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!

With a name like the Cirque du Soleil, you couldn't expect this Lovecat wallet to be shy or retiring.

The circus-inspired purse is a real performer, with its soft ruched finished embellished by thousands of tiny reflective dots. They make the Cirque du Soleil glimmer and gleam in a way that's bound to polarize audiences. Look closely and you'll see larger spots peeking through the sheer fabric. Yes, it's girly and even a little childish. But as wallets spend most of their time tucked away in handbags, I think most of us can afford to be a little more daring.

Despite its playful looks, inside the Cirque du Soleil means business. It's a petite creature, yet there are still six card slots and four side storage slots. There's not one, but two, open sections for dollar bills and receipts, and a secure zippered coin pouch. A press-stud closure keeps everything safely inside.

It won't suit everyone, but at just $95, this is an affordable and practical purse for those thrilled by its sparkly exterior.

Kathrine Baumann has gone all out to celebrate Barbie's 50th anniversary with the release of this three-dimensional minaudiere.

Kathrine Baumann's trademark Swarovski crystals help to recreate everyone's favorite plastic doll. Golden sparkling gems make up her iconic blonde mane, while blue stones give her eyes just the right sparkle.

This is a tiny purse, and storage space is compromised by that head shape. Think bare basics ladies. You'll be able to carry your cash and cards, but you may need to ask your boyfriend to hold the rest of your essentials!

But practicality isn't entirely abandoned, with Kathrine Baumann providing a convenient golden chain strap. There are also additional Swarovski crystals, so you can easily fix any bald spots that develop in time.

This is a very faithful tribute, but I think it'd be a little creepy to carry a severed doll's head about. And that's before I even know the bottom line. The Kathrine Baumann website says the price is on application, so I'm not expecting it to come cheaply. I think this one might be for die-hard Barbie fans only!

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.

If you're traveling light, there are few options as convenient as a wristlet. They keep your hands free, and won't weigh you down like a regular handbag can.

This beaded purse from Global Elements is a fun option. The exterior is covered in thousands of teeny-tiny beads. The basic black backdrop helps emphasize the colored spots. Unlike many multi-colored purses, the dots here are fairly mellow in hues like green, gray, and brown. Even the red spots aren't blinding, particularly when paired with the other sedate shades. That makes the design seem a little more mature than many spotted purses.

If all those colors are still a little busy for your tastes, you could consider one of the single tone purses. Green and silver are grown-up options, while pink is pretty and playful.

While the beaded exterior is elaborate, inside this wristlet is a lot simpler. It's lined in plain black fabric, and there are no pouches or pockets. A zipper helps to keep all your bits and pieces safely inside.

As you might expect for its size and materials, this cute wristlet is cheap and cheerful at $28.

Sun N' Sand combines the contemporary taste for oversized purses with some fun retro spots to create this Polka Tastic Beach Bag.

These Polka Tastic carryalls are colorful without being lairy. You could never accuse the lime green or orange shades of being washed out, but they're not so bright you'll need sunglasses. Demure divas will also appreciate the subdued beige option.

The large ring handle adds to the tote's retro appeal. It's so big that you can thread your whole arm through it for easy carrying, although don't be surprised if it rubs your bare skin when the bag's full!

This handbag is massive, so there's no way you'll have to leave anything behind. While some beach bags only have enough space for a beach towel and togs, this one allows you to stash your snorkel and even a bucket and spade for sandcastle making! On the downside though, there aren't any pockets or pouches, so it's easy for those smaller items to get lost in the abyss!

Summer may be fading fast, but that just means you can enjoy the end-of-season savings on this already affordable bag!

One of my handbag ambitions is to own a Judith Leiber minaudiere. Their prohibitive prices and practical restrictions are a big stumbling block, but once I win the lottery I'm going to buy one of those gem encrusted beauties.

I'm not sure of the wearability of the eye-catching animal clutches she favors, so I'd probably opt for something like this leopard print minaudiere. Leopard print may be a little gaudy, especially in this candy pink, but it always seems to come back into vogue.

Swarovski crystals in varying shades of pink give this purse a graduated look. They're offset by black and silver gems, which form the leopard spots. The vintage curved shape is enhanced by an old-style pushlock closure made of onyx. Gold framing completes the elegant design.

Minaudieres have their limitations, and this one's no exception. Its petite stature and structured design doesn't afford us a lot of storage room, although it's significantly better than the oddly-shaped animal purses Judith Leiber often produces! The skinny snake strap doesn't look made for comfort or harsh treatment, but it is lovely to have a hands-free carrying option.

This Judith Leiber minaudiere won't be to everyone's tastes, with its distinctive look and practical limitations. But for those with their heart set on it, those flaws won't matter a bit!

More Features of This Judith Leiber Minaudiere

• A tuckaway shoulder strap with a 24 inch drop
• Measures 5 x 3 x 1.5 inches
• Comes with a Judith Leiber dust bag and swivel mirror

Sonia Kashuk's signature feminine style is on show again with this bold weekender cosmetic bag. But I worry that this time, the designer's gone too far.

The predominant pink and white paisley design is lovely, but it clashes with the stripes and spots that dot the top of the weekender, and all that shiny silver trim. All those patterns and prints compete, creating a look that's loud and a little confusing. If Sonia Kashuk had only exercised a little restraint the result would have been far more pleasing.

While the design lets it down, this weekender shouldn't be dismissed so quickly if you're a regular traveler. Those front pockets are just a hint of the bag’s organizational capacity. There's much more inside, with plenty of compartments to separate your cosmetics and toiletries. There's plenty of space for storing everything you need on a weekend away, but the soft-sided construction will help out girls who feel the need to take everything they own. Accidental spills are no stress either. The polyester finish simply wipes clean with a damp cloth.

So perhaps this Sonia Kashuk is a purse that should be appreciated for its inner beauty, rather than its outer failings. For just $24.99, I'm sure this is one bag you could learn to love.

Retro 1980s style purses are hot property right now, but I'm always a little reluctant to cash in on a fad which is bound to be fleeting. But at just $12.99, this Sonia Kashuk clutch may be the solution, helping us stay-on-trend without the guilt.

This is 80s fashion at its flamboyant finest. The purple polyester body has animal print overload, with splashes of cheetah spots and snakeskin scales. This wild fabric is juxtaposed with shiny silver. The vintage ball clasp looks a little incongruous with this vivid retro design, but I’m willing to forgive that little misstep. The 80s was about excess after all!

We all knew the budget price wouldn't come with too many frills, so the small and simple interior shouldn't come as any surprise. There are no pockets or pouches, but the tiny design means you won't need any organizational aids anyway. There's no space for luxuries either, but you should have no trouble squeezing a lipstick, keys, cell phone, and a few credit cards inside.

We may have to compromise on a few features, but this Sonia Kashuk clutch is an affordable way to enjoy the retro trend while it lasts.
