Harveys is celebrating its 15th year creating bags from seatbelts with the release of a limited edition purse, a bamboo-handled hobo and some fun new colors.

The 15th Anniversary Satchel is a bit of a blast from the past, as it features the label's first ...

Kooba offers two bags for one low price with the Ava.

In regular mode the Ava is a very tall, spacious tote. Its buttery grained leather has a weathered appearance which in this indigo hue is reminiscent of denim. I can just imagine how good it would look ...

Delicious berry hues help this Rex clutch from Kara Ross stand out from the pack.

Traditionalists may not approve of the sugary hues, as we'd never see them on a real snake. But my inner girly girl loves the way Kara Ross has treated this exotic ...

Serpentine scales make the Salini hobo from Jalda a very refined creature.

The embossed scales are significantly larger than we typically see on snake-style bags. Jalda says the bolder finish is inspired by anacondas, and I've never been close enough to one of these jungle giants to argue! ...

Imoshion has fun with fashion with the Rachel tote. But do you enjoy this bold accessory as much as the label?

This bag is far from sophisticated. Its furry pink finish doesn't even attempt to mimic the opulence of animal fur. In fact, it looks like Imoshion may ...

Francesco Biasia offers a chic woven leather handbag for less with this Ismene hobo.

The label has clearly taken inspiration from Bottega Veneta here. The Ismene's woven leather is delicate and refined, every bit the equal to the tight weaves Bottega Veneta offers. But the bold ...

Emilie Sloane goes pretty in pink with this Diane Cross-Body Bag.

This purse is perfectly pleasant, with a sugary pink base and cute floral print. The lime green trim and strap are an adorable complement to the Diane's feminine finish. It looks pretty, but something tells ...

You don't need to be fluent in Italian to know that bella means beautiful. While this Bella tote from Ellington has some elements that fit that adjective, it seems the label may be too confident in its design abilities.

The glazed blue Italian leather Ellington's used here is ...

Echo abandons its usual casual fabrics for something a little more dressed up with this Soft Patent North South Tote.

This tote has all the gloss of a real patent, but its finish is much softer which makes it seem a bit ...

B. Makowsky's ditched his usual leather for fabric to create this casual Ollie satchel.

While soft materials are often regarded as leather's poor cousins, I don't feel shortchanged by the fabric. Its weathered finish reminds me of denim, and it shares the same casual appeal. The ...

Alla Leather Art helps you prepare for your next short getaway with this Tarantella Weekender Bag.

The Tarantella is one of Alla Leather Art's simplest bags, but I think that's for the best. It's so large that it'd appear obnoxious ...

Soft glazed leather helps this Paulette handbag from Hobo International turn heads.

I've seen the Paulette in various skins, including glossy patents and exotic impersonators, but this buttery leather is the pick of them. We've seen it in Hobo International's other Vintage purses, but it's used ...

Kotur takes a break from its usual clutches to deliver this more upmarket Rene Mosaic Minaudiere.

Kotur's clutch purses are usually elegant, but they look positively casual next to this polished beauty. I love the way the fashion house has used pale polished squares of mother ...

Lucky Brand embodies Californian cool with this West Coast East-West tote bag.

Denim isn't just for jeans; it's actually one of my favorite affordable materials. Unlike synthetic, it's not trying to be anything that it's not. Yet it appears much richer than other commonly ...

There's no mystery about this Vans Sacked tote. It’s honestly little more than a sack!

Admittedly it's a bit more attractive than a regular sack. The cotton fabric is soft to the touch and well decorated with a diagonal striped design. I find this pattern more interesting than ...

Herschel Supply goes back to basics with this Settlement Backpack.

Backpacks really don't get much simpler than this. Its domed top and clean, minimalist design are hallmarks of the style. Herschel Supply hasn't worried about fashion forward features, but that should see this design endure.

The range ...

Brynn Capella gets us ready for summer days on the beach and picnics in the park with this Sierra Bamboo Tote.

The Sierra is made from high quality fabrics including cotton and toile. These materials are paired with a small bamboo handle in the tradition of ...

The military look might have fallen out of favor in recent seasons, but Brynn Capella looks to bring the style back with the Zee satchel.

While its aesthetic isn't on trend, the Zee doesn't really look dated, perhaps because Brynn Capella hasn't gone overboard. Its chevron ...

Baggallini puts its stamp on the classic doctor bag style with the Berlin.

Frankly this is the kind of purse that's easy to overlook. Its design is neat enough, but it doesn't really do anything to command attention. It's available in 12 different colors, but these tame hues ...

Ecogear have added new Dually backpacks, especially created for kids, to its sustainable accessories line.

All Dually backpacks are crafted entirely from natural, water-resistant cotton. The fabric is then colored with non-toxic dyes. The material is complemented by recycled plastic components. Its straps are padded to protect young ...

The Modena sounds good on paper, but sadly this is just another lacklustre hobo from Lola Bernard.

I'm not entirely sure where Lola Bernard went wrong here. She's used real leather rather than that cheap synthetic stuff. She's also added some crocodile-esque embossing to make the ...

Canadian fashion photographer and blogger Tommy Ton has flexed his creative muscles to create two handbags in collaboration with Club Monaco.

Since Ton spends so much time writing about fashion and capturing it on film, it makes sense that he'd try his ...

An exotic finish helps make this simple Debi Clutch from Brahmin something special.

Brahmin's created one of the most convincing crocodile embossed skins I've seen. The rich scaly texture would probably fool even the biggest exotic fans, at least until they saw the Debi's price tag. A purse ...

Tianni follows Ed Hardy's lead with this Rose Tattoo Cross-Body Bag.

Sadly this bag comes off as a poor imitation of those gaudy graphic bags. I've never really warmed to Ed Hardy's bold prints, but at least they were part of the label's original ...

Sun N' Sand is helping us get ready for summer with this Coastal Flip Flops Tote.

I haven't always warmed to Sun N' Sand's cheap and cheerful accessories, but this is one of its better designs. While it would look ...

Sherpani delivers a messenger bag without frills with its Verve handbag.

If you're looking for a high class accessory, this isn't it. But as casual messengers go, the Verve is a fun option. I really love the contrast of the subdued brown body and the icy sky blue ...

Never lose your bag at the airport turnstile again with this Bright Lights Spinner from Samsonite.

This travel bag is definitely one for the girly girls. While it's also available in black and blue, it's this shocking pink hue that makes the strongest style ...

Reed Krakoff has created a bag for all seasons with this Atlantique tote.

This is the kind of handbag I don't mind spending the big bucks on. While my husband would never agree, I consider it an investment in a fashionable future rather than an attempt ...

Phillip Lim threatens to put us all to sleep with this Scuba Neoprene Clutch.

Fashion snobs might call it minimalist, but I think it looks like Phillip Lim forgot to design this purse at all! I don't mind a simple purse with clean lines. However I ...

My belief in magic went out the window the moment my parents told me the nasty truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. However Mywalit insists there's something miraculous about this Magic wallet.

I don't think it's as bewitching as its name suggests, but its internal design ...

While the fashion industry has been looking forward to warm weather for a while, I've been struggling to get on board. I'm very comfortable warming myself by the fire and slumming around the house in my sweats, thanks all the same. But Magid ...

If it ain't broke, why fix it? That's the clearly the design ethos of Lux de Ville, who serves up another retro accessory with this Getaway Satchel.

The Getaway takes us back to the 50s with its clean lines and structured shape. The sparkly ...

Kavu's created a backpack for girls on a budget with the Samish. Its name is quite appropriate, because this backpack appears to be the same as many others on the market. Its shape and design are very familiar, but there are a few key aspects that make ...

Kara Ross has created a purse for girls craving a bit more space with the Trinity.

This satchel's mid-sized dimensions and functional features make a refreshing change of pace from the clutches Kara Ross is famous for. It's every bit as luxurious as those ...

Jimmy Choo adds some extra luxury to the wristlet purse style with the Rivera.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a wristlet looking quite this chic. The secret is the luxurious snakeskin body, which is all the more appealing in cobalt blue. A neutral hue may ...

Imoshion offers the low prices we've come to expect in a more high class package with the Julia clutch.

It might be made of imitation fur, but its soft body is every bit as striking as the real deal. An edgy snakeskin embossed belt cinches in the clutch ...

Forget those overdone sequined and studded evening purses. Giuseppe Zanotti offers a much sleeker alternative with this Tassel Clutch.

Its body needs no embellishment to draw us in. Its soft suede surface is beautiful enough, particularly in this flattering cobalt blue hue. The color makes a ...

Miu Miu is commemorating the opening of its new Houston store with release of a new limited edition trio of purses.

The luxurious snakeskin evening bags are available in three pastel colors: powder blue, pale pink, and a creamy beige hue. Each one is finished ...

Emilie Sloan serves up another cute and practical accessory with this Sonja satchel.

I'm smitten by this satchel's domed shape, and the pop of the patent leatherette lime trim. The shiny green piping and handles look gorgeous against the delicate Asian inspired floral fabric.

The midsized interior ...

Ellington's opted for functionality over flair with this Mia cross-body bag.

While it lacks the fashion forward accents that style conscious women look for, there's a certain charm to the design. I really like the look of the bright blue nylon against the tan leather accents. ...

You can wax lyrical about your white Christmases, but this gloomy weather is beginning to grate on me. I can't boost the temperature, but I can fantasize about being somewhere warmer when I'm looking at this Batik Leaf Bucket Tote from Echo.

This tote bag's relaxed ...

Cole Haan serves up traditional design with a touch of the exotic in this Hayden Charlott Satchel.

This satchel has the structured design and clean lines of the most sophisticated handbags, but its exotic finish is what really makes it special. A large lizard ...

Adidas takes the path well traveled with this Moseley Backpack.

This isn't a knapsack that breaks rules. We've seen it all before, from its domed top to its dual padded straps. Even the blue plaid print has been done to death. But just because something's classic doesn't mean ...

Sherpani's created a purse of uncharacteristic style with the Ivy.

It's certainly not sophisticated, but the Ivy's playful design is much prettier than most of the label's creations. They don't all take my fancy; the neutral Canyon bag's a bit boring and the artsy graphic on ...

Betsey Johnson tones down her usual flash for this Heart-Y Girl Shopper from her Betseyville line.

The deep blue denim is a much tamer choice than the animal printed synthetics she tends to favor. A giant heart at the center is outlined with black shiny synthetic, ...

Rebecca Minkoff serves up her signature sophisticated style for new moms with this Marissa diaper bag.

This spacious tote has many of the hallmarks of Minkoff's modern accessories. The designer's fans will note the signature circle quilting and delicate golden studs. The finish makes the electric ...

JanSport walks on the wild side with this bold Elefunk messenger bag.

Its neon animal printed finish will polarize fashion fans, but I adore it. Perhaps it's because I’m a child of the 80s, but I think the rainbow colors and animalistic array of spots and ...

The SAK gives the classic sports duffel a bohemian makeover with this crochet purse.

This duffel looks like so many gym bags on the market, with one vital difference. The nylon we're used to has been replaced with a tightly woven crochet finish. It ...

BelArno's created a fun and functional purse with this Tri-Zip Clutch.

Its simple design is livened up by bright stripes of color. We're taken from a pale violet to a deep eggplant shade with this purple clutch, but it's just one of five options. That includes a solid ...

Big Buddha may have created its most outrageous purse yet with this Studio Cross-Body Bag.

The name calls to mind Studio 54, the New York discotheque frequented by a who's who of 80s celebrities. I doubt this bag would have looked out of place there, but ...
