See By Chloe is usually one of my favorite lower priced designer lines, but not this season. The Chloe collection has been looking great, but See seems to be suffering from a serious lack of creativity. This Carmen tweed satchel is uninspiring and just plain boring.

Houndstooth is ...

I'm not quite sure when it happened, but it seems these days I'm spending more time admiring Juicy Couture accessories than loathing them. I'm sure it was somewhere around the time that the label discovered there was more materials in this world than velour. Either ...

The Jesse B. Collection takes a break from its traditional frame clutches to create this casual Morgan carpet bag.

Its dimensions may be a bit of a departure for The Jesse B. Collection but all the hallmarks of the brand ...

Nicole Lee seems to have set out to silence anyone who thinks the combination of black and white is boring. This Houndstooth shopper is so far from ordinary, I barely know what to make of it!

From a fairly traditional base Nicole Lee seems determined to ...

Oh, I love this bag. The houndstooth and the red patent leather make it the ideal handbag for winter.

Forget light summery colors and breezy materials; what we need for the cold weather are heavy fabrics and warm textures. The gorgeous patterned houndstooth herringbone is ideal for cold damp ...

Pink Studio has packed all the vintage style of the hit advertising drama Mad Men into this stylish Larissa clutch.

Some might call it drab, but after seeing so many colorful Pink Studio designs I'm happy for something a little more conservative. The look of black houndstooth checks ...

I don't know what it is with houndstooth, lately, but I've been seeing a lot of it. Marc Jacobs, of course, is known for using it, but it seems like it's really making a major appearance in accessories. Take, for example, this Trophe calf hair bag by Christian Louboutin, which uses the ...

I probably don't need to reiterate how much I love Marc Jacobs. His version of American fashion is iconic. But this season's accessories have been a little so-so as far as I'm concerned. The 2010 Rockstar clutch is a pretty good example of how the line is frustrating me.

Firstly, naming the bag ...

Tommy Hilfiger goes smart yet casual with this Logo Items tote.

The smart elements of this everyday bag are obvious. The TH signature fabric resembles a conservative twist on houndstooth, whilst the patent leather top adds some sophisticated flair. Finally the muted color palette and metallic panel complete the classy effect.

On top of ...

Ralph Lauren combines casual cool and British charm to create this chic Houndstooth Hobo.

The fabric finish gives this bag a relaxed style, but it's a little different to the boho vibe we associate with hobos. The shape's a lot more structured, and that houndstooth print creates a preppy private school feel. ...

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 ...

This bold Harveys bag is just brimming with personality. It's made entirely from car seatbelts which have been woven together to create a bag with a style all its own.

Open the zipper closure and you'll be dazzled by the spacious interior. There's plenty of room in here for the bits and pieces you need to ...
