- Menbur Pisanello Satin Clutch | Flower Decorated Metal Minaudiere - 2011-02-14 15:55:36-05
Today I wanted to write about a purse that was romantic and pretty - but whilst avoiding writing about yet another handbag that is either heart-shaped or covered in the damn things! And so I came across this glittery little purse from Menbur. It ticks all the boxes, but in an unusual round shape. This set it apart, and made it worth [...]
- Bally Macy Medium Tote | Geometric Striped and Dotted Leather Bag - 2011-02-14 16:53:20-05
I know we have featured the Macy tote before, but I just had to share this unusual pattern with you. This super luxurious leather Bally tote has been updated for the 21st century - or maybe for the 22nd! You see, instead of any already done pattern, Bally has given a thoroughly modern print. Part bold zebra stripes, [...]
- DKNY Crocodile Effect Leather Bag | Cool Blue Croc Clutch - 2011-02-14 17:52:22-05
DKNY is one of those lines that I want to like a lot more than I actually do. They do, after all, make affordable versions of current trends. But sometimes they don't quite hit the nail on the head. This croc effect leather clutch is a good example of why I feel so ambivalent towards [...]
- Marni Ribbon Trimmed Square Leather Tote | Unusual Blueberry Leather Tote - 2011-02-14 19:00:30-05
Marni's sometimes unorthodox approach to design is often to my liking. They take a lot of risks, though, which means that sometimes things don't always come out perfectly. Unfortunately, while the design of this bag is interesting, it's not particularly appealing. The blueberry color of the leather on this bag is really unique. It's a cross [...]
- Hillary Clinton Loves Salvatore Ferragamo Handbag | Secretary of State Talks About Favorite Pink Purse - 2011-02-14 21:58:25-05
I've never considered Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a girly girl, but in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar she tells of her fondess for handbags, particularly her new favorite Salvatore Ferragamo purse. "I do love a good handbag," she admitted. "I think no one should make fun of anyone else's handbag choices. I have this [...]
- Sun N' Sand Feline Face Coin Purse | Colorful Cat Shaped Money Bag - 2011-02-14 22:28:25-05
It might leave traditionalists cold, but cat lovers and fans of kooky fashion are sure to embrace this Feline Face coin purse from Sun N' Sand. The label typically offers casual beach-themed purses, but this is one is much more creative and off the wall. I can't imagine carrying a tote with this style, but as [...]
- Marc by Marc Jacobs Hayley Leather Tote | Sophisticated Tailored Black Leather Tote - 2011-02-14 23:00:27-05
The Marc by Marc Jacobs line has taken a turn for the traditional this season. They've cut down on the showier, edgier styles and focused on ladylike tailoring and timeless looks. Luckily, they've still retained that Marc Jacobs quirkiness, and I'm a big fan of the new direction. In an economy like this, it's hard [...]
- Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen's New Handbags | The Row Releases Fall Accessories - 2011-02-14 23:21:56-05
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's luxe The Row collection will have a brand new addition this fall: handbags! The stylish twins have created purses that are every bit as opulent as the rest of their pieces, including crocodile clutches, a petite satchel dramatically covered in ostrich feathers, and a unique Twin purse. This unusual piece is actually [...]
- Susan Farber Sicily Hobo | Ruffled Zipper Accent Waxed Leather Handbag - 2011-02-14 23:59:02-05
Hobos are typically boho-chic, but this Sicily hobo from Susan Farber is more rock chick than flower child. The first thing you notice is those wild ruffled sides, which give the Sicily an edgy feminine appearance. All those frills never look too girly though thanks to the dark colored leather and shiny zippered edging. The design [...]
- Tano Petit Larceny Bag | Blue Crunch Leather Utilitarian Cross-Body Messenger - 2011-02-15 01:05:39-05
Tano has made this Petit Larceny bag for girls who love no fuss, and no frills style. In a world of frilly, embellished handbag the tough style of this purse really stands out. It gets its personality not from sequins or studs, but from buckled details and that weathered looking crunch leather. In this bold electric [...]
- Savanna Metal Mesh Cross-Body | Glamorous Gold Diamond Clasp Evening Bag - 2011-02-15 08:08:22-05
Savanna join the mesh handbag market with this cute little cross body. I find that metal mesh works best when it is left to speak for itself. Any embellishment generally makes the purse look kind of ridiculous, and therefore it is nice to see that Savanna have elected to keep this golden evening bag nice and plain. Of course, [...]
- Elaine Turner Bianca Basketweave Clutch | Retro Snakeskin Woven Purse - 2011-02-15 17:25:36-05
Elaine Turner clearly thought that her Bianca clutch was good enough to produce a second version, but rather than sticking with the way it was before, she has revamped it. Gone is the exotic exterior, replaced instead with a basket-weave body. By changing the materials, the Elaine is transformed. The purse you see before you is a retro [...]
- Miu Miu Large Leather Tote | A Modern Classic Brown Leather Carryall - 2011-02-15 17:48:04-05
You know it's a recession when all the most fashionable handbags start coming in brown leather. Even Miu Miu, known for taking aesthetic risks, is playing it a little safer this season. It's a good move on their part. Their ostentatious style is a little unreliable, but this leather tote is pretty classic. I'm not crazy [...]
- Bottega Veneta Veneta Intrecciato Leather Bag | Amazing Brown Ombre Hobo - 2011-02-15 18:17:46-05
Bottega Veneta is a line that has changed my mind about a lot of things. First, they convinced me that woven bags are okay with their beautiful intrecciato technique, and now they're doing the same with ombre coloring. This Veneta hobo is a beautiful and unique addition to the line. The intrecciato weaving is, as usual, [...]
- Carrie Ella Carmichael's Chicago Showroom | Designer Opens First Boutique - 2011-02-15 19:07:08-05
Designer Carrie Ella Carmichael will open the doors of her first showroom on March 1. The space at 4043 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, showcases her Dream Bag Boutique Design Lounge and Carrie Ella Handbag Collection. "I wanted to bring true luxury to women who look to enjoy perfectly crafted Italian handbags without paying a premium price for [...]
- Gucci Craft Canvas And Leather Tote | Overpriced Cotton Carryall - 2011-02-15 20:00:29-05
I am so tired of designers making canvas bags, throwing a label on them and charging $1,000 plus. Seriously, unless you absolutely have to have a giant logo on your bag or you have oodles of cash, what do you need with a $1,000 cotton tote. Gucci, I am sorely disappointed in you for this [...]
- Temperley London Celestial Coin Purse | Petrol Blue Studded Leather Wallet - 2011-02-15 20:08:22-05
I'm not sure whether it's as heavenly as Temperley London claims, but there's a certain charm to Temperley London's Celestial Coin Purse. The combination of square metal accents and traditional nail head studs is really striking, and what lifts this classic shaped coin purse. Without them it'd be pretty stock standard stuff, although admittedly in a [...]
- Black Crow Arts Turns Records Into Wallets | Cool Gift for Music Lovers - 2011-02-15 21:50:05-05
Even the most dedicated old school music fans admit it's easier to carry an MP3 player around than classic vinyl LPs. But thanks to Black Crow Arts and its classic wallet collection, you can always have your favorite records close at hand. These fun retro wallets are made using real classic records, which are fused to [...]
- Tepper Jackson Lotus Chocolate Reversible Tote | Retro Brown Printed Carryall - 2011-02-15 23:41:02-05
Why settle for one bag, when you can get two for the same price? Alright, when you get down to it this Lotus Chocolate tote is still one bag, but as it's reversible we can enjoy two different looks. In regular mode this tote has a funky 70s print. The colored lotus blooms really pop against [...]
- The Jesse B. Collection Coco Clutch | Cute Gray Tweed Bow Purse - 2011-02-16 01:05:48-05
It may not be from her fashion house, but something tells me that Coco Chanel would approve of the Jesse B. Collection clutch that shares her name. This is a simple but elegant purse, with a jaunty black and white bow dressing up the gray tweed body. This is a wonderful wintery material. After seeing so [...]
- Studio Pollini Pink Leather Tote | Luxury Soft Slouchy Purse - 2011-02-16 07:58:26-05
Wow what a color! The main selling point of this luxury tote from Studio Pollini is that dusky pink tone. Aside from the color of that gently crinkled leather, what we have here is a simple but very large tote. The slouchiness gives it a flexibility that more rigid handbags don't, and I would be surprised if there wasn't enough [...]
- BCBGeneration Charlie Snakeskin Print Clutch | Synthetic Metal Trimmed Purse - 2011-02-16 15:02:54-05
Give an envelope clutch some attitude with the Charlie from BCBGeneration. The shape of this synthetic leather purse is simple. A big flap and thin body meant it resembles that eponymous envelope quite accurately, although you would be unlikely to find one in an exotic snakeskin print down at your local stationer's! The difference is added by the silver [...]
- Kate Moss' New Longchamp Bags | Neutral Purses from Faraway Collection - 2011-02-16 21:14:36-05
Kate Moss continues her collaboration with French fashion house Longchamp this season as designer and model of the Faraway line. Moss worked with Longchamp's creative director Sophie Delafontaine on the bags, which were designed with the model's own wishlist in mind. Just like most of us, she said she wanted accessories that were spacious, lightweight, durable, [...]
- The SAK Pax Cross-Body Bag | Convertible Red Leather Clutch Purse - 2011-02-16 21:55:25-05
Style and versatility come together with ease in this Pax cross-body from The SAK. The purse is made from sumptuously soft leather, which slouches in all the right places. Its weathered texture makes it appear relaxed and worn in, like a favorite pair of shoes. Vertical stitching adds some personality to the Pax's simple shape. I [...]
- House of Mouawad Make World's Most Expensive Bag | 1001 Nights Diamond Purse Breaks Records - 2011-02-16 22:42:37-05
We've all admired expensive handbags, but none quite like the 1001 Nights Diamond Purse from the House of Mouawad. The jewel encrusted clutch, which is valued at $3.8 million, was recently named the world's most expensive by Guinness World Records. When you realize what's in the handbag you begin to realize why it's so pricy. The [...]
- Tianni Hanna Hobo | Summery Green Metallic Trimmed Canvas Handbag - 2011-02-16 23:35:22-05
They say that it's not easy being green, but this relaxed Hanna hobo from Tianni makes it look a breeze! The Hanna has such a casual look about it that I can't help anticipating taking it to picnics and the beach once the weather warms. The thick canvas body would certainly be up to the challenge, [...]
- Tignanello Safari Cross-Body Bag | Croc-Embossed Red Leather Purse - 2011-02-17 01:05:52-05
Tignanello has looked to the wilds of Africa for inspiration with this cross-body Safari bag. The purse gets its name from the leather's embossed finish, which resembles crocodile scales. We've all seen this kind of texture before, but I'm a bit torn about the effect here. The scales are very large, too large to appear realistic. [...]
- Timo's Eco-Friendly Paper Wallets | Modern Soy Printed Purses - 2011-02-17 02:05:49-05
Timo offers a more colorful and eco-conscious alternative to your classic leather wallet with its range of coin purses. Timo wallets are made from recycled paper laminate and strengthened with post-consumer vinyl for extra reinforcement. I was skeptical about the usability of a paper-based wallet, but Timo assures us its material is durable and waterproof. These fun [...]
- Timmy Woods Luscious Cross-Body Bag | Wooden Swarovski Crystal Lips Purse - 2011-02-17 03:05:24-05
Timmy Woods has really gone all out with this Luscious cross-body bag. The designer's turned to her favorite acacia wood to create her pouty lips purse, but figured it needed more glamour. And does anything say glamour like Swarovski crystals? Woods has covered this cross-body in hundreds of the faceted gem, upping the wow factor and [...]
- Mighty Totes & Wallets from Dynomighty | Tough Eco-Friendly Tyvek Bags - 2011-02-17 04:05:21-05
Mighty by name and mighty by nature; meet the Mighty Totes and Wallet from Dynomighty. The eco-friendly accessories are made with Tyvek, so they're tough, water resistant, and lightweight. The use of Tyvek also helps the Mighty Totes fold up into tiny pouches, which is perfect for the weekly grocery shop. Dynomighty earns its green stripes by [...]
- Tod's Clou Shopping Tote | Classic Studded Black Leather Handbag - 2011-02-17 05:05:02-05
Tod's brings a little modern flair to its typical classic aesthetic with this Clou Shopping Tote. The black leather base is tried and true, but Tod's adds a few unique touches which help to separate this tote from the pack. The studs are the most obvious piece of ingenuity. These kinds of metal accents have been [...]
- Zeta Crystal Encrusted Minaudiere | Swarovski Decorated Rose Purse - 2011-02-17 09:37:40-05
This Zeta minaudiere may well be the most absurdly decorative purse I have ever written about! You see all the glitter on the intricate floral metal work of this evening bag? That is all made out of Swarovski crystals. They coat pretty much the entirety of this neat little box clutch, from big crystals embedded in [...]
- MICHAEL Michael Kors Greenwich Leather Shoulder Bag | Tough Black Urban Hobo - 2011-02-17 12:40:11-05
Michael Kors' MICHAEL line is really blowing me away. Sure, the line's accessories aren't on the absolute cutting edge of cool, but they are well-designed, well-priced, and well-crafted bags that will serve you well for several seasons. This Greenwich hobo is one of my new favorites. The soft black leather on the Greenwich has a look [...]
- Bebe Sunburst Hardware Tote | Monochrome Metal Decorated Affordable Bag - 2011-02-17 14:29:10-05
Well, there is certainly no debate over why this tote is named the "Sunburst Hardware"! Just one glance at it reveals such a concentration of metal and grommets that any other name would have been entirely inappropriate! Considering the amount of metal bits and pieces covering the front of this tote, and the stylized sunburst design, [...]
- Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile And Python Bag | Pretty In Pink Exotic Shoulder Bag - 2011-02-17 15:00:53-05
Nancy Gonzalez really has a way with materials. All of her exotic skins come from farms that she operates in Columbia, her home. She always lets the quality of the skin shine through, and doesn't muddy up her designs with overembellishment. This crocodile and python bag is one of the most interesting and most luxurious [...]
- See By Chloe Ring Around Leather Shoulder Bag | Subdued Pastel Teal Carryall - 2011-02-17 18:53:56-05
All told, I think that the See by Chloe line is one of the most exciting out there. Fashionistas love it for the quirky, cutting edge style and lower than usual designer prices. But it seems like this season the label's a little off. Every bag I've seen has been cool, but the tiniest bit [...]
- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Clutch | Elegant And Versatile Woven Black Leather Clutch - 2011-02-17 22:00:04-05
Bottega Veneta is the only line that can properly be called classic that makes me drool. They achieve such masterful balance in each design that, even if your style is more derby girl than uptown girl, you just can't resist it. This intrecciato clutch is a great example of how Bottega makes traditional design look [...]
- Tommy Hilfiger TH Logo Small Tote | Casual Navy Fabric Handbag - 2011-02-18 01:05:31-05
Like so many bagistas out there, I've developed an aversion to obvious branding. Yet somehow this TH logo tote from Tommy Hilfiger has broken through my defenses. There are a few things on Tommy Hilfiger's side here. Its TH logo is abstract and modern, so it seems more like artwork than marketing. The cut-out design is [...]
- Laga Handbags Launches Lady Gaga Design Competition | Purse Company Plans Limited Edition Homage to Pop Queen - 2011-02-18 02:05:40-05
Laga Handbags is planning to release a limited edition Lady Gaga purse, and it wants your help. The fashion house, which utilizes the work of Indonesian tsunami survivors, is inviting fans to submit their Gaga-inspired designs.

- Tory Burch Natalya Hobo | Chic Gunmetal Chain Black Leather Handbag - 2011-02-18 03:05:22-05
No wonder this hobo is called Natalya. She's dramatic and oozing sex appeal, just like any good Russian spy! This hobo doesn't have much in common with the hippie dippy bags the flower children carry. It's got a subtle slouch to it, but you'll find that it in most bags using quality leather. The long, rounded [...]
- Ducti Duct Tape Bags | Unique Silver Adhesive Purses - 2011-02-18 04:05:32-05
Ducti celebrates the humble invention of duct tape with its fun range of wallets and clutches. The label uses the sticky stuff to make its coin purses.

- Travelon Carry Safe Anti-Theft Hobo | Secure Tan Travel Bag - 2011-02-18 05:05:02-05
Travelon seems determined to muscle in on Pacsafe's territory with this Carry Safe Anti-Theft hobo. Pacsafe fans will notice many of the same features in this hobo, from the slash-proof shoulder strap to the tamper-proof locking zippers. These security measures allow us a breath a little easier when we step out, whether we're sightseeing in a [...]

- Treesje Spokes Convertible Clutch | Metal Hardware Red Lambskin Purse - 2011-02-19 01:05:28-05
Treesje delivers a purse with enough attitude and functional features to take you from day to night with this Spokes convertible clutch. So many clutch purses are covered with frills and frippery, which relegates them to after five. But not the Spokes, who prefers the taste of silvery metal. Chains snake through leather loops for a [...]
- Narwhal Co.'s Tie Wallets | Unique Recycled Necktie Accessories - 2011-02-19 02:05:20-05
No, Narwhal Co. isn't one of those nasty Japanese whaling fleets; in fact nothing could be farther from the truth. Instead it's a proudly green firm which turns vintage neck ties into unique wallets, passport covers, and wrist bands. There are three different Narwhal Co. wallet styles to choose from: the traditional Tie-Fold Wallet, the slender [...]
- Tusk Travel Signature Flapover Briefcase | Black Italian Buffalo Leather & Nylon Messenger - 2011-02-19 03:05:35-05
We all love our designer handbags, but when you're preparing to face another working week those It bags just aren't going to cut it. That's when a practical messenger like this one from Tusk really comes into its own. Tusk calls it a briefcase, but it's much more relaxed than most bags of that type. It's [...]
- RAGGEDedge's Durable Handbags | High-Tech Military Grade Material Accessories - 2011-02-19 04:05:24-05
When leather, canvas, and nylon just aren't tough enough look to the bags from RAGGEDedge. This innovative label shuns traditional material for cutting-edge fibers used in the military and aerospace. Even girls who are particularly hard on their purses won't be able to break ones made from kevlar aramid, carbon fiber, pentex, or PET-X! RAGGEDedge uses these [...]
- Adidas By Stella McCartney Cotton Twill Shoulder Bag | Affordable And Cool Pleated Khaki Bag - 2011-02-20 23:00:57-05
Stella McCartney's line for Adidas is her best work, as far as I'm concerned. It's her most reasonably priced, and her minimal aesthetic goes very well with the sporty style of Adidas. This twill shoulder bag is a match made in designer heaven at an unbelievable price. I'm not a huge fan of khaki on pants, [...]
- Two's Company Pop Top Zippered Clutch | Silver Eco-Friendly Soda Can Tab Wristlet - 2011-02-21 00:10:41-05
Two's Company saves soda can tabs from landfill with this eco-friendly Pop Top Zippered Clutch. This is a really clever and quirky purse, which shuns traditional materials for a more eco-smart alternative.

- Ugg Australia Aviator Hobo | Chic Distressed Brown Leather Shearling Trim Handbag - 2011-02-21 00:30:52-05
I've always been of the opinion that Uggs should be kept on one's feet, but the brand's Aviator hobo is forcing me to reconsider my stance. I've never seen Ugg Australia delivering a handbag so fashion forward. The secret is of course hiding the shearling away inside, so we see just a hint of the fuzzy [...]

Wow. Talk about eye-catching! This La Regale clutch is a dazzling array of bling and bright vibrant color, perfect for girls who like to make an impact.

The gorgeous red satin and [...]
