The fold-over shape of this clutch is simple, which is perhaps why ...

Beirn takes the snakeskin we love, but uses it on a much smaller scale with this Annie clutch.

Mini bags get a bit of a mixed reception in the handbag world. They often try to be too many things, and the risk is that the designer tries to cram everything from a normal sized purse into a mini version.

The Malis mini tote is ...

It wouldn't be a Betseyville handbag if it didn't come spring-loaded with attitude, so everyone say a cheery hello to the punk inspired "Punky Rox" clutch!

Lucky Brand delivers an interesting twist on the fold-over tote with this Bandit bag.

Lucky Brand adds a feminine feel to its otherwise androgynous Abbey Road range, with the embroidered Forkloric tote.

7 Chi has given us a purse that's right on trend, and on budget, with this Mally mini shoulder bag.

Rather than a traditional flap design, 7 Chi gives us pretty stitching and ruched details. It's a lot to take in, but in this gentle gray-black shade it ...

Foley + Corinna's trademark urban aesthetic is delivered in a practical package in this Decker Shoulder Bag.

At first glance it seems like so many shoulder bags. Sure there are three practical pockets and the leather is lovely, but the simple shape and lack of real design flair isn't like to turn ...

What's this, you say? A metal mesh clutch made by someone other than Whiting & Davis? Remarkable!

It may be a rare sight, but BCBG Max Azria has given the mesh masters a run for their money with this fold-over clutch. Instead of emulating the designers' penchant for vintage looks and art nouveau, ...

Beautiful gloss patent leather is shiny enough to see your reflection in in this Stuart Weitzman clutch.

A simple black bag is a necessity in any girl's wardrobe. It will go with anything, any outfit at all, and it will work equally for day or night. Much like that dress that you always ...

Giuseppe Zanotti generally goes for very expensive and very eccentric designs, yet this clutch is actually quite subtle! What a rarity!

OK, so the simple design may not have hardcore Zanotti fans in throes of excitement, but I actually prefer it. You can see the luxury quality of the materials this way, with smooth ...

The Bulga Panache hobo has a somewhat complicated design when you really take a look at it. There's quite a lot to take in when considering this designer handbag.

At first glance, it appears to be a classic hobo-shaped purse with interesting tiers of leather flaps adorning the exterior of the bag. Alas, it's not ...

We all know how much Carlos Falchi loves fashion's latest leather, ostrich skin, so it is no surprise that its box clutch is clad is that very same substance.

Whiting & Davis has been making classy metal mesh handbags for quite a while now, but the brand seems to be taking its signature look in a new direction as of late. I, for one, am enjoying the interesting designs that are coming out of the process.

Half stylish wallet, half compact clutch, this Coach Soho purse is a great combination of function and looks for the lady who lunches.

Fold-over bags are prized by bagistas who can't settle for just one look. Carry it by the cutout handles and you've got a conventional tote. Fold the top over and voila: it's a clutch. Now Emilio Pucci gives us his colorful take on the convertible trend.

A cross body bag comes in handy in so many situations, ...

In these troubling economic times, few of us have the money to really splurge on the big name designers. But Sarah Jessica Parker believes we shouldn't have to miss out on a little celebrity style. With her Bitten collection, the Sex & The City star has created handbags even ...
