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 ...

It's the season for plaid, and this classic print seems to be popping up everywhere. Like the Nine West Rory Cross-Body Bag, this Roxy Living It Up hobo handbag fits right in with the checkered scarves and coats that have now emerged from peoples' closets.

Although I tend to prefer red and ...

Plaid is one of those classic prints which is rarely on-trend, yet never goes out of style. If your budget won't accommodate Burberry, you can get a similar look with the Nine West Rory.

This plaid is a lot softer than Burberry's famous tartan, thanks to the use of muted, complementary tones. ...

Roxy is known for casual, carefree styles. That's exactly what you get with this Staying Alive Cross-Body tote bag.

Although not denim, it definitely has the appearance of a wonderfully broken-in, relaxed pair of jeans. In fact, it's not even leather but rather synthetic material that gives the impression of washed leather. Roxy gave us ...

LeSportsac is not exactly a trendsetting brand, at least as far as the majority of the fashion world goes. However, this company offers nothing less than the most practical bags imaginable without inducing boredom.

This Kasey Crossbody is a testament to the brand's marriage of convenience and cuteness. The nylon material that covers the inside and outside ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Treesje Jovi Cross-Body bag is a blend of trendy and practical all wrapped up in one soft leather package. It has just the kind of design personality I'd expect from the designer label that has produced equally distinct handbags like the Geneva clutch and the Kingsley hobo.

Although in the same bag ...

I'm not sure if this Maxx New York Hepburn handbag is supposed to be channeling Audrey or Katharine. There's not really anything about it that reminds me of either beloved actress and style icon, but I happen to like this satchel either way.

Maybe I'm just in the mood for the upcoming season ...

Marni is one of those lines that combines designs and materials in unique and unexpected ways. The line, favored by fashionistas on both sides of the Atlantic, delivers classic style with a hip, youthful attitude.

Its modern take on the classic balloon bag is to die for. The slick maroon patent is the ...

I'm a sucker for Treesje handbags and tend to love nearly anything from the label. Although I'm used to seeing more of a contemporary edge to its styles, this Mason Cross-Body surprised me with its stylish ruggedness.

The washed Italian lambskin material gives the appearance of being worn-in through use. However, it manages to avoid ...

The Mademoiselle collection from Guess has the kind of easy bags you can wear on a regular basis knowing that they'll go with most casual, everyday outfits.

I wouldn't carry the Mademoiselle N/S Shopper to a night at the theatre, but this handbag has plenty of other practical uses. It's significantly sized interior is ...

Versatility is the name of the game in a world where we are all still tightening our purse strings (pun intended). This spacious crossbody tote from The SAK is easily converted into a chunky clutch - two bags for the price of one!

As a tote this is a tall and spacious bag ...

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. ...

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 ...

Safari-inspired fashion has popped up in a few designer collections recently, like Louis Vuitton's safari/nautical Cruise 2010 style. For those of us who appreciate the look but can't afford designer versions, you'll be glad to hear that it's showing up in more affordable brands as well.

This Nine West Sidney bag might ...

All experienced handbag fans will know that to purchase a purse with an original and unique design, you have to spend a reasonable amount of money. After all, even if you do manage to get a bargain piece with high style levels, it will likely have broken by the time the next party ...

Like the Weekender II Duffel Bag, no one could accuse this Weekender Print Crossbody of lacking in organizational qualities. Though significantly smaller than the average-sized duffel, the crossbody still has its fair share of pockets and other practical features.

We're starting to hit the time of year where canvas material is on its way out ...

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 ...

Grab this Fossil Hanover Bag and you're out the door with everything you need for errands or a shopping trip. A great little everyday cross body tote, the bag is styled in the tradition of Kenneth Cole Reaction to make for a chic basic.

The brand known for their watches is delving ...

If you're looking for a cross-body bag that's a little more sophisticated, this B. Makowsky Damascus is a great option to consider. For a slightly funky and completely casual look, the Dandelion Flap or Jessica Simpson Woodstock will fit the bill. However, the Damascus is for gals who want a ...

The name of this handbag might be similar to the the Silverlake Flap Bag also from The SAK, but the two styles are very different in appearance.

Whereas the Silverlake is made from a subtle dark leather material, this Dandelion bag is crafted from practical nylon. The funky, retro-style print on the ...

This handbag by Jessica Simpson is practically oozing with casual, bohemian style. Though I'm sure it's not intended to inspire hippie-like behavior, it certainly puts me in a laid-back mood.

A fringed bag is nothing new to fashion, but it doesn't always give out a boho-chic vibe. Sometimes the effect is more Pomeranian ...

Cross-body handbags are always practical, if nothing else. Thankfully, though, we don't have to sacrifice fashion when choosing this convenient type of bag.

Designers are getting in on the popularity of the style and creating chic and cute versions of the cross-body. The B. Makowsky Los Angeles fits into that category with ...

Picking up where the Donna left off, Alexander Wang is channeling the 80s again with the Brenda.

The washed black leather just begs to be touched with its velvety plush finish. This softness is in stark contrast to the shiny double cross-body chain and edgy zippered pockets. In a world of ...

We often talk about bags with a rock and roll attitude. Well here's one that really lives up that description from none other than Ashley M.

We expect novelty purses in this vein from the designer. The brand specializes in accessories that won’t appeal to everyone, but will wow a select ...

The Jordan is for those girls who love to look good, but don't want to try too hard. It takes care of the style, so you can just grab and go.

The leather is embossed with a subtle snakeskin print and finished with a glossy sheen. The shiny fabric is paired with ...

Sometimes the season's fads are hard to wear. However, the ever-popular denim trend need not be one of them. Rather than wearing the cringe-worthy denim jacket and jeans combo, instead you can fling on this cute denim style bag from accessible designer Nine West. Indeed, you can even combine the "New Nudes" ...

In summertime we often like to travel light. The laptop bag gets replaced by the beach bag, and the carry-everything tote gets left behind in favor of something a little more portable, like this Joe's Jeans Allanah Bag.

A cross body bag comes in handy in so many situations, ...

LeSportsac is pretty much the epitome of function, at least for the handbag world. I don't think they even produce bags that aren't completely convenient and durable. If they do, I certainly haven't come across them.

Hence, the Jen Cross Body bag fits perfectly into the typical functional, cute, and sturdy categories that ...

Katie Holmes might have been draped in Miu Miu bags for the brand's spring/summer ad campaign, but her latest accessory of choice is the Coach Parker Hippie handbag.

This celebrity mom is known for setting trends, but I think the practicality of this tote probably had more to do with this choice. ...

Most girls love to indulge in a bubbly beverage every now and then, but with this Timmy Woods bag you can enjoy champagne every day! What's more, it doesn't come with a nasty hangover!

Eco-friendly Timmy Woods has carved this fun purse from fallen Acacia trees. Each one is lovingly handcrafted and ...

We all know that bags come in many shapes and sizes. A complete opposite to the raging oversized trend, the Hobo International Lulu Cross Body could be a sigh of relief to gals everywhere who are tired of lugging around those larger-than-average purses.

Of course, there are drawbacks to smaller handbags, the ...

This beautiful mesh bag from Giorgio Armani embraces the magical side of life.

The soft gauzy fabric is embellished with a stunning beaded and sequined dragon. The combination of intricate embroidery and dragon motif give this purse a distinctly Asian flavor, despite its European origins.

It's a thing of beauty, but not so ...

This small crossbody bag is a great hands-free solution when you need to grab a few things and head out. LeSportsac usually gets it right when it comes to practical solutions, but I always look forward to the cute, quirky patterns they add for style.

The amount of storage is definitely not ...

Although crossbody bags are all the rage right now, this Tignanello T Time version of the style is not my favorite by far. I'm never a huge fan of fabric covered in a logo print, though many designer bags like Dooney & Bourke have made it hugely popular. However, this handbag does ...

Though the recent fashion weeks are concentrating on fall clothing and accessories, this pastel purple handbag from contemporary designer B. Makowsky really puts me in the mood for spring clothing.

The patchwork leather with tone on tone stitching is a subtle way to add some interest to a satchel. It's not as ...

American company Lucky Brand must have been inspired by the Brits when naming this Abbey Road messenger bag. Though mostly known for their casual and generally feminine styles, this leather fold-over has a slight masculine vibe. In fact, I would almost classify this handbag as appropriate for both men and women.

Don't let ...

A crossbody bag is always practical, ...

B. Makowsky is making quite a name for himself in the handbag industry. In contrast to wife Kathy Van Zeeland's ultra-femme and often glitzy purses, B. Makowsky's bags tend to lean toward simple chic designs with a hint of masculine thrown in. I love the simplicity of his styles that showcase the interesting ...

With the popularity of the Asher bag, it's no wonder that Treesje is offering more oversized handbags for trend followers everywhere. The Avalon satchel is similar to the Asher with its amount of storage and attention to detail. However, the Avalon has several qualities that stand apart from Treesje's other ...

This cute cross body bag from Rampage makes a style statement without breaking the bank.

The manmade leather finish keeps the price down without compromising on quality. The glossy panels mimic patent leather so convincingly that even your closest friends will never know. And with this purse retailing for just $78, you’ll ...

The new Coach Resort Collection offers quite a mix of earth tones and bright, showy fabrics. One of the more vibrant options is the Madison Graphic Op Art Sabrina handbag. This is definitely not one of Coach's naturally-colored leather purses. The Graphic Op Art fabric, which is available on more than one ...

Few things say "refined" better than Burberry. It's one of those well-established, respected companies that found their fashion niche and stuck with it. Its classic styles last for decades in a wardrobe, which is fortunate since the products make a significant dent in a budget.

If you thought Burberry handbags only come ...

Hobo International takes the stress out of the travel with the stylish Flight Path purse.

The leather exterior is simple, yet stylish, with a timeless box shape and messenger-style flap. You won't find the Flight Path in the latest fashion colors, but the basic black and chocolate browns shades are so ...

Admit it. You've often gazed longingly at the postman, wishing you too had a bag so spacious that you could carry all the letters in the town. Well now you can! Big Buddha's Postman bag is as generous and gorgeous as those purses we coveted long ago.
