If ever there was a must-have accessory, it's a black leather tote. Like the little black dress, this versatile wardrobe staple never goes out of style. Giuseppe Zanotti's answer is this Naplak Nero handbag.

The traditional boxy tote shape is glammed up with polished patent leather and modern ruching. Giuseppe Zanotti lets these details shine by keeping accents to a minimum. The only hint of bling is in the silver center frame, which is capped off with a chic jeweled closure.

This framed section helps to divide the tote into three compartments. Each is large and functional, perfect for surviving a day at the office or the mall. Additional pockets in the side walls make it even easier to keep your essentials in order.

The dual shoulder straps are padded to cushion your shoulders when you're on the go. It's these practical touches that give this Guiseppe Zanotti tote the edge over the other labels. While the details impress me, I'm not sure they justify the whopping $2280 price tag.

Anya Hindmarch's signature style is show with the Chapman Tote. It's all urban and contemporary, with naplak patent leather and a splash of hardware delivering just the right amount of gloss.

It might be a shiny gem, but the Chapman is no show pony. The traditional tote shape is uncluttered, allowing the tan patent leather to take center stage. By keeping the color conservative, the Chapman doesn’t appear as flashy as many other patent purses. But if you really want to stand out, it's also available in bright red and electric blue.

The canvas handles also help to give the Chapman an everyday vibe. The straps thread from the top of the tote to the base, mimicking the racing stripes popularized by brands like L.A.M.B. I'm sure the fabric would feel wonderful in your hands, especially when the Chapman's loaded up. But unfortunately the straps are too short for most of us to sling over our shoulders. This is such a big bag, so it's shame to miss out on this extra functionality.

Anya Hindmarch also lets us down inside. Again, it's the size which isn't backed up by the features. A single zippered pocket and a slip pouch really isn't enough to organize this generous space. A pen slot and key ring are convenient touches, but I'm sure most of us would have preferred more practical pockets.

The Chapman has its limitations, but it's got a distinctive look and plenty of space on its side.

If you liked Zufi Alexander’s Kiss Me Baby, you’re going to love the Kiss Me Weekend Bag. Made of the same gorgeous Naplak leather, this is one seriously durable weekender. Naplak is similar to patent leather, but has been through a tumbling treatment process that increases the longevity of the material. Which is great, because I can certainly see toting the Kiss Me Weekend Bag for many years to come.

The steely blue color of the bag is sleek and versatile, and I love the contrast of the gold and black hardware against the shiny Naplak. The front of the Kiss Me is free from distracting logoplates, just like I like it. The large, secure strap closure provides an interesting visual centerpiece. I love the softly rounded rectangular lines of the bag, and the way the seam detail mimics and reinforces those lines.

The dual rolled leather handles attach to the bag with rectangular and tonal octagonal leather patches, which adds another crucial layer of subtle detail. The Kiss Me has a long top zipper for packing ease, and a strap closure for security. The rhinestone flower accessory is the Kiss Me’s single sparkly detail, and it looks lovely against the anything-but-basic blue backdrop.

The Kiss Me also features two longer shoulder straps, perfect for slinging over your arm when you need to run to catch that last flight. Expect to stand behind a host of starlets pushing their Kiss Me Weekend Bags through security in the very near future.

Zufi Alexander is really making a name for herself with her eponymous line of super deluxe, high style handbags. And not only that, but her name is becoming synonymous with some of the top names in Hollywood, like Katherine Heigl and Lindsay Lohan.

Most of Ms. Alexander's designs bring a hot trendy point of view to a classic bag, like her Y Clutch. But, some of them like the Kiss Me and the Kiss It in Black Luxe, are bringing a hot trendy point of view to, well, hot trends, in a way that redefines rather than just simply refining.

The simple hobo shape is reimagined on the Kiss It with the top flap and strap closure. I love the way the flap rests against the compartment of the bag, setting itself apart, and creating an almost bow-like shape. The hematite toned hardware of the clasp exactly fits the bad girl attitude of the bag, and the futuristic upraised detailing on it adds another layer of interest.

The rolled leather handle both grows out of the bag, and is also attached with goldtone O-ring links. The clashing hardwares might be disturbing on a less edgy bag, but on the Kiss It, they fit right in. The real coup de grace is the gold link chain that adorns the front of the bag. Since it's gold, it adds a little hint of uptown class, but on the backdrop of the black leather, it packs a punk rock punch.

I simply love the Kiss It, from the quality leather down to the close stitch detail, and back to its take anywhere, devil-may-care attitude. I can see it working as a great going out bag for an uptown girl looking to edge up her evening, or if you're a little bit more rock-n-roll, like me, as a great complement to an already all black wardrobe. As far as what this bag will do for your attitude, the name says it all.

Zufi Alexander is definitely going to keep working her way up the A-list with fabulous futurist bags like the Kiss Me Baby in gunmetal Naplak. Already, fashion icon Sienna Miller and actress Katherine Heigl have been spotted with the Kiss Me Baby, and where those ladies roam, other fashionistas are sure to follow.

I really can't get over the extraordinary sheen and unique texture of the metallic gunmetal Naplak. Shiny Naplak leather looks like patent, but has been tumbled for durability. The brushed hematite finish on the hardware is the perfect complement to the color of the bag. I also love the way the piecy strands of the strap are gathered into the rolled leather handle. This is definitely a bag with a lot of dimensions.

The shape of the bag is itself a geometric interpretation of lips, and the soft horizontal pleating sets the shape off gorgeously. I love the way the central strap detail contrasts with the soft body of the bag, giving it a structured, futuristic look.

While the soft and sleek look of this bag embodies everything I love about contemporary design, it is not a bag for the faint of heart. It would make a great day bag for a girl whose style is all about attitude, and also would be an amazing accessory for a night out in the city.
