Now this is what I call a clutch. Though there are plenty of other pretty options or functional versions of the handbag style, this Treesje Harlow is the total package to me.
With a classic shape, unique details, and a decent size, you really won't be lacking anything with the Harlow. I'm sure there are plenty [...]

- Liz Claiborne Ripley Tote | Economical Glossy Patent PVC Coral Handbag - 2009-08-04 02:05:38-04
Liz Claiborne epitomizes cheap and cheerful fashion with the Ripley tote.
It doesn't get much cheerier than the feminine coral pink finish, or much cheaper than PVC. High-end fashionistas may scoff at this fabric, but it only costs $34. If that's all you've got to spare, or you simply want a little more cash in your [...]

Lucky Brand's slouch hobo combines the casual profile we expect from these bags with a new sophisticated attitude.
Slouchy relaxed leather is a hobo trademark, and this purse delivers on that score. But by keeping the design simple, this Lucky Brand bag is more sophisticated than most of its hippie-chic peers. There are no fringes or [...]

- Elliott Lucca Pascale Shopper | Square-Shaped Handbag with Woven Leather - 2009-08-04 18:47:03-04
If you're going to lay down a few hundred dollars for a handbag, I tend to think it should be either something completely stunning that you can't live without or a classic style that will go with nearly everything. You might as well get your money's worth, either with lots of attention or plenty of use.
This Elliott [...]

- Mad By Design Croc Clutch | Lily Orange Embossed Crocodile Evening Purse - 2009-08-05 02:05:07-04
Mad by Design glam up their usual retro style with this cute Croc Clutch.
The traditional approach means this purse doesn't make quite the impression the brand's other bags do, but that might be part of its appeal. Our clutches can't be showstoppers all the time, particularly when wearing a particularly daring dress with a plunging [...]
- British TV Star Fearne Cotton Tells of Mulberry Handbag Obsession - 2009-08-05 03:05:57-04
Wouldn't it be nice to be a celeb, able to afford not just one purse from your favorite designer, but 15? Her handbag collection may not rival Lily Allen's just yet, but British television presenter Fearne Cotton is well on her way.
Mulberry is her designer of choice, and it seems she just can't get enough!
"Mulberry [...]
- Mad Imports Leilani Purse | Fair Trade Raffia Clutch with Embroidered Bird Design - 2009-08-05 04:05:47-04
Mad Imports keeps it casual with this cute Leilani clutch.
It's made from natural-toned raffia, jazzed up with an adorable embroidered bird and leaves design. Each Leilani is a little different depending on the color you choose. I love the swooping swallow on this ocean blue clutch, but the blooms also come in punch pink, mango [...]

Ghibli are experts in the production of top-end luxury handbags constructed from that most sublime of leathers, python skin. Strikingly smooth and with a subtle gleam, this decadent fabric can easily separate the wannabes from the high rollers.
The eclectic hippy patchwork pattern makes the satchel-style tote highly desirable in fashion circles. Gleaming in vibrant jewel shades [...]
- Prezzo Croco Wristlet | Classic Envelope Clutch Bag with Wrist Strap - 2009-08-05 18:40:15-04
I feel like I've been on a clutch kick lately on a quest to find ideal versions of this small, sometimes impractical, but necessary wardrobe addition. Though my latest favorite has been the Treesje Harlow, this Prezzo Croco Wristlet clutch comes in a close second.
It might not be quite as versatile as some clutches, but [...]
- Cynthia Rowley Designs for Babies "R" Us | Affordable Collection to Include Diaper Bags - 2009-08-05 20:33:51-04
Baby products are nothing new to designer Cynthia Rowley, who has previously created a line of boutique-style patent leather diaper bags. For the average mommy, though, their average price tag of $240 can run a bit high.
Never fear, budget mommies. The diffusion line is here. This well-respected fashion designer is taking her classic style to [...]

With a pop of color and plenty of style, Magid bring you this vibrant pleated satin clutch.
The pleating is so interesting here, with creases adding texture in all directions. It's an abstract design, with horizontal lines contrasting delightfully with vertical and diagonal ones. By crafting the entire thing from the same colored satin, Magid creates [...]

Men may be tightening their belts, but a report by Reuters says the financial crisis hasn't tempered the shopping habits of women. While sales of Swiss watches and other male extravagances have slumped, women's handbags from luxury labels like Louis Vuitton and Hermes are enjoying increased sales.
While men react to an uncertain job market by [...]
- Matt & Nat Zed Tote | Large Eco-Friendly Recycled Japanese Paper Bag - 2009-08-06 04:05:54-04
Matt & Nat have a knack for creating environmentally-friendly handbags that don't skimp on style. The Zed tote is the label's answer to the oversized trend. It's a purse that's as big on looks as it is on practicality.
It's made from the brand's iconic Japanese Paper vegan leather, a cruelty-free alternative to textured calfskin. I [...]

- Kooba Natasha Tote | Coated Canvas Handbag with Turnlock Feature - 2009-08-06 19:30:44-04
Kooba is not a name that's as familiar to me as some fashion brands, but it's certainly nothing new to the handbag world. This company has been creating enviable designer bags for over a decade.
Though I don't think it's been at the top of many shoppers' lists for that long, the company has taken off [...]
- Longchamp Celebrates ANDAM's 20th Anniversary with New Bag Collaboration - 2009-08-06 22:45:00-04
Longchamp is marking the 20th anniversary of the Association Nationale pour le Développement des Arts de la Mode (ANDAM), which "promotes emerging French and international fashion talent", with a new collaboration involving their well-known Le Pliage Tote.

- Maxx New York Ava Bag | Glossy Synthetic Croc Embossed Dome Satchel - 2009-08-07 02:05:10-04
The Ava comes to us from Maxx New York's vintage collection which pays tribute to the stars of cinema's golden age. Being named after Ava Gardner gives this satchel a lot to live up to, and I'm not quite sure it delivers.
I'd never imagine Ava settling for embossed PVC when she could have had genuine [...]
- Chanel Sues Counterfeit Handbag Websites - 2009-08-07 03:31:29-04
Chanel is suing a Las Vegas company which it claims operates websites selling counterfeit Chanel handbags.
Chanel filed the lawsuit on Wednesday against Marc Giovanni, Top Modea Purses Inc. and their affiliated websites Web sites boutiquelebon.com and boutique-marcella.com. The luxury label claims the defendants have infringed on its trademarks by advertising and selling replica goods bearing [...]
- Melie Bianco Franny Hobo | Unique Braided Casual Synthetic Handbag - 2009-08-07 04:05:59-04
Melie Bianco has a special knack for creating on-trend handbags that don't cost the earth. While the label has been known to "borrow" inspiration from Jimmy Choo and Valentino, it's just as capable of coming up with must-have fashion items all its own. The Franny is this season's head-turner.
The $84.99 price tag won't buy you [...]
- Alexis Hudson Tango Clutch | Luxurious Scalloped Snakeskin Purse - 2009-08-07 13:35:22-04
I am on the look out for a smart yet pretty clutch for the upcoming Christmas party season. Whilst trawling though page upon page of average clutches, this snakeskin purse caught my eye as an interesting bet for sophisticated winter looks.
This purse is best in the lovely deep cobalt blue, and I am particularly drawn [...]
- Hobo International Barbara Tote | Professional Leather Briefcase Bag with Detachable Strap - 2009-08-07 21:52:28-04
Well, I must say that this Hobo International Barbara is quite the polished-looking bag. With its classic briefcase shape and style, you're sure to appear confident and professional at work whether or not you actually feel that way.
I'm not trying to imply that the Barbara is intended exclusively as a to-and-from-the-office handbag. However, even after a [...]
- Karl Lagerfeld Channels Coco in Interview | Chanel Designer Sounds Off About Feminism and More - 2009-08-08 00:47:20-04
Though it's yet to hit the magazine racks, the Harper's Bazaar September issue will surely garner a few laughs thanks to its unique interview with Chanel big shot and ego-extraordinaire Karl Lagerfeld.
Any interview with Lagerfeld is sure to be a page-turner since this man has more quirks than you can count on both hands (who can forget [...]
- Michael Kors Newbury Satchel | Large Casual Woven Leather Drawstring Mocha Brown Bag - 2009-08-08 02:05:52-04
It seems every handbag label worth its salt has a woven leather collection. For Michael Kors it's the Newbury line, a classic basketweave selection with traditional designs and a muted color scheme.
Of course, those conservative shades like mocha and mushroom won't suit everybody. But they share the same classic appeal that woven leather does. The [...]
- Betseyville by Betsey Johnson Animal Print Clutch | Patent Gold Safari Wristlet - 2009-08-08 11:24:20-04
This Betseyville Safari Park wristlet is yet another bold and dramatic handbag from vivacious designer Betsy Johnson.
This miniature wristlet definitely isn't for the shy and retiring amongst us! The glossy gold trim, the bold animal print and the clear on-trend vinyl all combine to make this a real attention grabber.
As with many of the funky [...]
- Dooney & Bourke Juliette Bag in Zebra | Classic Satchel with Animal Print Leather - 2009-08-08 21:22:47-04
Animal print isn't completely unexpected from Dooney & Bourke, but it does tend to catch me off guard a bit when I see it. I'm rather used to seeing the brand's signature logo. However, when D&B does handbags in leopard or another exotic print, they do it well.
This particular Juliette handbag is from their much-loved [...]
- Hermes Hits the Ice for Fall/Winter 09 Campaign | Snow Bunny Raquel Zimmermann Models Croc So Kelly Handbag - 2009-08-08 23:57:42-04
Hermes forgot about autumn and really took the winter thing seriously when planning their fall/winter 2009 advertising campaign. In complete contrast to the beach setting of their spring ads, the label went in the obvious opposite direction and took things to the snow-filled scenery of Sweden.
Brazilian model Raquel Zimmermann seems quite at home surrounded by [...]
- Female Shoppers Guilty About Luxury Purchases, But Spending Anyway! - 2009-08-09 00:23:44-04
We recently heard that the financial crisis hasn't tempered our love of shopping, but new research shows 83% of women feel guilty after making those luxury purchases. That's one-third more guilty shoppers than before the credit crunch.
The survey by Skinny Cow also found that 86% of women justify their latest purse purchase, while others simply [...]
- Inge Christopher Mesh Clutch | Gold and Silver Diamante Baguette - 2009-08-09 15:30:40-04
Inge Christopher is a growing force in the handbag world, with a strong focus on decorative touches and individual looks.
I am stuck at first glance by the somewhat controversial combination of gold and silver that Inge Christopher have used on this flashy baguette. Generally these two glittery substances are kept a world apart. I am not convinced [...]
- Jessica Simpson Runway Satchel | Black Manmade Ruffled Frame Handbag - 2009-08-09 20:43:45-04
Because of the extremely wide variety of styles offered by Jessica Simpson's handbag line, there are sure to be at least a few duds here and there. This one, in my opinion, does not happen to be one of them.
Although I wouldn't call it particularly trendy, it does have one of the design features we've [...]
- Ralph Lauren Launches Scuderia Bag Collection | Designer Inspired by Ferrari Racing Cars - 2009-08-09 21:32:24-04
Ralph Lauren is an avid car enthusiast, with a collection including a multi-million-dollar 2005 McLaren F1 GTR LM, 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic and 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK for starters. But Ferraris are his pride and joys, including a pair of original 250 Testa Rossas (estimated at $12 million a piece) and a 250 GTO. So [...]
- Alexander Wang Bianca Vest Bag | Wearable Black Leather Purse - 2009-08-09 22:58:37-04
Alexander Wang has made a mark with his edgy rock and roll inspired accessories. But with the Bianca Vest Bag, has the fledgling designer gone a little too far?
The name tells it like it is: this is a completely wearable handbag. The black leather finish and bronze hardware make this vest bag appear like something [...]
- Calvin Klein Stays Sleek for CK Fall/Winter 09 Campaign | New Manbags and Handbags for Fans - 2009-08-09 23:58:50-04
When I think of Calvin Klein fashion, words like chic and contemporary come to mind. Well, now I need to throw in another descriptive word for the brand: European.
There are plenty of people who would argue with me on that considering the label's American origins. However, I need only point to the new Calvin Klein CK [...]
- Alexis Hudson Grand Bastille Bag | Large Ruched Tobacco Brown and Black Leather Handbag - 2009-08-10 02:05:01-04
Alexis Hudson is a relatively new name on the handbag block, but the financial crisis makes this the perfect time to check out this up-and-coming talent.
Without the star profile, Alexis Hudson handbags are all priced under $1000. This Grand Bastille bag comes in at just under $700. Not bad for an on-trend oversized handbag, right? [...]
- Bulgari Natural 1910 Tote | Leather Trimmed Canvas Day Bag - 2009-08-10 04:05:28-04
Bulgari dresses up the traditional canvas tote with this treat from its 1910 collection.
The natural toned chevron canvas is adorned with an art deco design and decorative script. The black pattern is accented by nut wrinkled calf leather trim. It really dresses up the tote, but it's not likely to be well received by animal [...]
