Prezzo is channeling an eighties vibe with this colorful stripy hobo.

Whilst the shape of this particular purse may actually hark back to sixties cut out handle designs, there is no denying the incredibly raving eighties inspiration going on here. Not only are the multicolored stripes leaning in that direction, but so are ...

Sometimes Aldo's bags are stylish, and sometimes they are less so. The ridiculously affordable Savigliano clutch, however, is one of the most stylish Aldo bags I have seen so far!

I think it is the purple shade that makes it quite so pretty. That and the shiny patent exterior, and the geometric and ...

Diesel helps you get ready for summer with this Beach Bum Palm Tote.

The nautical blue and white striped canvas body is given a modern feel with a bold graphic print. I'm not sure what I make of this cheeky blue-faced character, but I'm sure someone will love its original style.

There's no ...

The Chat'em might not be the conversation starter its name predicts, but there's still a certain charm about this Kavu tote. It signals a change in the direction for the brand better known for its hiking accessories. You don't need an appreciation of the great outdoors to find a place for ...

J. Tiras tends to create evening purses are the belles of the ball, from beautiful crystal covered minaudieres to sleek satin clutches. The fashion house goes in a slightly different direction with the Noel.

This is a much more modern affair, from its stipple patterned leather body to its bold racing stripe ...

Add a little color to your everyday wardrobe with this bold Laguna Top Zip Handbag from Mywalit.

The vivid colors of this Laguna purse make it a real standout. The rich purple leather body is an almost mellow background for the bright stripes of colored suede. Teal, orange, lime green, and pink ...

Carry your belongings around with this funky-handled purse from sporty brand Diesel.

OK, let's start with the obvious. The name. This Diesel handbag is called, eloquently, the Strip Club bag. I get the pun, of course, but I have to say that the name strikes me as slightly odd and even a bit tasteless! ...

Serpui Marie delivers a pint sized dose of personality with this Clementine Bag.

There's something so striking about the combination of deep green suede and glossy black patent stripes. It's not a color combination we often see, and I'm glad Serpui Marie took a risk.

It's built like a satchel, but this is ...

Kavu puts function, and the environment, first with its Decatur tote.

Classic colored stripes help to jazz up this fabric bag, which is made from an eco-friendly blend of cotton and hemp. The Decatur is also available in a range of more abstract prints, although these totes are made from plain cotton ...

Sondra Roberts is one of my favourite handbag designers, because she is brave enough to create beautiful and unusual purses without feeling the need to charge the earth.

Cork isn't perhaps one of the automatic materials you would choose to make a clutch out of. However, in the same way that cork heels ...

Tommy Hilfiger uses those signature stripes to create a tote that is as nautical as it gets.

Unless you don't like the sailor look, then you will probably be pleased by the current on-trend combination of red, navy and white. Personally I love the combination, and every time it comes into fashion I ...

Straw Studios abandons its typical woven designs for this cloth beach bag.

It's a smart choice for the brand. After all, woven straw has an even shorter shelf life once they're exposed to salty sea air, so using fabric instead makes a lot of sense. The fabric is also the ideal backdrop ...

The cute colorful stripes we saw on the Kola Clutch are seen again here on Pink Studio's Harmony Tote.

Some might accuse the designer of being unoriginal, but there are some clever differences that go beyond the size of the accessories. While the Kola was tightly pleated, Pink Studio has given the ...

Ah, doesn't this purse remind you of the Bakelite handbags of yesteryear?

OK, so the durability of design and workmanship may not be quite up to antique standards, what with the simple synthetic shape, but I do think this pays good homage to the vintage shapes and styles that so dominated the past. ...

Is it just me, or has nautical style been in fashion for seasons upon seasons now? It keeps falling out of the limelight and then climbing straight back in.

Well, one of the best ways to get in on this indomitable trend is to buy a classy handbag that lets you channel the ...

Tommy Hilfiger isn't known for being particularly fashionable but this Trail clutch is really quite stylish.

The design of this leather clutch is simple, but effective. The shape follows an elegant and familiar structure, whilst the cute turquoise clasp breaks up the long expanse of white. Immediately I feel this makes the purse ...

Pink Studio takes the clutch away from the red carpet with its casual Cola purse.

The clamshell design with its metal kisslock closure and frame is one that we've seen on so many formal clutches. But the Kola's canvas body, with its horizontal colored stripes and unique vertical pleats, brings a more ...

With all the casual styling you need for a Caribbean getaway comes the St. Croix tote from Vitalio Vera.

The brand has a knack for creating contemporary bags which cost much less than you'd expect. In the case of this tote, you'll have change from a $50. Of course that doesn't buy ...

This Two's Company Newport Tote has me itching for summer. There's something about the stripped pattern and the sunny combination of rainbow hues that has me longing for warmer days.

This enormous tote seems tailor-made for carrying a towel and string bikini to the beach or pool, but I wouldn't pack it ...

We can always count on Sun N' Sand to create an accessory which is both easy on the wallet and the eye. These beach-ready bags may not be the height of high-end fashion, but they are packed with personality.

This fun flamingo tote, designed by artist Paul Brent, is no exception. Two ...

With his signature dose of whimsy, Paul Smith makes this traditional bill fold wallet something special.

On the outside, it looks like any other black leather wallet. There's the square shape, the smooth black leather, and only white contrast stitching, purple stitched corners, and the embossed logo to jazz it up. But ...

Goldenbleu isn't known for creating bags that break from the norm, and this stripey Rachelle hobo is a new design of the brand's old favorite.

The shape of this bag makes the most of the smooth and sleek patent panels. Rather than going over the top, the emphasis instead is on a simple ...

Whilst there are plenty of brilliant and fashionable bowlers on the market, it seems that sometimes we forget that these bags were really designed to be functional and perfect for transporting all your sports equipment.

This Fred Perry bowler goes back to basics, with a traditional pattern and notable lack of embellishments. It ...

Kate Spade keeps things a little more demure than normal with this nautical striped demi-bag.

Although the style is still undeniable vintage, this bag is perfect for sailor-inspired outfits and subtle combinations, rather than for bright in-your-face pops of color. The unusual combination of navy, white and tan, however, does help to set ...

Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp.

If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this ...

This colorblock approach is more and more becoming the signature style of the L.A.M.B designers.

The Jean bowler makes great use of the patent panels, contrasting them with the metallic body and matte accents. Lookswise, this design ticks all the boxes for adding texture, pattern and interest into the design.

Whilst the bowler shape and black patent ...

Alexander McQueen is just one of many fashionistas, musicians, world leaders, and other assorted stars to lend their support to the Whatever It Takes initiative. Sales of the celebrity designed accessories, like this funky striped wallet, benefit the creator's charity of choice. For Alexander that's 21st Century Leaders, an organization ...

Travel doesn't always necessitate luxury style. Although I'm sure there are plenty of women who would disagree with that statement (mostly the ones that can't travel without Louis Vuitton luggage), I think that plenty of others just want a practical but cute bag to get them through the airport or road ...

Global Elements add another interesting luxury material to its repertoire, with this elegant velvet clutch.

In a wide baguette shape, this clutch is perfect for classy evenings out and sophisticated meals. The black velvet is a fabric that never fails to be soft and expensive looking, whilst the satin ribbon patterns provide a ...

Everyone needs a good weekend bag. Even if you don't travel on a regular basis, it's still important to have at least one mid-sized duffle with space to fit everything you need for a few days away from home.

One of the great things about this Tommy Hilfiger Explorer duffle bag is ...

The global economic crisis has got us all thinking about where our cash is going, or at least how we'll justify that latest handbag splurge to the man in our life. Tepper Jackson has your line of defense sorted with this reversible tote.

The $120 price tag doesn't just buy you one ...

Aldo have done it again - this is an extraordinarily affordable tote in bright vibrant colors.

At just $19.98, this tote is beyond cheap. It's a real steal! Now I have to try and do an honest review without getting overly caught up in the bargain basement price!

At first glance, this is a ...

Woven leather is effortlessly chic, which may be why everyone from high-end designers Bottega Veneta to cheap and cheerful brands like Aldo have gotten in on the act. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes comes Francesco Biasia's Caroline satchel.

At first glance, I didn't realize the Caroline was woven ...

Sometimes I have to wonder if Kathy Van Zeeland can ever produce a handbag that's not at least slightly over-the-top. I suppose there are a few exceptions, like the High Five purse; however, this designer's signature look is definitely more saucy than simple on most days of the week.

The Stripe Five ...

If you are a fan of Goldenbleu's striped handbags, such as the delightful miniature Andy purse, then their Tyler clutch will be just the thing to further your collection.

This spacious clutch harks back to a time of glossy patent leather and structured stylized interiors. The color schemes (a sophisticated navy/plum combo, or ...

The Montauk combines the elegance you expect from Michael Kors with just a dash of whimsy.

The body is classic and simple, with clean lines and smooth neutral toned leather. The reinforced corners are more practical than pretty, but that's just fine. In fact, the body's only embellishment is the silver-toned ...

Like the Latico Eelskin Wallet, this envelope flap clutch is made from exotic eelskin leather. It's a material you don't see used very often, but it usually has a dramatic effect when it is.

Well, dramatic is a word that describes this Latico envelope clutch. With its bright and colorful stripes, this ...

There is a lot to like about the Vitalio Vera Large Zane Hobo. Unfortunately, it is hidden beneath a few layers of a questionable taste level.

Let's start with the good. I actually rather like the color combination on this bag and the wide stripes don't bother me at all. It has a ...

Land Ahoy!

In case you hadn't noticed, nautical stripes and sailor-style themes have been the trends of the past 12 months. Little sailor dresses with bright shiny buttons, cute retro sailor caps and anything with anchors have been favorites of stars and High Street alike.

This bag updates the nautical style for summer - ...

If a regular canvas beach bag is just too boring for you, then you're bound to fall in love with Betsey Johnson's "pimped out" version.

The Betsey's Showgirls Tote provides an interesting spin on a nautical-inspired, striped handbag. Where you might expect to see navy blue stripes, Betsey Johnson has instead replaced them with ...

My eyes were instantly drawn to this block color B. Makowsky bag. The fresh color combination is great for this season but could work well in later months because of the dark trim.

The brown, baby blue, and light gray blend beautifully together. As always with the brand, the leather on the Portland handbag is ...

Ah, Roxy. Producers of all things surf-wear and beachy, this brand is synonymous with sun, sand and sea. Their designs are cheap, cheerful and above all casual. No fancy evening purses here; instead we have usability and bright summery colors.

This bag is no exception. In bright primary stripes, this shouts deckchair ...

I realize that bright, bold colors are in this season, but this multi-colored Rampage bag takes the trend just a bit too far for me. With its yellow, turquoise, and orange stripes, the Amber tote is more circus than chic, in my opinion.

Don't misunderstand me though. I'm a fan of striped ...

If you're going to pay over $900 for a bag, it might as well be one you can use several different ways. I appreciate how many designers today are offering handbags that can convert between two or more styles.

This Bally Pemba Pouchette is one of those clever totes that actually transitions ...

The Sidney satchel by Francesco Biasia combines the best of both worlds when it comes to a sunny weather handbag. It has that just-came-from-the-beach look along with less-casual details that enable you to wear it with a sundress and heels.

It's the combo of canvas and leather with decorative accents that gives it ...

Here at BagBunch we're ready to say goodbye to those gloomy gray days and hello to warmer weather! This adorable tote bag from Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line looks perfect for ushering in the new season.

Canvas totes are an ideal choice for summer. They're lightweight, they're durable, and the fabric lends ...

I'm all about eco-friendly fashion. Give me an chic, up-cycled handbag any day of the week. It's a recent, important trend for the fashion industry that sometimes doesn't get enough credit, in my opinion. Designers like Nahui Ollin and Harveys are just two of many bag designers that have taken ...

The wintery weather might be dragging on, but we’re already thinking about summer. This straw basket bag from Marni is just the thing to get you in the mood for the fun in the sun just around the corner!

This adorable handbag is made from soft, yet durable, straw. Chocolate and natural-toned ...

Large handbags are so hot right now, but this is one fashion fad you've got to be careful with. We all love those spacious interiors, but far too often these bulky bags can make you look a little frumpy. The slick stripy style of the District Tote from Rampage is ...

Rampage combined the slouchy profile of a casual purse with a contemporary checkered design to create the Thompson, a surprisingly versatile shoulder bag.

The chic gray and black geometric print reminds me of something we'd see in Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B collection. But unlike the L.A.M.B purses, the Thompson isn't priced ...
