I've only known of Alla Leather Art for a short time, but already the handbag label has become one of my favorites. Purses like this Scherzo shoulder bag are precisely the reason why.

At $289 this is a relatively affordable handbag by ...

A luxury leather clutch with boho style? The Jack Rogers La Boheme purse is just that.

The clue was in the name, I suppose. La Boheme conjures images of a decadent kind of bohemianism, and that is exactly the impression that this fold-over clutch gives. The clever ridged ...

Looking every bit as cute as its name suggests, meet the Cammy hobo from Big Buddha.

Hobo bags tend to be bohemian affairs, but this one is much more feminine. The white synthetic works well with the dainty curlicue stitching. And isn't that soft ruffled flap ...

Who says you need to leave the waves behind now the weather's cooled? Jessica Jensen allows us to hang on to summer with this fall-ready Wave Tote.

Joe's Jeans dresses up the traditional messenger bag with the ever-so-chic Samantha.

What sets this messenger apart is its clever styling. The traditional flap design can look a little sloppy, so Joe's Jeans opts instead for a sunken zipper. Its traditionally toned pebble leather finish is made a bit more exciting with ...

We have seen the Audrey clutch, with its functional and simple design, and now we are introduced to the wallet version.

I have to admit that I prefer the wallet. The clutch looks boring, whereas the wallet looks cute yet serious. This isn't a cutesy purse or teeny little bag, but an ...

When it comes to Mellow World, I never know quite what we're going to get. This Trapunto Satchel is another unexpected accessory from this always surprising budget line.

B. Makowsky dresses up the typical hobo with this Dakar bag.

This versatile bag has only a hint of the slouch we've come to expect from a hobo. The secret is the front panel which is adorned with vertical stitching. This panel creates a structured finish which is complemented by the satiny ...

It might be inspired by the King of Rock and Roll, but this gorgeous Presley satchel is more straight-laced handbag than hip swiveling rebel!

Kooba combines classic good looks with a dash of modern style for this Millie shoulder bag.

At first glance, this Kooba bag doesn't appear too different from a million others you'd see in the fashion mags. The glazed leather is lovely to be sure, but it's not very unique. But look closer ...

Not as confusing as its moniker suggests, the Rubick's Purse from Phillip Lim is on snappy little number.

Black calfskin leather is timeless, but look a little closer and you'll find a tote that easily marries classic and contemporary design. V-shaped stitching adds interest without overwhelming the design. It's a modern look, ...

Traditionally slouchy and boho chic, the Marci hobo from Chloe bucks the trend with some equestrian flair.

The preppy riding school feel comes from the large horseshoe shapes stitched into the front of the Marci. The curves accentuate the bag's lovely lines, and might just bring a little luck your way! The ...
