Bottega Veneta is a brand which tends to take fashion seriously. But here with this ladybug shaped coin purse, the Italian label shows it has a lighter side.

The brand's signature intrecciato woven leather is passed over in favor of soft brown deerskin. It may not be instantly recognizable, but this hide is ultra luxurious. The ladybug's spots are stamped into the leather, while careful cutting and complementary stitching creates its wings. The frame closure and engraved metal clasp add a classic vintage touch to this fun design.

It's called a coin purse, so don't expect this ladybug to hold much more than loose change and a couple of essential cards. The suede lined interior adds a little class to the fairly basic interior.

It might seem like a novelty at first, but by keeping the colors neutral Bottega Veneta has created a quirky purse with some serious staying power.

Stella McCartney has gotten in touch with its inner child for the 2009 fall advertising campaign. French beauty Sigrid Agren finds herself in a Worcestshire forest surrounded by the characters from Bambi, and a real life fawn!

The animated woodland creatures from the beloved children's flick add a touch of whimsy and innocence to the campaign, but they also underpin a more serious message. They remind us of the reality of fur and leather exploitation, the darker forces of the fashion industry that Stella McCartney rejects. Thumper looks so cute here; can you imagine him turning up as a purse? And Bambi himself could so easily become a Prada Cervo Antik Bowler Bag!

Ryan McGinley realizes Stella McCartney's vision here, delivering a powerful and important message about animal rights in such a beautiful way. After all, as any Disney fan knows, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!

The name Prada usually renders mental images of high-end designs, fashionable runways, and maybe even Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. For me, however, Prada always equals well-made, chic handbags.

That's exactly how I'd describe this Prada Cervo Antik Bowler bag. Because of the brand name, you know undoubtedly that you'll be getting excellent quality. After all, you'll be paying for it with the handbag's $1,500 retail price.

Anyone shopping for Prada would expect that kind of price tag, however. If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket and can afford to splurge on a purchase like this one, you won't regret it. The Cervo Antik collection is definitely one that will stand the test of time when it comes to style.

Made from soft deerskin leather, this bowler bag is crafted to perfection with subtle pleating on the front and sides. This particular purple color might not be the most versatile, but the bowler comes in a few different shades to suit different tastes.

I like the simplicity of the design, which is something that I've come to expect from the brand. One of their other, more structured bowler bags, the Vitello Daino Bowler, is even more simple in looks than the Cervo Antik. They are equally stylish, but I do prefer the more relaxed look of this one. The worn-in looking leather is casual without being rustic.

I don't really have any complaints about the Cervo Antik Bowler except that I might love it even more if it had a longer, detachable shoulder strap. It's not really an issue, however, since the double rolled handles would provide plenty of carrying ease.

• Removable luggage tag
• Silver-toned logo plate

The Elie Tahari Chiara bag offers retro chic styling without looking like something your grandma would carry.

The solid frame gives this purse a structured shape reminiscent of a doctor’s bag. It could all too easily appear masculine, but the smooth deerskin leather helps to soften the look. It’s available in classic black and tan, and a sexy patent variety for a little extra shine. The kiss-lock clasp and tortoise shell pocket detail are throwbacks to the past, but they add interest rather than appearing old-fashioned.

But the Chiara isn’t simply a historic relic. The practical size and storage facilities were made with the modern woman in mind. The zippered center divider and cute front pocket allow you to make the most of the space on offer.

With an $895 retail value the Chiara isn’t likely to be an impulse purchase, but it’s still competitively priced for a bag of such quality and style.

I can now finally recommend a Dior handbag. I am so excited because it's been such a long time since I genuinely believed Dior was rising up to its iconic legacy.

The Dior Bee Tote (see the cute little "bee" charm pictured right) is crafted from shiny deerskin leather and features dual buckled top handles, exterior 'cannage' top-stitching and front buckled pocket.

The gold-tone hardware is a perfect compliment to red color of this medium-sized (12.5 x 16.5 x 8.5) tote, and I'm particularly impressed with the fact they took the time to give the Bee Tote a zippered closure instead of opting for the more in vogue open top.

This is a real beauty in person. The photos simply do not do it justice. A larger version is available in a very chic taupe color that I highly recommend as well.

These luxurious Prada Fairies Bags been spotted on the arms of fashion pioneers like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sienna Miller, and Tilda Swinton. But you don't need to live in Hollywood to enjoy the magic of these pretty purses.

The Fairies series was created in collaboration with artist James Jean, and the results are stunning. The delicate figures remind me a little of Japanese anime. They’re so feminine, yet strong.

The fairy design is painted on Prada's soft supple deerskin leather. Most of these bags have an ivory or white background, but if you're lucky you may snare one of these rare pale powder blue or pink varieties. The interior is spacious, with a slip pocket and zippered compartment to help you stay organized. The zip top closure keeps everything safely inside, while the gold combination lock offers added security.

Carrying a Prada Fairies Bag is truly like carrying a work of art. But you'll need to act quick to own one. These Prada bags were produced in limited quantities, so online shopping is your best chance of finding one of these sumptuous bags.
