Rampage shows us what happens when a designer follows the trends, and decides to use all of them on the one handbag, with this confused Cadence cross-body tote.

Snakeskin printed fabric. Check. Ruching. Check. Eyecatching metal hardware. Check and check. It's just simply too much. Honestly, the ruching would have been too ...

It's the season for plaid, and this classic print seems to be popping up everywhere. Like the Nine West Rory Cross-Body Bag, this Roxy Living It Up hobo handbag fits right in with the checkered scarves and coats that have now emerged from peoples' closets.

Although I tend to prefer red and ...

This reversible handbag from The Jesse B. Collection gives you two looks in one!

Five white buttons secure the reversible cover to the frame-style bag. One side features this chic red and white houndstooth print. The other is bright red wool, perfect for the cooler weather to come this year!

The removable cover ...

The Mademoiselle collection from Guess has the kind of easy bags you can wear on a regular basis knowing that they'll go with most casual, everyday outfits.

I wouldn't carry the Mademoiselle N/S Shopper to a night at the theatre, but this handbag has plenty of other practical uses. It's significantly sized interior is ...

Versatility is the name of the game in a world where we are all still tightening our purse strings (pun intended). This spacious crossbody tote from The SAK is easily converted into a chunky clutch - two bags for the price of one!

As a tote this is a tall and spacious bag ...

The global economic crisis has got us all thinking about where our cash is going, or at least how we'll justify that latest handbag splurge to the man in our life. Tepper Jackson has your line of defense sorted with this reversible tote.

The $120 price tag doesn't just buy you one ...

It's time to dust off those fall clothes and get your winter wardrobe in order because the warm season is quickly fading away. With that in mind, I think it's more than appropriate to start considering accessories that involved those delightfully luxurious winter fabrics like cashmere, velvet and suede.

If suede is your ...

Baggallini has made its name by putting functionality first. Their purses may never attract celebrity fans or longing gazes, but they're some of the most practical around.

The design is simple, without buckles or bows to add any aesthetic appeal. The only real individuality comes from the color you choose, and there ...

There's a special place in my heart for bright yellow handbags. Something about the way they brighten up a wardrobe but somehow go with almost anything just makes me smile. It's the perfect way to add a little pop to what you're wearing.

This Roxy Over the Rainbow satchel isn't the brightest of ...

Proenza Schouler's much anticipated handbag line has taken a somewhat spartan approach to design. I don't just mean the design itself, which is, indeed, done with a light touch and an eye towards value. But, I also mean that they have smartly decided to stick with only a few basic shapes and ...

I love the Marc by Marc Jacobs line because it makes high design available at a lower price. The line is replete with affordable alternatives to the higher priced designer lines, and with a hip and downtown edge.

Lately I am crazy for purple, all shades of it. For summer, I am really ...

The name of this handbag might be similar to the the Silverlake Flap Bag also from The SAK, but the two styles are very different in appearance.

Whereas the Silverlake is made from a subtle dark leather material, this Dandelion bag is crafted from practical nylon. The funky, retro-style print on the ...

Well, hello Upper East Siders, I spy a delectable leather accessory on the arm of Queen B. It seems that despite her romantic shortcomings, Blair Waldorf's fashion sense is as on point as ever. If you don't worship at the Gossip Girl altar like yours truly here then I may have already ...

Like many of the Hollywood elite, I am in love with Foley + Corinna's quirky shapes and styles. I don't review them that often, because, honestly, they all look pretty much alike, except for color. That is until this baby came around. It's a whole new take on what has become a ...

LeSportsac is pretty much the epitome of function, at least for the handbag world. I don't think they even produce bags that aren't completely convenient and durable. If they do, I certainly haven't come across them.

Hence, the Jen Cross Body bag fits perfectly into the typical functional, cute, and sturdy categories that ...

There's nothing as disappointing as when one of your favorite designers comes up with something that you think is totally unoriginal. Then you have to begin to question your own taste and wonder whether they were ever original at all.

Not that I would ever wonder those things about Marc Jacobs. I ...

I'm not one of those girls that just goes totally nuts when they see the Fendi logo. In fact, I have been known to disregard the line entirely because it tends to be a little too flashy for my personal taste. But sometimes they come up with something that really intrigues me, ...

Katie Holmes might have been draped in Miu Miu bags for the brand's spring/summer ad campaign, but her latest accessory of choice is the Coach Parker Hippie handbag.

This celebrity mom is known for setting trends, but I think the practicality of this tote probably had more to do with this choice. ...

Yellow is the color of the season, as confirmed by Michelle Obama at the Presidential Inauguration, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and at various public appearances. As anyone in Washington will tell you, economizing is another hot trend. What better way to make your purchase go further than a ...

Marc Jacobs seduces downtown girls by giving them everyday basics that every girl on the block will envy. This black leather tote is the perfect addition to his collection of covetable accessories.

Truthfully, this is the kind of bag that girls like me spend years searching for. It's black, so it goes with ...

The beautiful yellow toned python finish of this Kara Ross Claro Clutch makes it much more than just another snakeskin bag.

The sunny tones are so unique and ideal for those summer parties ahead. The multi-colored snakeskin is enhanced by a glittering black gemstone bordered by shiny gold-tone metal. But it's ...

It's easy to inject a little Scottish style into your wardrobe with this fun Accessorize convertible clutch.

The traditional red tartan fabric is dressed up with shiny black patent trim. The design is minimalistic and practical, with a secure outside pocket fastening with a patent tab and stud. I'm not sure about ...

If you're going to pay over $900 for a bag, it might as well be one you can use several different ways. I appreciate how many designers today are offering handbags that can convert between two or more styles.

This Bally Pemba Pouchette is one of those clever totes that actually transitions ...

Sometimes it's the older fashion houses that come up with something new and surprising. Celine is almost always classic and sophisticated, but I am impressed by their more youthful, cheerful approach to design on the Blossom Pocket Tote.

The bold yellow is extraordinary, and I can't help loving it, despite my stodgy affection ...

Lanvin is famous for creating classic, sophisticated styles that women cherish. Their line is so timelessly chic that multiple generations share Lanvin dresses as heirlooms. They almost never fall into the trendy trap, and I am always thankful for that.

Which is why I am so terribly confused and upset by their lack ...

American company Lucky Brand must have been inspired by the Brits when naming this Abbey Road messenger bag. Though mostly known for their casual and generally feminine styles, this leather fold-over has a slight masculine vibe. In fact, I would almost classify this handbag as appropriate for both men and women.

Don't let ...

I have always loved the combination of black and nude, especially when it's a soft blushy nude, especially when it's on a bag made of leather, and most especially when that bag is made by Chloe. When you combine it with the retro flair and everyday practicality of a shoulder bag like ...

This is not the Fendi bag for the logo-obsessed. Of course, the logo is there, prominently even. But, the To You convertible bag is more than a vehicle for upside down F's. It is one of the most unusual and contested bags to come out over the past few years. Some people ...

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler are really making a name for themselves, handbag-wise, with their debut line of PS1 bags. Meant to be unisex, most of them feature simple lines and traditional shapes with little embellishment, besides the often shockingly bright color palette, that is. 

They strike the perfect balance between ...

Less than a year old, and Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's PS1 line of purses for Proenza Schouler have already found favor among a sassy grab bag of the a-list elite. Mary Kate Olsen owns several styles and colors in the line, and where she goes, other skinny starlets are ...

The woman next to me on a recent flight home from New York had a Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote stuffed under the seat in front of her, and when she fell asleep, I seriously considered snagging it. But, beyond the obvious deviousness of stealing someone's handbag (I would have left ...

It isn't often that you find a designer suede handbag, unless it's one of those fly-by-night, 80's inspired boho hobos, of course. Whether the shortage of suede accessories is due to current trends, or suede's reputation for indurability, I'm not sure. Either way, I'm glad the tide is turning, because not only ...

Phillip Lim is known for producing minimalist objects with subtle and discrete charms, and the Tally tote certainly won't disappoint his biggest fans. Although at 15" x 18.5", the bag is big enough to be used as an overnighter, its generous size doesn't keep it from fitting right in with the rest ...

If you're looking for the perfect holiday bag, you may have just found it. Roger Vivier combines a classic shape and subtle couture styling with just enough holiday sparkle to make the Belle party ready.

The smooth champagne gold leather is softly metallic, which perfectly offsets the oversized gold buckle. There are no ...

This hot new bag from Foley + Corinna combines the subtle luxury of soft, supple leather with a touch of hard-edged attitude. The matte leather is the perfect showcase for the shiny gold pyramid studs. Sometimes it seems like designers go a little crazy when it comes to studs, placing them willy-nilly ...

Reese Witherspoon, Ashley Olsen, and Nicole Richie agree: the Givenchy Nightingale is a modern classic. The generous 13" x 14" x 6" size means it fits in, sizewise, with all the latest hip, huge bags, but it's simple shape tells us that it will transcend all the trends.

The simplicity of the slouchy ...

Get ready to party with this Melie Bianco hobo bag. The soft leather-like material falls in soft folds to create a modern knotted design.

It should look familiar to reality TV junkies. This is the same handbag Lauren Conrad wore on Laguna Beach when she checked out her new house with Stephen!

This pretty purse ...
