Bulgari has such a way with materials that it can make even a drawstring handbag seem elegant. This Monete Shoulder Bag is a delicious case in point.

It's strange that I'm so drawn to this shoulder bag because it's everything that I ordinarily hate. I tend ...

I've always sort of liked Chloe's Elsie line, but the material choices haven't been particularly versatile. This new nude update is on trend, colorwise, but totally classic.

Nude is a color we've been seeing a lot of, lately. It's kind of the new black. Or maybe the new white? ...

Aldo has an uncanny knack for interpreting modern trends for less. With this Goetter, the budget fashion house takes on nudes.

I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of a nude color palette. It's very now, but the shades always seem a bit washed out and boring ...

Mariacarla Boscono is the latest star to bare all for a fashion commercial. The stunning Italian model stripped down for Loewe's fall/winter 2011 advertising campaign, posing with only Flamenco bags covering her bits.

Boscono was photographed at Madrid's historic Ritz Hotel, a ...

Miu Miu is one of those lines that I approach dubiously, and bags like this are the reason why. While some of its design elements might have seemed interesting a few years ago, today it looks dated and somewhat ridiculous.

The nude patent leather is almost a good ...

The European beauty, who shot to fame with her swimwear shoots for Sports Illustrated, poses here carrying one of the label's large handbags and a shorter than short ...

Anya Hindmarch is really coming into her own as a designer. She's developing a posh urban aesthetic that is feminine and modern. This Coburn tote is a great, and very sporty, addition to the line.

Two-tone bags are all the rage this season. I'm not exactly sure why, ...

The Jimmy Choo label is the unofficial prince of posh urban style. It has sort of a pared down bohemian aesthetic that works well for more conservative women. This Rosalie bag, unfortunately, looks too much like the iconic Hermes Birkin for me to think it's very interesting.

The ...

AnnaLynne McCord is the latest celebrity to shed her clothes for a fashion advertisement. This ad for Marc Ecko isn't quite as racy as January Jones' for Versace, or Julianne Moore's for Bulgari, but the 90210 star still looks ...

Rampage bring chains back in fashion with this Victoria clutch.

In case you hadn't noticed, lace is everywhere this season. From our shoes to our clothes, it is the coolest fabric at the moment. Rampage has released its take on the theme with this cute nude purse, ...

Valentino's accessory designers, who took over the line after his death, have demonstrated some questionable taste the past few seasons. Sometimes their work has been amazing, and sometimes a total lackluster disappointment. Unfortunately, I think that this raffia and lace tote falls into the latter category.

I guess I ...

Chloe is one of those lines that makes trends happen. Its feminine, future-centric sense of design is admired, but not easily replicated. This new take on the Pure Paddington is ultra-smooth and ultra-chic.

The pale nude leather on this Paddington is classic, but also totally current. The clean lines ...

January Jones has shed her good girl image, and her clothes along with it, for Versace's newest advertising campaign.

The Mad Men actress poses wearing nothing but Versace accessories in the sensual black and white photos. She's so magnetic, which is a good thing ...

Valentino's been the king of chic Italian design for decades, and while the line has suffered ups and downs since his retirement, it seems to be on the upswing. This studded leather bag is a fabulous example of Valentino's classy take on edgy downtown style.

The pale nude color of ...

When I think of red carpets, Valentino is the designer that comes to mind. When I think of Italian fashion, Valentino is the designer that comes to mind. Valentino's understated elegance has made him into an icon, and his line into a fashion powerhouse. This Aphrodite tote is a great ...

Jimmy Choo's new designs are making waves. Literally. The line's new wave-textured bags are extraordinarily innovative and beautiful. This Alba Tote is a fabulous new addition to Jimmy Choo's repertoire.

I'm crazy for the tan color of the Alba. It's something between light brown and a pinkish nude, ...

Alexander McQueen's series of Knuckle Duster clutches is one of my favorite in the line. These clutches are one part brass knuckles, one part elegant clutch, and all badass edgy attitude. This lace version is sugar meets spice in an explosion of rock-n-roll.

There's nothing ...

Some people may say that the delicate lace and gentle nude coloring is too last season. However, I maintain that the Brussels evening bag from Inge Christopher can actually work really well with this A/W's catwalk of leather and sheepskin.

You see, there is nothing prettier than a delicate girlie fabric ...

The late 90s obsession with layering is definitely making a comeback. Earlier today I reviewed a leather Jimmy Choo clutch overlaid with beaded crochet, and now here comes this gorgeous bit of satin and lace. If this is an incoming trend, consider me on board.

Louboutin has found a way to ...

I know that if you don't have anything nice to say that it's better to say nothing at all, but I just can't hold my tongue in this situation. The design of this version of the Single is so bizarre, I really can't figure out what Mr. Jacobs was thinking.

The combination of ...

Nude is the new white. In the past few seasons no other color has been as dominant, except, of course, black. But this shade of neutral is coming to us, not in the conservative styles that we might expect, but in cutting edge classics like this gorgeous Faithful De-Manta tote by Alexander ...

Lindsay Lohan has dismissed rumors that she'll bare all to advertise her 6126 handbag collection.

The idea did seem a little far fetched considering that Lindsay must wear a SCRAM ankle bracelet to monitor her alcohol consumption at all times. However quotes from insiders stating they were hopeful the ...

Valentino is one of the most iconic and admired designers of the twentieth century. His level of taste and attention to detail are basically beyond reproach. When he retired, a lot of people felt like the line was never going to be the same. Looking at bags like this, I think ...

Since the 1950s, Emilio Pucci has  made iconic pieces that cutting edge fashionistas the world over love. His print dresses epitomized a generation, but that has never stopped the line from moving forward into the future. This fringed leather bag is the perfect balance of old school style and future-thinking flavor.

I'll be ...

Big Buddha has an eclectic range of designs, and this studded hobo is its on-trend contribution to this season's looks.

If you haven't heard, nudes and pinks are in. The world is a-buzz about gently feminine shades, soft slouchy fabrics, and plenty of ruffles. You only need to look at red carpet events and ...

Expect to see a lot more of these shaped J. Renee clutches on the market, as this seems to be the label's favorite design for spring.

Aside from the color, therefore, what sets each of these bags apart from each other? Well, the answer lies in the individual decoration mounting the front of each ...

French model turned First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is suing fashion label Pardon for distributing tote bags featuring her naked image.
