With so many over-embellished, overdesigned handbags flooding the market, something as clean as the Robinson is like a breath of fresh air. The small golden logo is its only accent, and the bag is better for it. I'm not one for obvious branding, but the abstract look of the double T medallion is a rich complement to the polished burgundy colored leather. The simple design ensures the Robinson will endure as trends come and go.

Tory Burch has created several different Robinsons, but I think this shoulder bag is the most practical. Its spacious but slim design offers all the space we need in a sophisticated package.

That elegance ensures the Robinson can easily work its way into your professional life without looking stuffy in your leisure time. Whatever the occasion or the season, I can imagine the Robinson being a great companion.

Its versatility makes the Robinson's relatively affordable $375 seem like even more of a bargain. Indulge in this bordeaux version or basic black.

This sophisticated make-up purse is immediately identifiable as one of the American designer's creations. Its lines are clean, and its logo medallion stands proudly against the purse. Her fans may be disappointed that leather only borders the branding, but it actually makes a lot of sense. By choosing coated canvas rather than a more luxurious fabric Tory Burch has ensured that make-up stains can be easily wiped away.

The colorblocked finish makes the canvas seem much more appealing. The top has the fabric's natural ivory tone, while the base has a more playful hue. It's pink in this instance, but we could also choose yellow or turquoise.

The Idina's interior is very simple. What you see is what you get. I wish there were little pockets or elasticized loops to keep our make-up must haves in order, but for this price I wouldn't necessarily expect it.

Given its basic materials and basic design though, I can't help thinking Tory Burch is charging a premium for her name. $75 isn't expensive for the average Tory Burch purse, but it's a bit steep for one that will spend most of its life inside a larger tote.

This is the kind of the handbag that every girl needs in their wardrobe. It's sedate enough to suit any situation, its color ensures it works easily with any outfit, and it's large enough to hold anything you ever want to step out with. It's not all that exciting, but you can rely on it to serve you well season after season.

While it might not inspire handbag envy, there's a lot to like about it. Its leather is buttery and soft, and its polished golden clasp striking. It's also so well made that we feel pampered when we carry it.

It's got those little touches that scream high-end accessory, including protective metal feet on the base, leather trim around the interior pocket, and a range of carrying options. I expect those perks in a bag costing four-figures, but they seem like a real luxury here.

At $525 the Norah is great value. You may be tempted to indulge in something more fashion forward, but for longevity this is a much smarter proposition.

Rattan is less luxurious than the materials Burch usually plays with, but it's perfect for this warm weather we've all been enjoying. The geometric wicker weave makes this rattan feel a bit more sophisticated than it normally does, but there's no escaping that this is a casual material. I think that works well for this time of year though, as we're more likely to be enjoying pool parties and beach barbeques than the posh dos of December.

The leather flap with its Tory Burch logo stamps its designer pedigree, and gives the clutch some individual personality. I think this cheery Sake Gold shade is perfect for the season, but we can also choose it in black, gold, silver, and poppy red.

I'm not ordinarily a fan of logos, but for every rule there's always an exception. As Burch's branding is so abstract, I think she gets away with it. It acts as an aesthetic element as much as it does advertising, and elevates what might have otherwise been a relatively dull design.

This rattan clutch is large but basic, with only a small and insignificant slip pocket inside. Pouches like this are really token gestures, as they're to small to hold anything of substance, but we've never expected practicality from a clutch purse. While I'm griping, the lack of shoulder strap is also disappointing. No one wants to spend an evening holding onto a handbag, no matter how pretty it is.

At $275 this clutch costs more than I'd expect to pay for a rattan purse, but its seasonal charm might just sway anyone with the cash to spare.

I used to really dislike her aesthetic, but it's really grown on me the past few seasons. Not only that, but she's gotten a lot more street smart, as well, which only makes me like her more. This Amanda shoulder bag is a great example of her putting a classic spin on an exotic style.

There aren't many lines that get faux snakeskin right. Honestly, I only really like the way Michael Kors does it. Until now. This is a great looking adaptation of snakeskin. The texture is really believable, and the black and gold combination is fabulous.

The shape of this bag is also perfectly chosen. It's nice and small, perfect to sling over your shoulder or across the body. The pouch shape is unique, given the prevalence of boxier bags and slouchy hobos, and I like it quite a lot. Too bad they put that terribly giant logo on the front of it.

Honestly, it ruins the whole bag for me. The Amanda is just too small and well designed to be overburdened by that huge monstrosity. If it was removable, at $375, I'd say this bag was a steal. But as it stands, you couldn't pay me to carry it.

Tory Burch is the queen of preppy chic. From the Upper East Side to the Palm Beaches, no one does it like her. She's also managed to garner a significant crossover audience by adding in a few more street smart styles. This Tory turn-lock shoulder bag, however, is pure preppy goodness.

Blue chambray makes me think of all those button down shirts that were so popular in the 1980s. But other than the effect of the leather, there's nothing retro about the Tory. It's so timeless that I would be hard-pressed to place it in any particular decade. In any case, the chambray effect leather is a genius choice; it has the crisp look of cotton with the durability of leather.

The shape of the Tory is so clean and unmuddied. It's really hard to find any fault with its design. Actually, even though it's completely out of keeping with my own personal taste, I just can't seem to find anything wrong with it. The fresh lines are reinforced by the understated seaming, and the Burch logo gives the bag an almost nautical look.

$425 is great price to pay for a bag that can't be dated. This is definitely one for the ages, folks.

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 shape has more in common with bucket bags than hobos too, so the name is a bit confusing.

Personally I don't mind what a bag's called when it looks this stylish. Tory Burch has saved its black leather from appearing bland by giving it a chic speckled finish. This deep skin makes sure its gunmetal chain accents really pop.

The Natalya is gathered around the top as if it a drawstring was at work, but it actually closes with a magnetic clasp. It's an inspired touch, which gives us that casual look without the fuss. The snap will make it much easier to get to your phone when it rings!

Don't be deterred by Tory Burch's labeling of this bag as small; it's certainly big enough to carry everything you need on a daily basis and then some. It may not fit in with the other hobos on the block, but with its own sense of style I think the Natalya's a great buy at $550.

The American designer has converted a 19th century townhouse in New Bond Street into her first London boutique. Gold leaf mirrors and moss green floors should make this stylish space feel a bit more fab.

The Tory Burch store opened in grand style with an A-List cocktail party. Actresses Thandie Newton, Joely Richardson, and artist Sally Albermarle were all in attendance for the event, which included a private dinner at nearby Hakkasan.

It's surprising that it's taken Tory Burch so long to open a London boutique, as she has fond memories of many trips to the Old Dart.

"My favorite is when I brought my boys here for the first time year ago," she told Vogue. "We had an incredible tour guide, a history buff who knew about all of England's greatest battles. To the delight of my sons, he pointed out bullet holes in all the buildings!"

Do you think Tory Burch's boutique is a good addition to the bustling New Bond Street?

Tory Burch's line has something of a split personality. Half her bags are trend-driven and hip, and the other half are conservative and classic. While I prefer the former aesthetic, this Jaden tote is a great example of how versatile her more traditional bags are.

The medium tan leather on this tote will go with just about anything. It has just enough of a red undertone to give a rich, russet look without making it too colorful. The subtle quilting gives it a modern classic appeal.

The Jaden isn't really as small as the name implies. In fact, it's generous enough to fit a laptop and a couple of notebooks, and perfectly chic for business use. I would prefer that the rolled leather handles were a bit wider, for comfort reasons, but in terms of style, the slim handles balance out the style beautifully.

$435 is a pretty price to pay for a daily tote, but this is the kind of bag that will last a lifetime without ever going out of style.

I have been absolutely converted by Tory Burch in the past few seasons. Her posh uptown aesthetic doesn't always appeal to monochromatic downtown types like me, but lately she's really taken a walk on the wild side. Unfortunately, this Reva clutch is a bit of a disappointment. Not only has she abandoned her new found edginess, but all her everyday elegance seems to have gone right along with it.

The super hot fuchsia satin is extra eye-catching and extra sleek. The problem is that the color is really all there is to the bag. Except the giant logo, of course, which I find more than a little irritating. Frankly, this looks like a cosmetic bag. And not one that you'd blow $295 on, either; one that would come free with the purchase of a moderately expensive bottle of perfume.

The shape is simple and minimal, which in this case, just doesn't work. It might if it weren't for the large size of the logo, which weighs down the light, delicate fabric and also the overall look of the bag. Sorry Ms. Burch, I've been on your side for a while now, but this Reva clutch is a watered-down, over-priced version of your better work. Better luck next time.
