Spiegel celebrates timeless good looks rather than trends with this Patent Clutch Bag.

This clutch makes a strong style statement with its clean lines and polished finish. The glossy treatment is a smart choice here. We've often complained that matte synthetics appear too glossy to ever pass as ...

I've always found Nine West's accessories a bit hit and miss, but when it gets things right the results are worth bargain hunters considering. Nine West shows the other labels how colorblocking should look with this Fair & Square ...

Bisadora promises us a design that's more fashion forward with this Runway Baby Belle.

Sadly though, this feels like more of the same from the label. It's not exactly a bad bag, but its name promised so much more flair. Instead the ...

Betsey Johnson hopes to win our hearts with this playful Be Mine Again satchel.

I don't expect she'll impress anyone who isn't already a fan though, as this bag doesn't stray too far from her traditional loud and proud approach. The bag's ...

Guess imitates luxury for girls on a budget with this Retro Croc Clutch. Sadly though, it's a pretty poor mimic.

That's hardly surprising for a Guess purse. Its crocodile scales seem like they're barely trying to emulate the reptilian skin. Its glossy surface might pass for ...

I'm always a sucker for bows on purses, and the cute size and shape of this particular example endear it to me even more.

OK, so bows are kind of overdone. You'll find them on everything, in every size conceivable, and brands are hard pressed ...

Wowsers, those are some blinding stripes! This is a handbag-meets-visual-illusion, and it manages to kind of work.

The Seersucker Vionette clutch steps away from Kate Spade's typical retro style. Don't get me wrong, this is still retro, but rather than paying homage to the quaint ...

Brown and black may be a controversial color combination, but on the One Stop tote it manages to work.

I think the success of this tote lies in the fact that, largely, it is just a simple black patent purse. The brown is only a detail, a contrasting trim ...

Bisadora reminds us that bean bags aren't only for sitting in with this quirky purse.

Looking at this patent leather bag, it's easy to see how it got its unusual name. Its retro curves make it look just like a kidney bean! It could have easily become a ...

Bring some feminine versatility into your life with the Berge Brezza tote.

Soft suede and slick leather are always a lovely combination in a handbag. And if the combination is assisted with cute shapes then the combo gets even better! This is exactly what happens in ...

Why have just one pattern or texture on a handbag, when you can have three of each?

The first texture is at the base of this Pietro Alessandro tote: that glossy patent leather. The shiny fabric also offers the first pattern, that fine snakeskin-esque print. The second pattern is a ...

Alexander Wang's new season of accessories is awesome. I really wasn't sure he could live up to the hype that the last few seasons created, but he definitely has. This Adele trunk clutch is another Wang It bag.

The combination of the rich taupe ...

Gucci seems to have taken inspiration from Louis Vuitton with this GG tote.

You must see what I mean; the colors and tones of this GG monogrammed purse resemble the designs of Gucci's famous competitor. The main difference (apart from the lettering, obviously!) is the choice ...

Carry your belongings with attitude with the spunkily named Gretarella clutch!

OK, so you may not assume that a little patent leather clutch would cost $539.99, what with the number of other similar patent purses on the market. So what makes this sparky little character ...

Get that saccharine ice cream parlour vibe with this cute tote from B. Makowski.

The Burbank tote is all about the colors. Blue and pink is more the kind of pairing you expect to see in a nursery, but ...

Wow what a color! The main selling point of this luxury tote from Studio Pollini is that dusky pink tone.

Aside from the color of that gently crinkled leather, what we have here is a simple but very large tote. The slouchiness gives it a flexibility that more rigid ...

Ally, meet our readers. Readers, meet Ally, a cute little patent wristlet from Hobo International.

Wristlets like this tend to double for wallets, and the Ally is no different. Sure she has a cute little detachable wrist-strap, but inside she is geared more to carrying your ...

Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most long-standing French fashion houses. It's definitely had its ups and downs over the years, but for the most part, the YSL name has remained relatively synonymous with chic glamor. This Y cork and leather clutch is ...

Everywhere I look Jack Rogers seems to be popping up at the moment. Luckily his dramatic signature stitching looks great, so so far I'm not fed up with seeing his designs!

The spacious shopper style of this handbag works perfectly with the chunky gray stitching. Granted, the ...

Isaac Mizrahi once again brings that certain "something" to his designs by mixing up the traditional dimensions of this Spazzalato tote.

This large mint green tote, you see, is a good few inches taller than you would normally expect. Despite the average sized handles, ...

Bebe brings pattern and texture together in this cute and affordable leopard print clutch.

A beautifully glossy patent can make the difference between a bag looking cheap and a bag looking luxurious. And, even if the bag costs just $19, a sheen like this will make it ...

Marc Jacobs has always been one of my favorite designers, but even I am totally blown away by this spectacular JJ clutch. It's something between a work of art and a fashion accessory, and a lot of beautiful in between.

There is so much awesome going on on ...

See by Chloe is one of my favorite diffusion lines. Unlike so many others, the quality is as high as that of the main collection, but it's a little bit trendier and flashier. This patent sequin tote is a fabulous way to carry your essentials.

There's something ...

It's not often that I say this about a diffusion line, but I definitely like MICHAEL more than I like the Michael Kors collection accessories. Honestly, they have a very similar aesthetic, but the MICHAEL line's prices are so much more reasonable that I automatically ...

Puma's iconic Special Satchel gets a cartoonish makeover with this fun Special Pop edition.

This purse looks like it might have been created by Andy Warhol or Roy Lichenstein with its bold lines and playful use of color. I love the trompe l'oeil of the red ...

I am willing to bet that you have never heard of a brand called Silverhooks. Well, this $22 clutch is bound to make you sit up and pay attention!

OK, so perhaps the fabrics of this purse aren't all that fancy. You have a geometrically quilted faux leather, in a ...

Most of the briefcases we've featured on Bag Bunch are luxurious creatures with European styling and Italian leather. It's easy to justify the splurge on a bag that will be by your side from nine to five, but what do you do if you're still sitting on ...

Iron Fist is definitely one of my favorite up-and-coming brands, and creations such as the Digi Skull clutch show me why.

Skull prints and sequins could look both passé and overly punk at the same time. However, in this black and silver purse we see both materials, and the end ...

Nancy Gonzalez is my kind of designer. She keeps her craftsmanship impeccable and local. The materials from her bags all come from her own farms in Colombia, where the bags themselves are handcrafted. She uses the most exotic skins, but keeps her prices reasonable. This long patent ...

Smart yet affordable clutches that easily make the transition from day to night; these are Prezzo's specialty!

For the daytime, this patent clutch is a smart and simple purse, jazzed up with a little touch of metallic snakeskin. It will fit demurely in with a smart business outfit, although ...

Make a big bang with the adorable patent Meredith clutch from Big Buddha.

With this wristlet, you don't just get the bright red patent faux leather. You don't just get the acordian style layered pleats. You don't just get the rippled layered flower. You get all of them! The end result ...

Suede and patent leather combinations are everywhere at the moment, and the Coined purse from Bodhi offers one of the most unusual colors of the bunch.

First you have that traditional tan suede, in a wonderful caramel camel shade that will work really well with the current fashion favorites. Then, gathering ...

OK, hands up. Who loves Bodhi handbags? I certainly do, as there isn't a Bodhi purse that I do not actively lust after. With their bold colors, unusual shapes and unbelievably luxurious high gloss sheen, they are unusual and stunning additions to the whole handbag industry.

OK, lusting over, what ...

Wow. This is quite a clutch. Ed Hardy has pulled out all the stops to make this dramatic and obvious synthetic leather purse.

With a bold red patent body, wavy and noticeable shape, and quirky tattoo styled applique decoration, this isn't going to be to everyone's ...

I've always admired Mad by Designs quirky accessories made with unusual materials like horn, mother of pearl, and eco-friendly bamboo. So I was a bit surprised to see this tote come from the same label.

Unlike so many of Mad by Designs accessories, this is a purse ...

Where once there was a hobo, now there is a tote. This is the latest edition in the Botkier Cooper range, and it brings that same rugged style to a much more work-friendly setting.

Whilst the hobo version of this leather bag is a little short, the larger tote means ...

Nancy  Gonzalez is a Colombian designer who has all her accessories handcrafted in her home country. Not only that, but she maintains her own exotic animal farms, which allows her a great deal of quality control over both the materials and craftsmanship of her line. The result of all this control is ...

Petit Et Beau has released two new handbags for mini fashionistas, which might just make grown-up girls jealous!

The first is the Red Rose Diamante Bag, which takes its style cues from French fashion house Valentino. The bright red fabric roses aren't as luxurious as the ones that donned the Valentino bags ...

Miu Miu is a fabulous line, but sometimes I find its work to be inconsistent. It usually stays right on the edge of trendiness, but sometimes it veers off into almost tasteless territory. I, for one, am seriously disappointed by the design of this patent leather turn-lock bag.

First of all, the pale ...

London Fog gives us the patent shine of a new pair of Mary Janes, along with all the polished poise, with this Audrey Tote bag.

That lovely sheen doesn't come from real patent leather though, and it probably should for the $150 price tag. But what London Fog misses out on in ...

This may well be the classiest design that I have seen from the creative designer Laura Matthews.

Patent leather always leans itself towards looking smart and work appropriate, especially when the shiny surface is smooth, sleek and uninterrupted by folds and wrinkles. The wallet-like fold-over design of this purse is consequently beautiful, and ...

Lux de Ville serves up a healthy dose of retro style with its Sin City shoulder bag.

It's not quite as naughty as its name suggests, but there's definitely a rebellious spirit about the bag's shiny black finish. It's not genuine patent leather, but this glossy vinyl does a pretty passable imitation. ...

Miu Miu's traditionally cutting edge aesthetic has gotten a lot more, well, traditional, lately. Don't worry, it still adds edgy little touches, but for the most part, its designs have been leaning towards the ladylike. This patent tote is a good example of where Miu Miu's style is headed.

The shininess of this ...

Santi is the king of decoration, but has it gone over the top with this complicated clutch bag?

I have to hold my hands up and admit that I am not a great fan of this clutch. It is just too much, too complex, there are too many layers of complication and decoration. ...

The latest edition to the Calvin Klein Rain range of bags is this neat and classic patent clutch.

Calvin Klein produces some of the best patent purses on the market, because the leather it uses has such a beautiful gloss. The texture of the leather in this particular fold-over clutch makes it ...

If you want a clutch that is both beautiful and affordable, then can I point you in the direction of J. Renee? The Tashia clutch is the latest in a long line of purses that don't break the bank but which are pretty without fail.

The combination of pink and patent red in ...

That nautical storm doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing. You'd better batten down the hatches in that case, because the fire engine red of this bright Maxx New York tote is bound to make the weather even worse.

Of course, all those terrible nautical metaphors are essentially just my way of saying ...

For a clutch that breaks away from the normal and the typical, Rampage is the design house to go to.

The Joelle clutch doesn't really look like many other clutches on the market. To start with, it is broken into two compartments, both of which are framed around the middle pocket. This is ...

Remember all the giant bows of the 80s? It seemed like they were everywhere; in hair, on bags, on belts. Well, I have been beginning to see a lot of them again lately, and I hugely prefer Chloe's sleek version on the Rodas to the variety found in mall kiosks.

The smooth matte ...

The time has come to buy a refreshing white bag for summer, and this Elaine Turner clutch is right on the money.

This patent white clutch looks more than a little Sex and The City, and I could imagine one of the SATC girls carrying it with a beautiful white maxi dress. A ...
