Joe's Jeans has created a casual bag to be reckoned with. Meet the Westport.

This is a real departure from the sumptuous leather handbags we used to see from the label. Instead of contemporary styling and a chic skin we see hardy black canvas. There's a ...

It seems V73 learned nothing after Hermes went after Thursday Friday. Just like the other cheeky fashion house, V73 has emblazoned its latest canvas tote with the iconic image of the Hermes Birkin bag.

There was a tongue in cheek cleverness about the way ...

Diane von Furstenberg, Carlos Falchi, Nanette Lepore, and a host of other American fashion designers have decorated canvas totes to help survivors of April's Alabama storms.

The Fashion Targets Tornadoes campaign will see the handbags auctioned off via eBay. Bidding commenced this week and will ...

Be & D dresses up the classic canvas tote with this Nixie bag.

The glazed lizard finish makes the tote's yellow canvas body feel a little more luxurious. I've never seen canvas treated this way, but it's incredibly well done. I don't think it'll ...

It's probably something that a writer shouldn't admit, but I'm running low on inspiration today. I'm battling the typical Mondayitis and a head cold all at once. It's not a lot of fun, which is perhaps why I'm drawn to this cheerful Inspire Tote. I'm ...

L.A.M.B. goes back to basics with this Malibu East-West tote bag.

Ordinarily this bag wouldn't turn my head, but after watching L.A.M.B. recycle the same shapes and prints for far too long I'm delighted to see something entirely new. In many ways it's a bog standard tote, but ...

A jumbled alphabet print gives this Metal Letters shoulder bag from Paul Smith some real personality.

This is a new pattern from Paul Smith, and one that's really refreshing. Let's face it; there are only so many rainbow swirls we can see ...

Omaha based designer Chris Hughes takes handbag manufacturing back to basics with his fashion label Artifact Bag Co.

Hughes crafts every bag by hand using old-fashioned hand tools and the vintage industrial equipment he finds at estate sales, warehouse liquidations, and internet classifieds. Each one is ...

Juicy Couture thankfully keeps the velour on the inside for this fun Live for Love Canvas Tote.

Perhaps I should stop expecting Juicy Couture to create frothy velour monstrosities, as we've been pleasantly surprised by many of the label's creations over the ...

Gucci has really been drawing on its roots this season. Every bag it puts out seems to be more classic than the next. This monogrammed canvas and leather shoulder bag is a great example of the way the line is reinvigorating its preppy chic aesthetic.

This navy ...

Ed Hardy accessories rarely float my boat, but the loud label's come a little closer to pleasing me than usual with the Filina satchel.

I'm certainly not head over heels, but there's a certain charm to the blue suede fringing and matching chunky handles. Washed canvas ...

HEX, a division of August Accessories, is preparing to launch its first line of handbags. The label made a splash with its iPod Nano watchbands, so it makes sense that its new purses also have a technology focus.

Two collections will make up the first HEX handbag line: ...

Juicy Couture offers a girly alternative to all those masculine laptop bags with this Perfume Pink Electronics purse.

This handbag is playful and pink, just as we'd expect from a Juicy Couture accessory, but it's also a little bit different too. The ...

Taiwanese designers Lin Su and Rika Lin create handbags that look just like they've jumped from the pages of a comic book. The unusual purses from their line Jump From Paper appear like two-dimensional, paper thin accessories, but they actually feature spacious interiors!

The designers ...

If you can't quite afford Juicy Couture’s classic Daydreamer tote, the iconic American brand may have created the next best thing. Meet the Trompe l'Oeil Canvas Tote.

The totes ...

Radley London is lending its support to Russell Simmons' 12th Annual Art for Life East Hampton benefit, to be held in the New York City suburb on July 30. The iconic British accessories company will provide VIP gift bags for the ...

Gucci is one of those lines that's been around the trend block more than a couple times. I've seen it go glam, equestrian, even goth. All of those phases have been fine, but honestly, I like it best when it sticks to its classic, preppy style. ...

Fossil channel a boho hippie vibe with their pun-tastic Key-Per tote.

If you are into pattern clashing and ethnic inspiration, then this canvas and leather tote will be just the thing. It combines an eye-catching fabric lining with a coated canvas body in a completely different print, and added ...

We can always count on Spiegel for low priced accessories, but they're not always the best looking. When the label attempts to replicate leather the shortcomings of its materials are obvious. That's why I think this canvas tote is one of Spiegel's best.

This ...

Take note L'Wren Scott. German fashion label Liebeskin Berlin has launched a collection of casual leather bags, and the most expensive of the lot is just $370.

Now this is a label that I would call "well priced." The purses in the range start from $250, ...

Moschino plans to make you swoon with this Print-A-Porter purse from its Love Moschino collection. But has it sent your heart racing?

Ordinarily fabric bags look so, well, ordinary, so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Its body is like so many canvas totes, although its psychedelic ...

The Fossil Vintage range re-lives some of the best traditional vintage moments from our fashion past.

The particular Zeitgeist being re-enacted for this fabric tote is the utilitarian look. This style is one that constantly cycles in and out of fashion, and it will have re-occurred time and time again throughout ...

Kate Spade delivers a dash of whimsy with this Ladybug shopper.

The shopper's style is classic, with clean lines and a bucket shape. But that bright red ladybug decorating the corner pocket ensures this handbag is anything but ordinary. I love the way Kate Spade has ...

Juicy Couture remains true to its creative vision without going over the top with this clever Icon Bling tote.

At first it appears like so many black canvas bags, and in many ways it is, but I think its design is actually very smart. ...

I'm used to seeing stylish leather bags in bright poppy colors from Joe's Jeans. So I was surprised to see the label opting for something a bit more casual with The Bag Canvas Argent.

The leather is gone, replaced with a relaxed military style canvas. The ...

Isaac Mizrahi tests our sanity with this Chic Gesso Printed Tote.

The designer plays by the rules here, giving this tote a traditional boxy shape and pair of rolled handles. It could have come from any fashion house, which is both a blessing and a curse. ...

Giani Bernini has always been a fashion house that favors neutrals. Most of its accessories are rendered in classic browns or blacks, so I was surprised to see the label playing with color with the release of this duffle bag. And with spring well and ...

Canvas? Check. Structure? Check. Well then, this couldn't be anything other than an affordable Michael Stars purse.

The components of this purse my be simple and kind of earthy, but that doesn't make them any less distinctive. Michael Stars has his own particular brand and style, and the Asymmetry clutch ticks all of the ...

Fossil celebrates the season with this fun floral Cameron tote.

There's nothing about chocolate brown canvas or typical box-style bags to rev us, but Fossil turns things around with that bright embroidered bloom. It really jazzes this tote up, saving it from being a pedestrian, blend into the ...

After seeing so many classic, and dare I say dull, leather handbags from Etienne Aigner I was taken aback by this Stonebridge tote. Surely such a casual creation couldn't come from such a buttoned up label!

Well yes it has, and not a moment too soon. ...

Bottega Veneta is one of those lines with unimpeachably good taste. It manages to combine cutting edge and classic in a way that is infinitely wearable. This Couple canvas tote is a great example of its inimitable design sensibility.

The gray and white canvas is minimal and ...

Will Leather Goods has designed the official bag for this year's Tribeca Film Festival.

It's a fitting project for the fashion house which owes its origins to the film industry. The company's CEO Bill Adler was formerly ...

What is it about Louboutin that makes the line so eternally elegant? I think its the sense of understatement. Louboutin bags are never overburdened with embellishment or over designed. This Melides tote is a great example of how the line melds a simple design with an eye-catching ...

I'd always assumed that Bottega Veneta could do no wrong. Its intrecciato woven day bags are divine. Its delicate knot clutches are exquisite. But it seems that even a fashion house as esteemed as Bottega Veneta can make a mistake. Allow me to introduce you ...

I am always shocked when Bally makes a handbag that isn't all leather, but when it comes up with designs like this fabulous Redgrave I can't really complain!

The main word for a painfully expensive bag like this? Classic. From the square handle, to the deep blue contrasting trim ...

This bag, unfortunately, combines two things that I am really tired of: canvas totes and graphic prints. Since when does slapping a kitschy silk screen down on a plain cotton bag count as "designing"? Ugh. Personal grievances aside, the Boat bag is pretty cute, even if ...

Do you want a car to match your Citroen? Well, then an Orla Kiely print is the only way to go!

These classic retro prints have gone down a storm in the automotive world, and they are equally popular in the fashion world. After all, ...

Beirn celebrates the summer weather ahead with this nautical inspired Boat Canvas Tote.

Beirn uses its favorite snakeskin as accents rather than the main attraction here. The vibrant pink skin dresses up the natural toned canvas. It doesn't make it red-carpet worthy, but it does help ...

It seems like as soon as I start to become really disappointed in DKNY, it does something wonderful. That's not entirely bad, it just makes them seem pretty inconsistent as a line as far as I'm concerned. Regardless, this leather and cotton tote is super classic and ...

Gucci seems to have taken inspiration from Louis Vuitton with this GG tote.

You must see what I mean; the colors and tones of this GG monogrammed purse resemble the designs of Gucci's famous competitor. The main difference (apart from the lettering, obviously!) is the choice ...

Structurally interesting bags don't often pop up for less than $100, so it was very nice to come across this Michael Stars clutch.

There are many things about this purse that make it worth paying attention to. First there is that ruched and gathered fabric exterior. ...

I feel like I spend the fall and winter seasons loving Anya Hindmarch and the spring and summer seasons wondering why. Perhaps it's because she actually designs her fall and winter offerings, while in spring and summer ...

Get set for summer with this casual Bahama tote from Big Buddha.

I really like Big Buddha's relaxed treatment of this classic tote style. Quilting is typically reserved for luxurious leather, but Big Buddha gives the diamond treatment a more relaxed feel. The frayed canvas edges ...

Big Buddha gets ready for summer with this nautical themed Sailor tote.

All of the classic maritime trademarks are there ... almost. The canvas body is made for withstanding salty sea air and the braided rope handles look like they've been stolen from the riggings of ...

Anya Hindmarch has been making good headway as a designer the past few seasons. She went from being an almost unknown to an editorial commonplace in a relatively short period of time. I have maintained an ambiguous relationship ...

Valentino's new designs haven't been my favorite these past few seasons. Since the maestro's retirement, the line has had a lot of stylistic ups and downs. Fortunately, this flower appliqued tote is firmly on the line's up side.

The natural ...

You know when your best friend does something really embarrassing and you feel the need to apologize for her? That's kind of how I feel about Lanvin right now. This is a line that I really, truly love, and I don't think there's any excuse ...
