Handbag of the Day

Jack Rabbit The Bandit Studded Leather Crossbody Bag, Handbag of the Day

Jack Rabbit The Bandit Studded Leather Crossbody BagThe Jack Rabbit The Bandit Studded Leather Crossbody Bag is totally quirky and lovely.

This little red number is made of elegant artisan glazed leather, and decorated eye-catchingly with pyramid studs. We love the long, brash gold chain and the matching leather shoulder pad, as well as the size (8"W x 6"H x 2"D, big enough to actually hold some stuff) and the simple shape.

It also comes in black, green and purple, but we'd love to see this red one paired with your blue jeans or knee-high boots -- just don't wear it with lace; those pyramid studs will catch!

The Jack Rabbit The Bandit Studded Leather Crossbody Bag is available from Bloomingdale's for $335.00.

Tory Burch Nico Shearling Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Tory Burch Nico Shearling SatchelThe Tory Burch Nico Shearling Satchel is the bag you'll want to carry the day you get out your winter coat (if you haven't already).

The furry shearling edges of this bag will give you an instant sense of warmth, comfort and well-being, and the signature T's keep you looking chic in your bliss. The coconut brown color of this soft satchel is a perfect complement for the bright goldtone hardware, and we can't emphasize enough how much you will want to pet this when you are cold. (Or bored. Or lonely.)

This roomy bag has a simple, zip-top shape and the two wide shearling bands keep it looking structured and neat, even if you intend to stuff it with everything you own.

The Tory Burch Nico Shearling Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $635.00.

Rebecca Minkoff Morning-After Mini Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Rebecca Minkoff Morning-After Mini SatchelWhy Ms. Minkoff, what a saucy name for your satchel! The Rebecca Minkoff Morning-After Mini Satchel is great for the morning after, true, but we think we'd carry it around all day.

First of all, we love this pick-me-up shade of blue (it's called "Deep Turquoise" and thankfully it's not at the green end of that color range). We can't think of a person who wouldn't be flattered by this color -- wouldn't this look great with your hair? We bet it would.

The shape is simple and attractive; we love the boxy look. At 8 1/2"H x 13"W x 7"D, it's not big enough for your portfolio, but it is big enough for your toothbrush and a change of ... socks (nudge nudge wink wink).

The Rebecca Minkoff Morning-After Mini Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $550.00.

Coach Poppy Signature Zip Around Wallet, Handbag of the Day

Coach Poppy Signature Zip Around WalletThe Coach Poppy Signature Zip Around Wallet is a breath of fresh air in a season of dark colors.

This fun little wallet is just 8" by 4" -- small enough to throw into one of your larger bags to avoid depression. Just looking at it makes us smile. It's large enough to hold entire bills and has six credit card pockets and an inside zip pocket for coins. You can use the 14" strap as a wristlet to take this out at night -- and ditch your big bag at work.

The pretty poppy print is adorned with an embossed poppy logo plaque, retro goldtone hardware and metallic leather trim. Adorable.

The Coach Poppy Signature Zip Around Wallet is available from Nordstrom for $158.00.

Python Ruffle Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


A girl can't have enough hobo bags, if you ask me, since they're so comfy and useful and can make such a fashion statement even in the winter months when you're not all that dressed up. This Python Ruffle Hobo by Uzca takes the standard brown leather hobo and gives it a subtle but solid upgrade in femininity with a series of over-sized leather ruffles, which manage to bring the whole thing up a notch while maintaining the traditional hobo bag's versatility and comfort. $2,250

See by Chloe Backstage Crossbody, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

See by Chloe Backstage CrossbodyThe See by Chloe Backstage Crossbody is an unusual bag with a ton of functionality and a great shape.

This attractive little bag (10.75"W x 9.75"H x 3.5"D) is soft, buttery leather with snakeskin-embossed trim, a generous strap (21" drop) and a "look at me" logo in goldtone hardware. We love the "Backstage" name for it, as this is just the sort of thing we'd expect to see dangling from a runway model when she arrives for work or stuffed on the makeup table as she gets made up. The eye-catching color makes it easy to find post-show, too.

The drawstring closures are enhanced by a hidden magnetic snap, so even though it's a crossbody, you don't have to worry about pickpockets. Just worry about someone stealing the whole bag -- because it's gorgeous.

The See by Chloe Backstage Crossbody is available from Bloomingdale's for $470.00.

Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Michael Kors Skorpios HoboThe Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo is a classy Resort season hobo which practically emanates wealth and exclusivity.

To begin with, the bag is white, which instantly establishes that either the wearer doesn't ever get near anything dirty or that if they did, they could afford to throw it away and get a new one.

This hobo is the size of a big tote, at 16 1/2"W x 14"H x 5"D, and the slouchy shape can be expanded by undoing the goldtone clips at the sides. The soft leather face of the bag is trimmed with brown snakeskin-embossed leather, and the handle is brown braided leather with nautical-style clips -- very cruise ship.

The Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo is available for pre-order in limited quantities from Nordstrom for $1,095.00.

Aurora Clutch w/Labradorite, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


The Aurora Clutch with Labradorite by Raven Kauffman is one that you might not want to stash in the closet with all your other handbags between uses -- it's so pretty it could pull off a place on your dresser or vanity top like a piece of art. The clutch features a flying swallow pattern handcut into a grille of 18k gold-plated brass and labradorite. The grille is then set over a layer of Green Lady Amherst feathers for a wonderful contrast of textures. It has a detachable chain and flap closure, and measures 6 3/4" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2". $2,290

Black Shagreen Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


The Black Shagreen Clutch by Genevieve Jones is a little tame, a little understated, but a lot classy and a lot timeless (yes, I know that's not the best grammar). Designed during her travels to Thailand, stingray leather makes for the unique texture and the envelope styling is accentuated by the large whip-stitched leather medallion (with her unique logo design) that dangles off the point followed by a decorative leather tassel. The interior is surprisingly versatile divided into three separate compartments plus a small pocket. Lined in leather, $875.

Popeye Miniaudiere, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Whew! You could get dizzy looking at this bag too long -- it almost looks like something that might be used by a hypnotist to help people go under. It's the Popeye Miniaudiere by Sylvia Toledano and it's part of her collaborative set (with DJ duo Mesomenos) called "Third Eye." Available in limited edition only this glitzy little beauty could be paired with almost any dress or color scheme and will certainly steal the spotlight from any other accessory you might be wearing. Hardbox clutch style features a detachable chain and comes with a matching pen (presumably for taking down the names of all your new admirers). $1,950

Rattan Turtle Handbag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


I like anything earthy and organic, and rattan with turtle fits that bill. Tightly woven rattan makes up the entirety of this small handbag save for one adornment: a little turtle featuring bright pink galuchat for character. Evoking vibes of the sandy seashore, this Rattan Turtle Handbag by Lotus Arts de Vivre is both perfect for carrying a few necessary essentials on a weekend day or for holding your mirror and money at an evening beach party. No word from the Vivre page on whether it's lined or has a wristlet or shoulder strap attached, but I think I like it best without anyway. $850

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily PatentThe Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent is pretty and bold in its distinctive shade of bright, but unusually warm, pink.

Pink and gold would have sounded out of season to us, but this shade makes the whole look new. We love this bag -- the sturdy framing at the top, the gold hardware and logo plate, and the way the handle is positioned so as not to allow gravity to disrupt the shape of the bag.

At 8"H x 10 1/2"W x 6 1/4"D, this is not the bag to lug all your things to work -- the size insists that you only use this for play (but it's still roomy enough for all your makeup and even your camera). And we like that.

The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,750.00.

Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Slouchy Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Slouchy HoboThe Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Slouchy Hobo is a perfect bag to follow this season's texture trend. This roomy hobo may look like it's covered in metallic chains, but it's actually chain-woven black metallic leather. How hot is that?

This metallic "Stephanie" number also comes in Silver and Gold, but we like the black -- a perfect, demure complement for all the 20s-style gear you'll be wearing around the holidays. The bright silver hardware is attractive and interesting, and the bag is lined in durable beige canvas. The texture makes this bag transition easily from day to night, even at 13"H x 17 1/2"W x 5"D.

The Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Slouchy Hobo is available from Neiman Marcus for $875.00.

Judith Leiber Disco Ball Minaudiere, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Judith Leiber Disco Ball MinaudiereThe Judith Leiber Disco Ball Minaudiere is so discothèque-fabulous, we can hardly find the words.

Firstly, and most obviously, it's a disco ball. Judith Leiber has a habit of making minaudieres in interesting shapes, and this Italian-made 3 1/2"H x 3 1/2"W x 3 1/2"D sparkler may be our favorite one yet.

Covered in crystal rhinestones, this tiny case distributes light just about as well as any disco ball hanging from the ceiling, and will cause every kindred spirit in the room to search for the source of the glimmers and take notice of you. We also love the sexy tassel, which we think should be made a standard feature on all disco balls.

With this kind of opulence, you almost can't go wrong, but we'd especially love to see it paired with a white gown with silver and crystal detailing, a little black dress, or a pale cocktail number to emphasize the pretty crystals without making them look vulgar -- or too "retro."

The Judith Leiber Disco Ball Minaudiere is available from Neiman Marcus for $2,495.00.

Tania Dark Wood Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


It's always fun to have a bag or two that stand out from the rest not because they're over-the-top or obnoxious but because they're different. Simple and different. This Tania Dark Wood Clutch by Glorinha Paranagua is just that. It's straight forward, organic, but also very stylish and modern. Made of dark toned wood it has a contrastingly sleek over-sized black silk tassel and a brightly colored purple cotton lining. Other basics include a hidden magnetic closure, gold hardware, and no shoulder strap to speak of (I only mention it because most 'clutches' these days have them in some form or another). $365
