At first glance, this Elliott Lucca Napoli tote looks quite a bit like one of the brand's other drawstring handbags, the Aruba. In fact, the shape and basic design of the two is nearly identical.

The unmistakable differences, however, make the Napoli as a style worth considering just as much as the Aruba. ...

This might be the least Harveys looking seatbelt bag I've come across. However, the fact that it's meant to be a handbag supplement and not the main thing itself might have something to do with that.

Instead of the woven seatbelts we're used to seeing, the Baby Pack just has one running ...

Cole Haan puts a chic spin on the drawstring bag with this elegant Kendal tote.

The secret is the luxury leather, which gives subtle slouch rather than untidy bunching. The conservative colors also dress things up. Cuoio brown and black may not be showstoppers, but they do offer the kind of understated ...

While so many drawstring handbags are relaxed affairs, the black leather finish of this one makes it a more versatile choice. You probably wouldn't take it to your next picnic, but you could easily bring it to the office, and ...

I'm not really a butterfly person. I know there are people who are slightly obsessed with the graceful insect, but I don't usually include myself in that group. It's definitely not something I would think to put on a handbag, but if anyone would do it it's Jessica Simpson.

For some reason, ...

Gustto has created a cool, casual purse in the Parina. At $645 it's not exactly cheap, but it's rare to find a shoulder bag of such quality and style under four figures. So let's look at why it's turned my head.

First we've got that shape. The flared base and slim profile ...

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.

So far, I have been totally in love with every single bag in the new Marc Jacobs Collection for Summer. The theme of the season is something like "uptown girl on safari". The combinations of unusual colors and textures have been ingenious and perfect. 

But, honestly, I'm not loving this one. Wait. That's ...

Grommets tend to be an accent, giving a purse a little rock and roll edge without dominating the design. Hype has bucked that trend with the Riba, creating a tote that takes grommets out of the background and plants them firmly center stage.

Quite simply, this tote has grommets to spare. All ...

Zaftique has taken its Allegro and given it some casual twists to create the Metro drawstring bag.

The Metro still has the same distinct barrel shape and practical long handles, but it's the details which make this more grab and go than uptown chic. The first is the fabric. Where the ...

This bag is dubbed the equestrian feedbag, a name which instantly makes me think of a hessian sack filled with carrots or hay for Mr. Ed. But in reality this Isaac Mizrahi handbag shows a casual sophistication.

Drawstrings typically make a bag look relaxed, but this leather one's a little more ...

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I don't see Michael Kors as a particularly cutting edge designer who pushes the boundaries of fashion and makes people look twice. However, he's got his niche figured out and always seems to give us classy styles that aren't shocking but ...

We don't all need a huge handbag for everyday use.

However, these ubiquitous oversized bags we've been seeing so much of lately are extremely ...

Spring colors are popping up everywhere. While it may be a while before we see them emerging from the ground, the bright, cheery tones are once again invading the fashion world. Just in time to keep the gloom of lingering winter away, vibrant hues of purple, yellow, and more are bringing a ...

Buckles and drawstrings seem to be big with handbag designers in recent collections. When I first saw this Michael Kors Desert satchel, I immediately thought of the Elliot Lucca Estella bag. The shapes are somewhat similar, but the front details are almost identical.
