The blend of polyester and polyurethane is a ...

The celebrities carry high-end designer ...

Melie Bianco has created its fair share of "designer influenced" accessories, but I think it's at its best when it's marching to the beat of its own drum. When it strikes off on its own and refuses to bow to fads it creates practical purses ...

McKlein's got your workday covered with this Avon briefcase.

While it doesn't exactly get my pulse racing, I appreciate the Avon's feminine curves. The burgundy leather also isn't particularly lustworthy, but its quality can't be faulted. Let's remember the Avon's purpose though. It's a briefcase, a bag designed ...

The structured design ...

We're used to Maddalena Marconi creating high class evening accessories dripping in rhinestones and lace. We've criticized the label for being too lavish and too expensive, but we could rarely say it lacked class. So I'm surprised to see a very different side of the ...

Mad by Design embraces its silly side with this Sunflower Cross-Body Bag.

One look at this purse and you know it's never going to become your go-to accessory. Its distinctive flower shape won't suit high brow events or business meetings, and it'll be too ...

Middleton was the name on everyone's lips last year, whether you were admiring the poise of older sister Kate or the curves of young Pippa. So it's quite canny for London Fog to use the famous surname for this satchel.

While its name will encourage eyeballs ...

I enjoyed Lauren Merkin's distinctive pleated clutch purses when I first discovered them, but her formulaic designs became tired pretty quickly. So I'm thrilled to see her working with Michelle Fantaci, a designer who's breathed new life into the label with bags like the Essex.

While ...

This is one of those special black handbags that ...

Gwen Stefani’s taken an uncharacteristically conservative approach to fashion with this Marlene satchel.

Ordinarily L.A.M.B.'s accessories feature loud Rasta inspired color schemes, neon colors, or checkerboards, but there's none of that flamboyance here. Instead the soft tumbled leather finish is classically rendered with diamond quilting. The black color ...

Jalda reminds us that fabric can be every bit as beautiful as its favorite leathers with the Masha.

Franchi offers classic evening style for less with this Tania Napa Clutch.

A more cynical reviewer might say that we've seen it all before. But no matter how many times I see a high quality leather stitched with diamond quilting, it's impressive. The leather in this ...

Fossil takes us back to the 70s with this boho inspired Modern Cargo Tote.

The buttery soft leather gives the Modern Cargo its casually cool silhouette. The slightly shiny skin reminds us that it isn't the best quality leather, but it's better than most materials at ...

Felix Rey's accessories have been a bit silly of late. Those smiling faces, cockatoos, and great big bows might have seemed whimsical at first, but all too quickly the line started to feel like a joke. Thankfully Felix Rey's toned things ...
