Fendi's flashy chic draws fans from all over the world. In every posh nightclub in every city on the globe, you will find a Fendi baguette dandling from the elbow of a very fashionable woman. Fendi has turned their blingy aesthetic on its head with this more casual and more function take on the classic [...]
- Rebecca Minkoff Biker Flap Clutch | Cone Studded Leather Purse - 2010-10-25 15:08:30-04
Why have one flap on your handbag when you can have six?! I don't know what purpose those little flaps actually serve. They don't conceal pockets or anything like that! However, they are covered in the coolest of cone studs, and that is what manages to take them from being a strange addition into being a [...]
- Mulberry Bayswater Python Bag | A Modern Classic Gets An Opulent Gold Upgrade - 2010-10-25 22:00:19-04
Mulberry's Bayswater bag has quickly become a staple in the fashion world. Women looking for an alternative to more expensive It bags, like the Hermes Birkin, have found a viable one in the Bayswater. To be honest, I'm not usually a fan of the bag's conservative aesthetic, but I love this gilded python skin version. The [...]
- Versace Studded Leather Shoulder Bag | Tough Black Leather Handbag Covered In Studs - 2010-10-26 01:00:25-04
You've got to hand it to Versace, they just don't do anything halfway. The fabulous Italian line's aesthetic is colorful, flashy, and hard to ignore. I haven't always been a fan in the past, but the house seems to be on a major upswing. This studded leather shoulder bag is evidence that's true. We've seen every [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Easy Satchel Bag | Casual Bronze Calfskin Medium Bag - 2010-10-26 02:05:06-04
Yves Saint Laurent gives its signature looks a casual makeover with this Easy Bag. This carryall gets its name from the gentle slouch of its buttery calfskin body. The soft surface has a relaxed feel which in some ways seems at odds with its glitzy bronze color. I suppose the idea is to make the Easy [...]
- Macy's Announces Capsule Collections | Department Store Announces Affordable Kinder Aggugini Range - 2010-10-26 03:05:51-04
Affordable designer fashion lines are all the rage, with department stores like H&M, Topshop, and Target all getting in on the act. Now Macy's has joined the charge with the announcement of its rotating capsule collections. From February 2011, a new diffusion line will hit the retailer's Impulse department. The series will kick off with a [...]
- Zac Posen Maggie Satchel | Luxury Black Calfskin Everyday Handbag - 2010-10-26 04:05:55-04
Just as we all need a little black dress in our closet, every girl needs a reliable black bag. It shouldn't be too big or too small, too ostentatious or too mundane. In fact, it should be something rather like this Maggie Satchel from Zac Posen. The devil's in the details here. It's the smooth finish [...]
- Advertisement Reveals Sneak Peek at Lanvin for H&M Collection | Affordable Dresses, Clutch Purses, Shoes & More - 2010-10-26 05:05:08-04
Are we all getting excited about Lanvin's diffusion line for H&M? There's less than one month to go until the more affordable designs from Alber Elbaz hits the stores, and this advertisement gives us a bit of a sneak peek. Those vibrantly colored floral dresses will likely get the most attention, but my eyes are drawn [...]
- Sonia Rykiel Over The Shoulder Bag | Simple Glitzy Gold Leather Tote - 2010-10-26 06:05:11-04
Sonia Rykiel shows that even the simplest tote bag can command attention with this Over The Shoulder Bag. It might be a head-turner, but I wish Sonia Rykiel had used a little more originality here. It'll attract attention not because it's particularly stylish or interesting, but because it's such a glitzy shade of gold. I suppose [...]
- D&G Lily Twist Purse | Dolce & Gabbana Three-Zip Leopard Print Wallet - 2010-10-26 15:29:48-04
A luxury purse with multiple compartments is high on most organised girls handbag wish-lists. The D&G Lily purse is just that - and by gum is it luxurious. Anything by Dolce & Gabbana is bound to be pricey, and this three-zip purse doesn't disappoint. At $1,250 it is easily the most expensive wallet style handbag that [...]
- Lucky Brand Sandplay Hobo | Boho Patchwork Canvas Tote - 2010-10-26 16:56:30-04
Lucky Brand is getting more and more boho as the days go by, as neatly demonstrated by this Sandplay tote. Although the patchwork nature of this canvas bag means it is instantly informal and probably not suitable for work, there is still something pretty about this purse. The colors are largely muted, with just a lovely [...]
- Mulberry Oversized Alexa Leather Bag | Urban Supermodel-Inspired Black Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-10-26 17:32:44-04
Model Alexa Chung is such a devoted fan of the Mulberry line that she used to carry around an old, battered, men's Mulberry briefcase. Well, she certainly isn't carrying around anything old and battered anymore, in fact, Mulberry's It bag, the Alexa, was named after her. This fabulous new oversized version is bigger, but has [...]
- Alexander McQueen Faithful Medium Leather Hobo | Rocker Chic Studded Black Handbag - 2010-10-26 19:00:08-04
Alexander McQueen may have passed away, but his spirit lives on in his line's tough, but chic designs. This is definitely my favorite bag from the Faithful line, and one of my favorite bags of the whole season. The material of the this bag is what makes it stand out for me. Precisely because, while it's [...]
- Jimmy Choo Sylvia Large Suede Bag | Slouchy Camel Hobo With Shearling Trim - 2010-10-27 00:00:20-04
I don't know what's going on with all this shearling I've been seeing, lately. I thought that it was a faded trend, but it seems to be holding on for dear life. Frankly, I'm tired of looking at it, and I'm disappointed with Jimmy Choo for giving in to it. Even if it's only the trim [...]
- 7 Chi Mally Mini Shoulder Bag | Convertible Gray-Black Leather Fold-Over Patchwork Purse - 2010-10-27 02:05:26-04
7 Chi has given us a purse that's right on trend, and on budget, with this Mally mini shoulder bag. Rather than a traditional flap design, 7 Chi gives us pretty stitching and ruched details. It's a lot to take in, but in this gentle gray-black shade it never seems too much. A geometric patchwork design [...]
- Donate to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to a Win Kooba Handbag | Unique Breast Cancer Awareness Month Promotion - 2010-10-27 03:05:23-04
Plenty of handbag designers have thrown their support behind Breast Cancer Awareness month, but most of them are also looking to line their own pockets with the release of limited edition pink bags. So it's refreshing to see Kooba doing things a bit differently. Kooba doesn't want you to spend your money on their luxury leather [...]
- Balmain Black City Sequins Bag | Classic Glamorous Square Clutch Purse - 2010-10-27 04:05:53-04
The little black bag gets a stylish makeover here with the Black City Sequins Bag from Balmain. The Parisian fashion house has taken a rather simple classic square clutch and added some serious wow factor by covering it in sequins. Black leather trim and a shiny silver name plate complement the glittering panels. It's a little [...]
- Matthew Williamson Announces Diffusion Line | Affordable Muse Fashion Brand - 2010-10-27 05:05:02-04
If you've always looked longingly at Matthew Williamson's colorful accessories and their beaded accents, you might be in luck. The designer has announced he'll launch a more affordable diffusion collection next fall. The line will be called Muse, and serve as an affordable younger sibling to the British designer's main high-end range. "I'm sick of everybody saying, [...]
- Lux de Ville High Seas Shoulder Handbag | Quilted Blue Pearlized Vinyl Kisslock Anchor Bag - 2010-10-27 06:05:59-04
Lux de Ville offers its take on the nautical trend with this High Seas bag. The biggest problem for me is that it doesn't feel that the brand's tried very hard. The only things that give this bag a maritime feel are its sea blue finish and anchor charms. They're token gestures which come off as [...]
- Mulberry Clipper Small Weekend Bag | Casually Chic Rich Brown Overnighter - 2010-10-27 12:03:23-04
The words "fall" and "getaway" go together like peas and carrots. But what's a stylish city girl to pack all her lovely weekend items in? Handbags are pretty big these days, but not quite big enough for hiking boots and a flat iron. Mulberry brings their classic style to bear on this perfectly minimal Clipper [...]
- Hello Kitty 1978 Synthetic Handbag | Surreal "Riding a Dolphin" Bowler Bag - 2010-10-27 17:21:12-04
Hello Kitty has never designed anything ordinary - but you do have to wonder what psychotropic chemical the designers were on when they envisaged Hello Kitty riding a dolphin! Silly jokes aside, this cheap and cheerful mini bowler will no doubt be much appreciated by all the children out there. You know that phase many girls [...]
- Chloe Marcie Medium Python Bag | Stunning Light Brown Snakeskin Satchel - 2010-10-27 17:59:07-04
Chloe's line of Marcie bags were instantly a hit with celebrities and fashionistas when they came out. This medium sized python version isn't just my favorite of the bunch, it's also my favorite exotic bag of the season. The light brown python skin on this bag has extraordinary natural variation. The rich golden tones practically sparkle [...]
- Jimmy Choo Chandra Elaphe Snakeskin Clutch | Overdone Exotic Silver Evening Bag - 2010-10-28 01:33:56-04
Jimmy Choo had almost completely converted me into a diehard fan until this recent spate of bags. It seems like the line's recently more restrained aesthetic was just a phase, and now we're back to seeing flashy, ovedone pieces like this new version of the Chandra clutch. I adore snakeskin. I always feel a little bad [...]
- Lily Waters Becky Backpack | Colorful Quilted Fabric School Bag - 2010-10-28 02:05:28-04
Lily Waters delivers a feminine take on the casual backpack with this Becky bag. With its softly colored material and quilted finish, this is a great addition to the Lily Waters line. Its look is just what we'd expect from the brand, but its style is a bit more practical. There are plenty of pockets inside [...]
- Michael Kors Video for It Gets Better Project | Gay Handbag Designer Talks About High School Experiences - 2010-10-28 03:05:30-04
Handbag designer Michael Kors is the latest big name to lend his voice to the It Gets Better Project. For those out of the loop, the It Gets Better Project was formulated in September following a spate of teen suicides. The victims were gay teen boys, taunted and tortured by their peers due to their sexuality. The [...]
- BCBG Max Azria Femme Fatale Satchel | Medium Brown Croc-Embossed Leather Handbag - 2010-10-28 04:05:19-04
I'm not sure this BCBG Max Azria satchel has quite the mystery that its name suggests, but there's certainly a seductive quality about the Femme Fatale. The satchel's cool, clean lines are classic, but the deep curved seams give the Femme Fatale a contemporary twist. And then there is that lush croc-embossing, which gives the mocha [...]
- Beautiful People Purses for Everyone | Affordable Handcrafted Leather Bags for Spring 2011 - 2010-10-28 05:05:53-04
You don't need to be a Hollywood glamazon to enjoy the lovely leather purses from the cheekily named label Beautiful People. With the recent launch of its Spring 2011 collection, the brand is beginning to attract some real attention. "When designing Beautiful People, I identified with every woman's concern of style and comfort by creating a [...]
- Nicole Miller Brandy Clutch | Bronze Hard Case Purse with Fabric Gemstones - 2010-10-28 06:05:09-04
Just when all the hard case clutches were beginning to look the same, along comes the very quirky and cool Brandy purse from Nicole Miller. Ordinarily evening purses get their bling from gems and jewels, but not here. Its gems are actually made from material, shaped to give the faceted appearance of precious stones. It's a [...]
- Kate Spade Beantown Tote | Sophisticated Striped Charlie Hobo - 2010-10-28 08:30:19-04
Kate Spade adds some new shapes to her classic collection with this Charlie hobo. I am not used to seeing teardrop shaped purses, and that means that despite the muted and sophisticated colors, you will still have a handbag that stands out from the crowd, looking different from all the classic rectangular totes on the market. Interesting this curving shape [...]
- BE & D Belleville Nickel Clutch | Beautiful Teal Leather Purse - 2010-10-28 09:14:19-04
Just look at that color! Even if everything else about this BE & D clutch happened to be horrible, that vivid shade of electric teal would be enough to make it into something seriously cool. As it happens, however, the rest of this purse isn't horrible by any stretch of the imagination. The design itself, although simple, is actually [...]
- Marc By Marc Jacobs Sophie Leather Satchel | Preppy Utilitarian Olive Green Handbag - 2010-10-28 17:30:41-04
There are ups and downs to the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. Since it's a lower priced diffusion line, they can afford to be more experimental with it than the house collection. That can yield extraordinarily wonderful or terrible results. But with this Sophie satchel, the line has stayed on the conservative side and given [...]
- Anya Hindmarch Miami Patent Leather Card Case | Extravagant Shiny Black Case - 2010-10-28 21:00:06-04
Anya Hindmarch is known for making modern, feminine accessories. Sometimes I find them a bit boring, but not this gorgeous patent leather business card case. This is the kind of luxury item that I can really get behind. The black patent leather on this case is so shiny that you can see your reflection in it. [...]
- Marcela Calvet The Bacall I Bag | Original Hollywood Inspired Lizard Evening Purse - 2010-10-29 02:05:47-04
When my parents welcomed me into their family, their first born, there was only one name they could think of to give me: Lauren. They'd long admired Lauren Bacall on the big screen, and thought if their daughter could inherit a little of her beauty, strength, and grace she'd be a lucky girl indeed. Now [...]

- Vanessa Bruno Athe Porte Monnaie Wallet | Simple Purple Pebbled Leather Tassel Zips Purse - 2010-10-29 04:05:13-04
Vanessa Bruno keeps things chic and simple with this Athe Porte Monnaie Wallet. That name is a bit of a mouthful, but the purse behind it is far less fancy. This really is a stock standard wallet, with a few appealing perks. The tassels hanging from the zipper pulls give it a bit of a boho [...]
- Christian Siriano Expands Affordable Line for Payless | Project Runway Designer Signs Multi-Year Deal - 2010-10-29 05:05:12-04
Christian Siriano is one of my favorite Project Runway discoveries, and his affordable shoes and handbags for Payless have been fabulous and fierce. So I'm thrilled to see there's much more where they came from. Siriano has just signed a new multi-year deal with Payless Shoesource, which will see his accessories line expanded over the coming [...]
- Coach Madison Hippie Shoulder Bag | Convertible Pleated Apricot Leather Purse - 2010-10-29 06:05:35-04
There's not a hint of tie dye to be seen in this unusually conservative Madison Hippie shoulder bag from Coach. I'm not quite sure what inspired the name, as this bag doesn't appear to be rebelling against the man in the slightest. But I do like the quiet, classic looks of this pale apricot purse. There [...]
- Proenza Schouler PS 11 Small Leather Satchel | Long-Awaited Gorgeous Minimal Messenger - 2010-10-29 23:22:37-04
When Proenza Schouler finally released their accessories line in 2008, the minimal, unisex bags flew off the shelves. Since then, everyone has been waiting for an encore. This much anticipated new satchel retains Proenza Schouler's pared down design sensibility, but adds a few new flourishes. This clean cut black leather messenger design is anything but simple [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Beverley Stamped Leather Clutch | Affordably Chic Snakeskin Embossed Foldover Bag - 2010-10-29 23:55:14-04
Michael Kors is not one of my favorite designers, but every now and again he makes something fabulous the reminds me why he's one of the most prominent American designers today. This Beverley clutch is a simple, elegant bag with a little bit of edge that will easily become a wardrobe staple. I am notoriously dubious [...]
- Jimmy Choo Blythe Large Perforated Handbag | Edgy Black Biker Chic Satchel - 2010-10-30 01:30:40-04
Jimmy Choo has been a little bit inconsistent, lately, sometimes putting out timeless classics with a little edgy charm, but sometimes putting out flashy over-the-top bags that are barely wearable. This Blythe bag, fortunately, is one of the better Choo bags I've seen, lately. There's something about perforated black leather that automatically calls to mind motorcycles. [...]
- B. Makowsky Sydney Satchel | Aqua Synthetic Pyramid Studded Handbag - 2010-10-30 02:05:09-04
If you're not quite prepared to let go of studs yet, this Sydney Satchel from B. Makowsky could be your bag. The designer shows uncharacteristic restraint, using rows of pyramid studs along the tops of the front slip pockets to add edge without overwhelming the satchel. B. Makowsky has never been a designer to embrace white [...]
- Kotur Introduce Affordable Day Bags | Exotic Trimmed Handbags for Spring/Summer 2011 - 2010-10-30 03:05:48-04
Kotur first made its foray into larger handbags in the middle of this year. There were just a couple of these luxurious creatures to choose from, rendered in metallic haircalf and authentic python. I coveted them, but could never justify their high prices. So I'm thrilled to see that Kotur's next collection will feature more [...]
- Donald J Pliner Abina Hobo | Elegant Boho Beige Nubuck Leather Handbag - 2010-10-30 04:05:58-04
Donald J Pliner brings us bohemian vibes, and plenty of style, with this elegant Abina hobo. All too often boho-styled bags feel a bit slovenly. But not the Abina, who favors a clean bucket shape and a sophisticated, unadorned design. I thought the soft finish may be suede at first, but was thrilled to see that [...]
- Harveys Makes Barbie Seatbelt Purses | Barbiebag Accessories Celebrate 51st Anniversary of Famous Doll - 2010-10-30 05:05:13-04
Harveys is getting in touch with its inner child for its next collection, a homage to everyone's favorite doll Barbie.

Reed Krakoff's new line is one of the most celebrated of the season. The Boxer II is one of the centerpieces of the line, with its classic, conservative good looks.

- Jessica Simpson Lilly Clutch | Affordable Studded Black Synthetic Convertible Purse - 2010-10-31 22:33:20-04
For an affordable clutch that can easily take you from day to night, look no further than the Lilly purse from Jessica Simpson. This clutch won't work for a posh soiree, but if you're taking in a movie or hitting a club its urban styling will fit right in. I was beginning to suffer from stud [...]
- Alaia Leather Bowling Bag | Simple Downtown Chic Black Black Bag - 2010-10-31 22:34:04-04

Now, his sleek, feminine staples like this bowling bag are being [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Patent Crocodile Long Clutch | Exotic Red Exotic-Skinned Evening Bag - 2010-10-31 23:18:45-04
Nancy Gonzalez is my kind of designer. She keeps her craftsmanship impeccable and local. The materials from her bags all come from her own farms in Colombia, where the bags themselves are handcrafted. She uses the most exotic skins, but keeps her prices reasonable. This long patent crocodile clutch is just another amazing bag in [...]

- Vera Bradley Get Carried Away Tote Bag | Practical Bali Blue Floral Purse - 2010-11-01 00:00:36-04
At first glance it seems that the only thing Vera Bradley's gotten carried away with is the detailed print. But there's more to this Get Carried Away tote than meets the eye. While it looks like so many Vera Bradley bags, with its intricate pattern and quilted fabric body, this is actually one of the designer's [...]
- Jimmy Choo Ubai Leopard Print Leather Wallet | Stylish And Practical Animal Print Wallet - 2010-11-01 00:30:29-04
Jimmy Choo's designs have women the world over swooning. I am, at best, an ambivalent fan of the line. but accessories like this Ubai wallet make me wonder about my ambivalence. This is one eye-catching accessory. I love smooth-grained leather, but I love it even more when it has a fabulous animal print. Leopard print has [...]

Even if you aren't much for animal print, you may find yourself drawn to this ultra-chic calf hair tote by Alaia. The subtle, voluptuous design makes a statement without looking pretentious. While I happen to be into animal prints, I'm not always into calf hair. If it isn't done well, it can make a simple, clean [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Billion Bucks A-Line Shopper | Bone Colored Buckle Tabs Handbag - 2010-11-01 02:05:48-04
This Kathy Van Zeeland handbag doesn't cost a billion bucks, and it won't really make you look a billion bucks either. But this surprisingly conservative handbag from Kathy Van Zeeland is one of the designer's better purses. With all those buckled tabs and rows of studs, we can't really call the design minimalist. But when compared [...]
- Unnur's Sea Leather Handbags | Purses Made from Fish - 2010-11-01 03:05:14-04
There's something just a little bit fishy about the purses from Unnur, an Icelandic label which crafts its handbags from "sea leather." Designer Unnur Fridriksdottir uses the skins of farm-grown Icelandic salmon and African perch to create her modern purses. While the approach might not please animal lovers, as the fish are farm grown the business [...]
- Carlo Fellini Elizabeth Clutch | Soft Satin Rhinestone Flower Purse - 2010-11-01 04:05:59-04
There's certainly something regal about this elegant Elizabeth clutch from Carlo Fellini. The soft satin body is swept up into a rhinestone flower, which adds just the right amount of bling to the purse. The white and golden petal stones are a tad ostentatious, but that only adds to the clutch's royal feel. I also think [...]
- Hung on U Retro Bags for Charity | Celebrity Designed Purses for Children's Disease Research - 2010-11-01 05:05:55-04
Supermodel Patti Hansen and her pal and manager Molly Madden longed for the practical bags they used to carry at Studio 54. They approached DKP Designs' Debi Koppel and Hung on U was born.

- Tignanello Polished Pockets Convertible Satchel | Sophisticated Traditional Leather Handbag - 2010-11-01 06:05:47-04
Tignanello isn't very fashion forward, but if you're looking for classic looks and traditional styling there are few brands in this price bracket that do it better.

- Treesje Slate Plaited Clutch | Nude Leather Evening Bag - 2010-11-01 08:35:37-04
Plaits are big in the accessories market this winter, as they seem to be popping up all over the place. They add a simple glamour without having to over-embellish. This Treesje clutch uses the plait decoration in quite an unusual way. The coordinating leather loops around the curved handbag, and actually has a strange belting effect. Whilst without this detail the [...]
