The Aldo Greveinchianti may not be high-end fashion, but it's still a real showstopper.

This frothy concoction features a host of frilly ruffles embellished with tiny perforated holes. Yes it's over the top, but that's the whole point. That's why I prefer the purse is this lusty red shade rather than the ...

Coloriffics has a certain knack for creating timeless evening purses for less. This vintage-inspired satin clutch is just another example of the stylish looks we've come to expect from the brand.

Crafted from white satin, this classic purse is jazzed up with a scrolling splash of floral embroidery and a dash of ...

Ahoy me hearties! The time has come to walk the plank! Shiver me timbers!

*Ahem* Apologies everyone, but there is something strangely entertaining about this simple pirate bag, and I simply couldn't help myself!

The funky skull and crossbones transfer brings a hint of individuality to a simple canvas shopper. The symbol never goes ...

With its cute moniker and even cuter looks, the Tic Tac Tote could only be a Vera Bradley bag.

The name comes from the subtle cross-hatch design with sits over Vera Bradley's signature vibrant prints. This pattern takes us back to childhood with its Tic Tac Toe board appearance. It's playful, but ...

For once, cute surf-wear designer Roxy has produced a hobo that is more about simplicity than canvas.

Coach head back to its basic but luxurious roots with this traditional heritage tote.

Whilst Coach is known mainly for its patchwork purses, but I think its signature patterned satchel totes are actually some of the label's classiest creations. The brand isn't pushing the boundaries of fashion, but it is creating modern formal ...

Girls who bemoan leaving their latest copy of Vogue at home will be thrilled with the Barrymore Magazine tote. It's tailor-made for carrying the hottest glossies!

The name should tip you off that this tote comes from Maxx New York's vintage Hollywood collection. That makes it a little more luxurious than many ...

With its bright orange finish and massive size, it's impossible to ignore a bag like Kooba's Blake.

It's crafted from patent leather, but the surface isn't as glossy as many on the market. It’s a good thing too, because a color this bright doesn't need to look more daring! To that end, ...

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.

Kathy Van Zeeland knows her market, and she gives them what they want. The shiny synthetic looks a little ...

Forzieri has produced a cool little handbag with this monochromatic Capaf wicker purse.

The shape, first off, is exciting. Square and chunky, this purse is reminiscent of vintage styling and 60s fashion, all interspersed with memories of picnic baskets and childhood days out. If the nostalgia hasn't sold it to you already, Forzieri brings it ...

Gucci is a label associated with classic style and sophistication ... but there's little of that here. The bohemian styling of the Irina may perplex die-heart Gucci-ites, but it's found new fans amongst free-spirited stylistas.

The basic white leather body is jazzed up with gleaming gold accents. The centerpiece is the flowery ...

A traditional shoulder bag shape is dressed up with a ruffled appliqué ...

Though not traditionally seen as a winter fashion color, white has slowly made its way into the range of cool weather accessories.

The helmet-shaped clutch is covered in tiny Swarovski crystals. The white, blue, and black gems cleverly recreate the Panthers insignia on each side of the helmet. The luxurious look is completed with a splash of golden hardware.

I was on the fence about putting my seal of approval on B. Makowsky's haircalf and leather combo Canterbury Tote, which puts this Stuart Weitzman ZipCalico handbag in a shaky place as far as my recommendation goes.

One thing is for sure about the ZipCalico. You can't accuse it of being inauthentic. If the Canterbury's animal print ...

According to Kenneth Jay Lane, kitsch never went out of style. Many would disagree with the design house, but if you don't the Ali may be the shoulder bag you're searching for.

The $290 price tag doesn't buy you authentic crocodile, but it does buy genuine leather. Kenneth Jay Lane gives the ...

This spacious purse from Giuseppe Zanotti is one of "those" bags. You know: the clutches that hit every single trend on the head, all within one little purse. For this expensive designer evening bag, those trends are animal print, chain handles and tassels, all in one!

On their own, each of the trends ...

Jessica Jensen takes the hobo back to basics with its Artisan bag.

The style is simple and chic, without all the accents we tend to see. Forget fringing and studs: this is minimalism at its most pure. That might not suit the season's taste for embellishments, but the Artisan isn't about catering ...

Marni has a knack for figuring out what modern women want without resorting to overused trends and clichés. This Geometric Clutch is the perfect example of their refined design sensibility in action.

I love the crisp white and black color scheme of the clutch. The black edging really reinforces the lines of the ...

This dopp kit is something a little different from Tepper Jackson. The bold patterns and vibrant colors we're used to are gone, replaced with elegant matte shades.

While it appears like leather at first glance, looks can be deceiving. This dopp kit is actually crafted from laminated canvas. It may not be ...

Crocheted handbags usually remind me of my grandmother, but Stuart Weitzman shows it is possible to inject youthful energy into the style. Meet the Knit Wit satchel.

While it may look like yarn from a distance the Knit Wit actually features luxurious nappa leather, crocheted to resemble modern blooms. The floral finish ...

As more and more consumers choose not to buy leather, it's becoming more and more a fashionable and eco-conscious choice to purchase synthetic leather bags. But there's still not a lot of them out there from brands you would typically go to for leather or "fashionable" accessories.

Nine West may not be the ...

Few things make a statement like a white, bright, handbag. Jessica Jensen brings a little something different to the mix with the Pure Tote.

The lush white leather is adorned with round white studs. What I like about this is that it's on-trend, but just a little left of center. We're used ...

They might be sister lines, but Harajuku Lovers bags are a world away from the chic offerings from L.A.M.B. Instead, the label embraces Gwen Stefani’s playful side with fun purses like this Dreamy Music tote.

Just in time for the cooler weather ahead, this tote features an adorable wintery scene. A ...

Everyone needs a good weekend bag. Even if you don't travel on a regular basis, it's still important to have at least one mid-sized duffle with space to fit everything you need for a few days away from home.

One of the great things about this Tommy Hilfiger Explorer duffle bag is ...

Floral handbags often suit only girly girls or springtime wardrobes. But now Chinese Laundry has created a floral tote that modern stylistas will want to carry all year round.

The secret is the contemporary print. Rather than colorful blooms, this tote features a simple black floral pattern against a white background. The ...

Well, I can't really beat around the bush on this one, so I'll just come right out with my first impression of the Canterbury Haircalf Tote. Basically, it combines two of my least favorite fashion details: animal print and furry texture. The two aren't exclusively abhorrent to me, but I tend ...

Springtime may be long gone, but you can hang onto a little sunshine all year round with this Magid Florals tote.

The vibrantly colored blooms contrast with the white fabric, giving this tote a cheerful lift. It's not the most contemporary design I've seen. In fact, I think my grandmother would love ...

I'm not sure why I've been in the mood to browse through briefcases lately, but I keep running across some great versions of this stereotypical work bag style. Matt & Nat's take on the handbag is quite the opposite of the Hobo International Barbara that I recently found but much more ...

Everyone knows that the stranger and more eco-friendly the handbag material, the more popular the handbag. We have seen licence plate bags, hosepipe purses and even handbags made from old seatbelts, and all in the name of green credentials and recyclable fashion.

Now little known designer Elaine Turner has jumped on ...

Italian bellas can effortlessly add a little patriotic style to their ensembles with this cute Italian Flag bag from Fontanelli.

From a distance is seems like stripes of red, white, and green calfskin make up this Italian-inspired purse. But that's not the half of it. Each strip of color is actually a ...

Animal print isn't completely unexpected from Dooney & Bourke, but it does tend to catch me off guard a bit when I see it. I'm rather used to seeing the brand's signature logo. However, when D&B does handbags in leopard or another exotic print, they do it well.

This particular Juliette handbag is ...

Lucky Brand's slouch hobo combines the casual profile we expect from these bags with a new sophisticated attitude.

Slouchy relaxed leather is a hobo trademark, and this purse delivers on that score. But by keeping the design simple, this Lucky Brand bag is more sophisticated than most of its hippie-chic peers. There ...

Liz Claiborne epitomizes cheap and cheerful fashion with the Ripley tote.

It doesn't get much cheerier than the feminine coral pink finish, or much cheaper than PVC. High-end fashionistas may scoff at this fabric, but it only costs $34. If that's all you've got to spare, or you simply want a little ...

If you don't take your fashions too seriously, you'll love the novelty look of this Finger Hole clutch from Latico.

The most noticeable feature, and the greatest selling point, is the five holes that give the clutch its name. They’re styled to make hand-held carrying a little simpler, but they're not entirely ...

There's nothing like plaid to kick off the fall season. The Scottish patterned fabric can never be a spring or summer print, in my opinion; but it's absolutely wonderful for the cooler seasons.

With the first day of fall only weeks away now, it's definitely time to start thinking about upcoming wardrobe additions. ...

This isn't the first Julianne to hit the pages of BagBunch, but it's definitely my favorite. While the Madison leather version of the style is probably the more classic option of the two, the Coach's Op Art fabric option is just too pretty to resist.

I can't possibly call this sateen material practical ...

Woven leather is effortlessly chic, which may be why everyone from high-end designers Bottega Veneta to cheap and cheerful brands like Aldo have gotten in on the act. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes comes Francesco Biasia's Caroline satchel.

At first glance, I didn't realize the Caroline was woven ...

In general, Tommy Hilfiger is usually viewed as a purveyor of classic Americana style. I'd put this Biscayne Weekender somewhere in between a dash of all-American and a big dose of simple chic.

It almost looks like something you'd expect from Tignanello or even French brand Longchamp. The pretty combination of ...

With it's vintage charm and a whimsical print, you'll love pulling this Loop Bird Leather Clip Wallet out of your purse! The dainty piece could even be used as a casual clutch when you just need some cash for the bar or an errand.

Made in white leather with a gold frame and kiss-lock ...

Betsey Johnson gives us her take on the fabric tote, complete with her signature sass and spunk. It's the Calender Girl, a purse which celebrates the flirty fun of being female.

"Envelope clutch" has been a buzzword on every handbag guru's lips this spring, and the trend of simple fold-over purses doesn't look like running out of steam any time soon.

This Jessica Jensen purse takes the envelope concept and endeavors to make the idea even more literal. If you were just glancing at this minimalist ...

The name Bonnie means "pretty", which is one adjective that comes to mind when I see this Hobo International shoulder bag with the name. The brand is an excellent choice for simple, classic styles just like this one.

One aspect about the Bonnie that draws my attention is its vintage-like quality of the clasp ...

We've got our totes for running everyday errands, our briefcases for the office, and our cute little clutches for those red carpet galas. But who's got the time to change from one bag to the next? Anne Klein offers a practical solution with this simple, yet sophisticated satchel.

It's called the Legend, ...

I'm fairly certain that Joe's Jeans is not one of those top popular brands for handbag-obsessing women. However, when the label's creator expanded into the wide world of accessories a couple of years ago, he carried over the brand's stylish and sexy look.

In the same fashion spirit of contemporary jeans, this Dianna ...

Is it just me, or has fringe been popping up all over the place lately? It's not exactly a cutting edge fashion trend, but it is certainly one with impressive staying power.

Some handbags are just too casual to ever be really versatile in a wardrobe. However, these laid-back totes are sometimes the most fun when compared to many practical options.

This Roxy Freely Hobo is a perfect example of those quirky, casual bags that you'll probably only wear when you've got flip-flops or sandals ...

Yesterday I wrote about the Crystal Wallpaper clutch from Inge Christopher. This beaded beauty was "sugar and spice and all things nice." Yes, it's very pretty, but sometimes we feel like walking on the wild side. That's when a sexy little purse like the Emily steps up.

A hard structured case ...

Its limited edition status and designer label make this VBH Pony Purse quite covetable, but why then does the design fall flat?

But first, the good points. The pony hair is delicious, with the white tone ideal for setting off a cute summer ensemble. The off-white alligator handle is a particularly luxurious ...
