Marc Jacobs Eugenie bags haven't exactly been some of my favorites. They have sort of a baroque charm that just doesn't appeal to me, personally. But this classic black quilted version is really ideal.

What can I say about quilted black leather that hasn't already been said? Nothing, ...

Lanvin has been making serious waves the past few seasons. It almost seems like it can do no wrong on the fashion front. The accessories line is the perfect balance of classic and cutting edge, and the Trousee is the perfect example of its aesthetic.

The combination ...

Lanvin's Happy line is as classic and beautiful as they come. I've always been a fan of its signature feminine chic look. This new Happy Medium adds quilting in to the mix in a new way and the results are subtle and beautiful.

The pale taupe color ...

The MICHAEL line has been a little up and down, lately, but this Hamilton tote has a solidly classic aesthetic that's really working. It also has a few urban touches that keep it looking contemporary.

The taupe color of the leather is great. Sometimes neutral equals boring, ...

Lanvin is the oldest couture house in Paris. Yes, older than Chanel. So, it has a lot of experience putting out clean-looking classics. I am so excited about its new Voyage luggage line that I might actually be drooling.

The leather on the Voyage rolling bag is super soft, ...

Marc Jacobs personifies American chic. Seriously, this man is the patron saint of fashion design American-style. This oddly named Baroque Single Saffron bag is a great example of how Jacobs makes women all over the world love the red, white, and blue.

The silver on the ...

There have been a ton of quilted leather bags on the market in the past few seasons. It's a classic look that was revamped in the 1990s, so today it looks a little retro. This Hamilton shoulder bag by MICHAEL Michael Kors is a great ...

Lanvin's Amalia line is a great combination of traditional and contemporary. But that's what's so great about Lanvin, isn't it? It always seem to have one finger on the pulse of fashion and the other on its fabulous past. This Trousee version of the Amalia is ...

Lanvin always seems to strike a pitch perfect balance between elegant timelessness and cutting edge design. The Happicolo is way more classic than it is cutting edge, but it is fabulously beautiful, nonetheless.

The complexly quilted black leather on the Happicolo is trademark Lanvin. It has a cross-hatched ...

After reviewing the sickly sweet pink Matelasse zipper clutch earlier in the week, I was really beginning to lose faith in Miu Miu, again. The line is unreliable, to be sure, but for the most part, the Matelasse bags are fabulous. This edgy black leather ...

I'm a big fan of Miu Miu's line of Matelasse bags. In fact, they're some of my favorite bags of the season. Unfortunately, this particular version is a little too cute and pink for a high end designer bag.

The color is the first thing that went wrong ...

Don't you hate it when one of your favorite designers makes choices you just can't understand? Well, that's how I feel about this Cosmo quilted shoulder bag. I love Marc Jacobs, but I just don't know where he's going with this style.

I guess it's ...

Miu Miu's Matelasse bags are the best designed accessories the label's put out in seasons. Thankfully, there's a whole series of them, because the rest of Miu Miu's offerings have been lackluster, over-the-top, or a bizarre combination of both. This Matelasse clutch is a spot-on bit of glamour ...

Lanvin's line of Amalia bags are iconic and classic, and, personally, I think this is the best of the lot. It manages to look terribly sophisticated and still be totally practical at the same time.

The black leather on the Amalia has a softly wrinkled and quilted texture. ...

Marc Jacobs line of Single bags recall some of fashion's favorite accessories from years past. They combine some of the flashiness of the 90s with the refinement of the 1940s, and they do so in a beautifully cohesive way. This small version of the Single is ...

Finally a DKNY design that I can totally get behind. A lot of its pieces this season have just been so trendy or plain that I was starting to lose hope. But this quilted leather messenger bag is a fabulous accessory at a fabulous price.

The quilted black leather ...

Lanvin is always surprising me. Right when I think it's given up its cutting edge, it comes out with a bag like the Happy Pop. This gorgeous number strikes a fabulous balance between edgy and sophisticated.

The quilting on the black leather isn't your average Upper East side fare. It has a distinctly ...

Anya Hindmarch's urban, feminine designs are quickly becoming fashionista's favorites. She interprets the trends in classic, wearable ways that women love. This Fergus stitched leather satchel is a great example.

The stitch detail on the black leather material of this bag gives it a quilted, or embossed, look. Most of the pattern is ...

DKNY has been making high-quality, low-priced versions of upper end designer staples for years. It usually has a good bead on what the current trends are and interprets them in a stylish, wearable way. This cross-body bag brings a lot of current trends together.

Cross-body bags are making a major comeback. The late ...

There's nothing more iconic than Burberry's signature check. Which is why a lot of people are surprised when they see Burberry items without it. But, in reality, a lot of the line's less signature looks are among its most sophisticated.

This quilted leather hobo is an elegant addition to Burberry's collection. The smooth ...

DKNY is known for bringing designer trends to a wider public. It gives us  budget-conscious fashionistas a high quality range of pieces. But sometimes it interprets high fashion trends in ways that don't exactly translate. This quilted leather bag is a good example of a DKNY failure.

This bag is just trying too ...

Sometimes I just have to laugh at Betsey Johnson's quirky but fun handbag names like Party Hearty and Made In The Fade. I'll admit that I was expecting something completely different when I ran across the name of this Whips & Studs Clutch, but the actual handbag turned out to be ...

I love the way Marc Jacobs interprets trends, old and new, and then reinvigorates them in modern downtown designs. Bags like this perfect pony skin bag are just what I'm talking about.

There has been a major rush lately for quilted bags. All those Chanel caviar bags have been making a comeback in ...

Lanvin is known for creating sophisticated, feminine, heirloom-quality garments, and its accessories line lives up to its reputation. The Amalia combines classic elements with a modern design perspective to create a bag that is gorgeous and versatile.

This bag harkens back to the popularity of the Chanel caviar bags of the early 90's. ...

Looking for Chanel style without the outrageous price tag? The Miu Miu Chevron purse is an excellent option for designer fashionistas who want the classic look at a more reasonable price.

Delicate pink leather patchwork pieces on the Chevron bag contrast with the chunky chain handles. Though they catch the eye, the double ...

Any fan of designer handbags can spot a Chloe from a mile away. The designer's unique shapes and styles set these bags apart from the rest. Often sported by celebrities and endlessly copied by knock-off artists, a Chloe handbag is a sure thing when it comes to fashionable accessories.

The Heloise bag ...
