Bulgari has gone back to the vault to celebrate its 125th anniversary. The Italian luxury brand has revived classic collections – the Doppio Tondo, Leoni, Collezione 1910, and Twist – but given them modern makeovers.

The Doppio Tondo line retains the distinctive double overlapped round metallic rings engraved with the double "Bulgari" logo. These double rings take inspiration from the infinite loop, reminding us of the classic styling the brand represents. The wine red and forest green shades are new though, the jewel tones ideal for the cooler weather ahead.

We see the double logo again in the Twist, although this time it's printed on a duo of medallions. This season the line has a more relaxed feel thanks to the drawstring closure.

The Leoni bags are also a little more casual this time around, with their rounded corners. The original handles and clasps have also been moved to the center of the purse for a bold new look.

The Collezione 1910 hearkens back to the year the first Bulgari store opened in Rome. The collection features the brand's original Art Nouveau style advertisement printed on leather, oiled linen, or cotton canvas. Calfskin trimmings and handles add a little luxury to the less decadent fabrics, while the leather receives a special treatment for everyday use.

The retro Bulgari bags aren't cheap, with the leather purses clocking in at a few thousand a piece, but the classic styles might be worth a splurge.

This cute hobo from Calvin Klein is more uptown glamour girl than flower power princess, thanks to its sexy metallic shine.

The genuine leather gives the Metallic Pleats hobo a little slouch, but it's not as pronounced as many bags of this type. The stitched pleats create extra structure and style, which makes this purse a great option for day-to-night wear.

At least, it is if you know how to travel light. It is called a mini hobo after all! The slender profile really limits storage space, so beware if you own a chunky wallet or like to have a fat novel on hand. Another practical limitation is the strap, which is just that fraction too short for comfortable over-the-shoulder carrying.

This dark hematite shade is my favorite. It's a little less glitzy and more reserved option than the bold silver version. Of course, many bagistas love that light bright look, so it’s nice to see Calvin Klein offering both metallic options.

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!

Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp.

If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this bag as a pretty purse in its own right, then it doesn't feel quite so "samey." After all, the majority of bags on the market are still leather, so it is nice to see one that still lets you have a black bag with a metallic twist.

Especially nice, and proof of the company's metal expertise, is the matte vs. shiny striping. As well as being visually pleasing for you to look at, it adds a certain art deco vibe that goes down well with plenty of smart evening outfits. The glam metal probably makes it too over-the-top for day wear, so at a posh event or urban club night this will look great.

Whiting & Davis are always great at adding in a handle to make your delicate clutch more functional. However, the handle added into this purse is in a chunky chain, which doesn't work well with the light and feminine mesh pattern.

If you want a traditional mesh purse with a modern style, this purse will do you well, although it won't revolutionize handbag design at all!

We all have outfits that call for a slightly dressier than average type of handbag, but budgets often don't accommodate for the prices of Swarovski-studded, intricately detailed designer styles. For a truly affordable evening bag, Magid is definitely one of the brands to seek out.

Though you won't get super high quality materials, this brand has some really nice options for dressy accessories under $50. This Crystal Stone Clutch might not live up to the standards of other jeweled handbags, but the $43 price tag and simple design are worth considering when your pocketbook is calling for cutbacks.

The design is basically a simple fabric zippered pouch with silver and black manmade jewels sewn on in a random pattern. I actually really like the somewhat haphazard layout of the stones. It detracts from the quality of the actual jewels, and the interesting pattern fits right in with current trends. It's too bad that the feature doesn't continue on the back, but that's not completely unexpected for this type of purse.

As with most budget-friendly bags, I wouldn't take this one through too much use or you might see some wear and tear on it, especially with the sewn-on stones. However, since it's meant to function as an evening bag, which is only required occasionally, that probably won't pose much of an issue.

Is this is wallet, a coin purse or a clutch? Perhaps it is a little makeup bag, or simply a storage pouch? This square little purse is quite a mystery, and it is confusing me!

Regarding looks, it is actually quite a nice break from the norm to see something this undecorated. The bright blue or silver color stands out for itself and doesn't need to be adorned. A little bit of function is added by the simple tied zip pull, but other than that there are no fancy features or special additions.

So, what we are left with is a small, elegant square pouch, with no interior or exterior pockets and no buttons, nor bells and whistles. In essence, this is a totally, utterly versatile square of leather, great for holding your phone, or your jewelery, or even accompanying you on a night out.

As for what it is? I think you might have to decide that yourself!

This colorblock approach is more and more becoming the signature style of the L.A.M.B designers.

The Jean bowler makes great use of the patent panels, contrasting them with the metallic body and matte accents. Lookswise, this design ticks all the boxes for adding texture, pattern and interest into the design.

Whilst the bowler shape and black patent make this bag look quite formal, the metallic shade adds a new degree of glamor. This is great, as it means that you could happily wear it after work for a night out or meal, although the large size will probably be a little too much.

Inside, this satchel could have opted for a rather boring matte shade. However, as you can tell, L.A.M.B likes to produce attractive and slightly quirky purses. Consequently, the strangely fabulous interior lining is in bold stylized black and white stripes, contrasting excellently with the curved exterior. I could have used a few more pockets inside the bag, what with the space, but this bowler does have an excellent capacity.

All in all this is a bold and vivacious bag that has bags of attitude and just about enough functionality. A cross-body shoulder strap would be nice, but beggars can't be choosers.

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.

Betsey Johnson appeals even more to the wild side than normal, if you can imagine, with this Betseyville Lucky Stripes Hobo. Instead of simply whimsical, cutesy, or retro like other styles from the brand, this handbag is exotic and dramatic.

Forget subtle details, though Betsey Johnson isn't always known for that, the Lucky Stripes bag takes this design full throttle with a blend of printed animal patterns, shiny metallic trim, and bright colors. There's nothing understated about it.

This shimmery fabric hobo is large in size and will fit plenty of extra items like magazines, paperwork, and even the bonus tiger-face zippered pouch that comes with the purchase. Although the handle isn't really long enough to wear across the body like a messenger bag, it is a comfortable length for getting things in and out quite easily.

The real surprise, however, is the fact that the solid-colored fully lined interior is printed with a large Betseyville logo on one side and embroidered lips on the other. The Lucky Stripes bag is completely reversible allowing you to decide whether you want to sport bright animal print or a solid color with embellishments. When you factor in the bonus pouch, that comes to a total of three bags for one price of $88.

An expensive bag and luxury brand-name are all well and good, but that doesn't always mean that you will end up with an elegant and sophisticated purse. This over-decorated and dramatic evening bag from huge fashion-house D&G is a perfect case-in-point.

This individual key words for this bag paint a luxurious picture. The detailed and delicate beaded exterior, with its sparkling diamante layer. The soft deep-black tassel key charm, and the folded scrunched black satin fabric. Together, however, that spark of brilliance is missing.

Instead of heavenly, the actual finished result is a little over-the-top and a bit too much. I think the gold keyhole clasp clashes with the lighter silver diamante, and this in particular makes this very expensive luxury evening bag seem somewhat cheaper than it really is.

Slightly questionable looks aside, the bag is elegant and pricey. It may not be to my tastes, but that dramatic style may just be your cup of tea.
