Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder BagThe Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag is a fun way to work a lot of animals prints into your outfit at the same time.

Some of these prints are actually pony hair, originating from Italy and New Zealand, so not only does the bag make it look like you're dating a successful Serengeti fur trapper, but it's soft and stroke-worthy (helpful, because you miss him on his long trips).

In all seriousness, this is super cute. Throw this over your shoulder with a little black dress, put a martini in the other hand, and you might as well be in Mad Men. The bag is 9"W X 8"H X 1½"D, and has a fabulous goldtone chain and logo plate. Added bonus: all these colors are neutrals, so you can totally pair it with your jewel-toned holiday dresses for a very luxe effect.

The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,075.00.

Salvatore Ferragamo Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Mini Vara Capra Shoulder BagThe Salvatore Ferragamo Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag is a chic and fresh new offering from one of our old standbys.

Just look at the strap: leather, chain, a buckle and a tie keep the bag interesting, but the different elements are graceful and pretty together -- that's quite a feat! Not only that, but it's adjustable, so it's even functional in all its eclectic glory.

The bag pictured here is metallic silver with brass-toned nickel hardware, and it also comes in black and shell. We love the way the Italian leather is clamped into this rich, grabbable texture on the retro front flap.

The Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,490.00.

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder BagThe Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag is truly unusual and very chic.

This bag comes in plum (shown), gold, or black metallic leather and is the perfect day bag, with that comfortable square-cut shoulder and enough space for all your accessories -- even the makeup bag.

We love the elegant, braided rope-like details and the creative gathered pleat at the front. The sides feature drawstrings to help keep this open-top bag safely and securely shut. This bag has no hardware at all, so you can wear it with gold or silver, and any pattern, as it is completely and deliberately monochromatic.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,290.00.

Lucy Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Brown leather is so classic and appealing -- I think almost all of us have owned a brown leather bag at some point in our lives! Jimmy Choo understands the appeal as well as anyone, shaping it this time into a richly-colored brown leather printed shoulder bag called "Lucy." It features a simple foldover front with a clip fastening. All the hardware is goldtone, which includes more clip fastenings on the shoulder strap and zipper closure along the bag's top. Plus several pockets and a tan suede lining can be found inside. $1,495

Chlo Joan Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This Chloé Joan Shoulder bag evokes feelings of both practicality and fun. You've gotta love a top that cinches up like this one does, and the equestrian inspired hardware, plus the colors are nice and neutral for fall without being boring. Opens at the top, of course, but it also has a somewhat hidden compartment on the front with a tasseled leather pull and zipper closure. The cinch-top is fun but since it doesn't close securely I'd have to be especially careful not to let anything spill out when I set it down. $1515

Marni Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I like this shoulder bag because it's got a lot of style but isn't loud or impractical, plus it looks comfy and easy to use and to take care of (I love anything that looks low maintenance). The Marni Leather Shoulder Bag is made of soft green suede, bright silver hardware, and sides accented with a pretty shade of purplish-pink. It closes at the top with an oversized bobble push lock that shows through the flap via a cut-out, and the flap stays down with a clasp. $1,775

Trigger Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This Trigger Shoulder Bag by Alexander McQueen looks sturdy and like it's designed for a busy woman on the go who uses the heck out of her handbags. It's sleek in black leather and has a slight military inspiration in the design, but a feminine touch can be found in the detachable gold and black plaited rope strap. It features studded trim, a decorative golden buckle, a press stud fastening, and protective feet. The interior is divided into two compartments by a small zippered pocket and (of course) it's fully lined. $2345

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I never quite know what to do with this particular shade of blue, although they call it "midnight blue" to me it's more of a grey periwinkle that may be pretty but is also picky (as far as what it will coordinate with). But regardless this Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Shoulder Bag is especially nice in a soft and slouchy shape that features the intrecciato style and some large ruching detail up the middle. It also has a lush (albeit a little hot for summer) suede lining in taupe, and a zip-top closure. $1,950

Like intrecciato? We've also featured an oversized tote, a laptop bag, and a pretty red clutch that feature it.

Jimmy Choo Malena Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Some bags are meant for specific occasions, some bags are meant to make a statement, and some bags are meant to be exceptionally stylish for a very short period of time. And still other bags are meant to be flexible, to do and to go wherever you need them. This Jimmy Choo Malena Shoulder Bag fits into that category. Stylish and neutral, this bag will carry your everyday essentials alongside your everyday outfits with ease. It features vanilla patent leather paired with suede, lots of buckles, a few zippers, and brushed brass detailing. $1,975

Dior Gipsy Ruffles Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This bag is so unusual that you are either going be completely enthralled by it or wonder what in the heck they were thinking. I think I love it. It's flirty and fun with a double row of eyeleted leather ruffles in a gorgeous deep red. With all that going on, the rest of the bag is appropriately simple in every other way. Other than those pesky charms hanging from the shoulder strap, that is. Also available in an equally pretty black version, the bag sells for $1950.

Kooba Julia Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


In neutral taupe with pretty tortoise buttons, the Julia features a striking yet subtle snakeskin print. I love the extra wide straps and the matching trim along the top. With external patch pockets on front and back and decorative flaps on the ends, the bag has a nice, non-fussy look that would coordinate with most any outfit. Inside, it is lined in fabric and features zip, patch and cell phone pockets. Measuring 15½"W x 11"H x 4½"D, it has a zip top closure and is on sale right now for $312.99.

Roberto Cavalli Sahara Print Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Obviously the animal print trend is alive and well in the handbag world. I, for one, hope it stays that way. Designers keep finding new and interesting ways to employ these exotic patterns and I never tire of them. This one takes the jungle print uptown with gold accents and the result is stunning. The metallic gold leather trim highlights the pretty curves of the flap and the detachable chain strap adds even more elegance to the shimmery satin bag. I am, however, just about over the charm trend. This one sports five, hanging from a gold ring on the side of bag. Measuring 11"W x 6"H x 2½D, the bag sells for $1390.

Chlo Bay Patent Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am usually not a big fan of purple, but this dark violet shade is kind of nice. The grained lambskin just glows and you know it is going to feel as nice as it looks. Accented with just the right amount of gold-tone hardware, the bag sports Chloé's signature over sized zipper pulls and double rolled handles with an 8" drop. Inside, the bag is lined in canvas and features a zip pocket. Measuring 12"W x 13"H x 4" D, it is currently available for pre-order for $1,760.

Prada Tessuto Soft Calf Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


It's not too early to start thinking spring. The new handbag collections are starting to make their appearances and I am loving what I see. Bright colors and fun patterns abound and it puts me in the mood to shop. And what says spring more than green? Prada calls this shade acquamarina and it gives this simple bag a fresh and clean look. Adorned with just one large pleat and a gold-tone logo, it is anything but fussy. Measuring 8"L x 9"W x 2"D, this calf leather bag is the perfect way to kick off the new season. $535.

Tano Haughty or Nice Shoulder Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Have you ever seen metallic leather look so much like actual metal? The trim on this bag has such a beautiful shimmer to it and it really pops against the dark brown leather. The classic shape is further highlighted with more metallic leather piping around the edges and some subtle pleating on the front. Measuring 16"W x 12"H x 6"D, the bag opens with double magnetic snap closures and has a 7" strap drop. $200.
