Rampage gives the classic boxy-shaped satchel a modern makeover with the Caden.

At its core this is a very traditional satchel, but its tough attitude makes it much more contemporary. I'm not usually a fan of metallic hues on large handbags, but the weathered finish on the gunmetal ...

Longchamp blows its own trumpet with this Legende Sports Satchel. I'm not sure its destined to be the legend that Longchamp hopes, but it's quite a stylish satchel.

Don't let the sports part of its moniker confuse you; this isn't the sort of satchel you want ...

Middleton was the name on everyone's lips last year, whether you were admiring the poise of older sister Kate or the curves of young Pippa. So it's quite canny for London Fog to use the famous surname for this satchel.

While its name will encourage eyeballs ...

Gwen Stefani’s taken an uncharacteristically conservative approach to fashion with this Marlene satchel.

Ordinarily L.A.M.B.'s accessories feature loud Rasta inspired color schemes, neon colors, or checkerboards, but there's none of that flamboyance here. Instead the soft tumbled leather finish is classically rendered with diamond quilting. The black color ...

Just like the Amazon goddesses that inspired it, this Fural Amazzone satchel knows how to make a big impression.

It had me at that lush metallic color. I rarely warm to metallic leathers, but this one is just subtle enough to win me over. Called Argento, it's a ...

Frye takes a traditional approach to design with the Kira Karry Satchel.

Its alliterative name might remind you of the Kardashians, but this satchel is much more sophisticated than the socialite sisters, or any accessory they've lent their name to. While the Kardashians play with synthetic ...

Emilie Sloan serves up another cute and practical accessory with this Sonja satchel.

It seems strange to ever call an orange handbag with such unusual details classic, but somehow despite the quirks Bulga makes sure this satchel is reserved. The color is unexpected, and so is the ...

It's too bright to suit everyone, but I'm tickled pink by this Eden Satchel from Botkier.

I don't expect she'll impress anyone who isn't already a fan though, as this bag doesn't stray too far from her traditional loud and proud approach. The bag's ...

Only a few hours ago I fell hard for Balmain's Abroad shoulder bag. Just like that lovely purse, the Kaira has silver chains decorating its dark leathery skin. However while they're similar on paper, this satchel sadly comes off looking like the poor cousin.

Perhaps that's inevitable ...

Allow yourself to be romanced by this Casanova satchel from Rebecca Minkoff.

The Casanova has been one of Minkoff's most popular designs for some time, and it's little wonder. It's got a classic charm, but its unusual scalloped flap and delicate turn-lock closure ensure it's more ...

This satchel really is all about the pleats. The vertical folds create texture and drama on this simply shaped satchel. Simple doesn't mean boring here though. The silhouette is ladylike ...

Is there anything more cheerful than a yellow handbag? As I'm looking at this Puma Originals Mono Satchel in the color it calls spectra yellow, I can't think of a happier alternative!

Of course such a vivid hue won't be to everyone's taste. Personally though, I ...

Just as I was bemoaning the lack of stylish knitted handbags, several have come out of the woodwork. If the cheap and cheerful approach of Pilar Abril's Sixta left you longing for something more luxurious, fix your eyes on Proenza Schouler's Book Bag.

Despite its ...

As winter approaches, woolen handbags are coming back into vogue. However all too often knitted purses seem as stylish as Christmas themed sweaters. Thankfully Pilar Abril's done it right with the Sixta satchel.

The secret is the conservative, complementary colors. The chunky cable knit body could ...

Australia's Oroton label epitomizes sophistication and style. But all it takes is one overdone element to take a beautiful bag like the Henri Satchel from gorgeous to gaudy.

Perhaps that summation is a bit harsh, but it's disappointing to see a label become tackier over time. Oroton has ...

Miquelrius gets teens ready for the new school year with this School Chic satchel.

The design, with two young friends, is classic Jordi Labanda. However I can't say I'm completely behind the slogan below it, which indicates the girls are reading the best ways to keep their boyfriends ...

Despite its feminine name, this satchel is far from girly. Its buckled strap accents and antique brass hardware give it a modern masculinity.

When done well, a nude handbag can be one of the fashion world's most versatile creations. But in the wrong hands this mellow color can make any design bland. Sadly that's what we see here with Lauren Merkin's Lizzie satchel.

The workmanship on this handbag is ...

Kenneth Cole delivers a fun take on patchwork with this Easy Piecey Satchel.

It looks almost as if Kenneth Cole took pieces of bronze metal sheeting and nailed them to this purse. I'm not ordinarily a fan of metallic leathers, but the color does ...

Kate Spade seems to have been inspired by sweet hard candy when she created this fun Seersucker Treesh satchel.

It's very simple, but I love the playfulness of the flamingo pink and cream stripes. These adorable stripes are continued on the rolled dual straps ...
