I always feel a sense of pride when I come across a lovely design in a handbag that doesn't cost the earth. With this delicate purse from Miracle, you can get unusual retro looks for the bargain basement price of $26.
As with most cheap and cheerful clutches, the beading and sequins on this clam shaped [...]
- Jessica Simspon Boulevard Tote | Large Patent Faux Python Handbag - 2009-07-27 21:07:39-04
In these penny-pinching days, fashionistas are often reaching for synthetic purses in lieu of the latest designer "it" bag. I've got to say, faux leather is the way to go if you're on a tight budget. Not only is it almost always cheaper than the real thing, but it can also pass as a decent imitation in some [...]

Jimmy Choo gives the hobo a little rock and roll edge with the Rania.
The punk attitude comes from two rows of gleaming grommets that embellish the top of the bag. They've become somewhat of a Jimmy Choo trademark, utilized in iconic bags like the Ramona, Riki, and Rio. See them and you automatically think of [...]

Slouchy and casually chic, the Kempt Pure Tote is a great choice for the jeans and Frye boots girl come fall.
This is one of those bags that screams autumn and your hands start to itch for once the weather turns chilly, but would still be perfectly appropriate other times of the year.
The unstructured tote has [...]
- Coach Soho Ocelot Clutch | Folded Buckled Leopard-Print Wallet - 2009-07-28 16:50:58-04

A mixed snakeskin print gives this Charles David Terri Clutch an edgy feel while the sophisticated color palette keeps it chic. It's not going to be mistaken for real snakeskin any time soon, but has a nice quality look for the price.
While this color is termed black it has a mix of different shades of gray, [...]
- Elliott Lucca Napoli Draw Tote | Woven Metallic Leather Drawstring Bag - 2009-07-28 20:39:20-04
At first glance, this Elliott Lucca Napoli tote looks quite a bit like one of the brand's other drawstring handbags, the Aruba. In fact, the shape and basic design of the two is nearly identical.
The unmistakable differences, however, make the Napoli as a style worth considering just as much as the Aruba. The most obvious difference [...]
- Sneak Peek of Gucci Fall 09 Ads Hit the Web | 'Vogue Paris' Fashion Director Emmanuelle Alt Styles - 2009-07-28 21:27:06-04

- Judith Leiber Leopard Minaudiere | Cute Pink Animal Print Crystal Purse - 2009-07-29 02:05:58-04
One of my handbag ambitions is to own a Judith Leiber minaudiere. Their prohibitive prices and practical restrictions are a big stumbling block, but once I win the lottery I'm going to buy one of those gem encrusted beauties.
I'm not sure of the wearability of the eye-catching animal clutches she favors, so I'd probably opt [...]
- Prada's Pop-Up Paris Store Pays Tribute to Art Critic Apollinaire - 2009-07-29 03:05:00-04
Prada's latest pop-up store is a tribute to the revered Italian art critic and writer Apollinaire. As he developed his career in France, it's only fitting that the temporary boutique is in Paris' Place Beauvau.

- Kate Spade Vanessa Bryn Mawr Hobo Bag | Preppy Red Leather and Gray Fabric Structured Handbag - 2009-07-29 04:05:45-04
Hobos aren't a handbag you traditionally associate with private schools and Ivy Leaguers, but that's exactly what I'm reminded of when I look at the Vanessa Bryn Mawr from Kate Spade.
That's not to say the purse oozes the sort of luxury most of us could only dream of. The leather and fabric combo make it [...]
- Bottega Veneta Basket Tote | Slouchy Nappa Leather Foldover Purse - 2009-07-29 14:28:15-04
Bottega Veneta have kept up their enviably high standards with this surprisingly complex bag in elegant and luxurious nappa leather.

- See by Chloe Reversible Tote | Blue Leather & Cotton Print Handbag - 2009-07-29 23:51:16-04
Reversible totes are great. You get more for your money by enjoying two handbag styles for the price of one. But usually it's just a change of color or print and only available in cotton or canvas bags.
Not so with this See by Chloe Leather/Cotton Reversible Tote! These are really two completely different bags.
The blue [...]
- Kathy Van Zeeland Idol Tote Bag | Foldover Convertible Synthetic Leather Purse - 2009-07-30 02:05:46-04
Kathy Van Zeeland serves up her signature rock and roll style with some practical pizzazz with the Idol tote.

Kooba's Andie clutch is one of those purses that just begs to be touched. The metallic leather is so buttery soft, which is just what you want in a hand-held clutch!

- Juicy Couture Pammy Tote | Signature Style Handbag in Terry Fabric - 2009-07-30 22:00:58-04
Just about everything on this Juicy Couture Pammy tote screams signature Juicy style. That's not necessarily a good thing, unless you happen to be a huge fan of the brand.
While many prefer Juicy's more sophisticated side, as seen on bags like the Small Bowler or the Madge, there is definitely a large number of shoppers who go [...]

- L.A.M.B. Love Candela Soft Bucket Bag | Slouchy Leather Red Bag with Racing Stripes - 2009-07-31 02:05:18-04
The Love Candela could only come from one fashion house. It has all the hallmarks of Gwen Stefani's style empire, L.A.M.B.
The velvet stripes which run down the center of the bag and around the base are a L.A.M.B trademark. Here tan signature print clashes with the soft red leather, giving the purse a color-blocked appearance. [...]

- Rampage Raegan Tote | Ruffled Handbag with Plaid and Silver Details - 2009-07-31 18:06:24-04
There's nothing like plaid to kick off the fall season. The Scottish patterned fabric can never be a spring or summer print, in my opinion; but it's absolutely wonderful for the cooler seasons.
With the first day of fall only weeks away now, it's definitely time to start thinking about upcoming wardrobe additions. With this Rampage [...]
- Lanvin Kansas Tote Bag | Iconic Black Leather Functional Handbag - 2009-08-01 02:05:11-04
The season's latest it bags inspire envy, but when it comes to laying money down most of us are more likely to splurge on a classic carryall like the Kansas than the latest fad.
It may not make a lot of waves, but the Kansas is the kind of bag you could carry to work, drinks [...]

- Kenneth Jay Lane Worth Avenue Clutch | Luxury Patent Leather Evening Shoulderbag - 2009-08-01 12:53:46-04
All experienced handbag fans will know that to purchase a purse with an original and unique design, you have to spend a reasonable amount of money.

- B. Makowsky Nassau Tote | Large Croc-Embossed Leather Handbag - 2009-08-01 21:07:21-04
B. Makowsky seems to have a penchant for naming their handbags after major cities, like the Maui, Los Angeles, and Florence. I'm not sure what exactly about this particular tote called to mind the Bahamas, but Nassau is the name it was given.
Interesting name choice aside, the Nassau tote is actually a great handbag to consider. [...]

- Botkier Sasha Small Duffle | Luxe and Versatile Lambskin Satchel - 2009-08-02 18:25:01-04
Monica Botkier began designing handbags in 2003 after working in the fashion industry for many years. As a photographer, she was always in need of functional, high-quality bags that wouldn't look out of place in the high fashion world she worked in. And so, Botkier was born, and I couldn't be more thankful.
It isn't that [...]
- Nine West Sidney Cross Body | Safari Chic Nylon Bag with Synthetic Trim - 2009-08-02 20:43:11-04

- Givenchy Goes Back to Basics with Slightly More Affordable Designs | Redux Capsule Collection Set to Launch - 2009-08-02 23:22:07-04
One thing is certain in the designer fashion world right now: consumers are either cutting back on shopping budgets or reconsidering purchases altogether. Though there are a few labels managing to pull in somewhat decent numbers in recent quarters, some companies are having to change their strategies.
Some people might consider Givenchy's decision to launch a new [...]

If you don't take your fashions too seriously, you'll love the novelty look of this Finger Hole clutch from Latico.

Lauren Merkin shows us that style and practicality can come at an affordable price with the Stella tote.

- Naomi Campbell Attacks Photographer with Handbag - 2009-08-03 03:05:33-04
Recently she was donating handbags to charity, but now Naomi Campbell is back to her old tricks. The fiery model used her purse for evil instead of good recently! She's accused of hitting a photographer with her handbag during an Italian getaway with her billionaire beau.
