Military style meets practicality with this modern Tribeca Tote from Tusk. I can definitely imagine New York's hippest young things carrying this contemporary handbag!

The Tribeca's looks are simple, but that's exactly what I like about it. The clean design allows the gentle natural grain of the lush lambskin to take the ...

It might seem a little reserved by Bodhi's standards, but this Tear Drop Sling Bag has plenty of personality.

This is a real head-turner, from the distinctive tear drop shape to the vivid color palette. You can choose from blue, orange, or this summery yellow shade. No tone is particular subtle, but ...

Treesje dresses up the current taste for studs with this Studded Exposed Hobo.

Tiny studs are the supporting players here, quietly complementing the leather's lush seamed texture. This is a gorgeous surface, with the seams mimicking diagonal pleats. They are then offset by subtle stitching running in the opposite direction. From a ...

We've seen many handbags built on structured frames, but I've never seen anything that looks quite like this Bodhi satchel!

While most designers try to keep the frame hidden or show just a hint of metal edge, Bodhi makes it the feature. A soft leather pipe frame extends right around the edge ...

The details on this Botkier bag are subtle and not nearly as flashy as some styles available today. Devoid of fringe and studs that even many other Botkier handbags have, the Angie satchel is understated but not too simple in design and definitely not boring.

I wouldn't call the Angie particularly exciting, but it ...

Combining individual style and practicality, Michael Kors strikes the right note with its Prescott hobo.

While the lush lambskin ensures this bag slouches as any traditional hobo should, the styling is far from classic. The difference comes from the four pockets positioned around the middle, which are cinched in with a drawstring ...

Botkier bags offer some real handbag luxury in every incarnation.

Its bags may not be obvious or dramatic, but instead the brand focuses on the things that really matter for a purse that you intend to use every day. This sexy, yet suitable, everyday hobo gives you attractive looks combined with luxury Italian ...

Alexis Hudson plays it straight with the Bohem hobo. This is a return to the roots of the style, with its characteristic slouch and easy breezy spirit.

This is every inch the classic hobo, which is just what I like about it. Contemporary hobos have turned the design on its head, so ...

It's officially called a clutch, but this Laura Matthews Designs bag appears much more like a mini tote to me!

Names aside, this lambskin purse is a nice alternative to those ridiculously tiny clutches we're used to carrying. It comes with space for party essentials and then some, and the leather handle ...

While many clutch purses are strictly after five affairs, the contemporary good looks of Treesje's Metro make it just as appropriate for daytime toting.

Complementary stitching around the borders of the purse and its flap add definition to the buttery soft lambskin. The sexy angular pleating in the centre adds even more ...

It seems like every handbag brand has its take on the woven trend. But they don't all have to cost the prices of a Bottega Venetta. At $430, Linea Pelle's Juliana represents great value.

The price might not be exactly cheap and cheerful, but it's entirely reasonable for a woven purse crafted ...

It sounds like a frothy concoction, but the Bubbles minaudiere from Inge Christopher is actually a sleek and chic clutch.

The misleading moniker comes from the champagne toned lambskin finish, which is every bit as luxurious as it sounds. The slightly shimmery skin is complemented by gleaming gold-toned hardware. With its structured ...

Ruffled detail isn't something I'm accustomed to seeing on a design from the typically edgy and trendy brand Treesje. So this Divino shoulder bag with its use of the feminine accent definitely caught my eye.

The way that the tiny ruffles are added to the edges of the front and back zippered pockets as well ...

The Lady Dior line may grab all the headlines, but for something a little different I'd opt for this Karenina Tote.

The lush aged lambskin falls in intricate pleats down the length of the bag. The leather is lovely, but that super-ruched appearance is sure to divide fashion fans. I suppose ...

The Marina Bowler from Charles David combines chic styling with undeniable luxury.

Calf leather is all well and good, but if you want that totally touchable, buttery soft surface, it needs to be lambskin. A framed panel with contemporary diagonal pleats jazzes up this classic dome shaped bowler. What a shame we ...

Gossip Girl and Mercy star Michelle Trachtenberg has teamed up with luxury label Botkier to create this sexy blue satchel. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the Michelle will benefit Oxfam International, a charity which helps the world's poorest.

The subtle slouch comes from the buttery soft ...

Ever since Alber Elbaz took over at Lanvin, the label has been getting a lot of attention. It is one of the oldest couture houses in Paris, of course, but the way he has revitalized the brand really speaks to modern women.

This feminine shoulder bag has a classic shape and a few ...

Jessica Jensen has given a lift to the traditional tote with the Patience.

The geometric, flared shape is classic tote, designed for sophistication and everyday elegance. But Jessica Jensen couldn't let this bag blend into the background, so she's added rows and rows of tiny wooden beads to the front panel. From ...

I'm a sucker for Treesje handbags and tend to love nearly anything from the label. Although I'm used to seeing more of a contemporary edge to its styles, this Mason Cross-Body surprised me with its stylish ruggedness.

The washed Italian lambskin material gives the appearance of being worn-in through use. However, it manages to avoid ...

Chances are you didn't win the Alyssa Tote that Purse Blog gave away earlier this spring before the bag was available to purchase. Someone out there was lucky enough to walk away with the prize, but at least the rest of us can now consider buying one of our own.

I honestly ...

Nothing says summer like a woven tote. And nothing says luxury like patent lambskin. Put them together and you have this delicious Dior Patent Lambskin Woven Tote. Can't you just imagine stowing your cover-ups and SPFs in this babe of a bag? I know I can.

When it comes to details, Betsey Johnson seems to tend toward the idea of the more, the merrier. The designer's handbags are always meant to stand out in a crowd and make a bold statement.

This Tie-Breaker Flap Tote does just that with its abundance of embellishments and bold color choices. Though ...

This Vixen bag reminds me so much of the the Bianca satchel that I knew right away it must be Botkier. Though it is slightly reminiscent of the Treesje Asher as well, it definitely has a look that is much more similar to the Bianca.

The front ruched pocket is what ...

On the heels of a colorful fashion week, a brown leather handbag seems a bit simple. Despite a lack of this season's vibrant colors, any gal will admit that it's just one of those great basics that can pull an outfit together when you're not feeling creative.

The Linea Pelle Danielle is ...

Botkier always has a slightly different take on handbags. Regular, almost predictable, styles are given some type of detail that makes them stand out. The designer has used buckles, fringe, and texture to make bags like the Morgan and Sasha unique.

The Bianca Satchel is another example of typical bag gone edgy. However, I'm ...

Phillip Lim is known for producing minimalist objects with subtle and discrete charms, and the Tally tote certainly won't disappoint his biggest fans. Although at 15" x 18.5", the bag is big enough to be used as an overnighter, its generous size doesn't keep it from fitting right in with the rest ...

Since 1981, Linea Pelle has been handcrafting high quality leather accessories. They use washed Italian leathers, which give them a unique worn-in look and feel.
