Lodis goes mod with this Brooklyn Jada Shoulder Bag.

Taupe isn't a color I ordinarily fall for, but I love the way the colored cross design makes this fairly bland hue much more appealing. The criss-crossing swatches are interesting but not overly feminine which ...

According to dictionary definitions, utilitarian is a word describing something designed for use rather than beauty. So it's only fitting that Laurel & Sunset's used the word to christen this hobo bag.

I wouldn't say the Utilitarian's an ugly duckling, but it clearly puts ...

Hayden-Harnett's created a purse to take us from the morning coffee run to cocktails with this Pompidou Clutch.

Fossil takes us back to the 70s with this boho inspired Modern Cargo Tote.

The buttery soft leather gives the Modern Cargo its casually cool silhouette. The slightly shiny skin reminds us that it isn't the best quality leather, but it's better than most materials at ...

Emilie Sloan serves up another cute and practical accessory with this Sonja satchel.

I'm smitten by this satchel's domed shape, and the pop of the patent leatherette lime trim. The shiny green piping and handles look gorgeous against the delicate Asian inspired floral fabric.

The midsized interior ...

If there's one thing that bugs me, it's false advertising. If you use an adjective to name your accessory, it'd better live up to the hype. Needless to say, I'm disappointed by Chloe's High Tech Wristlet.

The thing is, there's nothing high tech about this wristlet. ...

BelArno's created a fun and functional purse with this Tri-Zip Clutch.

Its simple design is livened up by bright stripes of color. We're taken from a pale violet to a deep eggplant shade with this purple clutch, but it's just one of five options. That includes a solid ...

You might just have to catch me; I'm feeling a major case of puppy love with this Stuart Weitzman Whippet Clutch.

After gazing upon far too many frilly, jewel encrusted clutch purses, the Whippet's edgy design has really struck me. On one hand it's just your ...

Aldo has an uncanny knack for interpreting modern trends for less. With this Goetter, the budget fashion house takes on nudes.

I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of a nude color palette. It's very now, but the shades always seem a bit washed out and boring ...

7286 is Lindsay Lohan's pet project, something to keep the starlet occupied while she's waiting to land that next movie role or wind up back in rehab. I must admit that I haven't seen a lot of the collection, but if the Fifi is any indication the ...

It might not quite have me on my knees, but I've fallen hard for Big Buddha's Layla.

I can't help thinking of the Matelasse bags as I take in the quilting on the Layla. Just as Miu Miu did before, Big Buddha's stepped outside the ...

Baggallini's always made purses for girls on the go, but with this On the Go Bag the label's made it official.

What this cross-body purse lacks in style, it makes up for in substance. It's enormous, but with a pair of main compartments and ...

Coach shows some uncharacteristic sparkle with this Occasion sequin wristlet.

I've never seen Coach quite so spangly as it appears here. Gone are the signature prints we typically expect from the line, replaced instead with a cacophony of glittering gold sequins. If you look closely you can see ...

Treesje's promising us bliss with this Nirvana cross-body tote.

I'm not sure whether it's going to take us to a higher plane of existence, but I am charmed by the Nirvana's softly pleated body and rich coffee colored leather. The pleating keeps the silhouette relaxed, while the structured ...

The Disco City mini bag from Foley & Corinna takes a favorite brand design (that curved handle and long shape) and applies it to a mini bag format. The result? An unusual looking purse with enough added glamour to really make ...

Jessica Jensen's woven handbags aren't as renowned as Bottega Veneta's, but with this convertible tote she reminds us why they're worth a look.

With the Evil Eye Jalda has created a clutch that's not as devilish as it sounds!

This clutch gets its name from its large elliptical metal accent. Don't you think it looks a little like an evil eye? This silvery detail is modern and a great ...

A pretty purse for practical people, this DKNY clutch offers a lot of p's for the price.

OK, so this purse isn't anything remarkable. It is just a bright and cheery accessory with a hint of designer charm. The shape is predictable and rectangular, whilst the short strap pretty much ...

I'll be honest, sometimes Bourne's designs can end up looking a little tacky. This is why I am glad to see a purse that still features its signature bright colors and diamanté, but in a simple and refined way.

The Tamara is quite large for a clutch, ...

Forzieri offers us real versatility for our dollar with this sophisticated tote messenger.

It might have a demure name, but this Eliza bag from Max Azria's BCBGeneration label is totally fierce.

Animal prints have always been a reliable way to inject some attitude into an accessory, but this one's a bit different than those we typically see. The print is created ...

Whether you're planning a Down Under vacation or visiting a destination a little closer to home, you'll stay organized with the Sydney Bagg.

7 Chi reminds us that feminine good looks don't have to come covered in bows or splashes of lurid pink with this gentle Rosa clutch.

Zara Terez keeps it simple with this convertible Mediano shoulder bag.

This purse reminds me of so many clutches from the Lauren Merkin stable, with its curved flap and soft, gently pleated body. But it's given its own personality with a choice of exotic ...

Do you want zippered pockets? You've got them with this Maraka Tote from Nine West.

Those zip pockets are the centerpiece of this bag, which is a really good thing. I love it when an element makes a bag aesthetically pleasing and practical, and these pockets ...

Feathers can have a tendency to lean towards the drag queen end of the fashion spectrum, but if used wisely they can actually be a very glamorous and stylish decoration. Thankfully this is exactly the case in this Zara Terez clutch.

You see, the feathers ...

I admit, my first impression was to dismiss this purse as a half-hearted ...

A handbag that converts from one shape to another is pretty much two bags for the price of one, which is just what we want in these hard financial times!

We're dying to see what such ...

With boys and work to contend with, we can't always expect our gal pals to cater to our every whim. Thankfully we can rely on the BPal cross-body bag from Steven by Steve Madden to do just that!

Alright, so ...

I've always really liked the work of Nancy Gonzalez, but she has really outdone herself this time. Seriously, I am about to start gushing, because this metallic croc clutch is one of the hottest bags I've seen all season.

The pale gold metallic crocodile skin on this clutch ...

At its best ruching can soften a handbag and show off the quality of its leather. At its worst the accent looks a little something like this.

I'm not sure what Zac Posen did wrong here, but the result looks off to ...

Treesje delivers a purse with enough attitude and functional features to take you from day to night with this Spokes convertible clutch.

Add a little glitz to your everyday with this Gwen convertible tote bag from Oryany.

Notice that I said a little glitz though. While sequined material is never shy or retiring, in basic black it doesn't appear ostentatious. There's a brown version as well, but this one doesn't ...

After seeing so many wild lurid pink and tie-dyed bags from Mulberry, I'm thrilled to see the British label return to its roots with this Somerset satchel.

Some may accuse the brown oak leather of being a bit stuffy, but this conservative shade is much more timeless than ...

Mad Imports gets us ready for the warm weather ahead with this summery Marielle Clutch.

Few fabrics evoke the steamy heat of summer like woven raffia. This fiber is tightly woven here, so it looks classier than most of its peers. I'm not suggesting you could rock it ...

Is it just me or are handbags starting to shrink? When once our accessories could comfortably hold the kitchen sink with space to spare, these days it's all about carrying the barest of essentials. The Alpine Lexy from Lodis is part of this new breed ...

Stella McCartney isn't one of my favorite accessory designers, and I've never made a secret of that. I admire her commitment to using animal-friendly materials, but they don't always make for good designs. But she's sort of surprised me with this fold over tote. ...

Eyelets. Once the domain of the rockers and the punks, and now a fashionable way to add some attitude to an otherwise boring handbag.

Although the shape of this Kooba Sam clutch does make it a bit different, it is safe to say that it would be kind of boring ...
