I think it's really interesting that the fashion world has heard very little from Gucci in the past five years or so, but now that it's come back, it's made a distinct return to its roots. The classic equestrian preppy Gucci look is in full swing on this leather ...

Plaits are big in the accessories market this winter, as they seem to be popping up all over the place. They add a simple glamour without having to over-embellish.

I have been searching for a casual straw clutch that doesn't go the route of employing a leather-esque trim for a few months now, and this Mar Y Sol clutch from Mad Imports is the closest candidate I have come across so far.

While most clutches try a formal and structured approach to straw, ...

B. Makowsky puts a modern twist on the traditional hobo with the Westport.

While it might sound like it came from an exclusive private school, the Westport isn't too different from any traditional hobo. It's more boho-chic than straight-laced, with slouchy soft leather and relaxed style.

But the Westport isn't just another run-of-the-mill ...

If I didn't know that this Lola tote happens to be a Harveys bag, I'd never guess that it's made from the label's signature seatbelt material.

Featuring what might be the most atypical Harveys design I've seen yet, the Lola fits right in with the recent ruffled handbag trend that seems to ...

With its raspberry jewel tone and contemporary styling, the Ashton shoulder bag is a versatile choice for this season.

Elaine Turner strikes the delicate balance between classic and modern here. A little pleating near the base gives the bucket shape a subtle slouch, but it's still fairly traditional. The details are what ...

Cole Haan's line of hand-woven handbags in the Genevieve weave must be one of the brand's biggest sellers since they seem to have a countless number of bag styles with the design. From satchels to wallets, the Genevieve pops up in almost any search for Cole Haan bags.

Melie Bianco has a special knack for creating on-trend handbags that don't cost the earth. While the label has been known to "borrow" inspiration from Jimmy Choo and Valentino, it's just as capable of coming up with must-have fashion items all its own. The Franny is this season's head-turner.

The ...

Treesje has given the hobo a contemporary country makeover with the Sophia.

The buttery soft leather is embellished with braided accents, perfect for all those urban cowgirls. Western embellishments can often come across as kitsch, but that's not the case here. By using complementary leather and keeping the details to a minimum, ...

Drawstring totes can be considered mainstays of casual handbag fashion. They come in all shapes, sizes, prices, and textures ranging from the affordable patent Jessica Simpson Extra Extra to the popular designer Botkier James Satchel.

Because of the abundance this type of bag, I can't really call the Elliott Lucca Aruba a unique design. ...

Treesje has given a little edge to the floaty, feminine boho style with its Audrey hobo handbag.

The traditional slouchy design and relaxed vibe are still there, but they're toughened up a little with the braided accents. This feature gives the lamb-leather purse a rich texture and slightly more structured shape than ...
