-05-18 04:05:44-04
Dan W offers an affordable alternative to the Bottega Venetas of the world with this woven lamb clutch. Rather than using the traditional wicker weave of the luxury Italian fashion house, Dan W opts for a more open finish. Horizontal strips of white lambskin are interwoven with vertical ribbons of the same lush leather. The effect [...]
- Rising Tide Fair Trade Bags Give Back to Indian Communities and Female-Focused Charities - 2010-05-18 05:05:21-04
Rising Tide Fair Trade is an exotic handbag label which puts people first. Designers Virginia Dooley and Nicole Jones' work with artisans in Bengal, India to create their collection of Eastern inspired weekender bags, totes, hobos, and other accessories. Rising Tide Fair Trade workers turn the embroidered Kantha fabric of old saris into eye-catching accessories. The [...]
- Diesel Beach Bum Palm Tote | Blue Striped PVC Summer Bag - 2010-05-18 06:05:45-04
Diesel helps you get ready for summer with this Beach Bum Palm Tote. The nautical blue and white striped canvas body is given a modern feel with a bold graphic print. I'm not sure what I make of this cheeky blue-faced character, but I'm sure someone will love its original style. There's no getting around it; the [...]
- Mar Y Sol Chelsea Clutch | Casual Plaited Straw Purse - 2010-05-18 08:35:29-04
I have been searching for a casual straw clutch that doesn't go the route of employing a leather-esque trim for a few months now, and this Mar Y Sol clutch from Mad Imports is the closest candidate I have come across so far. While most clutches try a formal and structured approach to straw, the affordable Chelsea [...]
- Dolce & Gabbana Mindy Satchel | Quirky Medium Goatskin Wallet Pocket Handbag - 2010-05-19 02:05:06-04
The Mindy from Dolce & Gabbana may be one of the cleverest satchels on the market, or the most ridiculous. As with so many bags that push the fashion envelope, it's kind of hard to tell! Rather than equip the Mindy with traditional pockets, Dolce & Gabbana has opted for a trio of cascading wallets. These [...]
- David Lynch Directs "Lady Blue Shanghai" for Christian Dior Starring Marion Cotillard - 2010-05-19 03:05:04-04
Christian Dior has released Lady Blue Shanghai, the latest short film to promote its Lady Dior line. Acclaimed auteur David Lynch directed the 16-minute advertisement, which stars the face of Lady Dior Marion Cotillard. The movie begins with Marion discovering the purse of her dreams, naturally a Lady Dior. She then returns to her hotel room, [...]
- Donald J Pliner Adela Satchel | Leopard Print Chain Handle Suede Handbag - 2010-05-19 04:05:35-04
I've always admired the sophisticated and gently quirky handbags of Donald J Pliner, so the Adela feels like a bit of a misstep for the brand. The problem here is that there's so much going on, and none of it's very interesting. It seems the designer has wanted to hit every trend, and has gone overboard [...]
- Stars Autograph Viv Pickle Handbags for Career Wardrobe Charity Auction - 2010-05-19 05:05:42-04
Twilight star Robert Pattinson, Jay Leno, and the stars of Lost have signed handbags for the Purses with a Purpose charity auction. The auction will raise funds for Career Wardrobe, an organization which provides business attire and training programs to women looking to join the workforce. Since its inception in 1995, Career Wardrobe has helped more [...]
- Donna Sharp Alexis Bag | Rosemary Print Checked Fabric Purse - 2010-05-19 06:05:25-04
With summer approaching I'm stashing away my thick leather bags and looking for more whimsical, lightweight alternatives. With its playful tassel and gentle checked finish, the Alexis from Donna Sharp fits the bill. The Alexis is Donna Sharp's answer to the hobo. Its shape is more bucket than crescent, and it doesn't have that enviable slouch [...]
- Fitness etc. Nylon Tote | Functional and Affordable Beach Bag - 2010-05-19 07:55:09-04
Now that the sun is finally here the time is ripe to find a functional beach bag for those summer trips. It may not be all that revolutionary or exciting, but this Fitness etc. tote will certainly meet your needs when it comes to lugging your belongings to the sandy shores. You see, this is one handy [...]
- Marc Jacobs Ukita Classic Leather Bag | Practical And Conservative Brown Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-05-19 17:13:17-04
I used to be Marc Jacobs' biggest fan, but lately I just don't get what he's up to. Everything looks cheap and gimmicky and totally not anywhere near the classic American Marc Jacobs aesthetic. The fast bag is a pretty perfect example of what I mean. Marc Jacobs is known for his cutting edge, trendsetting designs, [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Dillen Hobo | Classic Leather Tear Drop Shaped Purse - 2010-05-20 02:05:15-04
I've been pleasantly surprised by Dooney & Bourke's transition from playful youth line to stylish adult accessory range. This chic Dillen bag is another excellent example of the label's new direction. The Dillen has more of a preppy style than most hobo bags, with its structured leather finish and eye-catching tear-drop shape. The lush navy leather [...]
- Fendi Charges High Prices for Skin Bag Clutch and Cover - 2010-05-20 03:05:11-04
Fendi has found a new way to gouge its customers with the launch of the Skin Bag. The concept is intriguing, but like so many high-end designer accessories its execution is a little off and its price is high. The skin bag is sold "naked" in either bright yellow or dark brown. Its handle is an [...]
- Echo Shark Attack Hobo | Nautical Twill Beach Bag - 2010-05-20 04:05:55-04
For a beach bag with bite, look to the Shark Attack Hobo from Echo. Thankfully there are no grisly scenes on the body of this bag. Instead the hobo features a pop-art style print which almost makes these ocean killers look cute! It's not a luxurious handbag by any means, but does anyone really need a [...]
- Stella McCartney and Daisy Lowe Make Purses Into Plant Pots - 2010-05-20 05:05:42-04
Handbag designer Stella McCartney and model Daisy Lowe have given their old purses a new lease on life as part of ethical coffee company Cafedirect's Sow Your Own initiative. The program encouraged celebrities to grow their own food without a garden. Stella McCartney planted her edible greens in one of her own vegan handbags, while Daisy [...]
- Ed Hardy Francesca Satchel | Frayed Patch Cotton Canvas Bag - 2010-05-20 06:05:16-04
Ed Hardy delivers its usual dose of edge with a little more restraint than normal with the Francesca satchel. Not that the Francesca is a shrinking violet by any means. The bold skull print and frayed edges are far from reserved. But at least this bag isn't covered in decorative features. The use of white space [...]
- La Regale Embossed Crocodile Clutch | Traditional Yet Affordable Purse - 2010-05-20 07:58:37-04
Classic and traditional handbags aren't just the domain of the expensive and well-established brands of the world. With this croc embossed clutch La Regale set out to prove that affordable can be glam. I think they have achieved this aim. In fact, they may have even surpassed it, through the simplicity of the design. That lovely [...]
- Emilio Pucci Snap Button Handbag | Slouchy Printed Silk Purse - 2010-05-20 17:39:42-04
Emilio Pucci is one of those brands that has been fashionable for years and years - all thanks to prints like this! The sixties inspired graphic print on this purse is very stylish, and is just in time for all the seventies inspired maxi dresses that are set to flood the market this summer. If you [...]
- Eenamaria Workin' It Tote Bag | Colorful Retro Two-Pocket Vinyl Handbag - 2010-05-21 02:05:54-04
If you're looking for an alternative to those classic colored briefcases and staid old office bags, consider the Workin' It Tote from Eenamaria. It has the bold, retro design we expect from Eenamaria, with colored panels in various shades clashing delightfully. The vinyl body may not be luxurious, but its polished finish only adds to the [...]
- Coach Releases Online Exclusive Collectibles Handbags Designed By Fashion Bloggers - 2010-05-21 03:05:19-04
Coach has teamed up with some of the web's most famous fashion bloggers to launch the Coach Collectibles series.

- Elaine Turner Tammy Tote | Croc-Embossed Patent Leather Handbag - 2010-05-21 04:05:11-04
When done right, few things look as chic as a glossy patent leather purse. But I'm not sure Elaine Turner has done this sophisticated fabric any favors with the Tammy tote. I always think patent leather works better for a more structured purse. It's not soft enough to slouch, so any folds end up looking stiff [...]
- Handbag Designer Devi Kroell Leaves Her Own Company - 2010-05-21 05:05:41-04
Well here's some unexpected news. After launching her own company in 2004, Devi Kroell is stepping down as chief executive officer and creative director. She'll remain a shareholder and board member, but will have no involvement with the day-to-day running of the business which bears her name. Details for her decision haven't been forthcoming, so one [...]
- Ellington Stella Tote | Traditional Practical Patent Leather Red Handbag - 2010-05-21 06:05:57-04
At first glance this Stella tote from Ellington looks like so many other patent leather tote's on the market, but there's more to this carryall than means the eye. That's not to say the exterior is boring. There's a classic appeal to the rich red patent leather body offset as it is by black leather shoulder [...]
- Elaine Turner Summer Clutch | Basket Weave Day Purse - 2010-05-21 08:10:44-04
The sun has arrived! Take heed, oh handbag lovers - this season is going to be hot! What better way to celebrate the arrival of baking hot days and sandy beaches than with a purse that suits the season perfectly? The Elaine Turner Summer clutch is named for the sun, and it has the looks to [...]
- Marc Jacobs Love Bird Leather Tote | Eye-Catching Abstract Patterned Flourescent Leather Tote - 2010-05-21 19:08:39-04
Until this season, Marc Jacobs had always been one of my favorite designers. Lately, his accessories have looked cheap and played out to me. Until this Love Bird tote, which seems like a return to a more interesting aesthetic. I often find that totes look kind of sloppy and unstructured, but the fabulous quality of the [...]
- Jil Sander Madame Leather Tote | Classic And Sophisticated Beige Leather Tote - 2010-05-21 22:00:55-04
Jil Sander's pared down aesthetic appeals to a lot of different kinds of women. Her pieces are versatile enough to be loved by posh uptown types, and crazy avant garde fashion loving types alike. The Madame is a good example of that versatility, although it veers a little to the conservative side. The beige leather has [...]
- Jimmy Choo Sylvia Large Grained Leather Bag | Quirky Black Leather Bag With Unusual Circular Handle - 2010-05-22 10:00:48-04
Jimmy Choo has been taking a lot of risks with his design aesthetic lately, and for the most part, they have been very successful. The Sylvia, however, while interesting and unique, is not as successful as some of his other recent attempts. I love the texture of the large grained leather material, and the sculptural pleating [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Releases Limited Edition Fur Muse Two LE Bag in Paris - 2010-05-22 21:44:19-04
Summer doesn't seem the right time to release a fur handbag, but when you're as big as Yves Saint Laurent you get to break some rules. The European fashion house has done that with the limited edition launch of its Muse Two LE bag. When I say limited edition, I mean limited edition. Just 55 of [...]
- Pansy Maiden Releases Matching Little Birds Bags for Children - 2010-05-23 00:21:46-04
Most of us can't afford the luxury matching Valentino bags sported by Angelina Jolie and Zahara, but that doesn't mean everyday parents can't get in on the trend. Eco-friendly label Pansy Maiden has just launched its own more affordable Little Birds collection, a downsized range of Pansy Maiden's most popular purses. The collection features a range [...]
- Elliott Lucca Anise Tote | Casual Woven Drawstring Handbag - 2010-05-23 00:41:16-04
Nothing says summer like a natural toned woven handbag. While a cute straw purse is an obvious and affordable choice, this material's brittle nature means it might not last more than a season or two. If you're looking for a more durable summer bag, consider a pale leather alternative like the Anise from Elliott Lucca. While [...]
- Emilie Sloan Audrey Classic Tote | Traditional Practical Patterned Coated Plainweave Purse - 2010-05-23 01:16:28-04
You can have your Marilyns and your Madonnas; when I think style icons I think Audrey Hepburn. While other starlets were teetering on their stilettos, she made a comfy statement in ballet flats. And when everyone else suffered in fashionable clothing, she set the trend in capri pants. That blend of fashion and functionality is [...]
- Jimmy Choo Brina Perforated Leather Bag | Edgy Black Leather Shoulder Bag With Moto Chic Styling - 2010-05-23 18:09:25-04
If you had told me one year ago that Jimmy Choo would put out a moto chic shoulder bag that made me swoon, I would have been completely incredulous. But he has been peppering his usually traditionalist line with a lot of edgy offerings, lately, and I am loving it. The Brina is a great [...]
- Po Campo Makes Cute Practical Purses for Bike Enthusiasts - 2010-05-23 21:47:42-04
The idea of ditching the traffic and going green on a bicycle is pretty appealing, but what do you do with your handbag when you're employing pedal power? Investing in one of the bike ready bags developed by Chicago-based company Po Campo could be the solution. There's the Rack Tote for your rear rack, the smaller [...]
- Etienne Aigner Harlow Bucket Bag | Practical Signature Print Purse - 2010-05-23 23:38:13-04
This bucket bag from Etienne Aigner's Harlow collection might not turn heads, but it's got the functional features that make it irresistible to girls on the go. The Harlow isn't as large as many bags on the market, but it's big enough to handle everything you really need without weighing you down. It's fairly narrow so [...]
- Hemptress Makes Hemp Chic with Eco-Friendly Handbag Line - 2010-05-24 00:19:39-04
When you hear the term hemp bag you tend to think of trippy tie-dyed purses from the local markets. But new handbag label Hemptress shows us that this eco-friendly material can be utilized for some super stylish accessories. My only question is, why didn't this happen sooner? Hemp is the world's strongest natural fiber, it requires [...]
- Felix Rey Lola Bow Clutch | Feminine Satin Bow Evening Purse - 2010-05-24 01:08:53-04
Once a designer who loved to dabble in casual beach accessories, Felix Rey seems to have turned a glamorous new corner. Personally I'm thrilled with the fashion house's chic new makeover. The Lola is another gorgeous example of the label's brand new attitude. Of course, not everyone will be as impressed as I am with this [...]
- Foley + Corinna Moto Hobo | Biker Style Blue Denim and Leather Handbag - 2010-05-24 02:05:03-04
Foley + Corinna brings a little biker inspired edge to the traditional hobo with the Moto. While the style is available in a variety of fabrics, my pick is this deep blue denim. It gives the Moto an old-school attitude which fits in nicely with the current 80s revival. The dark denim is accented with black [...]
- Lauren Bush Releases Guatemala FEED Bags to Help Starving Children - 2010-05-24 03:53:20-04
Lauren Bush's collection of FEED accessories has just expanded with the launch of Guatemala bags. As the name suggests, the brightly colored totes and zippered pouches are the result of a recent collaboration with Guatemalan artisans. Each bag is crafted with traditional handloomed Ikat fabric made in conjunction with Nest. This non-profit organization looks to empower [...]
- Fossil Felicity Cross-Body Bag | Sweet Floral Coated Canvas Purse - 2010-05-24 04:05:24-04
It might not be very fashion forward, but there's a lovely homespun charm to Fossil's Felicity Cross-Body. For just $48 the Felicity's glossy finish comes not from patent leather but coated canvas. It's not the luxurious material, but it's durable and water resistant so there are real advantages. There are five different prints to choose from, [...]
- Heather Heron Collaborates with Environment Furniture on Eco-Friendly Accessories Collection - 2010-05-24 05:16:53-04

- Francesco Biasia Ginger Straw Satchel | Colored Woven Straw Handbag - 2010-05-24 06:05:11-04
As the weather warms up straw handbags are becoming hot property. But I have to wonder how many girls will want to own this garish Ginger satchel from Francesco Biasia. I admire the risks taken here, but I'm not convinced by the results. The brightly dyed straw might stand out in a sea of naturally toned [...]
- Serpui Marie Vitoria Clutch | Slouchy Raffia Summer Purse - 2010-05-24 08:26:45-04
Serpui Marie are the gods of raffia and straw bags, and the Vitoria clutch demonstrates that ability to create handbags that look nothing like the materials they are made from. After all, at first glance I doubt you would assume that this large clutch was made from raffia. It looks more like a deeply textured hessian [...]
