Lindsay Lohan and Kristin Cavallari help set the trends in Hollywood, but you don't need their bulging bank accounts to steal their style. These starlets both love this Splendor Satchel from Moni Moni.

I'm not sure the Splendor is quite as magnificent as its name suggests, ...

Kooba knows that not every girl wants to carry a bag covered in frills and bows, so it serves up something much simpler with the Brayden.

While I don't mind the occasional bit of frippery, I prefer something much cleaner on an everyday basis. The Brayden ...

Hilary Radley combines mod fashion with some contemporary flair with this Jude satchel.

Grommets are right on trend, but when they're made as large as this they get a fun sixties feel. I love the clean way the belt accent threads through the metal hardware, and ...

Ordinarily I shy away from Guess' trend conscious approach to design, yet there's something about the Gibraltar satchel that I just can't resist.

All of the major hardware trends are represented here: studs, grommets, and angular zippered pockets. It could have easily appeared too much, but I'm glimpsing ...

Eenamaria abandons its usual mod aesthetic for something more modern with this Glided Lilly hobo. But I wonder whether the label has lost its individuality by running with the pack.

The keys here are restraint and originality. Rather than covering the purse in metal, Calvin Klein gives us ...

I hope you like grommets, because Kooba has overdosed on the edgy metal hardware when creating the Sam clutch.

I like grommets as an unexpected alternative to studs, but I think Kooba takes the look too far here. Rather than using the metal to add interest, it's the star here. Personally ...

We've all admired the modern accessories from Gustto, but now it's time to turn our attentions to the label's little sister line, Miss Gustto.

Its name suggests that the styling is geared towards the teen market, but I think Miss Gustto is every bit as grownup as the original collection. If this ...

The smooth taupe leather is great for summer ensembles, ...

Chinese Laundry adds some modern style to the traditional hobo bag with the Dolly.

Rebecca Minkoff overdoses on eyelets with the Eyelet Mab Mini Satchel. There are literally hundreds of the gleaming grommets adorning panels along the top and sides of the bag.

I'm not sure how timeless this look will be, but for now I think it makes an interesting alternative to studs. Studs might ...

Hype shows us that wearing a cross-body bag doesn't mean you have to downsize with the Janice.

I should admit from the beginning that I have mixed feelings about this bag. Mixed, but not necessarily unreconciled. It has so many things to love; studs, red leather, grommets, you name it, but I wonder if it might be too much.

The bucket shape is so retrolicious that it sort of saves ...

When you're shopping for a decently sized handbag around the $100 mark, finding one made from genuine leather is beginning to be a rarity. There are a few exceptions to that, of course, but brands are mostly sticking to synthetics for that price range.

Though a little disappointing, I suppose it's not entirely ...

Well, I'm back to grommets again. The classy Bulga Cava Tote must have gotten me on a kick for them. There's something so interesting yet casual about the detail that makes it a great addition to a handbag.

This is not the first time that Cole Haan has used grommets on a ...

Jimmy Choo gives the hobo a little rock and roll edge with the Rania.

The punk attitude comes from two rows of gleaming grommets that embellish the top of the bag. They've become somewhat of a Jimmy Choo trademark, utilized in iconic bags like the Ramona, Riki, and Rio. ...
