Hi mary,

Check out the latest handbag fashion news and review at BagBunch.com:

1. Hobo International Caralee Chain Cross-Body Bag | Elegant Vintage Style Taupe Purse - 2010-11-08 05:05:08-05
   Hobo International's traditional styling has made it a favorite amongst conservative fashion fans, but I must admit many of its accessories leave me a bit bored. So when one catches my eye like the Caralee it's reason to take a closer look. This cross-body purse is simple but so compelling with its clean curved shape and [...]
   
2. Hype Cindy Studded Clutch | Electric Blue Abstract Purse - 2010-11-08 16:04:25-05
   I am of the opinion you simply can't go wrong with an electric blue handbag - especially if you team it with electric blue shoes! If you disagree, then I present the Hype Cindy clutch to dispel those silly ideas! The thing with a bright color like this blue suede is that you have to let both [...]
   
3. Sara Berman Mini Jivvy Studded Leather Bag | Sunny Yellow Shoulder Bag Covered In Studs - 2010-11-08 19:46:23-05
   I find something sort of irritating about the introduction of a pale yellow tote in the fall. Perhaps it's because the crisp air just doesn't beg for pastels, but it could just be a matter of personal preference. Individual taste aside, the Mini Jivvy has some questionable design elements that make it a pretty [...]
   
4. Valentino Rosette Small Leather Chain Strap Bag | Sweet And Simple Flower-Shaped Evening Bag - 2010-11-09 00:00:51-05
   Valentino is one of the foremost designers of this century. When he retired, everyone wondered would happen to his extraordinary line. With only a few exceptions, the line has continued to flourish, and it's bags like the Rosette, which harken back to Valentino's feminine aesthetic, that are the reason why. The small round shape of this [...]
   
5. Big Buddha Cammy Hobo | Curlicue Stitched White Frilly Flap Handbag - 2010-11-09 01:05:39-05
   Looking every bit as cute as its name suggests, meet the Cammy hobo from Big Buddha. Hobo bags tend to be bohemian affairs, but this one is much more feminine. The white synthetic works well with the dainty curlicue stitching. And isn't that soft ruffled flap much more interesting than any traditional fold-over closure? This amps [...]
   
6. Norton MacCullough & Locke Customized Small Leather Goods | Personalized British Purses - 2010-11-09 02:05:34-05
   Fledgling London design firm Norton MacCullough & Locke has just released a brand new range of custom small leather goods. The collection features iPhone and iPad cases, document wallets, passport covers, and card holders. These small items are a great alternative to Norton MacCullough & Locke's custom luggage if you're short on cash, although customizable accessories [...]
   
7. Ed Hardy Heather Satchel | Floral Yellow Handbag with Plastic Chain - 2010-11-09 03:05:23-05
   There are only so many sneering geisha prints and skulls a girl can bear, so I'm thrilled to see Ed Hardy exploring its softer side with the Heather satchel. Rather than the edgy tattoo prints the label typically favors, it serves up a garden of cheery yellow flowers. The blooms appear to be wrapped in that [...]
   
8. Tamara Mellon and Anya Hindmarch Named Business Ambassadors | Handbag Designers Take On Government Positions - 2010-11-09 04:05:34-05
   British Prime Minister David Cameron has appointed Jimmy Choo boss Tamara Mellon and handbag designer Anya Hindmarch as roving business ambassadors. The fashionable ladies are amongst 32 company heads who will promote United Kingdom trade around the world. The women will work for free leading foreign trade missions, advising ministers on how to bypass red tape, [...]
   
9. 7 Chi Gloria Foldover Shoulder Bag | Convertible Patchwork Leather Handbag - 2010-11-09 05:05:41-05
   Patchwork bags are enjoying a bit of a renaissance these days. Forget those tired old multicolored patches and the Coach signature swatches of old; these days patchwork bags feature much cooler, complementary designs. This Gloria shoulder bag from 7 Chi is a relatively affordable way to enjoy the trend. I say relatively affordable, because at $176 [...]
   
10. Serpui Marie Marcia Tote | Luxury Quilted Brazilian Leather Purse - 2010-11-09 08:40:10-05
    A handbag from Serpui Marie that isn't made of straw?! Remarkable! Yes, here we have the rare and fabled beast that is the Marcia tote, a contribution from the kings of raffia and straw that has, instead, opted for a thick and luxurious brown leather body. Not to be outdone by the higher decoration of straw handbags, this bag features a combination of [...]
    
11. Timmy Woods Lioness with Stones Clutch | Novelty Luxury Minaudiere - 2010-11-09 17:15:42-05
    Have you ever wished that you had a handbag with a lion on it? No?! Well, maybe the Lioness with Stones clutch from Timmy Woods will make your realise what you nearly missed out on! As always, this novelty clutch is in no way serious. It is designed to resemble a Greek or Aztec seal - [...]
    
12. Halston Heritage Maritza Suede Clutch | Gorgeous Understated Black Evening Bag - 2010-11-09 23:41:59-05
    When Halston chose Sarah Jessica Parker as their Creative Director, the fashion world was turned upside down. Even fans of SJP wondered if she had the chops to actually design clothes and accessories, as opposed to just looking good in them. But her simple, chic, and affordable designs are making a big hit and proving [...]
    
13. Jimmy Choo Brix Leather And Snakeskin Buckled Clutch | Rockstar Fabulous Black Buckled Bag - 2010-11-10 00:28:10-05
    Recently, Jimmy Choo has been putting out a steady supply of street smart styles. They have the remarkable distinction of being both edgy and elegant. This Brix leather clutch is one of my favorite of the bunch, and it might be one of my favorite bags of fall. The wrinkled matte black leather looks fabulous with [...]
    
14. Balmain Crystal Lovers Glitter Top Handle Satchel | Gold Crystal Frame Carryall Bag - 2010-11-10 01:05:49-05
    We've all admired Balmain's stylish clutch purses, but with this Crystal Lovers Satchel the label shows it can deliver just as much glamour on a larger scale. This is the kind of satchel that you either love or hate. All those glittering Swarovski crystals see to that. But strangely I don't mind this level of bling. [...]
    
15. Leitmotiv's The Little Prince Purses for Furla | Capsule Collection Inspired by Children's Book - 2010-11-10 02:05:09-05
    Artistic duo Leitmotiv has already injected Furla bags with whimsical patterns from Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz. For their latest Furla collection, Juan Caro and Fabio Sasso have again looked to the world of literature; their new line is inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's children's tale The Little Prince. The spring/summer 2011 collection features [...]
    
16. Lux de Ville Sparrows Half Moon Clutch | Black Purse with Cut Out Handles - 2010-11-10 03:05:10-05
    We've oft criticized Lux de Ville accessories for looking a little cheap and tacky, but I think the retro label's finally gotten things right with the Sparrows Half Moon Clutch. The sparrows adorning the clutch are an inspired choice. They add a whimsical femininity which seems perfectly placed against the purse's unusual half-moon shape. In simple [...]
    
17. Equestrian Bags from Horse+Nail | Luxury Custom Horse Hardware Handbags - 2010-11-10 04:05:28-05
    Many fashion labels attempt to give their accessories an equestrian feel, but few do it as convincingly as Horse+Nail. This quirky New York based label uses real horse tacks and other authentic equestrian hardware to give its collection a quirky frontier vibe. The hardware is paired with handpicked Italian leather and detachable tassels to create purses [...]
    
18. Lily Waters Betsy Satchel | Quilted Floral Carryall Handbag - 2010-11-10 05:05:24-05
    Lily Waters stamps her trademark style onto this Betsy satchel. The satchel reminded me of a weekender bag when I first spotted it, so I was surprised by its medium dimensions. You might be able to use it as an overnighter, but it's probably more appropriate as an everyday handbag rather than a travel bag. That everyday [...]
    
19. Jazzd Twiggy Crossbody Baguette | Metallic Twisted Rosette Purse - 2010-11-10 17:22:11-05
    Unusual design at a bargain basement price can be hard to find. Have we got a contender though with this Jazzd Twiggy baguette? The price for this metallic handbag is just $34.99, a bargain in the current market and especially for one that has a feature that stands out from the rest. As well as the [...]
    
20. Sara Barman Mini Decca Studded Leather Hobo Bag | Chocolate Brown Urban Essential - 2010-11-10 20:19:23-05
    Sara Berman is a newcomer to the fashion scene, and as such, she is still defining how she will be seen as a designer. So far, I would describe her designs as urban, modern, and a little trendy. Personally, I would take about half her bags and leave the other half. This Mini Decca has [...]
    
21. Jimmy Choo Bali Woven Raffia Hobo Bag | Eco-Chic Slouchy Woven Bag - 2010-11-11 00:05:17-05
    Jimmy Choo's sophisticated designs have been defining urban fashion for a decade, which is why I find it somewhat confusing when he adopts arsty-craftsy techniques and materials like woven raffia. But, Choo brings his own unique sense of refinement to everyday materials in bags like this Bali hobo, and the results are beautiful. This pale, bleached [...]
    
22. BCBG Max Azria Convertible Clutch | Elegant Ruched White Leather Purse - 2010-11-11 01:36:56-05
    BCBG Max Azria reminds us of the beauty of simple, sophisticated design with this elegant Convertible Clutch. There's not a hint of fad following here. The design is all about classic looks, from the polished logo plate to the gently ruched flap. The color choices of antique white and indigo are traditional too, but that doesn't [...]
    
23. Lulu Guinness Releases New Limited Edition Fan Clutches | Purses for Charity and English Stars - 2010-11-11 02:09:55-05
    I wasn't sure how you could improve on the perfection of Lulu Guinness' popular fan clutches, but then again I'm not a designer. The creative Brit has done the seemingly impossible with the release of three new purses. The pictured fan clutch is perhaps the most exciting, as it's the result of a recent collaboration with [...]
    
24. Nicole Miller Kinjah Computer Tote | Camouflage Print Polyester Laptop Bag - 2010-11-11 03:05:23-05
    After drooling over so many unique evening bags from the Nicole Miller stable, I was surprised to come across this much more relaxed Kinjah laptop tote. This computer bag shows us a very different side of the label, although there are a few touches that stay true to its trademark glitz. I'm not sure these elements [...]
    
25. Marni's New Holiday Totes | Limited Edition Bags for Children in Poverty - 2010-11-11 04:05:59-05
    We've often talked about our reluctance to shell out more than $100 on a canvas tote, but Marni's new holiday bag make me want to bend the rules. One side of the tote is patterned with Marni's printed fabrics of collections gone by, while the other is embellished with the hopeful sketches of underprivileged children dreaming [...]
    
26. Menbur Ruffled Satin Clutch | Affordable Layered Evening Bag - 2010-11-11 10:08:51-05
    Although pretty, this layered satin clutch from Menbur reminds me somewhat of a roof tiled in slate. I think it is the pattern, and the way those folded ruffles slope out from the curved metal clasp. Still, no matter, because as it happens that is an effect I have to admit to enjoying! Satin evening bags are two a penny, [...]
    
27. Coccinelle Raquel Patchwork Tote | Luxury Pleated Leather Hold-all - 2010-11-11 17:58:52-05
    Why have just one leather when you can have three?! This Coccinelle patchwork tote neatly combines soft brown suede, glossy snakeskin-embossed leather, and simple smooth chocolate leather. Were these in different colors the effect would be a little over the top, but the consistent brown shade means that instead you just have a range of textures [...]
    
28. 3.1 Phillip Lim Rosey Stud-Embellished Leather Clutch | Perfect Punk Rock Chic Leather Bag - 2010-11-11 18:14:14-05
    Looking back on my reviews of Phillip Lim bags, they almost always start out with a declaration of my love for them. He has an uncanny ability to take current trends and make them his own. He also puts out accessories in limited numbers, which makes them even more special. Phillip Lim is a [...]
    
29. Marcela Calvet Horne Clutch | Sophisticated Glazed Alligator Purse - 2010-11-11 20:08:56-05
    Marcela Calvet allows her luxury materials to shine with the simple design of this handcrafted Horne clutch. After all, when you've got glazed Caiman alligator skin you don't want any details to distract. The simple flap clutch design and lack of hardware allows that exotic skin to shine. If you're worried about the effect of your [...]
    
30. Alexander McQueen Skull Print Laptop Case | Practical Punk Protective Sleeve - 2010-11-12 00:25:40-05
    The holiday season is coming, and it's time to start making your naughty & nice list of fashionistas. Even the naughty ones deserve a little something special, and this laptop sleeve from fashion's favorite bad boy, Alexander McQueen, sure is something special. The durable canvas sleeve has McQueen's signature skull print in laid back black and [...]
    
31. Alaia Leather Tote Bag | Minimalist Basic Black Carryall Handbag - 2010-11-12 01:05:24-05
    A bag doesn't always need flash and frills to turn heads. It might be basic, but I can find a lot to like about this Alaia leather tote bag. In the same vein of the label's bowler bag, Alaia has created a tote which favors traditional design elements over fleeting trends. The cinched in shape is [...]
    
32. Hermes Sales Increase | Handbag Brand on Target for Record Yearly Profits - 2010-11-12 02:05:22-05
    Hermes continues to go from strength to strength, with the luxury French brand posting a 30% increase in revenue for the year's third quarter. The greater sales figures are credited to the success of the label's famous accessories, including silk scarves, timepieces and, of course, handbags. While It bags like the Birkin and Kelly always sell [...]
    
33. Prezzo Animal Sequin Tote | Large Glitzy Zebra Striped Bag - 2010-11-12 03:05:16-05
    Prezzo's always been a label that embraces glitz and glamour, but even I was taken aback by the gaudiness of the brand's Animal Sequin tote. This is not a bag that could ever fade into the background. Zebra stripes are already eye-catching, but when they're rendered with metallic sequins they're absolutely dazzling. On a smaller bag [...]
    
34. Givenchy Sues BCBG Max Azria | Luxury Label Claims Rembrandt Copies Nightingale's Stitched Stripes - 2010-11-12 04:05:51-05
    Some say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but fashion brands seem to take mimicry a little harder than most. The latest label to get litigious is Givenchy, who has launched a suit against BCBG Max Azria. Givenchy claims that BCBG Max Azria's Rembrandt handbag bears more than a passing resemblance to its own [...]
    
35. Elliott Lucca Teba Flap Tote Bag | Convertible Pleated Leather Backpack - 2010-11-12 05:05:20-05
    I haven't carried a backpack since I graduated from high school, but this stylish Teba bag has me reevaluating my stance. This clever convertible tote is really like three bags in one. Multiple anchor points and straps allow you to carry it as a tote over your arm, a cross-body bag, or even a backpack with [...]
    
36. Mary Frances Accessories Turkish Nights Clutch | Decorative Beaded Turquoise Minaudiere - 2010-11-12 09:23:08-05
    Mary Frances Accessories has finally managed to combine decorative detailing with a purse that isn't too over-the-top in this Turkish Nights minaudiere. Perhaps the rather simple color scheme is what sets this beaded clutch apart from the other eccentric purses in Mary Frances' collection. Instead of a multicolored cacophony, this handbag features a mix of bright but ever-popular turquoise stone beads, [...]
    
37. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cameron Leather And Silk Flower Clutch | Gorgeous Avant Garde Floral Bag - 2010-11-12 22:04:14-05
    Floral bags have been a really big hit this season. I've seen floral printed fabrics, embroidered flowers, and leather-shaped flower adornments, but I haven't seen anything like this. Phillip Lim's unique design sensibility is showcased beautifully on this Cameron clutch. The body of the bag is black leather, but it's covered in a fabric that is [...]
    
38. Marc Jacobs Small Single Quilted Leather Bag | Classy Quilted Ivory Everyday Bag - 2010-11-13 00:45:17-05
    Marc Jacobs line of Single bags recall some of fashion's favorite bags from years past. They combine some of the flashiness of the 90's with the refinement of the 1940's, and they do so in a beautifully cohesive way. This small version of the Single is one of my favorites. The creamy color of the quilted [...]
    
39. Latico Vyntage Braided Baguette | Classic Medium Burgundy Leather Shoulder Bag - 2010-11-13 01:05:22-05
    I've always admired the retro flair of accessories from Latico's Vyntage collection, and this braided baguette is no exception. What the line cleverly creates the perfect balance between vintage design and contemporary style. The clean baguette shape is given interest with some carefully placed, curved seams. The braided shoulder strap is another feature designed to make [...]
    
40. Kilian Hennessy Designs Clutch Purses | By Kilian Bags from Perfume King - 2010-11-13 02:05:52-05
    Most of us know Kilian Hennessy as a perfume maven, but the fragrance king hopes we come to recognize him as a handbag designer. He's about to make his first foray into the world of accessories with the launch of his By Kilian collection. The range features just six clutch purses, but they're real beauties. These [...]
    
41. Dooney & Bourke Plaid Barrel Satchel | Classic Preppy Tartan Leather Trimmed Handbag - 2010-11-13 03:05:21-05
    I was beginning to tire of Dooney & Bourke's childish signature prints and whimsical motifs, so I'm thrilled to see the label trying something more grown up. This Plaid Barrel Satchel sees the youth brand in preppy mode. While the hues of this plaid bag are a bit different from the iconic Nova check, I can [...]
    
42. Be Inthavong's New Heritage Weave Bags | Be & D Designer's Laos Inspired Woven Handbag Collection - 2010-11-13 04:05:06-05
    One half of Be & D, designer Be Inthavong, is stepping out his own for the launch of his Heritage Weave collection. The line is a result of Inthavong's recent trip to Laos, where he sought to reconnect with his roots. The simply designed accessories are made from tiny strips of leather woven together inspired by [...]
    
43. Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile iPhone Case | Sleek And Luxurious Cell Phone Sleeve - 2010-11-13 17:26:36-05
    It seems like everyone has an iPhone these days. Even Blackberry diehards are being seduced by Apple's array of Apps. And there's no shortage of cases for them, either. They range from hard rubber casings that make the iPhone look like a mini-Hummer to sparkly, rhinestone-encrusted princess cases. An elegant in-between is remarkably hard to [...]
    
44. Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-Detailed Suede Clutch | Low Key Evening Bag With Flashy Details - 2010-11-13 21:00:02-05
    To be honest, I've never really thought much of Giueseppe Zanotti as a designer. His work is expensive and trendy, and not always terribly original. But this suede clutch is making me think differently, because it has a sophisticated style all its own. The best thing about this bag is that it has a lot of [...]
    
45. Alexander Wang Trudy Leather Tote | Fabulous Nude Zipper-Embellished Carryall - 2010-11-14 00:30:50-05
    Alexander Wang's emphasis on quality over quantity has made him a cult favorite in the fashion world. He's something of a designer's designer, meaning that he's very influential and an editorial favorite. This Trudy bag is a great example of his cutting edge design sensibility at work. This pale, pink-y nude is the color of the [...]
    
46. Nicole Lee Selena Ferris-Wheel Tassel Boston Bag | Metal Detailed Synthetic Blue Handbag - 2010-11-14 01:05:35-05
    Boston bags have always been a little bit staid for my tastes, and I've longed for a designer to come along and give the style some much needed pizzazz. You know what they say about being careful what you wish for. Nicole Lee has taken the classic Boston bag silhouette and bedazzled it. There's just so [...]
    
47. Bolingo Bags New Holiday Collection | Exotic Handmade Fair Trade Handbag - 2010-11-14 02:05:20-05
    Fair trade handbag label Bolingo Bags has just released a new holiday collection to celebrate the end of 2010. The purses feature exotic skins in playful, seasonal shades. "There's no better way for the discriminating woman to enhance her holiday look than with an ostrich and crocodile handbag in a rich shade of bronze or cypress [...]
    
48. Ed Hardy Regina Bowler | Tattoo Graphic Handbag with Heart Shaped Coin Purse - 2010-11-14 03:05:47-05
    I believe there are two kinds of fashion fans in this world: the ones who adore Ed Hardy's designs and the ones that don't. I've come to this realization after much time spent trying to warm to the tattoo prints and bold colors. I'm sorry Ed Hardy; I just can't do it. I can see the [...]
    
49. Donna Karan Releases Python Anniversary Bag | New Shoulder Purse Marks 25 Years in Fashion - 2010-11-14 04:05:07-05
    Donna Karan is celebrating 25 years in the fashion business, which can only mean one thing: a collection of limited edition handbags to mark the occasion. First cab off the ranks is this ultra luxurious Python Anniversary Large Shoulder Bag. The authentic python skin is the big draw card here in that deep, emerald green color. [...]
    
50. Jimmy Choo Saba Textured Leather Tote | Chic Black Wave Textured Shoulder Bag - 2010-11-14 06:00:11-05
    Jimmy Choo's designs have been getting edgier and edgier the past few seasons. They haven't just been getting edgier, either, they've been getting more and more innovative. His latest textured bags are some of my favorite that the line has ever put out, and the Saba is one of them. The black leather strips that make [...]
    
51. Marc By Marc Jacobs Shifty Leather Tote | Super Cool Urban Carryall - 2010-11-14 20:38:17-05
    Oh, Marc Jacobs, what would fashion do without you? You've brought your irreverent design sensibility to bear on American clothing in a permanently transformative way. This Shifty tote is a perfect example of Jacabs' quirky style. The smooth black leather is supple, with a muted gloss. The discreet gold hardware is a low key, upscale touch, [...]
    
52. Jimmy Choo Alba Medium Leather Bag | Gorgeous Tan Patchworg Bag With Wave Effect - 2010-11-15 00:00:11-05
    Jimmy Choo's new designs are making waves. Literally. The line's new wave-textured bags are extraordinarily innovative and beautiful. This Alba Tote is a fabulous new addition to Jimmy Choo's repertoire. I'm crazy for the tan color of the Alba. It's something between light brown and a pinkish nude, and very of-the-moment. Stylish though the color may [...]
    
53. Chinese Laundry Patent Briefcase | Red Cross-Body Style Laptop Carrier Office Bag - 2010-11-15 01:05:04-05
    Most of the briefcases we've featured on Bag Bunch are luxurious creatures with European styling and Italian leather. It's easy to justify the splurge on a bag that will be by your side from nine to five, but what do you do if you're still sitting on the bottom of the corporate ladder? If your [...]
    
54. Diego Rocha Opens Chicago Boutique | Handbag Designer Gets First Store - 2010-11-15 02:05:31-05
    After years selling his purses in department stores like Macy's, Brazilian handbag designer Diego Rocha has opened the doors of his first boutique. Now you can buy Diego Rocha handbags on his own turf at 1050 North State Street on Chicago's Gold Coast. The store showcases Rocha's luxurious bags which are all handcrafted from high-quality animal [...]
    
55. Chocolate Aubrey Bucket Bag | Classic Black Bag with Edgy Strap - 2010-11-15 03:05:23-05
    Chocolate brings a bit of flair to the traditional bucket bag with the Aubrey. At first glance it seems like so many bucket bags, with its clean lines and distinctive silhouette. But Chocolate helps to set the purse apart with the strap, which is accented with laced grommets and edgy chains. I really like the approach, [...]
    
56. Poketo's New Recycled Leather Handbags | Eco-Friendly Purses with Shirt Linings - 2010-11-15 04:05:33-05
    We marveled at the recycled suit jackets released by Poketo earlier this year, but I'm quietly thrilled to see the Los Angeles label putting its penchant for eco-friendly design into more wearable accessories. Its latest line takes tired leather clothing and upholstery and reinvents the pieces as posh handbags. The collection ranges from quirky diamond shaped [...]
    
57. Nine West Star Bright Clutch | Small Black Versatile Convertible Stud Clutch - 2010-11-15 05:05:08-05
    With its day-to-night style and versatile carrying options, this Star Bright clutch from Nine West might just be the purse you've been wishing for. The name comes from the smattering of studs across the clutch's surface. These shiny accents remind us of the stars twinkling in the night sky, especially on the black bag. That astrological [...]
