We all know Savanna as a cheap and cheerful label, but with this Austrian Crystal Topaz Minaudiere it shows us it's also got a glamorous side.

This minaudiere isn't too different to the ones Judith Leiber creates, although its design is much more wearable than many ...

Nancy Gonzalez adds python to her signature crocodile skin with the aim of offering twice the luxury and twice the looks. However, sadly this tote somehow ends up being less than the sum of its parts.

I really can't fault the exotic ...

Carolina Herrera has released a new limited edition shopper to celebrate the opening of her latest CH Carolina Herrera store in Abu Dhabi.

The shopping bag, which is available exclusively to customers of the Abu Dhabi store, is made of elegant metallic gold ...

Louis Vuitton shows it's got the stuff it takes to make minaudieres with the best of them. It's just a shame that the label still hasn't learned the art of restraint.

There's a lot to love about this minaudiere. Its jewel shape is really striking, and ...

I love leopard print, but I'm never sure how to wear it without appearing like a cougar. However I think I might have found my answer in this Mesh Hard Body Clutch from La Regale.

This structured box clutch is crafted from ...

There's something to be said for the classics. The market is flooded with sequin covered clutch purses, yet somehow this Espey clutch from Kotur manages to make a big impression.

Part of the secret must be the cleverly selected metallic sequins. The tiny polished discs move ...

JJ Winters has crafted another celebrity favorite with this Tiny Turtle clutch.

I haven't always warmed to the label's purses as, in my opinion, they try too hard to follow trends. The Tiny Turtle takes a different approach though, and it's a stronger bag ...

Don't be fooled by its hard exterior. This HardCase Shinny Clutch from J. Furmani is a feminine beauty at heart.

I love the combination of cool metal and soft fabric used here. The frame is modern, angular and artistic. It's a gorgeous contrast to ...

Just like the Amazon goddesses that inspired it, this Fural Amazzone satchel knows how to make a big impression.

It had me at that lush metallic color. I rarely warm to metallic leathers, but this one is just subtle enough to win me over. Called Argento, it's a ...

Elie Tahari's taken a chic and simple approach to design with the Emory cross-body bag.

The basic fold-over design is one we've all seen before, but I appreciate Elie Tahari's execution here. The leather is thick and plush, so the shape has a bit more volume ...

Ed Hardy's back to his self-promoting best with this Tina hobo.

It's got the slouchy silhouette we expect to see on a hobo, but that's where the similarities end. The bohemian vibe typical of the style has been stripped away and replaced with a much brasher ...

Marilyn Monroe remains one of the world's most enduring stars. Almost 50 years after her death she's still emulated and adored by celebrities and fashion followers alike. No doubt Carlo Fellini will hope the clutch he's created in her name is every bit as timeless.

He's ...

In this busy modern world, most of us never leave our technology too far behind. Latico ensures we can keep our laptop and our style when we step out with this Joplin Tote.

This tote's cheerful golden color turned my head. All too often tech accessories ...

Nine West turns up the glitz with this Sky Dive shopper.

The shiny gold finish on this shopper makes it difficult to ignore. Quilting ordinarily adds richness to any surface, but here it creates a puffiness that calls to mind winter bomber jackets. It's ...

Maison Martin Margiela's certainly turned my head with this unusual metallic clutch. However I'm not sure that grabbing attention is always the best thing.

This purse is very quirky, with its oversized flap and folded sides. And just to make sure we ...

Literal rather than metaphorical corners have been cut in this stylish Cut-Corner Minaudiere from Judith Leiber.

It gets its name not from shoddy craftsmanship but from its stylish angled corners. I really love the contemporary quirk they bring to what is otherwise a very traditional Judith ...

J. Tiras has created an evening purse with its own sense of style with the Lynn.

This pebbled clutch is a real beauty with its high quality finish and unusual rounded square shape. The polished metal closure finishes things off beautifully. You simply twist it to ...

Carlo Fellini lets the clasp do all the talking with this gorgeous Natalie clutch.

This purse is all about that large semi-circle clasp. The closure is studded with rhinestones, adding the bling that this fairly simple clutch needs to stand out. I like this classic combination ...

I've admired the buttery soft leather of Alla Leather Art's day bags for some time. Now with the Butterfly wristlet, we see what the label can do on a smaller scale.

In short, I'm impressed. This wristlet is fairly simple, but it's sucked me ...

Burberry used to be known for its preppy, traditional aesthetics. Of course it still makes all its classic check accessories, but now its styles are more contemporary classic than conservative. This metallic leather wristlet is a great example of the label's modern style.

The gold leather on this ...

It's not big enough for carrying your ball to the local lanes, but I've fallen hard for this Debut Bowler from Stuart Weitzman.

It's strange, because this isn't usually the sort of bag that would start my pulse racing. Colorblocking has never been my favorite look, ...

Inge Christopher dresses up linen with this Willa cross-body bag.

This is a very clever bag, as it gives us the exotic looks of a snake purse in a much more durable and affordable package. The metallic pewter sheen of the snake scales makes ...

Coach shows some uncharacteristic sparkle with this Occasion sequin wristlet.

I've never seen Coach quite so spangly as it appears here. Gone are the signature prints we typically expect from the line, replaced instead with a cacophony of glittering gold sequins. If you look closely you can see ...

Tory Burch gets rustic with this Rattan Flap Clutch.

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 ...

I've always felt that Stuart Weitzman's designs were a bit hit and miss. Sadly I think he's come down on the latter side with this Cane Buddha shoulder bag.

There's a certain appeal to the relaxed, unstructured shape of this large hobo bag. Its ...

Recently, I've been a big fan of the MICHAEL by Michael Kors line. It's been full of reasonably-priced, chic accessories. Unfortunately, the Julian is not one of them.

Michael Kors does faux snakeskin better than any line I can think of. Which makes it duly ...

Serpui Marie brings back flapper fashion with this Malaga clutch.

It might just be me, but I can't help thinking of those 1920s Charleston dresses as I look at this clutch's short golden fringing. The use of raffia, a material I haven't seen on a fringed ...

With a little black clutch the magic is in the detail.

In the case of the Sutton clutch, Michael Kors has put the effort into those very details. The first touch is in the fabric choice, a  genuine python leather that, as always with exotic skins, oozes class ...

The Disco City mini bag from Foley & Corinna takes a favorite brand design (that curved handle and long shape) and applies it to a mini bag format. The result? An unusual looking purse with enough added glamour to really make ...

We can always count on La Regale to create chic evening accessories at affordable prices. But rarely do we see La Regale offering a purse as modern as this one. This Pinwheel Beaded purse is a great option for girls who embrace contemporary fashion.

We tend ...

I don't know about you, but I don't like to spend a lot of money on after-five accessories. My social calendar just isn't busy enough to justify a purse that won't get a serious workout. However, all too often affordable clutch purses look just as ...

Woven leather is a high end designer trademark, but you needn't spend the big bucks to enjoy this look. J. Furmani replicates this luxury staple with this more affordable woven metallic clutch.

OK, so no one's going to mistake this purse for a Bottega ...

Dolce & Gabbana neatly demonstrates the difference a little class can make in a leopard print clutch.

You see, leopard print can be kind of tacky. Done wrong, it looks more "tarts boudoir" than "exotic luxury," and it just isn't good. However, ...

Who said boho had to be scruffy? This spectacularly complex Cleobella hobo shows that beads and tribal prints can look utterly classy.

Were this just a fabric bag, then it seems fair to assume that the Nikko wouldn't necessarily stand out from the crowd. The pattern ...

Halston Heritage makes snakeskin shine with this glamorous Monique purse.

The Monique is a simple creature with clean lines and a basic shape, but its materials really spice it up. The body is made from a light rose gold colored watersnake, an exotic which is made ...

Gucci shakes off its stuffy image and puts on the glitz with this Malika clutch.

Gucci is ordinarily so staid and refined, that I hardly believed it was behind this playful purse. Happily it's just as luxurious as any handbag we'd expect the Italian fashion house to produce, ...

Armani Exchange is celebrating its 20th anniversary with web exclusive designs like this modern leather hobo. With its electric blue body and relaxed slouch, this handbag would look perfect paired with your favorite pair of jeans.

Armani Exchange has tweaked the traditional hobo format ...

We might not all have a title and handsome prince like Kate Middleton, but we can enjoy a little of the same indulgence with this Princess clutch.

This golden barrel purse is covered in twinkling Swarovski crystals. That's surprising at this point; I might have expected rhinestones or ...

We have already introduced you to the past versions of the Prunella, but this new cork edition was so summer-appropriate that I couldn't resist showing it to you again!

Interestingly the conversion from leather to cork instantly makes the Prunella into a day bag. The evening ...

The Neutron Snake Regine may be the catchiest name in the handbag world, and that over-statement is carried on in the design!

What do I mean by that? Well, firstly there is the snakeskin print leather, in a mottled range of gold ...

If I said "dimpled metal bow," you might be forgiven for thinking that the resulting creation would be terribly ugly. Instead, however, Lauren Merkin has shown that she really can make anything work!

The fold-over shape of this clutch is simple, which is perhaps why ...

Fruit prints are all over the fashion world at the moment but many of the pineapples and bananas are hard to wear in the real world! Thankfully I think Kate Spade has managed to make the trend much more wearable by keeping ...

Felix Rey lays its heart on its purse with this romantic I Heart You Pochette.

The designer often crosses the line between whimsical and novelty, and I think he may have done it again here. The concept is sound, but the execution ...

Inge Christopher abandons its usual classic aesthetic for something more edgy with this Elsa minaudiere.

We're used to seeing minaudieres packed with Swarovski crystals on the high end and rhinestones on the low. Either way those faceted stones make them glimmer and gleam when they catch ...

Big Buddha reminds us that fashion-forward accessories don't need to cost the earth with this Maya hobo handbag

The woven finish of this bag is really striking. Big Buddha hasn't tried to replicate the looks of weave masters like Bottega Veneta. Instead it's gone out on ...

The simple things in life are often the best, but sometimes they're just downright boring. The jury's still out on what camp the Sleek clutch from Whiting & Davis falls into.

I admit, my first impression was to dismiss this purse as a half-hearted ...

Anya Hindmarch seems to be having sort of an aesthetic crisis. Her most recent designs have been mostly interesting, but they've been all across the spectrum. This Fergus clutch is a little more sparkly and a little less girly than her designs have been lately, but ...

Inge Christopher embraces the charms of vintage fashion, along with a dash of retro Madonna, with this Ann Baguette clutch.

The combination of bold black lace laid over neutral pale gray fabric is both enchantingly old fashioned and retro cool. The golden accents help push this ...

MICHAEL Michael Kors is a diffusion line worth keeping an eye on, especially when it comes to making high quality faux exotic bags. This Edie tote has a great combination of style and affordability that makes it pretty irresistible.

The gold metallic python-embossed leather on ...

After seeing so many of Whiting & Davis' envelope-pushing metal mesh purse, it's refreshing to see the label getting back to basics with this Dimple Mesh framed clutch.

Not that this purse doesn't break a few rules. Rather than using classic flat ...
