Of course Molly Ringwald's character in the John Hughes film could never have afforded an exotic designer purse, but I can imagine her gazing longingly at this neon ...

This purse's beaded finish is just what we've come to expect from KC Malhan. The tiny accents are applied expertly, and as the work's done by hand we can trust it'll ...

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 ...

Neon colors help punch up this simple Mott Wristlet from Gorjana.

I was surprised to see the label creating such a basic wristlet. Its pouch shape is very ordinary, and devoid of the usual charm we see on the label's purses. The material and color palette appeases me ...

Fossil always creates solid accessories, but it's done little to truly excite me of late. So I'm thrilled to see the American label shaking things up with this Campbell Hobo.

The gorgeous laser-cut finish really sucked me in. A delicate art deco design is punched into the leather ...

Oh, Jimmy Choo, women all over the world sell their souls just to be close to you. Okay, I may not be much of a poet, but the sentiment remains: Jimmy Choo is a design guru. Which I, frankly, have never really understood, because mostly ...

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 ...

While Ed Hardy doesn't say this tote isn't specifically designed for little girls, I can't imagine anyone over the age of 12 warming to it, can you? Its pink hue is exceptionally sugary, especially ...

Alexander McQueen's designs make me kind of weak. His edgy sensibility is well balanced with exquisite material choices that make for upscale street smart accessories. This De Manta clutch retains the great design of the other bags in the line, but gives them a feminine twist in ...

This bag is signature Baby Phat. Its ...

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 ...

J. Furmani serves up a cute evening purse for girls on a budget with this Petal purse.

The evening bag gets its name from the soft ruffles that decorate its body. They really do resemble large rose petals if you look at them the right way. ...

An eye-popping woven finish helps this brown Serena tote stand out from the crowd.

I've never seen a weave quite like this. It reminds me of those optical illusion illustrations we'd stare at as children. In fact, I find myself getting just as hypnotized as I ...

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 ...

A sophisticated shoulder bag that's relatively affordable is music to my ears, so it's only fitting that Zac Posen called this purse from his Z Spoke diffusion line the Melody.

I was instantly attracted to the Melody’s stylish domed top and clean lines. The ...

Versace makes a very strong style statement with this Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag. But do you like what it's saying?

I can safely say this is a bag that you'll either love or hate. It's brash, as fuchsia bags always are. The metallic treatment ...

If you don't take this tote bag too seriously, I wouldn't worry. I don't think Tommy Hilfiger does either.

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 ...

Any man who hasn't already snagged a Valentine's Day gift for his lady love is cutting it fine. However his disorganization may be forgiven if he indulges in one of the romantic purses from the Chanel Valentine's Day 2012 collection.

The French fashion house resisted ...

You'll have to really like pink to embrace the purse. Nina Ricci ups the sugar levels for this highly saturated color. It's one of the girliest shades I've ever seen, and the ...

Hollywood isn't all about beautiful actors and actresses earning the big bucks. For every star there's a hundred busboys and waitresses looking for their big break. Perhaps Mellow World had these starry-eyed folks in mind when it created its Hollywood hobo.

Mar Y Sol gives raffia a retro makeover with this Billie clutch.

There's a fun 80s vibe around this ruffled purse. I've never seen raffia looking quite this feminine, or this pink. There are more sedate natural toned and espresso colored options, but if you're going ...

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 ...
