- Chloe Aurore Medium Leather Bag | Super Sleek Light Brown Leather Satchel - 2010-10-05 00:22:40-04
Chloe has become, in the past few years, a real force to be reckoned with. They really set the pace in terms of edgy elegance. The Aurore lacks their usual edginess, but makes up for it with a simple minimal style that is really irresistible. The light brown leather on the Aurore has an almost preternaturally [...]
- Jimmy Choo Bree Medium Patent Leather Bag | Over-The-Top Shiny Black Crinkled Tote - 2010-10-05 01:30:02-04
My relationship with Jimmy Choo has undergone many changes in the past few years. I went from being completely skeptical of his line to being a total convert. So, now I am really disappointed to see that he's back to his old, ultra-trendy tricks with this over-the-top Bree bag. The patent leather on the Bree is [...]
- Big Buddha Grace Bucket Bag | Mottled "Tie-Dye" Slouchy Tote - 2010-10-05 08:53:51-04
Tie-Dye may be pretty, but the ink swirls and mottled patterns tend to be delicate. The similar effect of this Grace tote, therefore, combines the looks of tie-dye with the practicality of coated canvas. That "look" is what makes this Big Buddha bucket bag quite such a good option for the coming season. With all that [...]
- Maison Martin Margiela Large Leather Top Handle Tote | Ultra-Cool Minimal Gray Carryall - 2010-10-05 19:19:03-04
There's really nothing cooler than Maison Martin Margiela's signature brand of off-kilter minimalism. The best thing about his designs is that they are so sophisticated that women of every style, from boho to preppy, can find a way to incorporate his pieces into their wardrobes. This gray leather tote is certainly no exception. I am really [...]
- Oroton Alpine Gather Large Hobo | Classic Soft Black Glazed Goat Leather Handbag - 2010-10-05 20:48:47-04
Australian designer Oroton does things best when it keeps things simple. This Alpine Gather Hobo delivers everything we'd expect from this boho bag style, with a lot more class. This is a new twist on Oroton's popular Alpine handbag design, but it's also a subtle one. Where the original Alpine was smooth and sleek, this one [...]
- Lauren Merkin Breast Cancer Awareness Clutch | Pink Diana Purse for Young Survival Coalition - 2010-10-05 21:26:23-04
Lauren Merkin has reinvented her popular Diana clutch for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Half of the proceeds from the purse's sale during October will benefit Young Survival Coalition, or YSC. The global organization offers resources, connections, and outreach services to young women diagnosed with breast cancer. They look to ensure that no young woman ever feels [...]
- Oryany Handbags Samantha Tote | Large Snake Print Fabric Handbag - 2010-10-05 21:59:10-04
Oryany Hanbags gives us the look of exotic snake print for less with this sexy Samantha tote. I probably wouldn't have mistaken this tote for real snakeskin, but I admit that I had to look twice to see it's made of fabric. This patterned poly-cotton does a good job of masquerading as embossed leather, but it [...]
- Marni Reversible Leather And Shearling Tote | Trendy And Versatile Brown Carryall - 2010-10-06 00:00:15-04
Shearling is everywhere these days. I guess it started with Uggs, but that was half a decade ago and the trend shows no sign of abating. Most of the time, I'm not really a big fan of shearling in fashion. It's bulky, which is almost never flattering. But Marni has come up with an ingenious [...]
- Luxury Giorry Diaper Bags | Stylish Leather Totes for Chic Moms - 2010-10-06 00:09:59-04
It must be tough to feel glamorous when you've got orange juice stains on your blouse and a rugrat clinging to your ankle, but new handbag brand Giorry hopes to make the task a bit easier with its range of diaper purses. The name Giorry comes from a Mesopotamian word for a variety of rose. It's [...]
- Pacsafe Venturesafe 200 Travel Bag | Compact Secure Nylon Cross-Body Purse - 2010-10-06 00:57:44-04
Pacsafe accessories never turn heads, but if you're jet setting the practical designs of bags like the Venturesafe might be enough to win you over. The 200 is my favorite of the Venturesafe bags as it's not too big or too small. You can easily fit everything you need for a day trip inside, but it [...]
- Paul Smith Trixie Cross-Body Bag | Quilted Taupe Nylon Shoulder Purse - 2010-10-06 02:05:48-04
When I think of Paul Smith I think of stripes of swirling color and quirky style. That may be why I find this very conservative Trixie bag from the British designer a bit flat. There's a place in every wardrobe for a classic handbag, but I'm not sure Paul Smith is the designer I'd look to [...]
- Kara Ross Prunella Clutch | Snakeskin Envelope Purse With Gem Decoration - 2010-10-06 08:38:46-04
Opening this elegant envelope clutch will be like winning an award every day, thanks to the glossy luxury design and the cute package shape. The Prunella purse should look luxurious, because Kara Ross is charging you a painful $975 to own it. The last thing you want when talking about that amount of money is something dull [...]
- Bodhi Striped Seamed Tote | Bold and Beautiful Luxury Handbag - 2010-10-06 09:38:06-04
OK, hands up. Who loves Bodhi handbags?! I certainly do, as there isn't a Bodhi purse that I do not actively lust after. With their bold colors, unusual shapes and unbelievably luxurious high gloss sheen, they are unusual and stunning additions to the whole handbag industry. OK, lusting over, what do we think of this golden [...]
- Vanessa Bruno Leather And Suede Satchel | Perfectly Preppy Purple And Brown Handbag - 2010-10-06 17:53:16-04
Purple is a really hot color this season. We've seen it a lot in rockstar funky accessories, but it isn't that often that it's pulled off in a preppy, conservative sort of way. This satchel by Vanessa Bruno manages to make purple look preppy and utilitarian in a totally new sort of way. Vanessa Bruno [...]
- DKNY Quilted Leather Messenger Bag | Beautifully Classic & Affordable Black Handbag - 2010-10-06 22:00:02-04
Finally a DKNY design that I can totally get behind. A lot of its pieces this season have just been so trendy or plain that I was starting to lose hope. But this quilted leather messenger bag is a fabulous accessory at a fabulous price. The quilted black leather material is both classic and on-trend. It [...]
- Fair Trade Handbags from Artisan Life | Columbian Luxury Leather Purses - 2010-10-06 23:10:03-04
Artisan Life brings beautiful handcrafted purses, jewelry, and homewares from Columbia to socially conscious style lovers all over the world. The label gives these South American artisans the chance to expand their opportunities beyond their local markets to better support their families and communities. Every piece from Artisan Life is made from natural and sustainable fabrics [...]
- Phillip Lim In a Pinch Tote | Unusual Green & Black Leather Handbag - 2010-10-06 23:56:57-04
Ordinarily I embrace Phillip Lim's handbags, but the design of the In a Pinch tote has me scratching my head. This is a real departure for the designer who is famous for minimalist accessories in conservative colors. The vibrant lime green and black color combination is a far cry from the subtle neutral tones he typically [...]
- Sondra Roberts' New Footwear Line | Designer Makes Shoes to Match Handbags - 2010-10-07 00:23:08-04
Sondra Roberts has expanded her fashion empire with the launch of shoes designed to coordinate with her iconic purses. "We definitely did some coordinating styles for that customer who wants a complete look with their handbag," explained Sondra Roberts' national sales manager, Robyn Albaum. If you're a fan of the New York designer's purses you'll recognize the [...]
- Pink Studio Larissa Clutch | Vintage Preppy Houndstooth Fabric Purse - 2010-10-07 01:17:10-04
Pink Studio has packed all the vintage style of the hit advertising drama Mad Men into this stylish Larissa clutch. Some might call it drab, but after seeing so many colorful Pink Studio designs I'm happy for something a little more conservative. The look of black houndstooth checks against the silvery background is so elegant, and [...]
- Garden Of Eden Pretty Retro Purse | Nvie Designs Oversized Floral Satchel - 2010-10-07 08:57:46-04
Don't you just want to be skipping through an English country garden picking forget-me-nots when you see this cute retro satchel? I do, anyway! The combination of duck egg blue, the color most often used to represent the 50s, and a delicate floral pattern means that the Garden of Eden purse looks like an throwback from [...]
- J. Furmani Puffed Satin Clutch | Unusual Arrowhead Purse with Rhinestone closure - 2010-10-07 09:15:22-04
J. Furmani is the undisputed expert on all handbags puffed, quilted and otherwise enhanced by layers of affordable texture. This puffed satin evening bag is the oddest pattern I have seen him do, but it definitely still fits in with the theme. If you ignore the fact that to the untrained and slightly geeky eye this [...]
- Alexander McQueen Hell's Knuckleduster Box Clutch | Dramatic Black Bag With Skull Clasp - 2010-10-07 19:21:44-04
The Alexander McQueen line makes a lot of fabulous knuckledusters and a lot of fabulous box clutches. They each have their own signature edgy charm, but the Hell's Knuckleduster might be both the edgiest and most elegant at the same time. The sleek oval shape of the Hell's Knuckleduster is streamlined, and made to fit perfectly into [...]
- Prada Crystal Kisslock Clutch | Classic Black Leather Evening Purse - 2010-10-07 21:03:13-04
Prada keeps it simple with this elegant black leather crystal kisslock clutch. There's a fine line between boring and simply chic, and sadly I think Prada has come down on the wrong side of things. The large faceted crystals on the kisslock clasp do their best to dress things up, but this task seems insurmountable. From [...]
- Mulberry's Sales Up | British Handbag Brand Records Increased Profits - 2010-10-07 21:36:45-04
It seems that everyone's mad about Mulberry, with the fashion brand posting a massive sales increase of 79% in the last ten weeks compared to the same time in 2009. The British label enjoyed particularly strong sales in the Far East, and at its new flagship store in London's Bond Street. The results have encouraged analysts [...]
- Prezzo Metal Mesh Snap Bag | Elegant Vintage Bone Colored Flap Handbag - 2010-10-07 22:06:59-04
Prezzo channels vintage style with this elegant metal mesh snap bag. Metal mesh has made a comeback in recent years, but with mesh innovators like Whiting & Davis pushing the envelope it's refreshing to see a brand going back to basics. Paired with a simple silhouette and flap closure, the elegant diamond shaped metal plates do [...]
- DKNY Crocodile-Effect Leather Shopper | Affordable And Fabulous Faux Tote - 2010-10-07 22:36:38-04
As a high end diffusion line, I feel like it is DKNY's job to interpret the trends for a wide audience and make them economically accessible. For the past few months they disappointed me with unsophisticated, overembellished pieces. But lately, they've been offering simple chic bags that are versatile and timeless. This croc effect shopper [...]
- Stefano Pilati Out at Yves Saint Laurent? | Creative Director Gets Sack Rumors - 2010-10-07 23:02:28-04
The fashion rumor mill is buzzing that Stefano Pilati may soon receive the boot from Yves Saint Laurent. The New York Post and Fashion Wire Daily both report that the creative director's spring 2011 line will be his last for the brand. Pilati succeeded Tom Ford several years ago, and his designs have been both lauded [...]
- Proenza Schouler Paper-Effect Leather Bag | Luxury Tan Tote Purse - 2010-10-07 23:39:32-04
These days fashion is moving away from obvious logo prints and plates, and embracing more minimalist luxury designs. So I suppose that a designer tote which looks like a brown paper lunch bag is the next logical step. I might be able to understand it on an intellectual level, but that doesn't mean that I warm [...]
- Radley Woven Leather Bowling Bag | Unique Retro Fall Colors Handbag - 2010-10-08 02:05:06-04
I've seen so many woven handbags lately that they're almost becoming commonplace, so I was thrilled to see Radley taking some risks with this unique woven leather bowler. Rather than using regular strips of leather, Radley interweaves differently sized swatches to create an effect which is striking and stylish. The rich brown, burgundy, and olive tones [...]
- DecktOut.com Handbag Exchange | New Luxury Purse Trade Website - 2010-10-08 03:05:06-04

- Rafe Belle Cross Body Bag | Snake Print Leather Studded Purse - 2010-10-08 04:05:55-04
Just when I was beginning to suffer stud fatigue, Rafe releases this Belle cross body bag to change my mind. Studs are typically used to add edge to a design, but these smooth domed studs are much more delicate and feminine. Some fashionistas may think they look too busy against the snakeskin printed leather, but I [...]
- Stella & jamie's New Handbags | Leather Jacket Brand Releases Rock & Roll Purses - 2010-10-08 05:05:10-04
Leather jacket and fashion label Stella & jamie is the latest brand to add handbags to its fashion empire. The bags take up where the apparel leaves off, with fringe, studs, chains, and grommets delivering the same rock and roll style. However the brand's designer April Mun was quick to point out that the purses don't [...]
- Lauren by Ralph Lauren Acadian Hobo | Black Crocodile Embossed Cowhide Leather Handbag - 2010-10-08 06:05:12-04
After seeing so many casual signature print purses, we can easily forget that Ralph Lauren makes luxury handbags, and makes them quite well. This dressed up Acadian hobo is an excellent example of the brand's more opulent accessories. The plush cowhide leather is gently embossed with crocodile scales to add interest. I love the look of [...]
- Vanessa Bruno Suede Tassel Shoulder Bag | Luxe And Supple Slouchy Teal Bag - 2010-10-08 17:44:16-04
I hadn't heard of Vanessa Bruno until relatively recently, but so far, I am really liking what she has to offer. Her use of color is bold and eye-catching, and her classic, but casual aesthetic is really starting to grow on me. This shoulder bag is a great addition to a growing line of fabulous [...]
- Versace Patent-Leather Small Shoulder Bag | Gorgeously Modern Shocking Blue Bag - 2010-10-08 21:00:13-04
Versace is not one of the first lines I think of when I think of modern design. Their aesthetic has a bit of an old world quality to it that has been working for them for decades. But this gorgeous electric blue shoulder bag is nothing if it's not modern. It looks like it came [...]
- Rampage Madrid Shoulder Clutch | Blue Synthetic Snake Print Convertible Chain Purse - 2010-10-09 20:47:43-04
I could call the Madrid clutch from Rampage many things, but boring isn't one of them! Rather than offering European elegance, the Madrid seems determined to shock. The pretty ruched flap could have been feminine if not for the chunky chain snaking through it. It's not the only serpentine element of this purse; the snake print [...]
- Kate Spade Launches Pop-Up Store in London | American Handbags in Britain - 2010-10-09 21:35:19-04
New York designer Kate Spade is taking her iconic vintage-inspired handbags across the pond to launch a pop-up show in London's Covent Garden later this month. The brand is already popular with celebrity Brits like Sienna Miller and Annie Lennox's model daughter Tali, so it's only a matter of time before the rest of the country [...]
- DKNY Eyelet Large Quilted Tote | Bright And Classic Purple Carryall - 2010-10-09 21:59:15-04
I've kept a close eye on DKNY, lately. Perhaps it's because the economy is so bad, and the prices of some of the more haute designer lines seem inaccessible. But also because I feel the line is transforming itself into a design house that can be depended on to produce high quality staples like this [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Rapture Satchel | Classic Brown Leather Carry-All Bag - 2010-10-09 22:40:45-04
Rebecca Minkoff sends our expectations sky high with the provocatively named Rapture satchel. I don't know about you, but I didn't exactly have a rapturous response when I spied this carryall. It looks nice enough and all, but its conservative tones and subdued details didn't inspire ecstasy. While Rebecca Minkoff doesn't achieve all she sets out [...]
- Steve Madden Saves Betsey Johnson | Designer Takes on Handbag Brand's Debt - 2010-10-09 22:59:53-04
Steve Madden has taken charge of Betsey Johnson's fashion label after buying its debt. The agreement sees Johnson pay back Madden rather than a large faceless lender, and the company's big wigs couldn't be happier. "Whenever you come out of a situation with a good partner, cash coming into the business and the elimination of all debt, [...]
- Burberry Studded Leather Knight Bag | Tough And Glam Studded Black Satchel - 2010-10-10 01:00:52-04
Burberry is known for its conservative designs and iconic plaid print, but the line is much more diverse than most people know. This rockstar fabulous Knight bag shows off the brands edgier side. The surface of this black leather bag is absolutely covered with tiny silver studs. They're big enough to look totally badass, but small [...]
- Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli Logo Detail Bag | Signature Print Monogrammed Handbag - 2010-10-10 02:05:43-04
Roberto Cavalli has created some of the quirkiest and kookiest bags that I've ever seen. So I was surprised to see the designer release this fairly pedestrian logo detail bag. The name really doesn't leave much to the imagination, and neither does the bag. There are logo details all over the material, which is an affordable [...]
- Liz Hurley Designs Clutch Purse | Limited Edition Elizabeth from Aspinal of London for Breast Cancer Research - 2010-10-10 03:05:18-04
British actress Liz Hurley is the latest celebrity to try her hand at designing purses. Liz is responsible for this Limited Edition Elizabeth bag, an elegant clutch released through Aspinal of London. To call this purse a celebrity designed handbag may be a bit of a stretch as it's not too dissimilar to the brand's iconic [...]
- Roger Vivier Suede Small Shoulder Bag | Black Jeweled Heart Applique Purse - 2010-10-10 04:05:38-04
Roger Vivier embraces its whimsical side with this playful suede shoulder purse. I must admit, this is the last accessory I expected to see from the fashion house known for its sleek, retro designs. I imagine a young girl might make something this if someone handed them a plain black bag, a few heart details, and [...]
- Winter 2010/2011 Handbag Fashion Trends | New Purse Style Advice - 2010-10-10 22:25:18-04
We're all starting to reach for our sweaters as fall takes hold, and there's more cold weather ahead. To make sure you're prepared once winter hits, fashion forecasters have already begun to predict the kind of purses you'll want to carry. The new crop of bags will continue the industry's shift away from obvious branding and [...]
- Valentino Studded Lizard Clutch | Extraordinary Exotic Metallic Reptile Skin Handbag - 2010-10-11 01:00:23-04
Valentino is one of my favorite lines of all time, because, for the most part, the house is extremely consistent in terms of design. They've been putting out tasteful, but luxurious, feminine classics for half a century. This studded lizard clutch is an amazing addition to an already fabulous line. The lizard skin on this bag [...]
- Roxy Camden Satchel | Affordable Deep Blue Weathered Vinyl Studded Handbag - 2010-10-11 02:05:12-04
With winter chills upon us, we tend to forget about surf brands like Roxy. That's a shame, because with the Camden satchel the label creates the kind of purse that will serve you well no matter what the season. The Camden is one of those rare bags which offers the style we crave backed up by [...]
- Traditional Woven Bags from Mapuche Modern | Project Chol Chol Takes Fair Trade South American Accessories to World - 2010-10-11 03:05:44-04
Project Chol Chol is a fashion program which brings the stylish fashion goods of the Mapuche people of South America to the rest of the world. Through the line, known as Mapuche Modern, the initiative offers handbags, belts, scarves, and other style items made with traditional weaving techniques. The artisans from Argentina and Chile work under [...]
- Salvatore Ferragamo Miss Vara Bow Bag | Red Patent Leather Mini Purse - 2010-10-11 04:05:36-04
Salvatore Ferragamo delivers plenty of shine and style with this playful Miss Vara Bow Bag. I can definitely imagine Minnie Mouse carrying this bright red patent leather purse. The iconic cartoon character would certainly appreciate the purse's miniature mouse-sized stature and its oversized grosgrain ribbon bow. As a human though, I've got a few minor complaints. While [...]
- New Recycled Collection Handbags from REVEAL | Plastic Bottles Make Satiny Eco-Friendly Purses - 2010-10-11 05:05:56-04
Eco-luxury fashion label REVEAL Handbags has released a brand new Recycled Collection made from vegan leather and recycled materials. The luxurious soft bodies and inner linings feel like satin, but they're actually crafted from recycled plastic bottles. It's hard to believe such a beautiful material once held soda! No cows or animals were harmed in the [...]
- Samsonite Camelot Laptop Tote | Vertical Ruby Red Microfiber Computer Handbag - 2010-10-11 06:05:17-04
Samsonite offers a sleek alternative to a traditional laptop bag with this chic Camelot tote. At first glance it appears like any tote, with its classic rectangular shape and smooth lines. But that traditional appearance masks a high tech interior. The sueded microfiber lining helps to protect up to a 16-inch laptop, and there are several [...]
