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!

The $52k Bag

This Louis Vuitton Tribute bag is made in France and is a patchwork mess of 14 Louis Vuitton bags. Louis Vuitton has definitely made a mark on the fashion industry, and many LV bags remain classics to this day. Somehow I don't imagine it to be the case with this one, despite the hype. Only 24 were made and Beyonce Knowles is one of the lucky owners of this $52,000 purse.

Undergarments Exposed

Many people like to keep their undergarments concealed under clothing, but others are proud to show them off. This bag celebrates the latter. These were in about seven years ago, no joke. They are stiff, have small entry zippers and only get so unique. Corsets are still in, but it will be up to you whether or not carrying this around town is an option.

A Bag Against Breast Cancer

Handbags made from bras are popular and are generally made and sold as a way to promote the fight against breast cancer and promote awareness. These are fairly simple to construct and make a positive statement. Although you may not carry it around on a daily basis due to the size and functionality, the cause is close to all of our hearts, so you should take the chance to fight it however you can.

Skunk Fur by Fendi

Although the skunk is not the best loved animal anywhere, we're sure PETA still doesn't appreciate this Fendi skunk fur purse. Does anyone know if skunk fur is soft though? Getting too close to one anywhere else would be a hazard. With such detail, this bag may be too much for some to handle. Decorated with the fur of a skunk, many would say this bag really stinks.

Chinese Take Out Bag

Love Chinese take out? This is the handbag for you. The design is clever and creative, to say the least. The use of materials to craft a small purse into the likeness of a take-out box speaks for itself. Just be sure to keep things straight; you wouldn't want anyone to dump noodles into your purse, unless you don't have anything else to pack your leftovers in.

Chicken Feet

[Image Source]

Everyone loves a bag with form and function; classic structure mated with a creative twist make this accessory quite unique. We're sure this handbag is sure to get second looks. To protect the bottom of the bag from scuffs, it actually has feet. And not just any feet either; they are chicken feet. It looks like it's about to run away!

Toad Bag

[Image Source]

This strange looking bag looks like an oversized toad. What's not to love? Plenty. Wait a second, you're right; it is an oversized toad. We don't have to get into all the issues you may come across carrying this beaut, like nausea and ugly looks, but one has to wonder how much actually fits inside of the bag. If nothing else, it can function as a glorified cell phone case.

A Swinging Dead Cat Bag

[Image Source]

The design of this dead cat bag may not be a favorite for cat lovers, but it's definitely an attention getter. It doesn't look easy to carry, with an inflexible bar as the handle. It also seems relatively small, which wouldn't allow for many goodies, despite how inconveniently wide the purse is. How does it open? We hope it doesn't follow anatomy.

Peacekeeper Bag

[Image Source]

Live in a rough neighborhood? This purse has a brass knuckle handle that shows thugs you're not to be messed with. But really, most reasonably sized purses can function as a decent whacker. We think this is more of a statement of attitude than statement of actual functionality. Although, it looks like the handle is removable, so you can get down to business if need be.

Russian Doll Handbag

[Image Source]

This absolutely precious handbag is made from the outermost Russian nesting doll. It's unusual and completely irresistible. It would be a great little accessory for a night out on the town, and the classic colors allow for easy matching with many outfits. A wonderful plus is that it appears able to hold more than just a tube of lipstick, maybe ID, your cell, and some cash, which is something we all look for in a formal handbag.

Eco-Friendly Purse

Some people rinse and recycle plastic bottles, but an Austrian Industrial Design had another idea. Miulein cut the bottoms off of two bottles, connected them with a zipper and made this sweet little green change purse. It's cute and you do your part to save the planet! When I think of this purse though, I remember of how easily plastic two liters are crushed.

Cops and Donuts

[Image Source]

This purse appears to be a part of a costume or gag (we hope). The handcuffs may not have been the best choice of handle for comfort, but cops and donuts definitely go together like pigs and mud. This bag illustrates that wonderfully by attaching a pair of handcuffs to a yummy looking strawberry glazed donut. And not to mention, the sprinkle beads are a lovely touch. No, really, who doesn't love sprinkles?

To me, there's just something special about a high quality leather purse or bag. They are traditional, durable and never go out of style. However, not everyone is satisfied with commonplace purses and some like to carry standout handbags that are far from ordinary. Here's a look at 50 bags that stray from the beaten path. Love them or hate them, there is no denying that they are unique. Each is made with rather unusual materials, or fashioned to look like something it is not. As you'll see, this type of creativity in design produces purse styles ranging from cute to tragic.

Farm Animal in Chaps

This lovely purse was spotted at TJ Maxx. No idea what look designer Diane Gail was going for, but there's no doubt that she nailed "Farm Animal Wearing Chaps" with this one. Not sure if the pattern of the animal hide was lined up this way on purpose, but it reminds me of that one bad night I had at a Biker Bar with a cow.

Italian design house Ronchi Bags is preparing to infiltrate the American market with the launch of its new Fiit Collection.

Head designer Carlo Ronchi has grown his brand over three generations. I'm sure American audiences will be just as enthusiastic about his commitment to high-quality Italian leather and craftsmanship. Each purse is made from start to finish in the European fashion capital, and they come with certification to prove it.

The Fiit Collection is further testimony to that heritage, as the name translates to Made in Italy. The bags are crafted in buttery-soft goatskin, crumpled skin, and printed croc leather. Antique gold or gun metal gray hardware complete the luxurious looks. Handcrafted hooks and key-ring attachments add extra practicality to the cotton-lined interiors.

We expect to pay a small fortune for European designs, but that's not the case here. You can snag this Sofia bag for the bargain price of $435. Ronchi Bags are available now through online fashion store Noblivity.

If you're looking to add an animal print accessory to your wardrobe this season, look no further than snakeskin. Whether the genuine article or a more affordable embossed alternative, fashion experts say snake now trumps leopard and cheetah spots.

Andrea Linett, the creative directory of Lucky magazine, says snakeskin's popularity can be attributed to its versatile nature.

"A snakeskin boot can be rock 'n' roll if it's in a rock 'n' roll shape, or it's classic if it's in a lady shape," she explained.

Compare this to metal studs, which always add attitude, or frills which scream girly girl.

Snakeskin is "beautiful, rich and earthy," adds Abbe Held, creative director of handbag brand Kooba. She loves the interest that snakeskin's textured surface instantly creates. "It's neutral yet has so much character and personality."

It seems fashion fans agree, with retailers enjoying record sales of the sexy exotic.

"We're doing a lot of business on snakeskin, in shoes and handbags, especially," added Macy's group vice-president of ready-to-wear fashion Nicole Fischelis. "It's the fusion of things - the colors, the graphics, that you can wear it with dresses or sportswear - that makes it more interesting."

If you don't already own a snakeskin bag, perhaps it's time to add one to your wardrobe!

Do you have a princess at home? The world is full of girly girls who love nothing more than something to cuddle, some magic dust and a whole heap of pinkness. Catering directly for those needs is childhood handbag designer Popatu, the creators of this somewhat awful teddy bear bag.

This purse is the perfect thing for your little girl to carry around all her little girly things, which nowadays probably includes a tiny sparkly mobile phone and even, god-forbid, some makeup. Thankfully the interior of this plush squidgy clutch needn't be taken up by her teddy, which is instead fastened onto the front.

It is undeniable; this may be perfect for little girls, but it's therefore bound to be tasteless. The tutu wearing girl-bear on the front just further confirms this fact! That said, it is an innovative way to let your daughter act all grown up whilst still carrying around with her toys that ring loudly of childhood.

The bag itself isn't a mini version of a sophisticated adult clutch, which I think is a good thing. It has soft comfy handles and a cuddly snuggly plush exterior, meaning that daytime prancing can happily lead into nighttime exhaustion without any trouble!

All in all this is a silly and slightly ridiculous handbag. Consequently, little girls all over the planet are bound to love it.

It might be basic black, but this Steve Madden Animal Instincts satchel will help you get in touch with your wild side.

I've been on the fence with haircalf bags before, but by keeping the color conservative I think Steve Madden may have won me over. The surface looks soft and velvety rather than creepy and furry. I wish it was teamed with genuine leather rather than synthetic, but I suppose it keeps the price down. At nearly $230, this satchel is a lot more expensive than most Steve Madden purses already. Genuine leather may have won over bag snobs, but it probably would have alienated Steve Madden's budget-conscious fans.

While it might not withstand as much punishment, the synthetic doesn't diminish the Animal Instincts sexy good looks. The gleaming gold hardware provides a rich contrast to the brooding dark fabrics.

The animal appeal continues inside with the flamboyant leopard print lining. The zippered pocket and technology-loving slips help keep this sizable interior space in order.

The biggest flaw for me is the short straps. Sure, they're exceedingly cute, but they're just not practical for a bag of this size. I can't imagine how awkward I'd feel lugging this satchel around once it was loaded up with all my essentials! It's perfect for making a statement at dinner, but if you've got errands to run you'd best leave this baby at home.
