This clever Botkier Cooper handbag will literally take you from the board room to a casual after-hours dinner with a quick switch of handles.

During business hours, the Cooper Convertible Hobo functions as a chic but professional-looking work tote with supple leather material and classic briefcase-style short handles. It's the type of bag you can use carry around various paperwork and maybe even a small laptop when you've got meetings and presentations to attend but want to look stylish and put together.

After work hours are over, however, simply unhook the side flaps and attach the single, buckled-detail strap to convert the Cooper to classic, roomy hobo. The look is much more casual, though certainly not as informal as many other hobo bags.

Honestly, even when switched to a hobo, I think the Cooper is still probably office-appropriate for many work environments, but the tote option definitely has more of a professional vibe. I wish that the Cooper's strap could have been longer and adjustable to allow for cross-body carrying since it is rather large and could be kind of bulky on petite arms, but the single shoulder strap does make for an attractive handbag style.

This Liz Claiborne wristlet brings posh and sophisticated class to an unusual shape.

Crocodile print, with its spacious pattern, is generally saved for bigger purses and vintage bags. To see it being used surprisingly effectively for a little clutch is a great change.

The styling of this wristlet is very vintage. Whilst wrist straps weren't common back then, everything else is so retro: the big gold buckle, the glossy patent leather. It is both evening wear and smart office wear, and brilliantly versatile.

I have to say that personally I am not convinced by the alternate bag color, branded "matte gold". Rather than being glamorous and mature, this color actually looks more murky dull brown. Not nice! In black it looks great though!

Whilst the looks of this bag are expensive, the materials aren't. And understandably so; you are only paying $40 for this, after all. With this in mind, however, and especially considering the thinness of the handle, I wouldn't hold out for this vintage clutch to last for many seasons. It is even less likely to last with all the wear it may just get!

Bulgari's Dalia bag has been spotted on the arms of Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, and Frieda Pinto. But it's not hard to see why. The relaxed hobo-like slouch of buttery soft leather combines with the simple, sophisticated design makes this Bulgari purse the ideal day-to-night accessory.

This is one bag that gives us options, although none of them are exactly cheap. This ebony calf leather Dalia is one of the most affordable at $2100. If your budget can stretch further you may consider the Dalia in buffalo leather or even python. Our alternatives aren't limited to fabrics either, with Bulgari releasing many different colors of this celebrity favorite.

I love the Dalia's sexy curves and soft, sensual pleats. The hardware is kept to a minimum; small buckles on the side and the logo embossed double ring in the center give a flash of metallic gleam while keeping the bag's classic looks intact.

This is an enormous bag, make no mistake, but as it doesn't dwarf the frame of its celebrity fans us mere mortals should be able to handle it. I'd have appreciated more than a the tiny zippered pocket and cell phone slip to keep such a large space organized, but I think carrying such a delicious piece of arm candy would be worth the extra effort!

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 this croc-embossed Brasilia satchel from B. Makowsky that set it apart from some other embossed bag candidates. First, the leather is real and soft, which is a signature of the label but not always the case with other brands. Second, the crocodile texture is somewhat subtle and spread out instead of compact and busy like some embossing.

These two factors, when combined with the Brasilia's other attractive qualities, make for a very decent handbag style. I wouldn't call it a simple design due to the other design features, such as the top corner panels, buckled details, and half-moon front zippered pocket. However, the details together somehow don't overwhelm the style but rather come together in a very appealing way.

The Brasilia is available in this E/W satchel shape as well as a smaller satchel and N/S shopper. This light "vachetta" brown is a nice, neutral choice as are the dark brown and black options, but the deep blue "pacific" color is both pretty and unexpected. This B. Makowsky satchel retails for $278.

The Chinese Laundry Addison Tote is a little confusing at first glance. The shape is both structured, yet gathered and slouchy at the same time. There's quite a bit going on with this handbag, but the blend of details is unique and interesting.

The Addison's relatively square silhouette, though a common feature of a tote, is given some depth with gathers and folds that culminate to a decorative buckled feature on one side of the front of the handbag. It has the appearance of being somewhat random and a little all over the place, but the gathered detail is given a purpose and placement with the addition of the buckle.

The back of the tote bag does not feature the same technique but does have a slightly loose look due to the gathered material around the handle rings. It complements the look of the front but offers a little relief from the detail, which could otherwise make the bag seem a tad overworked.

This Chinese Laundry design is available in a handful of neutral colors including brown, gray, and black. It might not be real leather, but the use of synthetic material prices it at an affordable $84.

I am always on the lookout for a brilliant little piece of handbag art, and this synthetic leather and straw clutch is one of my favorite recent finds.

A cute straw basket bag always goes down well in vintage and retro inspired circles. The effect is especially strong when you have a piece like this, which adds flare and a fashion twist with the addition of a snakeskin faux leather buckle and trim.

Although the looks are downright stunning and so individual, there are a few limitations that can't be avoided. Firstly, looks aren't everything, and although the bag costs $63 you don't get any decent materials. The leather is thin and fake, and the straw wicker won't last beyond a few seasons. If you are seeking a unique handbag that will last you for life, this Straw Studios purse probably won't cut the mustard.

If your expectations are slightly lower, however, then this funky clutch with its paisley lining will do you fine, whether for wearing in the sun next summer or for dressing up a vintage evening outfit.

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 happy.

This Hype Jackie satchel is one such option. If you are only heading away for a day or two, this is spacious enough to store your vital items, as well as being neatly compartmentalized to let you sort everything and find things easily. It isn't big enough to carry belongings for a longer time period, but as a carry-on bag it is great.

Particularly worth mentioning regarding the slight over-chunky looks of this hold-all is the interior. In a bright bold contrasting fabric, this is a lovely touch that turns the functional into the fun. The over-sized buckles and fastenings are attractive too, as well as adding much needed functionality and security in addition to the zip.

All in all this is a spacious and handy bag with average yet unoffensive looks.

I'll admit that I sometimes get a little mixed up about all of the different lines underneath luxury label Moschino. Not only is there the main brand but also Moschino Cheap & Chic and Love Moschino.

Sometimes it can get a little confusing, but one thing I know for sure. I might love the chic styles of the secondary lines, though I would never categorize them cheap; but it's the main line of just plain Moschino that puts out the most luxurious, expensive, and often most classic styles of the three lines. This Moschino Beluga Shoulder Bag is a perfect example.

The quality of the Beluga is top-notch, and I'd expect nothing less from a purse that costs nearly $1,700. It's the kind of handbag that you don't toss in the back of the closet or replace anytime soon when you factor in the price and the versatility of the style.

The somewhat casual style of the shoulder bag makes it great for regular use. Pretty ruching around the top emphasizes the lightly pebbled leather texture and adds a bit of slouch to the shape. A few buckled details on the handle and leather strips down the front give this brown leather purse a hint of equestrian style, though the look is very subtle.

The Beluga is simple but lovely with designer touches, a great everyday shape, and practical touches including a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap. If you can afford the price tag, this one just might be worth the investment.

Every girl needs a little dose of bling in her life, and if you like gold metallic purses then this little leather wristlet may be just your cup of tea.

Subtle is probably not the buzzword for this golden clutch. The metallic decorative print stands out dramatically against the gray background, and even though it is small, it will still catch attention on a night out. Aesthetically, I personally prefer the black and gold version, but the gray and gold is a much more unusual shade combination.

Inside the color theme is continued with a functional cotton lining embellished even more with gold decoration. I worry that the complete article may border on tacky, as the large amount of studs, paint and buckles make it seem over decorated rather than intelligently planned.

That said, the back of this Ed Hardy wristlet is a simple solid gray, giving the option for versatility if you clutch it in reverse.

Jessica Simpson is not, by any means, the only one that's churning out the faux exotic skin purses, but the brand definitely has quite a few styles in this very of-the-moment trend. Animal activists and budget shoppers can celebrate together about the plethora of fake crocodile and snakeskin flushing the market right now.

This Sasha Satchel from Jessica Simpson's handbag line is a prime example of the affordable feature working on several different levels. Not only does the price sit well for most, ringing in at just barely over $100, but the simplicity of the design will appeal to many women who prefer the classic style of famous croc-users such as Hermes.

For the most part, the Sasha is tastefully devoid of superfluous details that would compete with the handbag's visually interesting texture. Except for a few pieces of hardware and a little buckled detail on the handles, this purse is mostly about the material.

You might be wondering about the miniature pouch hanging down from one of the Sasha's handles. However, this bonus feature is removable allowing you to use it for extra storage inside the bag or separately.
