Botkier bags are designed by Monica Botkier, a former fashion photographer who was looking for a stylish bag that was big enough to hold all her equipment. She had no idea that the Trigger Bag she created would launch her into a permanent place in the world of handbag design, with fans like Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow. This ocean-blue satchel is the Lexi Bag, a top-handled bag with plenty of hidden pockets and compartments to tuck away everything from keys to cellphones. It is made of soft, supple calfskin which, in Botkier style, is durable and long lasting. The metal studs on the strap make it seasonal, but with a bag this functional and easy to carry, it won't get relegated to the back of the closet any time in the near future. It is also available in five other colors, including black and white. Price: $645
