I rarely warm to Ed Hardy's tattoo graphic covered accessories, but I have to tip my hat to the designer for creating this unusual Helen tote.

With so many totes looking like cardboard cutouts, it's refreshing to find one with a style all its own. It ...

During her years working in ...

Yves Saint Laurent is one of those perennially chic lines that always seems on target. Sure, it's had its off years, but for the most part, YSL is one of those design houses that can stand the test of time. This new leather version ...

The Marc by Marc Jacobs line defines hip feminine fashion. It's my favorite diffusion line, and one of the few that is making current trends instead of just piggybacking off of higher priced designs. This Snappy bowler is a super cool and very affordable accessory.

The ...

Holy Christian Louboutin! This is one of the most strikingly beautiful bags I've seen all year, and it's no surprise that it's by Louboutin, one of the most reliably sophisticated lines out there.

The purple suede on the Loubi Croissant is a surprising and delightful choice. The color ...

With so many bags shrinking these days it's refreshing to see one bucking the trend. Samsonite invites us to carry the kitchen sink and a few extras in its Tote-A-Ton duffle bag.

This duffel is enormous with more than 6400 cubic inches of packing space. That's roughly the ...

Puma hopes we'll be starry eyed over its Dazzle shopper tote, but this proves to be one bag that doesn't live up to its name.

When I hear a bag is called the Dazzle I expect it will, well, dazzle me. But really this is a fairly lackluster ...

Nine West serves up some serious attitude with the Rockin Out satchel.

From a distance this seems like a very traditional Chanel-esque purse, with its front flap and gleaming golden fold-down clasp. But get closer and you'll see this Patchwork purse isn't quite as buttoned ...

Lately I've been falling in love with studs all over again. Designers are beginning to realize that less is more, and using the accents with the restraint they really deserve. And then there's Nicole Lee.

There's nothing restrained about the application of studs on this Nadia ...

Maxx New York dresses up its cheap and cheerful synthetic with this Bridget shoulder bag.

Francesco Biasia has gone large with this Edith tote bag.

The Edith is enormous, with almost enough space to carry everything you want, everything you think you might need, and then the kitchen sink. The pair of open pockets and zippered pouch are a bit inadequate ...

It might have a demure name, but this Eliza bag from Max Azria's BCBGeneration label is totally fierce.

Animal prints have always been a reliable way to inject some attitude into an accessory, but this one's a bit different than those we typically see. The print is created ...

Bring some feminine versatility into your life with the Berge Brezza tote.

Soft suede and slick leather are always a lovely combination in a handbag. And if the combination is assisted with cute shapes then the combo gets even better! This is exactly what happens in ...

Adidas has given its popular Diablo bag a fun, feminine makeover with this printed version.

Everything that made the Diablo such a classic Adidas bag has been retained, but the patterns should help to endear it to female gym junkies. I really like the subtlety of ...

Hilary Radley clearly wanted its Limelight bag to stand out, but sadly I think this one's grabbed the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

I suppose the synthetic belted buckle and accents were designed to dress up the Limelight's nylon body, but sadly these details end ...

I think the potential for greatness was there, but it's too complicated to really impress me. I really like the volume that the ...

Laurel & Sunset celebrates flamboyance with this Dirossi satchel.

There's certainly nothing subtle about this baby. Its synthetic body is meant to mimic python skin, and it might have pulled it off if it wasn't that lurid shade of purple. The mottled pattern is ...

Is it a handbag or is it Cousin It's more rebellious brother? It's the Jerome hobo from Vieta!

I thought I'd seen studs arranged in every possible way over the last year, but Vieta has come up with something new here. The polished metal circles dot the synthetic ...

I've never been a fan of Ed Hardy's work. All of those skulls and tattoo-style drawings just seemed a bit tacky to me. But with this Sable wallet the label's shown me I shouldn't give up on it altogether.

The Sable is a real change of ...

Sometimes the right material can take a tote from average to outstanding. That's just what we see when we drool over the Jenna tote from Beirn.

The secret is that gorgeous watersnake skin. I love its rich jewel emerald green color and its mottled black vertical stripes. While ...

After all the negativity surrounding John Galliano's recent dismissal, it's refreshing to see some good news from the Christian Dior camp. And that came with the recent opening of the fashion house's newly renovated Hong Kong store.

The three-storey space at One ...

Ordinarily I'm about as enthusiastic about gym bags as I am about the gym itself, but Puma has managed to pique my interest with this Volcano Grip Bag.

The Volcano looks athletic, but not in that sloppy way that cotton totes and sweats do. This is ...

Imoshion tries to recapture the dramatic fashion looks of yesteryear with the Diana. But I wonder whether it's overreached here.

The competing elements cause me to hesitate here. On separate bags I'd applause the feminine finish of the lacy crochet, the effect of contrasting leatherette trim, and the ...

At its best ruching can soften a handbag and show off the quality of its leather. At its worst the accent looks a little something like this.

I'm not sure what Zac Posen did wrong here, but the result looks off to ...

Vitalio Vera might not be a name on every fashion lover's lips, but I've always admired the way the brand churns out affordable accessories that don't skimp on substance or style. The Sandra is another example of the label's commitment to affordable luxury.

Of course, for ...

Hobos are typically boho-chic, but this Sicily hobo from Susan Farber is more rock chick than flower child.

The first thing you notice is those wild ruffled sides, which give the Sicily an edgy feminine appearance. All those frills never look too girly though thanks to ...

Look out fashionistas, this shoulder bag's flap is so huge that there's no telling what it's capable of! Seriously, I've never seen a flap this big. Even if it's not plotting world domination, at the very least it could overshadow an outfit.

While the classic fashion ...

Pilar Abril combines bright snakeskin patterned synthetic leather with an unusual wooden frame, to make a purse that is stylish and different from everything else.

Rafe updates the tote bag for the 21st century with the Jordana.

Once upon a time, totes were simple, boxy creatures. The Jordana is a world away from this kind of bag, with tight pleats, a buckled belt, and eye-popping gold stitching creating volume and drama. There's so ...

Handbags go hi-tech with this Co-Lab by Christopher Kon tote.

We are used to leather-look handbags that are actually made out of something like vinyl. However, I doubt many of us have come across a purse like the Plexi, which is made out of neoprene. What is neoprene, I hear ...

City streets can be dangerous places, but you needn't worry about the dangers when you're carrying the anti-theft MetroSafe 200 shoulder bag.

The purple silk of this bag looks like it came straight out of ...

Just like the starlet that shares its name, Melie Bianco's Miley handbag is a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll.

The Miley gets its western feel from long braided tassels hanging from the side of the bag. But just like ...

Luba J looks to inject a bit of edgy style into our evening wardrobes with this Lola evening bag.

She's not quite a showgirl, but this is a purse that demands to be gazed at. Purple is always a head-turning shade, but the crackled ...

This is a very different kind of purse from Louis Vuitton. Its traditional brown ...

London Fog takes the tote back to basics with this Stacey bag.

Latico offers more than meets the eye with this Julia hobo.

There are very few bells and whistles on this purse, so it's very easy to ignore. At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it at all. Its purple color is so dark that ...

Christian Louboutin's Sweet Charity Bag was basically perfect, and frankly, I didn't think it could get much better. But this silver and purple python version takes it to a whole new level in terms of style and opulence.

There's nothing I love more than snakeskin, except maybe ...
