1. Swiss Handbag Designer Ira Grant Goes Green with Sacs Bio Bags - 2010-07-19 23:16:07-04
   With her Sacs Bio collection, Swiss designer Ira Grant easily marries style with eco-friendly practices. All bags from the line are hand-crafted from natural, organic, and rapidly renewable materials. Leather is used sparingly for accents and embellishments, but it's always sourced from the off cuts of Ira's regular line. Ira makes all the bags in her smoke [...]
   
2. Jimmy Choo Adele Fringe Bag | Fabulous Brown Leather Shoulder Bag With Snakeskin Trim - 2010-07-19 23:52:52-04
   Jimmy Choo's past few seasons have totally converted me from an absolute naysayer to a woman who fawns and drools over every new thing he comes up with. Why? Because his style is evolving into a more street smart elegance that appeals to downtown types like me. This Adele fringed bag is bound to win [...]
   
3. 7 Chi Boston Tie-Dye Satchel | Hippie Mottled Red Leather Carryall Bag - 2010-07-20 01:26:45-04
   Boston bags tend to be fairly staid affairs, but 7 Chi shakes things up a bit with this Tie-Dye Boston style satchel. This handbag is far from the reserved number we expect from a Boston. The shape is classic, but the finish is anything but ordinary. The metallic leather finish is mottled with red to create [...]
   
4. Valentino Fringed Leather Bucket Bag | Tough But Glam Black Leather Fringed Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-07-20 01:30:34-04
   Valentino might be one of the first designers I think of when I think "chic" or "ladylike", but he certainly isn't one of the first designers I think of when I think "hip". Which makes this fringed bucket bag a definite departure from the line's usual style, because it is nothing if it is not [...]
   
5. Ellington Brooke Bowler Bag | Classic Red Italian Leather Domed Handbag - 2010-07-20 02:05:35-04
   With the Brooke, Ellington brings us a classic bowler bag with a healthy dose of modern style. This is a bowler bag made with the traditionalist in mind. Its playful dome shape works well with the bright red Italian leather finish to create a look that seems as if it's stepped right out of the 50s. [...]
   
6. Affordable Bags From New Handbag Brand Ashard Richley Impress - 2010-07-20 03:06:33-04
   If you're looking for a fun, flirty accessory that you won't see on the arms of every other fashionista look no further than Ashard Richley. The Texas-based brand was born when in 2009, former B&D and Coach designer Ashley Burghardt decided she could go it alone. Her co-conspirator and then-fiancé Richard admitted he had no fashion [...]

8. Bodhi Bucket Tote Bag | Unusual Tangerine Orange Leather Purse - 2010-07-20 06:05:40-04
   Trust Bodhi to take a handbag style we thought we knew and turn it on its head. The clean, crisp lines we typically see in a bucket bag are gone, replaced instead with a flared tote-like silhouette. The playful front pockets extend out beyond the rest of the bag to further alter its shape. These pouches, [...]
   
9. Lanvin Amalia Medium Python Bag | Luxurious Exotic-Skinned Shoulder Bag With Chain Strap - 2010-07-20 19:10:29-04
   Lanvin's line of Amalia bags have been, in general, fantastic. But this medium python shoulder bag is by far my favorite of the bunch. It has all the elegant femininity that we've come to expect from Lanvin, but with an exotic twist. The grey-brown python skin is simply phenomenal. I've never seen a snakeskin bag in [...]

12. Big Buddha Jacqueline Clutch | Studded Tassel Soft Synthetic Purse - 2010-07-21 02:05:47-04
    Just as I was beginning to tire of studded purses, this Jacqueline clutch from Big Buddha crosses my path to change my mind. Big Buddha breathes new life into the popular trend by interpreting it in a delicate new way. The fine studs make a refreshing change from the chunky hardware accents we typically see. By [...]

    Hermes might charge an arm and a leg for its iconic handbags and stylish scarves, but that hasn't scared shoppers off in the last few months.

15. Interrobang Creates Eco-Friendly Bags From Seatbelts and Flags - 2010-07-21 05:05:42-04
    If you thought Harveys had the seatbelt handbag market cornered, think again. Independent Australian label Interrobang is giving the well-known American brand a run for its money. Rather than weaving the car parts together, Interrobang lays the belts side by side for a cleaner, more sophisticated look. There are also more different styles available than the [...]
    
16. Roxy Swiss Miss Cross-Body Bag | Affordable Weathered Black Vinyl Casual Handbag - 2010-07-21 06:05:48-04
    Once the go-to line for beach bags and summer accessories, these days Roxy is showing us what it can do away from the sea shore. Stylish handbags like this Swiss Miss cross-body have almost become the norm for Roxy, and I for one am thrilled at the new direction. I just can't figure out what [...]
    
17. Miu Miu Patent Leather Tote Bag | Fabulous Ultra-Glossy Black Patent Leather Carryall - 2010-07-21 19:35:11-04
    Miu Miu's traditionally cutting edge aesthetic has gotten a lot more, well, traditional, lately. Don't worry, they still add edgy little touches, but for the most part, their designs have been leaning towards the ladylike. This patent tote is a good example of where their style is headed. The shininess of this bag is almost overwhelming, [...]
    
18. Marni Goat Hair Leather Bag | Unusual Avant Garde Long-Haired Black Leather Bag - 2010-07-21 22:00:06-04
    Marni is one of those lines that changes things up as soon as you think you know what to expect from it. Trendy, I expect from Marni. Cute and quirky I also expect. Totally bizarre I wasn't prepared for. But that's exactly what this goat hair bag is: totally, completely bizarre. I can't exactly put my [...]
    
19. Kate Spade Barrow Street Anabel Baby Tote | Stylish Bow Accented Diaper Bag - 2010-07-22 02:05:23-04
    Kate Spade puts an end to those childish printed diaper bags with this grown-up Barrow Street Anabel bag. The classic tote shape is given some extra flair with a big wide bow. I prefer the bag in this timeless black and white combo, but if you're a girly girl you may opt for the more daring [...]
    
20. Chanel Handbag Prices Tipped to Rise in August - 2010-07-22 03:05:04-04
    If you've had your eye on a Chanel handbag, now might be the best time to take the plunge. The industry is buzzing with the news that the French fashion label will increase its prices by a whopping 20% on August 1. Apparently Chanel is concerned that it's becoming a "main street" brand like "Louis Vuitton," [...]
    
21. Donna Sharp Doctor Bag | Affordable Classic Cabana Paisley Fabric Dome Handbag - 2010-07-22 04:05:16-04
    Donna Sharp toes the line with this traditional doctor bag. If I hadn't known better, I'd have sworn this was a Vera Bradley creation. The print may not be as vibrant, but the quilted fabric body and classic looks are so reminiscent of that designer. We're used to seeing Donna Sharp breaking a few more rules, [...]

23. Treesje RRR Tote | Canvas Recycle Logo Print Carry-All Bag - 2010-07-22 06:05:38-04
    Treesje reminds us to reduce, reuse, and recycle, with this eco-print logo tote. My greatest problem is that it's not all that it's cracked up to. It poses as an eco-friendly handbag, but in actuality it's not much greener than the average tote. The leather handles and trim are a real no no in the eyes [...]
    
24. Alexander McQueen Brittania Punk Skull Leather Clutch | Tough Luxe Clutch With Skull And Spike Detail - 2010-07-22 12:07:37-04
    Alexander McQueen's eponymous line always manages to bring punk and chic together in a seamless way, which is no small feat, and the line is successful where many others fail. This Brittania clutch has all the opulence that you'd expect from a high-end designer bag, but with a decidedly DIY attitude. The fleshy nude leather of [...]
    
25. Marni Flat Leather Bowling Bag | Smooth And Sleek Tan Leather Bowling Bag - 2010-07-22 17:11:24-04
    Marni's style has been so diverse, lately, that I'm just not sure how to characterize it. Remember the totally amazing goat hair bag? Well, this sleek bowling bag is a far cry from that unusual piece, but it has a uniqueness all its own. Marni has taken the classic bowling bag and flattened it out into [...]
    
26. Adidas Anya Roll Duffel Bag | Budget Casual Printed Polyester Gym Handbag - 2010-07-23 02:05:03-04
    With the Anya Roll bag, sporty brand Adidas delivers a duffel which can easily take you from class to the gym. The style is fairly simple, with a classic barrel shape and soft casual silhouette. The personality comes from the two prints, which are designed to suit all kinds of tastes. I love this playful colored [...]
    
27. Courtney Love Credits Hermes Birkin Bag for Good Behavior - 2010-07-23 03:05:13-04
    These days it's easy to forget Courtney Love was once a lipstick smeared, messy haired, train wreck of a rock star. Now she's all polished and poised, and it seems we have the Hermes Birkin bag to thank for the transformation. The former Mrs Kurt Cobain told Women's Wear Daily that her life changed when she [...]
    
28. Fossil Milo Crossbody Bag | Purple Leather East/West Style Classic Handbag - 2010-07-23 04:05:43-04
    I've had an obsession with the color purple dating back as long as I can remember. Purple purses can be difficult to incorporate into a wardrobe, but with this classic looking Milo bag from Fossil I think we can all pull it off. The secret is that traditional styling which helps to temper the bold color. [...]

As with all of Los Angeles based designer Jaclyn Morse's bags, purses from the new line are named after her female family members and closest gal pals. The nubbly crocodile scales of the Jessica tote, the Raquel satchel, and [...]
    
30. Savanna Beaded Ring Handle Evening Bag | Brown Tribal Colored Beads Purse - 2010-07-23 06:05:37-04
    Savanna brings a healthy dose of ethnic style to your evening ensemble with this striking beaded bag. While most designers cover their evening bags in beads, Savanna is more sparing in its use of the accents. Instead it sees lines of beads fan out from the ring handle, almost like the rays of the sun. The [...]
    
31. See by Chloe Marti Long Flap Wallet | Versatile Tan Suede And Leather Wallet With Zipper-Edged Leather Bow - 2010-07-23 21:21:19-04
    I am really infatuated with Chloe's new line of Marti bags.  I always love Chloe's hip, feminine designs, but these bags are particularly lovely with their subtly unusual colors and sculptural zipper-sided bows. If you like the Marti handbags, this wallet is an amazing complement to any one of them. The tan leather on this wallet [...]

34. B. Makowsky Lites Nairobi Tote | Large Furry Animal Print Carryall Bag - 2010-07-24 02:05:12-04
    It looks like B. Makowsky has gone on a shooting spree in Africa with the release of the Nairobi totes. But rest assured animal lovers, these furry bags are strictly of the faux variety. I don't know about you, but even knowing B. Makowsky has used faux fur doesn't completely put my mind at ease here. [...]

36. Vitalio Vera Ellipse Hobo | Futuristic Budget Blackened Purple Alligator Print Purse - 2010-07-24 04:05:51-04
    Vitalio Vera takes the hobo style from the swinging sixties to infinity and beyond with this head-turning Ellipse purse. This is like no hobo I've ever seen. I suppose its silhouette is vaguely crescent shaped, although to me it looks much closer to a space ship! It's also got much more structure than your typical hobo [...]
    
37. Banners, Canvasses, and Kitesurf Sails Become Green Handbags with Spanish Brand Demano - 2010-07-24 05:05:02-04
    Demano cuts the landfill in its native Spain with its clever handbag range crafted from reclaimed banners. The brand's creators noticed that almost 20, 000 banners were hung from street lights in their native Barcelona each year, advertising everything from cultural fairs to film festivals. Most of these were not reusable, and so seemed destined for [...]
    
38. Nancy Gonzalez Large Crocodile Clutch | Exotic And Sophisticated Black Croc Clutch - 2010-07-24 20:33:26-04
    Nancy Gonzalez is known for having a light touch when it comes to design. All of her bags are made of exotic or unusual materials, and she usually chooses to let the natural beauty of the materials be center-stage. This sophisticated clutch is a good example of her work. The croc material takes center stage here. [...]
    
39. 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Studded Bow-Detailed Bag | Fabulous Grey Leather Satchel With Gunmetal-Studded Leather Bow - 2010-07-25 13:33:19-04
    Philip Lim's quirky brand of minimalism has won him fans for years. This awesome studded Edie handbag is a little more blingy than your average 3.1 fare, but I really dig the direction it's headed in. The grey color of the bag is what really wins me over. It also comes in black, but the grey [...]
    
40. Mulberry Antony Leather Cross-Body Bag | Chic And Utilitarian Black Leather Cross-Body Bag - 2010-07-25 16:00:37-04

The Antony is a good example of Hill's sleek, [...]
    
41. Juicy Couture Electronics Laptop Case | Pink Velour Logo Computer Bag - 2010-07-25 23:13:29-04
    Juicy Couture offers a fun, feminine alternative to traditional computer bags with this pretty in pink Electronics Laptop Case. The style is signature Juicy Couture, although its execution is a little more subdued than we're used to. There isn't a lot of hardware or frills, but the pale pink velour and bold Juicy logo definitely point [...]

43. Joe's Jeans Samantha Messenger Bag | Stylish Brown Stitched Leather Handbag - 2010-07-26 00:14:32-04
    Joe's Jeans dresses up the traditional messenger bag with the ever-so-chic Samantha. What sets this messenger apart is its clever styling. The traditional flap design can look a little sloppy, so Joe's Jeans opts instead for a sunken zipper. Its traditionally toned pebble leather finish is made a bit more exciting with wicker looking stitching. Unfortunately though, [...]
    
44. British Insurance Firm Insurance4Everyone Introduces Cover for Handbags - 2010-07-26 00:53:19-04
    British insurance firm Insurance4everyone has introduced a new policy designed with bagistas in mind. The initiative offers customers up to £2500 worth of cover for handbags and their contents. That level of insurance will barely make a dent if you own a Birkin of course, but it should help out most bag enthusiasts. While most insurance [...]
    
45. Inge Christopher Mumbai Minaudiere | Gold Snakeskin Leather Evening Purse - 2010-07-26 03:16:47-04
    Inge Christopher claims to take its inspiration from the Far East for this Mumbai minaudiere. But this luxe purse with its chic styling seems like it'd be much more at home in an urban environment. Rather than deliver a traditional beaded minaudiere, Inge Christopher takes a pared back approach. Its finish is cool leather with an [...]
    
46. New Clear Handbags and More Shopping Website Sells Transparent Purses - 2010-07-26 03:49:45-04
    Transparent handbags tend to divide opinion in the fashion world. Some folks love to see their items at a glance, and prefer the easy-clean, hard wearing finish of transparent PVC. Others would rather keep a little mystery by stashing their items away from prying eyes. If you can't get enough of these distinctive purses though, [...]
    
47. Ed Hardy Francie Tote | Frayed Trim Purse with Tattoo Graphics - 2010-07-26 07:53:04-04
    Do you prefer your handbags to be casual and easygoing? If so then this frayed tote from Ed Hardy should match your look perfectly. OK, so a rich plum shade isn't going to go with every outfit. However, this canvas tote and its navy counterpart are more intended for pairing with jeans and t-shirts than with [...]
    
48. Inge Christopher Ingrid Clutch | Interesting Wave Design Silk Purse - 2010-07-26 08:11:14-04
    Inge Christopher are experts at producing classy yet individual purses that don't hit the stratospheric prices of some other designer bags. They aren't cheap, don't get me wrong, but at $88 I have certainly seen more charged for an equivalent silk clutch. At first glance the Ingrid clutch looks like it is made from raffia. However, [...]
