Alexis Hudson has released a glam new accessories line just in time for hard days spent at the mall and our yearly Christmas parties. The label's holiday collection features a selection of day purses and evening clutches.

The line looks to be a bridge between ...

Alexis Hudson injects a little Middle Eastern flair into this pretty Prism wristlet.

I can imagine stumbling across this purse in an exotic bazaar in Marrakech or Dubai. Its unusual diamond shape and long tassel accent give it a beautiful bohemian flair. Its glitzy sequined panel ...

Alexis Hudson shows us what happens when you add too many elements to a clutch purse with the Adelaide.

There's a lot to like here, but when it's mixed up with so many other features it's hard to appreciate them. The gleaming golden buckles are really ...

Alexis Hudson channels the glamour of the 1950s with this elegant Maddie shoulder bag.

I can just imagine the secretaries in Mad Men carrying this darling mini purse to the office, and then to the bar for after work cocktails. That gunmetal leather is ...

Alexis Hudson has always been one of those labels that fly underneath the radar. That's a good thing for its fans, as it keeps smart bags like this Hope Tote reasonably priced.

At $565, this tote isn't exactly cheap but it offers us a lot of ...

Alexis Hudson understands what makes an evening bag sing. She has done it before, namely with the Champagne and Tango clutches, and now she has really raised the bar with the spangly Ciara clutch.

Whilst sequins can look overdone, this evening purse avoids the issue through using tiny and really classy ones. ...

I was initially struck by the bold contrast of black leather and red snakeskin accents on this Bijou purse. But it's the practical design of this Alexis Hudson shoulder bag that really stole my heart.

You wouldn't know it at first glance, but this is actually four different handbags in one. Carry ...

Handbags shaped like bows are always good fun, and the Alexis Hudson Snowbird purse manages to make that fun shape into something practical too.

You see the large centre to the bow shape of this clutch? That is a pocket. I am thinking that it would be perfect as a coin purse, a luxury ...

What an exotic creature this Isis clutch is. You'd never guess it wasn't made of authentic snake!

This is one for all the reptile activists out there, and the girls who prefer to count their pennies. The leather has been softly embossed with smoldering serpentine spots. It's one of the best impersonators ...

Many of the evening bag designs from Alexis Hudson are fairly glamorous, in my opinion, but this Glam Cross-Body definitely lives up to its name with sparkles galore.

The handbag is technically just a simple mini zippered pouch that can be carried as a clutch or as a cross-body bag when you ...

Alexis Hudson plays it straight with the Bohem hobo. This is a return to the roots of the style, with its characteristic slouch and easy breezy spirit.

This is every inch the classic hobo, which is just what I like about it. Contemporary hobos have turned the design on its head, so ...

This Martini wristlet from Alexis Hudson is quite the opposite of the similarly named Martini Glass zippered bag from SR Squared by Sondra Roberts. Whereas the Sondra Roberts version opts for a literal take on the name, Alexis Hudson's styling is much more abstract.

The Martini wristlet has a unique sculptural quality to ...

The Eternity line from Alexis Hudson might not be new for the brand this season, but I think it's still worth mentioning because of its versatile look and clever mechanics.

With its snakeskin texture and unusual color palette this Eternity Combo clutch is both interesting to look at but not too over ...

This Alexis Hudson clutch is an antidote to all those purses playing it safe. The Bloom is a clutch that believes that too much isn't enough.

The shape is simple enough, with its rectangular design and recessed zipper. But that's about the only part of the Bloom which is low key. Curved ...

Twinkle, twinkle like a star carrying this cute shoulder bag from Alexis Hudson.

One glance and it's easy to see what inspired the Twinkle's playful moniker. Brilliant rhinestones sparkle against their black leather backdrop like stars twinkling in the night sky. The accent is striking but not overdone, with Alexis Hudson resisting ...

Alexis Hudson has combined urban form and everyday functionality in its gorgeous fall 2009 collection. Tough metal hardware is balanced with buttery-soft leather throughout the line, which designer Rachelle Copeland calls "biker babe meets Sophia Loren."

But it's not all rock and roll. We see elements of boho chic in the ...

With a black leather handbag, you're ready to go anywhere. Alexis Hudson gives this classic style a contemporary twist with the Vail.

The cut-out handles bring a futuristic, if not entirely practical, touch to the bag's traditional shape. Thankfully the Vail also comes with two longer straps for over-the-shoulder toting. A large ...

Alexis Hudson introduces a whole lot of bling into the Christmas party season with this sexy metallic champagne clutch.

Available in bronze or gunmetal, this is a metallic clutch with two personalities. In bronze it is a crocodile print beauty with rustic charm. In gunmetal, the polished silver leather creates a more modern feeling. ...

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 ...

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 ...
