Jason Wu takes a classic approach to the genre with this doctor's bag.

This is a textbook Doctor's Bag, although I'm not sure I can imagine my local general practitioner carrying it! Its black leather isn't head-turning, but it is first class. The neutral skin is ...

Mary Frances shrinks down the familiar doctor bag and stamps her irrepressible style upon it with the Bonanza.

David King & Co. plays it safe with this traditionally designed doctor satchel.

There's nothing wrong with classic design though when it's done this well. The grained vacquetta cowhide leather is lovely, even if it's a bit boring in conservative tan and black colors. Strangely I ...

Roberto Cavalli is one of those designers that I don't pay that much attention to. Perhaps because his flashy Italian style just doesn't mesh well with my own, or perhaps because of the line's prohibitively high price ...

Hype brings some modern edge to the traditional doctor satchel with the Helen bag.

Despite its stuffy name, I can't imagine any real medical practitioner carrying this satchel bag. With its snake print embossing and shiny studs, it'd look more at home at a heavy metal ...

Donna Sharp toes the line with this traditional doctor bag.

If I hadn't known better, I'd have sworn this was a Vera Bradley creation. The print may not be as vibrant, but the quilted fabric body and classic looks are so reminiscent of that designer. We're used to seeing Donna Sharp breaking ...

Elaine Turner is one of those designers whose style I can never seem to pin down. Just as I think the label is best at creating casual beach accessories I spot a bag like the Lainey which makes me change my mind.

This doctor tote is all retro sophistication. The crocodile finish ...

From one vintage bag, to another. This one, unlike the bag I wrote about earlier, is just the sort of thing that I would buy for work and play!

The Tuscan tote looks like it is worth more than the utterly reasonable $69.99 Etienne Aigner is charging. The classic vintage styling, with a ...

This doctors bag from Prezzo is a basic purse with an interesting retro twist.

The actual shape of this budget bag is simple and traditional, with a single handle and strong box shape. Even the metal frame clasp resembles the purses of a bygone era, and if this came in plain black then ...

This Carlos Falchi Doctor Bag doesn't have nearly the same structured silhouette that I'm used to seeing from other bags in the same style category. However, this large version of Falchi's signature doctor bag design is luxury at its best.

Although it has a nearly identical shape to the patent leather version of ...

The traditional doctor style design is given an elegant lift here. The central woven panel is complemented by modern pleats, which meet together in a V at the base. The combination of textures could easily overwhelm on a ...

When I think of L.A.M.B. handbags, my mind automatically goes to bold colors and structured shapes. It's not that Gwen Stefani's line of bags is limited to that. I just tend to think of it first since there are so many in the collection resembling that description.

Similar to the Morant and ...

Tooled leather is a massive trend this summer. For vintage aficionados this is a blessing, a chance to drag their sexy retro belts and sturdy leather handbags out of fashion hibernation. Vintage style satchels and cross body purses such as this are just begging to be used and loved.

For many women, Chloe is the go-to designer for the latest in "It" bags that break the mold when it comes to quality and design. You could say that about the Silverado Doctor Bag, but the truth is that it isn't just a passing "It" bag; its classic design has dominated the ...

Inject a little style into your wardrobe with this cute Round n Round doctor satchel from Joe's Jeans.

The luxurious pebble leather features an oversized quilted pattern and large button details. Two structured handles look fabulous, but they will restrict you to handheld carrying. This is a little inconvenient for such a ...

The House of Roger Vivier transforms their trademark pilgrim buckle on this sophisticated and luxurious doctor's bag. And instead of becoming an overblown logo, it becomes a simple rectangular frame on the sides of the bag.

The Roger Vivier Doctor Frame Bag is both trendy and timeless. The deep purple shade ...
