Laura Matthews Designs Lambskin Clutch with Nickel Plate | Cobra Patterned Leather Mini Tote

Laura Matthews Designs Lambskin Clutch with Nickel Plate | Cobra Patterned Leather Mini Tote

It's officially called a clutch, but this Laura Matthews Designs bag appears much more like a mini tote to me!

Names aside, this lambskin purse is a nice alternative to those ridiculously tiny clutches we're used to carrying. It comes with space for party essentials and then some, and the leather handle ...


Chocolate City Flap Clutch | Metal Studded Pink Synthetic Purse

Chocolate City Flap Clutch | Metal Studded Pink Synthetic Purse

Edgy metal studs are one of the biggest trends of the season. But it seems Chocolate took the style writers at their word when it created the City Flap Clutch.

Whether it's right on trend or overdosing, you'll have to decide yourself. There is an awful lot of metal there, but it ...


Treesje Metro Clutch | Modern Lambskin Leather Turnlock Purse

Treesje Metro Clutch | Modern Lambskin Leather Turnlock Purse

While many clutch purses are strictly after five affairs, the contemporary good looks of Treesje's Metro make it just as appropriate for daytime toting.

Complementary stitching around the borders of the purse and its flap add definition to the buttery soft lambskin. The sexy angular pleating in the centre adds even more ...

Tignanello Touchables Belting Shopper | Belt Accent Lilac Leather Handbag

If you're planning on braving the malls for a spot of Christmas bargain hunting, you'll need a good shopper in tow. While your best gal pal fits the bill, I'm thinking of a leather variety. Meet the Tignanello Touchables Belting Shopper.

This is one of those special beauties which combines style and ...


Jalda Kona Slouchy Clutch | Exotic and Brilliantly Bright Eel Skin Purse

Jalda Kona Slouchy Clutch | Exotic and Brilliantly Bright Eel Skin Purse

Exotic fabrics are alsways a great gimmick, and eel skin leather is one of the smoothest softest gimmicks around!

I am a particular fan of this leather, and Jalda produce some of the most luxurious materials around. You pay for that luxury, but if you want something a bit special, that is always going ...

Rampage Cadence Cross-Body Tote Bag | Convertible Snakeskin Ruched Handbag

Rampage Cadence Cross-Body Tote Bag | Convertible Snakeskin Ruched Handbag

Rampage shows us what happens when a designer follows the trends, and decides to use all of them on the one handbag, with this confused Cadence cross-body tote.

Snakeskin printed fabric. Check. Ruching. Check. Eyecatching metal hardware. Check and check. It's just simply too much. Honestly, the ruching would have been too ...


Lucky Brand Stash Bag | Versatile Soft Italian Leather Carryall Handbag

Lucky Brand Stash Bag | Versatile Soft Italian Leather Carryall Handbag

If a hobo handbag and a messenger had a torrid affair, the Stash Bag from Lucky Brand could easily result.

It's got the soft slouch of a hobo, the foldover flap of a messenger, and the relaxed attitude of both! The casual slouch profile comes from the buttery Italian leather, which falls ...


Lodis Arno Runway Clutch Purse | Affordable Authentic Croc Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag

Lodis Arno Runway Clutch Purse | Affordable Authentic Croc Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag

Lodis is a brand that knows its niche. It’s not one to take risks, but the label always delivers chic and sophisticated accessories.

That might make the Arno Runway seem like a bit of a misnomer. When I think catwalk I think of cutting edge styles and fashion-forward looks. There's none of ...


Kathy Van Zeeland Heartbeat Satchel | Shiny Synthetic Handbag with Diagonal Zips

Kathy Van Zeeland Heartbeat Satchel | Shiny Synthetic Handbag with Diagonal Zips

Kathy Van Zeeland fans are sure to feel their heart race when they clamp eyes on the Heartbeat satchel. But for the rest of us, it probably won't be love at first sight.

Hype Mia Tote | Large Croc-Embossed Leather North-South Bag

Hype Mia Tote | Large Croc-Embossed Leather North-South Bag

It's got a little name, but the Mia tote from Hype is big, bright, and bold!

This larger than life handbag has enough space inside to hold everything you need, and enough style to impress. The finish is billed as crocodile-embossed leather, but nobody is going to believe this is a genuine ...


Guess Oyster Satchel Bag | Colorblock Diagonal Striped Handbag

Guess Oyster Satchel Bag | Colorblock Diagonal Striped Handbag

Guess is always one to jump on the trend bandwagon. With the Oyster satchel, the brand follows the current taste for colorblock accessories.

Colorblock designs offer a very specific look, and one which isn't likely to last beyond a season or two. Yet the complementary blend of colors here might help ...


Furla Nausicaa Shopper Bag | Extra Small Retro Purple Croco Leather Purse

Furla Nausicaa Shopper Bag | Extra Small Retro Purple Croco Leather Purse

The Nausicaa shows a shopper doesn't have to carry your every purchase. Instead, this extra small Furla bag gives you a place for stashing your cash and credit cards.

In a world of oversized shopping bags, this one's dimensions are closer to a petite clutch. The tiny space is lined with suede ...


Foley + Corinna Lady Knot Tote | Sophisticated Beige Leather Carryall Bag

Foley + Corinna Lady Knot Tote | Sophisticated Beige Leather Carryall Bag

The Lady Knot tote is something a little different from Foley + Corinna. Gone is the basic body with its front zipper pocket. There's no signature handle with its knotted ends. It doesn't even convert to a clutch. In fact, if you hadn't told me this was a Foley + Corinna ...


Jessica Jensen Grace Portfolio/Foldover Clutch | Purple Ostrich-Embossed Leather Bag

Jessica Jensen Grace Portfolio/Foldover Clutch | Purple Ostrich-Embossed Leather Bag

Jessica Jensen seems to have a handle on creating unique clutches that will work with a variety of outfits, and this Grace foldover clutch from the label's collection is definitely a standout among others.

In an attempt to bring exotic leather to a reasonable price range, this handbag is crafted from the softest of ...


Elliott Lucca Trieste Cross-Body Bag | Small Poppy Red Pleated Textured Leather Purse

Elliott Lucca Trieste Cross-Body Bag | Small Poppy Red Pleated Textured Leather Purse

Cross-body bags tend to be big and bulky affairs. There's convenience in that oversized approach, but not a lot of style. Elliott Lucca delivers a daintier option with the Trieste.

This is one smooth operator, with its inverted pleat design and chic braided strap. The textured leather is incredibly soft, and surprisingly ...


Devi Kroell Python Roman Handbag | Large Shiny Dark Purple Snakeskin Shoulder Bag

Devi Kroell Python Roman Handbag | Large Shiny Dark Purple Snakeskin Shoulder Bag

Devi Kroell is the undisputed queen of the exotic. Her designs may not please PETA, but they're a favorite amongst fashion fans. It's not very politically correct, but it's hard to resist the charms of this Roman handbag.

The slouchy shape and casual styling is fairly traditional and tame. That allows the ...


Melie Bianco S9-96 Shoulder Bag | Purple Synthetic Leather Tote

Melie Bianco S9-96 Shoulder Bag | Purple Synthetic Leather Tote

I'm a little thrown off by the name of this Melie Bianco handbag. In a list of other style choices like the Franny, Ramona, and the descriptive Croco Envelope Bag, this technical sounding S9-96 Shoulder Bag seems a little out of place. However, the design is synonymous with the brand's classic ...


Jessica Simpson Downtown Tote | Faux Leather Handbag with Studs and Detachable Strap

Jessica Simpson Downtown Tote | Faux Leather Handbag with Studs and Detachable Strap

This Jessica Simpson handbag design is a simple but interesting change of pace from a brand that can sometimes includes a few too many trends on one purse, in my opinion.

Granted, I have appreciated a few of Simpson's recent releases, such as the Jimmy Satchel and the Runway Tote. Now ...


B. Makowsky Havana N/S Hobo | Soft Ruched Leather Handbag

B. Makowsky Havana N/S Hobo | Soft Ruched Leather Handbag

Here's another installment from B. Makowsky's collection of handbags named after famous cities around the world. There must be something about Havana and hobos, however, since both 7 For All Mankind and Hayden-Harnett have hobos by the same name.

There's aren't too many features that the other brands' versions share with this ...


Bulga Messenger Bag | Stylish Leather School Handbag With Long Straps

Bulga Messenger Bag | Stylish Leather School Handbag With Long Straps

Just in time for the back-to-school rush comes Bulga's originally named Messenger Bag. Messengers are nothing new, but this one has few details sure to please style-conscious students.

The first thing you'll notice is the fabric. Buttery soft leather is nothing new for Bulga, but it's something a bit different for a ...


Big Buddha Soho Handbag | Soft Fringed Hobo Bag with Studded Tassels

Big Buddha Soho Handbag | Soft Fringed Hobo Bag with Studded Tassels

Big Buddha gives the hobo a contemporary makeover with the Soho.

It features two of fall's biggest trends: fringe and pyramid studs. Yet by keeping the accents in check, the look is timeless rather than faddish. The fringing is short, ensuring the purse never looks like it's just stepped from the South. ...


Be & D Guinevere Clutch | Patent Leather Evening Purse with Bow Detail

Be & D Guinevere Clutch | Patent Leather Evening Purse with Bow Detail

The Be & D Guinevere is a purse which embraces the flirty side of femininity.

When so many feminine purses are pink and prissy, it's refreshing to find a clutch which is so much sexier. Choose from smooth purple patent or this polished black crinkled leather. Both are eye-catching options, but the ...


Bally Verbella Tote Bag | Purple Vintage Art Fabric Purse

Bally Verbella Tote Bag | Purple Vintage Art Fabric Purse

This Verbella tote from Bally is just the thing for adding a dose of vintage sass to your wardrobe.

Ashley M Bow Tie Evening Bag | Fun Pink Sequined Party Purse

Ashley M Bow Tie Evening Bag | Fun Pink Sequined Party Purse

Ashley M is one of those rare fashion labels which doesn't take itself too seriously. Its accessories are unashamedly cheap and cheerful, flights of fancy that favor fun over chic styling.

That's definitely the case with this bow tie purse. It's not intended to suit a red carpet occasion or night at ...


Whiting & Davis Cross-Body Dance Bag | Shimmery Mesh Zippered Pouch with Optional Straps

Whiting & Davis Cross-Body Dance Bag | Shimmery Mesh Zippered Pouch with Optional Straps

This is one Whiting & Davis handbag that doesn't make me automatically think of a bygone era. Well, that's not entirely true, I suppose, since it does have a certain '70s disco vibe going on with it. However, in comparison to some of the brand's truly vintage-inspired designs, this Cross-Body Dance Bag ...


Elaine Turner Madison Pouchette | Small Shoulder Bag with Embossed Tortoise Finish

Elaine Turner Madison Pouchette | Small Shoulder Bag with Embossed Tortoise Finish

Why should snake and crocodile get all the accolades? Elaine Turner serves up a different kind of exotic with its Madison Pouchette.

Of course, Elaine Turner doesn't dabble in genuine exotics. Instead it's merely embossed the leather with a tortoise-shell finish. The scales are large and irregular, giving the purse a contemporary ...


Chocolate Brianna Shoulder Bag | Affordable Synthetic Handbag with Diamond Design

Chocolate Brianna Shoulder Bag | Affordable Synthetic Handbag with Diamond Design

This Brianna bag from Chocolate is an affordable way to embrace this season's taste for textures.

Diamond quilting has a way of making any bag seem richer. So while the Brianna is made from affordable synthetic, it doesn't look cheap. The diamonds are crafted from tiny pleats, which give the bag volume ...


Marc by Marc Jacobs Loopy Bow Pouchette | Fun And Fabulous Purple Velvet Shoulder Bag With Bows Everywhere

Marc by Marc Jacobs Loopy Bow Pouchette | Fun And Fabulous Purple Velvet Shoulder Bag With Bows Everywhere

Marc Jacobs, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. completely infamous grunge show for Perry Ellis in the 90's 2. the infinitely affordable Marc by Marc line 3. the tattoo on your arm that says "shameless". In the immortal words of Rachel Zoe, "the man is an !#@ing ...


Buxton Heiress Organizer Clutch | Wallet, Coin-Purse And Organizer All In One

Buxton Heiress Organizer Clutch | Wallet, Coin-Purse And Organizer All In One

At first glance, this Buxton Heiress organizer clutch looks like a simple wallet style clutch in a range of pretty colors. Look inside and on the back, however, and you can see just where this "organizer" clutch gets its name.

Everything about this purse aims to make you organized. Your coins are held ...


Jessica Simpson Jimmy Satchel | Patchwork Faux Croc Handbag

Jessica Simpson Jimmy Satchel | Patchwork Faux Croc Handbag

Jessica Simpson is sometimes hit or miss with me. There aren't many of the brand's styles that I absolutely detest, but I'm not always in love with them either. This Jimmy satchel takes a turn for the better as far as my opinion goes.

Yet again, you can't expect anything even remotely close ...


Elaine Turner Nicole Handbag | Eco-Friendly Grasscloth Tote Bag with Embossed Croc Trim

Elaine Turner Nicole Handbag | Eco-Friendly Grasscloth Tote Bag with Embossed Croc Trim

Green fashionistas are spoiled for choice these days, with cotton canvas, bamboo, straw, and vegan leather giving us plenty of alternatives to animal skins. Grasscloth may not have the profile of many other eco-friendly fabrics, but that makes bags like the Nicole so attractive.

The tightly woven cloth is crafted from several ...


Chinese Laundry Olivia Shoulder Bag | Layered Synthetic Flap Purse

Chinese Laundry Olivia Shoulder Bag | Layered Synthetic Flap Purse

Chinese Laundry has brought a modern attitude to the shoulder bag with the Olivia, part of its fun new fall collection.

Betsey Johnson Little Bow Pleated Satchel | Feminine Boxy Leather Handbag

Betsey Johnson Little Bow Pleated Satchel | Feminine Boxy Leather Handbag

Lately, I've been starting to think that Betsey Johnson rivals Jessica Simpson for the most variety of styles offered from one brand. The quality isn't exactly comparable since Betsey Johnson's designer bags tend to be nicer and more expensive than the celebrity's label, but the amount of different options that they both have are similar.

It ...


Lodis Padova Primadonna Clutch | Luxurious Patent Designer Purse

Lodis Padova Primadonna Clutch | Luxurious Patent Designer Purse

Design doesn't have to mean complicated structures and innovative shapes. Sometimes, as we see with classics such as Chanel or Oscar de la Renta, the timeless shapes and quality materials can speak for themselves.

At first glance I was taken aback by the simplicity and elegant lines of this rectangular purse. With no embellishment ...

Fossil Blackburn Crossbody Bag | Stylish Pebbled Leather Practical Purse

With the Blackburn, Fossil has created a bag which puts functionality first.

That's not to say this cross body bag is ugly. The super-soft pebbled leather is quite lovely, and some unexpected color choices like eggplant purple and this royal blue really pop. The white contrast stitching also adds a little flair. ...

Bulga Zaraf Satchel | Sleek and Simple Leather Handbag with Exterior Pockets

Bulga Zaraf Satchel | Sleek and Simple Leather Handbag with Exterior Pockets

Sometimes I wonder why I don't see more Bulga handbags on celebrities considering this designer brand's range of styles and tendency to produce those ever-popular oversized satchels. It's not that this relatively young label's designs haven't been spotted on any famous shoulders. Jessica Simpson and Miley Cyrus are among their fans. ...


Melie Bianco Franny Hobo | Unique Braided Casual Synthetic Handbag

Melie Bianco Franny Hobo | Unique Braided Casual Synthetic Handbag

Melie Bianco has a special knack for creating on-trend handbags that don't cost the earth. While the label has been known to "borrow" inspiration from Jimmy Choo and Valentino, it's just as capable of coming up with must-have fashion items all its own. The Franny is this season's head-turner.

The ...


Maxx New York Ava Bag | Glossy Synthetic Croc Embossed Dome Satchel

Maxx New York Ava Bag | Glossy Synthetic Croc Embossed Dome Satchel

The Ava comes to us from Maxx New York's vintage collection which pays tribute to the stars of cinema’s golden age. Being named after Ava Gardner gives this satchel a lot to live up to, and I'm not quite sure it delivers.

I'd never imagine Ava settling for embossed PVC when she ...


Kooba Natasha Tote | Coated Canvas Handbag with Turnlock Feature

Kooba Natasha Tote | Coated Canvas Handbag with Turnlock Feature

Kooba is not a name that's as familiar to me as some fashion brands, but it's certainly nothing new to the handbag world. This company has been creating enviable designer bags for over a decade.

Though I don't think it's been at the top of many shoppers' lists for that long, the company ...

Treesje Harlow Clutch | Ruched Leather Handbag with Chain Link Detail

Now this is what I call a clutch. Though there are plenty of other pretty options or functional versions of the handbag style, this Treesje Harlow is the total package to me.

Linea Pelle Alyssa Tote | Italian Lambskin Leather Designer Bag

Linea Pelle Alyssa Tote | Italian Lambskin Leather Designer Bag

Chances are you didn't win the Alyssa Tote that Purse Blog gave away earlier this spring before the bag was available to purchase. Someone out there was lucky enough to walk away with the prize, but at least the rest of us can now consider buying one of our own.

I honestly ...

Furla Giselle Shopper | Chic Minimalist Red Leather Handbag

Furla Giselle Shopper | Chic Minimalist Red Leather Handbag

Furla takes minimalist design to new levels with the Giselle Shopper.

The simplistic curved design is contemporary, yet too basic to appeal to everybody. It offers a very specific look, with large silver grommets the only respite from that plain matte leather. The Giselle may be a little boring for some, but ...
