Get set for summer with this casual Bahama tote from Big Buddha.

I really like Big Buddha's relaxed treatment of this classic tote style. Quilting is typically reserved for luxurious leather, but Big Buddha gives the diamond treatment a more relaxed feel. The frayed canvas edges ...

Wear a bow in a different way with this Felix Rey clutch.

I am going to hold my hands up now and say that this cute quilted clutch, whilst perhaps a little overly sweet, is at the same time totally adorable. It isn't often ...

Ooh, quilting and art deco inspiration? This cute clutch has both, and as such I love it!

Lauren Merkin has really pushed her boundaries with the Iris clutch. It is totally different from anything she has done before, and it really works. OK, so some people ...

Vera Bradley's put her inimitable stamp onto the traditional kiss-lock clasp coin purse with this Double Kiss.

The Q.West accessories look oh so cute ...

Sara Berman creates the sort of purse you just want to reach out and touch with this Dylan Make-Up bag.

The Dylan is made from luxuriously supple sheepskin, which only appears softer in this weathered antique finish. Sara Berman also offers more traditional matte ...

Coral was THE big color of last season, but has rather been ignored in the current catwalks. It is a shame, as this color is unusual and dramatic, and actually this Gorjana clutch would work well with all the new trends.

Those trends include brocade, and other luxury themes. ...

All too often iPad cases are masculine and downright boring. Reveal has recognized that girls love the Apple gadgets too, and has created the Techxy Mobile Accessories Collection, a new line of iPad sleeves designed for these discerning fashionistas.

The Seattle based label has created ...

Luba J looks to inject a bit of edgy style into our evening wardrobes with this Lola evening bag.

She's not quite a showgirl, but this is a purse that demands to be gazed at. Purple is always a head-turning shade, but the crackled ...

When it comes to Lily Waters, we always know what we're going to get. She's like Vera Bradley's more outgoing sister, using quilted materials in delightfully clashing prints to create purses that are sweet and smart. With the Heather we see Lily Water turn her ...

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 ...

Chanel's black quilted bags are classic, but every now and then I long for something just a bit different. The French fashion house delivers with this red suede purse.

It has all of the classic Chanel elements, from the diamond quilted finish to the woven chain ...

The Marc by Marc Jacobs line has a way of making even the most utilitarian accessories colorful and fun. This leaf print laptop sleeve is a colorful and fashionable way to add a little fun to your laptop.

We've been seeing this abstract leaf print on ...

Sometimes the Marc by Marc Jacobs line is edgy and quirky, and sometimes it produces understated takes on the trends. This Party Foret is of the latter variety, and its take on modern design is pitch perfect and timeless.

The smooth black leather on the ...

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 ...

Miu Miu's line of Matelasse bags is one of my favorites of the season. Their undulating quilted design plays into the quilted leather trend that we've been seeing the past few seasons, but in a totally unique way. This Matelasse wallet is beautiful addition to the line, ...

Lily Waters stamps her trademark style onto this Betsy satchel.

The satchel reminded me of a weekender bag when I first spotted it, so I was surprised by its medium dimensions. You might be able to use it as an overnighter, but it's probably more appropriate ...

A handbag from Serpui Marie that isn't made of straw? Remarkable!

Yes, here we have the rare and fabled beast that is the Marcia tote, a contribution from the kings of raffia and straw that has, instead, opted for a thick and luxurious brown leather body.

Not to be outdone by the higher decoration of straw handbags, ...

Cheap and cheerful is the name of the game with this brilliantly affordable tote from Devon & Jones.

OK, so there is nothing fancy about this. It is a simple drawstring rucksack, perfect for carrying bits and pieces, and probably most ideally suited to toting sports kits and other such ...

While it looks like so many Vera Bradley bags, with ...

Lily Waters delivers a feminine take on the casual backpack with this Becky bag.

With its softly colored material and quilted finish, this is a great addition to the Lily Waters line. Its look is just what we'd expect from the brand, but its style is a bit ...

Lux de Ville offers its take on the nautical trend with this High Seas bag.

The biggest problem for me is that it doesn't feel that the brand's tried very hard. The only things that give this bag a maritime feel are ...

I thought I knew exactly what to expect from a Vera Bradley purse: patterned materials embellished with diamond quilting that look just a little bit old fashioned. But it seems I was wrong. This Meet Me in Paris wallet ...

I've kept a close eye on DKNY, lately. Perhaps it's because the economy is so bad, and the prices of some of the more haute designer lines seem inaccessible. But also because I feel the line is transforming itself into a design house that can be depended on ...

J. Furmani is the undisputed expert on all handbags puffed, quilted and otherwise enhanced by layers of affordable  texture. This puffed satin evening bag is the oddest pattern I have seen him do, but it definitely still fits in with the theme.

If you ignore the fact ...

When I think of Paul Smith I think of stripes of swirling color and quirky style. That may be why I find this very conservative Trixie bag from the British designer a bit flat.

There's a place in every wardrobe for a classic handbag, but I'm not sure ...

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 ...

If you enjoy the homespun charms of Vera Bradley feast your eyes on this Shelby shoulder bag from Lily Waters.

The Shelby clearly takes its cues from Vera Bradley's famous fabric handbags, but I think it's even lovelier. The patterned fabrics clash delightfully, creating a look which is ...

Here we have another luxurious handbag from designer Serpui Marie, and it is a cracker!

I am mentally building potential outfits for this clutch as we speak. After all, just image how sexy this quilted camel colored snakeskin would look when teamed with those Chloé long camel trousers, or with some beige lace ...

Quilting always runs the risk of looking fuddy duddy and old fashioned. However, in the Bedford Street Noel collection Kate Spade has managed to update the look.

The modern style features different shapes which make the soft and luxurious looking quilting, mainly circles and funny curved squares (look at the picture, you'll see ...

It's all about classic style with this Kira hobo from Hayden-Harnett.

The bag shuns the hobo's bohemian reputation for something much sleeker and more sophisticated. From the soft pebbled black leather to the large geometric quilting, this is a purse for all seasons. It's modern, yet traditional enough to easily blend into ...

Franchi reminds us that opulence doesn't always been excess with this Queenie Clutch.

With its regal name you might expect the Queenie to be dripping in jewels. But instead it relies on understated style to make an impact. There are gems, but rather than large faceted jewels we instead see tiny crystals ...

Dolce & Gabbana can keep as glamorous while we're on the go with this quilted Lily Glam bag.

This is a simple purse, but the devil's in the details. The squishy barrel shape and long leather tassel make the Lily look relaxed and casually cool. But it gets an injection of sophistication ...

I don't really think that the words "elegant" and "tote" go together that often. This is partially because a lot of bags that are called totes aren't really totes and a lot of bags that are described as elegant aren't actually elegant. This Cabeceo is definitely both.

The black quilted suede is soft ...

This Nicole Miller evening bag deserves recognition for daring to look different to all the other clutches out there.

Unlike many of the more unique handbags, the Jolie clutch still manages to be pretty formal. Instead of going over-the-top, the designer has concentrated her efforts on finding a way to make quilting and ...

Downsize your accessories while maintaining your sense of style with this quilted patent wristlet from Chanel.

It may be small, but this Chanel purse has most of the hallmarks of the iconic French brand. There's the chic flap, the engraved turn-lock, and that glossy diamond quilted patent leather. All that is omitted ...

We can always count on Bodhi to deliver an accessory that will turn heads. This Oval Box Handbag is another example of the brand's commitment to original style.

There's something decidedly retro about this structured handbag. The unique oval shape is made from classic quilted leather. This striking skin contrasts with the ...

I have news for everyone. Backpacks aren't just for students and athletic gear isn't just for athletes. Backpacks are an amazingly convenient solution to a lot of urbanite's problems. They let you carry most of your life around without being weighed down on one side. And Stella McCartney's designs for Adidas have ...

I'm telling y'all, gray is the new nude, which was the new black last season. Seriously, two out of two of the bags I've written about today are gray, and they weren't the only bags I had to choose from either. I am loving this new color trend, and I ...

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.

If you love Hello Kitty, then chances are you will love this fun little shoulder bag.

Lily Waters takes over where Vera Bradley left off with this cute Jodie Tote bag.

Just like Bradley, Lily Waters loves nothing better than a colorful patterned and quilted fabric. But where Bradley prefers to use just one pattern in each design, Lily Waters' accessories are more experimental.

She enjoys the clash of ...

Bebe has unlisted an unlikely designer for its latest handbag: a teenager suffering from a brain tumor from Kentucky.

14-year-old Abigail Gebauer designed The Abigail handbag after making an appeal to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Abbie worked with Bebe designers to create the purple quilted purse which bears her name. The fashion ...

DKNY's designs this season have been extremely inconsistent. Some of its bags have been elegant and affordable, but others have been overstylized and hyper trendy. I'm afraid this studded leather shoulder bag falls into the latter category.

The brown leather material of this bag may be of good quality, but it's really hard ...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Vera Bradley's Super Tote!

All jokes aside, this is one mighty tote. It's super sized and super well appointed, with interior and exterior pockets to spare. That's a good thing too, because such a roomy handbag takes a lot of effort to ...

For many people the idea of a quilted floral tote is simply too chintzy and quaint to bear. However, I think totes like this Isla edition by Lily Waters could actually look stunning if worn in the right way.

How should you wear this? Well, the floral pattern lends itself nicely to the ...

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. ...

If you're looking for an affordable alternative to Chanel's classic quilted flap purses, feast your eyes on the Bea bag from Big Buddha.

Of course, for $80 you'll never find the same level of luxury that Chanel offers. But the looks of this quilted nylon alternative definitely take their cues from the ...

I have been a little disappointed with DKNY's accessories line lately. The bags have been, for the most part, over-designed and unreasonably priced. But this quilted leather tote is a lot more simple than the label's recent pieces, and I really like its quiet chic.

The black leather is quilted into a minimal ...
