My inner girly girl squealed at the sight of Versace's Peyton satchel in hibiscus pink. It will only suit those truly in touch with their feminine side, but this structured shoulder bag has won a fan in me.

Such a bright shade of pink could easily look overwhelming, but it works here. ...

VBH is one of the hottest names in fashion at the moment, but the brand is still a little hit and miss for me. Thankfully in the Tootsie, I think the label may have a hit on its hands.

It's not that the design is revolutionary; I've seen plenty of structured satchels ...

I am in love with yellow at the moment: vintage mustard shades, spring daffodil tones, and bright neon tints. To find a lovely yellow in a bag as individual and unusual as this is just brilliant!

The shape of this leather satchel is quite unusual; twice the height that you would expect from ...

I have found it! The perfect handbag for the Spring 2010 catwalk trends. What are those trends, I hear you ask? Well, gentle neutrals, feminine peaches, pinks and blushes, and a certain propensity for ruffles and delicacy. Essentially, this spring's trends match this designer handbag to a T!

OK, so leather is more autumn/winter ...

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, everyone is thinking about romance. While some bags take it to extreme, Stone Mountain opts for subtlety with the Love Street Dome Satchel.

The red leather finish is romantic, and surprisingly affordable at just $76 retail (and even less right now at Amazon on sale!). ...

This formal bowler from respected handbag brand Latico has an almost satchel like style, making it much more versatile than many oversized bowlers.

Whilst at first glance this looks to be in one neutral shade of brown, a quick second look lets you see the lizard patterned leather panel mounting the front, and ...

Jessica Simpson is right on trend for spring with this delicate floral satchel.

This season's catwalks have been all about floaty fabrics, gentle florals, and clever yet delicate textures. These trends are switching straight over to the High Street, probably because they are so easy to interpret and transform into something normal and ...

The details on this Botkier bag are subtle and not nearly as flashy as some styles available today. Devoid of fringe and studs that even many other Botkier handbags have, the Angie satchel is understated but not too simple in design and definitely not boring.

I wouldn't call the Angie particularly exciting, but it ...

When I think of The SAK, my mind almost always goes toward crochet and traditional hippie style, which is why it always throws me off just a little to see a leather satchel like this one from the brand. It's certainly not the only leather handbag they offer, but the Solana Duffel ...

It's got a very regal moniker, but I can't imagine the stylish Egyptian queen carrying her Necessary Objects namesake!

This dome satchel is far too casual for royalty, and the materials frankly inferior. A purse fit for Cleopatra would surely use real crocodiles from the Nile rather than this glossy embossed synthetic. ...

At first glance, this Bulga Vittel satchel is everything I'd expect from the designer label. Its supple, high quality leather and lack of excessive hardware or extra details are very indicative of the brand's signature style.

On the other hand, there are a few features about the bag that confuse me a little. ...

Nancy Gonzalez pairs her signature crocodile with python here to dazzling effect.

The tan colored python is more sophisticated than many snake prints I've seen of late. It makes a real statement amongst the on-trend vibrant purples and pinks, one which says "I am a woman who favors timeless elegance over fads." ...

Nahui Ollin delivers a fun everyday bag, without compromising its signature candy wrapper look, with the Around Town satchel.

Of course, Nahui Ollin likes to tell us every bag from its collection will suit everyday use. However, this one does a little more to convince me than most. The leather patches in ...

More often than not, Roxy's handbags are bright and colorful with details that are meant to evoke a casual, carefree vibe that fits its surf-loving style. I can't really say that this Solstice Satchel fits in with that look, although both the design and price are enough to catch my eye.

The price, ...

Frye might be a company more well-known for its legendary boots worn by soldiers in past wars, but I'm definitely a fan of its equally impressive line of handbags. The label might not have a historic reputation; however, the classic designs and attention to detail are superb.

As with this Clover Tab satchel, the ...

Diesel continues to uphold its casual, slightly edgy reputation with this Date Satchel. Although the handbag is from the fall/winter collection, it somehow seems to fit better in the upcoming spring or summer seasons.

Perhaps its the ultra casual coated cotton material that makes me think of wearing jeans and t-shirts accessorized with ...

I've come across some unique handbags in my days, but this one might win the prize for a classic look paired with an odd design concept. Instead of obviously appealing to the whimsical or quirky fashion sense, I can't decide if this Melie Bianco satchel and clutch combo is taking itself seriously or not.

However, I'm ...

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 ...

I almost might have guessed that this was a Treesje handbag if I hadn't seen the B. Makowsky label first. Although Treesje's style tends to be a tad edgier than B. Makowsky's, the details on this Atlantis shopper do remind me a little of the label's signature look.

The main feature that gives ...

As prominent logos are falling out of favor, a bag like the Louis Vuitton L'Ingenieux becomes an appealing proposition.

With its plain brown surface and fairly traditional shape, this is an easy bag to pass over. In fact, no matter what its name suggests there's very little ingenuity applied here. But when ...

Loop NYC abandons the cartoon characters and pop culture looks it typically favors for this fun floral satchel.

From the Baliwood collection, this satchel is difficult to ignore. It's covered in cheery flowers rendered in vibrant tones like red, blue, and purple. The blooms are overlaid with even more flowers cut out ...

The B. Makowsky Classics line is somewhat of a departure from the label's often urban contemporary look, but I'm a fan of the totally traditional and versatile look that it offers with bags like the Classics Rockefeller.

Similar to the Astor Hobo from the same collection, the Rockefeller is all about sophistication and elegance. It's not edgy or ...

Proud American label Laura Matthews Designs gets all patriotic with the White Eagle satchel.

The white leather carryall is adorned with a proud pewter eagle. The majestic bird, with its wings outstretched, is given a little extra shine with nickel plating. It's quite kitsch, but that's half the fun. Red and blue ...

At first glance, this Melie Bianco Pyramid satchel immediately reminded me of the Steve Madden Tribeca bag. Although the two satchels have individual styles and slightly different designs, the pair has some definite similarities.

The first and most obvious comparison to make between the two handbags is the studded detail across the ...

Kotur has quickly established a reputation as an affordable luxury label with its exotic clutches all priced under the magic $1000 mark. While there's a time and place for frugality, sometimes it's fun to forget about penny pinching. If you agree, let me introduce you to the Wallace.

This large Kotur bag ...

Big Buddha takes a cue from Cole Haan and Bottega Veneta's signature woven looks, though on a more affordable scale, with this Taylor shoulder bag.

The Taylor might include that classic style, but there's a slightly different twist to this satchel. Instead of covering the bag with the feature, Big Buddha limited it to ...

The Rumor satchel from Jessica Simpson is the ultimate illusionist. It's masquerading as a woven satchel, but it's actually just a textured synthetic.

The effect is quite striking from a distance though, and perhaps just as fascinating up close when you realize how cleverly it's done! No doubt taking the cheat's way ...

Kate Spade keeps things a little more demure than normal with this nautical striped demi-bag.

Although the style is still undeniable vintage, this bag is perfect for sailor-inspired outfits and subtle combinations, rather than for bright in-your-face pops of color. The unusual combination of navy, white and tan, however, does help to set ...

Ed Hardy's designs aren't for anyone who dislikes standing out in a crowd. I'll admit that the label, with its showy prints, doesn't generally appeal to my personal taste. However, this Malika satchel in ivory is less ostentatious than some of the label's other bags and just might interest both Ed Hardy fans and those who ...

The Latico Vyntage range goes even more retro than normal with this formal satchel tote.

To begin the vintage look of this tote, we have the smart black leather exterior. The leather is of a beautiful quality, yet also manages to look slightly aged, like a vintage briefcase. Then there is the shape; ...

Givenchy has been known to push fashion boundaries, but it shows remarkable restraint in creating the Eclipse satchel.

The classic good looks start with the lovely black leather finish. It has a slight sheen to the pebbled surface, but it's not as glossy as a true patent might be. It's just enough ...

There's something about the way that this Steve Madden Tribeca Satchel features studs along the bottom half that reminds me ever so slightly of the popular Alexander Wang Coco Duffel. I'm not sure if Steve Madden drew inspiration from the designer tote, but this affordable synthetic handbag has a few of ...

This Ghibli satchel combines contemporary details with classic styling for a fantastic everyday look.

The buttery calf leather slouches in all the right places, but it's not completely soft hearted. The reptile patterned handles have tiny silver studs for an extra dose of edge. The same exotic pattern is repeated along the ...

Fossil combines style and practicality in this Castille ring satchel.

The ring handle which gives the purse its name cinches in the leather. It creates the sort of pleated slouch that drawstrings give, but the ring looks much more stylish than any casual tie would. Not that this is a super formal ...

This is a gorgeous traditional bag from respected luxury designer Badgley Mischka.

Good quality patent leather always looks good, and the effect is emphasized here by the contrasting white trim. That white trim works to create that graphic sixties style pattern, with a stylized oversized button clasp and a funky art deco shape. Lookswise, this ...

This is the perfect lighthearted satchel for girls who don't want to shell out lots on a bag to have fun with.

At only $21, this isn't made out of the best materials on the market. But if you need a purse that will hold your belongings whilst keeping you gently entertained, a ...

If Big Buddha was attempting to go simplistic with this Hillary Satchel, I'd say that they hit the mark. Although there are some nice qualities to the handbag's design, the overall look is understated and sort of classic.

That doesn't mean that the details on the Hillary are small and go completely unnoticed, ...

It might scream far too loudly for many bagistas, but there's definitely no ignoring the Queena satchel from Ed Hardy.

Ed Hardy is a label that doesn't believe in subtlety. While most high-end designers prefer to choose just one accent, on the Queena we see logo-quilted cotton canvas, edgy skull graphics, patent-like ...

Kate Spade keeps with her current 60s inspired design palette with this classic combination of red, white and black.

Part sixties mod girl and part Parisian fashionista, this purse is undeniably sophisticated. The fun geometric print and bright contrasting trim all combine to create something very fashion savvy that wouldn't look out of ...

Once again, Jessica Simpson proves that a stylish handbag doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. With clever texture and pretty details, this Metropolitan satchel might not be designer quality but is a great choice for picky shoppers on a budget.

Synthetic leather can often be a negative on a bag ...

Etienne Aigner always manages to produce elegant and timeless designs despite the fact that the costs hover around the reasonable $100 mark.

This satchel isn't at all cutting edge. Instead, the purse looks back towards a more traditional time, with stylish art deco buckles and classic leather lines. From the cut to the ...

Betsey Johnson loves her girly bags, and has been accused of going a little bit over-the-top in the past. This satchel definitely pushes the boundaries; do you love it or hate it?

The basic premise of this crocodile print purse is actually quite delicate. The blue lines against the glossy black PVC are ...

I am impressed by how top-end designer this ruffled satchel from Steven Madden actually looks.

I think it is the design that makes this reasonably affordable handbag look quite so posh. The ruffles aren't just layered like bags normally do, instead being cut from the same synthetic leather in unpredictable patterns. In an ...

Carlos Falchi has captured his signature style for less with this satchel, part of his capsule collection for department store Target.

Of course, to make this purse so affordable there are compromises made. There's not a hint of genuine python in the snakeskin collage body. The glossy finish probably gives that away, ...

Embossed leather is the way to go when you want the look of exotic material without the price tag. Whether using the technique on real leather or manmade material, brands have caught on to the popular trend, and embossed bags of crocodile, ostrich, snakeskin, and more are flooding in.

There are two things about ...

Finding a cross-body purse that can fit more than a wallet and keys can be challenging, but Botkier has stepped up to fill the fashion void with the Taylor.

This bohemian styled satchel is crafted from buttery soft Italian lambskin for that hobo-style slouch. Tiny pinched pleats create stripes from the top ...

In the tradition of Valentino's Rose handbags comes this more affordable, yet far less luxurious, Big Buddha Mia bag.

If your budget can stretch, I'd pass this one over for the Valentino alternative. While the rose is just as flirty and feminine, the stiff synthetic doesn't fall as softly as an ...

If you are heading away for the weekend, it is all too often the case that your clothes and belongings get relegated to that old carry-all that you used to use for sports when you were about 12. When space is necessary, however, there are plenty of options for keeping your fashion sense ...

With her signature feminine charm, Betsey Johnson transforms this fairly plain satchel bag into a deliciously girly accessory.

It's that combination of basic design and just a little feminine flair which ensures that, unlike some other Betsey Johnson creations, this one doesn't go too far. A handful of dark hematite studs, softly ...

As far as black leather satchels go, this one is nearly as simple as they come. I wouldn't exactly call it as dull as dishwater, as they say, but there's really not much about it that jumps out as extremely interesting.

Being a Hobo International design, you know that the Suzzette Satchel is going ...
