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 ...

Its name suggests O'Neill's been admiring the style of South America's native tribes, but you wouldn't know it to look at the Mayan Wallet!

This spotted wallet has barely a hint of Mayan influences. I suppose O'Neill might have had the ancient people in mind when it created ...

Michael Kors shows us a wallet can be more than simply a vessel for holding cash with this Tonne Continental Purse.

The Tonne Continental really is an exercise in restraint. A dash of Ayers snakeskin is all it needs to go from fairly average ...

Bright yellow canvas brings some zing to this Spicy Sac from Dooney & Bourke.

This cheery fabric helps make this traditional bucket style bag seem much more interesting. Unfortunately it's let down though by its leather trim. While the cowhide is luxurious, its color ...

This purse feels like it's stepped right out of the late 60s with its natural ivory toned crochet finish and relaxed tan leather accents. It's not very luxurious, but it's just the thing ...

It seems The SAK might have been taking design lessons from local senior citizens when it created the Stellaris Tote.

This tote's crocheted body has a homely old world charm about it. It's given a bit of a modern kick though with its scalloped edges, which ...

A little heavy metal makes all the difference with this Daphne shoulder bag from Rampage.

At its core this is a very simple, and dare I say boring, shoulder bag. But by adding some chunky silver chain to the sides, Rampage has made it a bit ...

Mad by Design's made a purse that looks much richer than its price tag with this Pearl Phoenix.

Mother of pearl tiles cover the Phoenix's distinctive angular body. The trapezoidal shape is already a showstopper, but the pearlized finish just ...

Some accessory styles never seem to go out of vogue. They may enjoy a renaissance every now and again, but they're never truly unfashionable. So while a purse like the Libby might seem particularly on trend as we all try to emulate the Mad Men look, it'll ...

No one does woven leather like Bottega Veneta. I know that just sounds like my opinion, but I'm pretty sure it's a documented fact. This great Intrecciato tote is proof.

This is one of the most interesting woven bags I've ever seen. The strips of leather that compose the ...

Diane Von Furstenberg definitely has a way with prints. Since the 70s, she's made geometric patterns that stand the test of time and stay stylish for generations. This Drew linen bucket tote is an eye-catching, but timeless accessory.

Cleobella brings a contemporary edge to tribal fashion with this Hudson clutch.

The zig zag print is popular on ethnic themed accessories, but I've never seen it made with studs. The colored metal discs take this African inspired purse into the urban jungle. I really like the way ...

I've seen plenty of ruffled bags in my time, but none quite like this Taylor purse from Bebe.

The large gentle pleats of this flap have a structure that almost makes them feel like plates of armor. These plates are separated by the ultra tight ruched synthetic running ...

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 ...

The casual slouch and long tassel accent give the Amelia its new age feel, but it's not as rustic as many hobo bags tend to be. The cobalt blue leather is very ...

It's possible to spend a fortune on glittering evening purses, but who has a social calendar crowded enough to justify it? Carlo Fellini offers us something more practical with its timeless and affordable Hailey clutch.

The adjectives "timeless" and "affordable" aren't very sexy, but they are ...

Recently I've become disillusioned with bags that don't live up to the promise of their names. There was Roxy's Spicy hobo that had no heat, and Jessica Simpson's Bliss tote that seemed far from blissful. So thank goodness this J. Furmani Elegant clutch ...

Whiting & Davis puts a glam twist on an old favorite with this Mini Twisted hobo.

Hobos are typically bohemian, casual bags but not this shiny beauty. Its metal mesh body makes it much more evening appropriate. Can't you just imagine how ...

Oryany serves up a classic summer tote with the Drew.

Its woven finish in natural toned raffia is a warm weather staple, but the Drew looks much more elegant than many summery purses do. Oryany uses conservative brown leather to trim the tote, rather than a ...

Nancy Gonzalez delivers another enviable piece of arm candy with this Panama Knotted Satchel.

The South American designer has mixed things up a bit here, tying strips of her favorite Caimun fuscus crocodile in knots to create an exotic kind of net. This luxurious black skin ...

Just when I thought studs were becoming passé, Matt & Nat come along and make the metal accents seem fresh. The restraint shown with the Cursive wallet makes me remember why we all fell in love with studs in the first place.

Far too ...

Totes don't come much cuter or quirkier than this Cloudberry bag from Mad Imports.

The little tufts of woven raffia which dot the Cloudberry's body make this purse a textural marvel. These little nodules won't be to everyone's tastes, but nothing with personality ever is. Personally ...

This pretty purse is made from genuine mother of pearl panels, which ...

It seems perforated leather is everywhere these days. Most often it gives accessories a sporty, athletic feel, but under the hands of the right designer these tiny holes can make a purse seem very chic. Linea Pelle's used the finish well with the Addison Tri-Fold ...

The Fossil Vintage range re-lives some of the best traditional vintage moments from our fashion past.

Isaac Mizrahi tests our sanity with this Chic Gesso Printed Tote.

The designer plays by the rules here, giving this tote a traditional boxy shape and pair of rolled handles. It could have come from any fashion house, which is both a blessing and a curse. ...

The Russel has a masculine name, but this Hype satchel is a real lady.

The Russel manages to interpret the feminine structured bags of the 50s on a much larger scale. Our eyes are instantly drawn to the front panel with its even diamond weave, but this isn't ...

The Aster's sexy curves and polished turn-lock closure are pure vintage, but the ...

Diane von Furstenberg serves up a textural feast with this Kelli hobo.

I really love the way the textures emphasize the buttery ...

I've often felt Melie Bianco's favored synthetics look a bit cheap, but there are no ...

Fossil seems to have taken inspiration from the world of Hollywood when it created the Hathaway shopper. But just like the decision to hand Anne Hathaway the Oscars' co-hosting job, this is one shopper that appeared better on paper.

I assume that Fossil decided to treat its leather ...

Versace is one of those lines that always seems to be making a comeback. It never goes out of style completely, but it sort of fades in and out of the spotlight every few years or so. Thankfully, this season it's on the upswing, and this amazing mod white ...

The purse is made from sumptuously soft leather, which slouches in all the right places. Its weathered texture makes it appear relaxed and worn in, like a favorite pair of ...

I am so tired of designers making canvas bags, throwing a label on them and charging $1,000 plus. Seriously, unless you absolutely have to have a giant logo on your bag or you have oodles of cash, what do you need with a $1,000 cotton tote? Gucci, ...

I've seen some glitzy handbags from Prezzo, but this Multi Sequin Hobo really takes the cake.

I'm used to Mywalit ...

Burberry's classic designs have made the British fashion house a preppy staple for decades. Lately, it's been experimenting with slightly edgier designs and working with materials that are a little more affordable. Frankly, the results are more interesting to me than anything it's put out in years and this ...

Marc Jacobs is one of those designers that continues to surprise us. Often he sets the trend with fashion forward, sophisticated accessories. And then he goes and creates something like this.

This USA shopper is nothing like those high-end accessories that make our hearts race. But ...

Christian Louboutin is one of those lines that is totally red carpet ready. Even if the red carpet is your wedding aisle or a fancy cocktail party, this Eden clutch is the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful gown.

The shape of this bag is so unusual, I've really ...

Stella McCartney isn't one of my favorite accessory designers, and I've never made a secret of that. I admire her commitment to using animal-friendly materials, but they don't always make for good designs. But she's sort of surprised me with this fold over tote. ...
