Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom HoboThe Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo is one of the most daring purses we've seen this season, when all the designers seem to be playing it safe.

The inventive shape of this bag makes it stand out immediately -- we love the tasseled drawstring gather with two belt-clasped pockets on the well-defined sides. On closer look, we noted the stud work. The studs are meticulously placed on tiny pleats, adding intricacy and luxury to the look of the bag.

This 15.5"W x 12.5"H x 5.5"D hobo comes in Aqua (shown) and Sun (a beige-y yellow), and has a lovely floral lining. The bag does not rely on the drawstring alone, there is a concealed magnetic snap at the top.

The Isabella Fiore Hot Studded Blossom Hobo is available from Bloomingdales for $695.

Junior Drake Giselle Heidi Medium Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Junior Drake Women's Giselle Heidi Medium SatchelThe Junior Drake Women's Giselle Heidi Medium Satchel is a well designed addition to any closet.

This classic looking bag is a perfect investment piece; it's likely to come back and back into style. The elegantly arched braiding make the bag feminine and pretty, even in soft brown leather.

The braided belt-like double straps are affixed to the bag with brushed brass hardware, giving it a somewhat country western feel. This bag would be great with your cowboy boots, and at 18"W x 9"H x 6.5"D will carry everything you need for a day at the ranch.

We also like the durable look it has; we wouldn't be afraid to get this bag a little dirty -- it would probably just add character.

The Junior Drake Women's Giselle Heidi Medium Satchel is available from Bloomingdales for $458.

Cole Haan Phoebe Small Triple Zip Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Cole Haan Phoebe Small Triple Zip SatchelThe Cole Haan Phoebe Small Triple Zip Satchel takes its inspiration from a seashell, making it the perfect bag to carry with you on your spring vacation -- or to carry and pretend you're on a spring vacation.

The deep, widely-spaced pleats and generous leather double handles of this purse's design are luxurious yet modern. Its simple shape is enhanced by artisan braiding on the side edges, and decorated with a signature tassel pull. The goldtone hardware includes three zippers, making this bag functional and and stylish.

This 15"W x 9.5"H x 6.5"D natural grain leather satchel is large enough to be slung over the shoulder, but chic enough to go from day to night.

The Cole Haan Phoebe Small Triple Zip Satchel is available from Bloomingdales for $498.

Juicy Couture Leather Crown Button Key Purse, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Juicy Couture Leather Crown Button Key PurseThe Juicy Couture Leather Crown Button Key Purse is proof that sometimes good things come in small packages.

This adorable key purse is 5.25"W x 3.25"H x 0.5"D, just large enough for your ID, a credit card, and your house key -- and maybe your car key, but don't push it, and don't you go trying to get your whole keyring in there, you'll stretch out the gorgeous soft blue leather.

The amount of detail on this tiny purse is impressive, but not overwhelming. The distressed gold tone hardware brings out the warmth in the blue.

We recommend this purse for a night out with your significant other (it's likely to fit in their pocket when you get tired of holding it) or for doubling as your wallet in one of your larger bags.

The tiny Juicy Couture Leather Crown Button Key Purse is available from Bloomingdales for $68.

Isabella Fiore Russian to Woodstock Hannah Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Isabella Fiore Russian to Woodstock Hannah SatchelThe Isabella Fiore Russian to Woodstock Hannah Satchel has wooden handles and exquisite floral embroidery. The shamelessly springy feel of the bag is only enhanced by its vintage look.

This satchel's shape is a classic made modern by interior zippers and a cell phone pocket. The bag is made from soft, buttery lambskin, and features a magnetic closure at the top. Its generous 17"W x 9.75"H x 3"D size makes it bolder -- it's not just floral, it's a lot of floral.

For this and other reasons, we recommend keeping it casual with this bag -- wooden details are almost always a great match with denim. Wear what you would've worn to Woodstock (or what you did wear) with this satchel.

The Isabella Fiore Russian to Woodstock Hannah Satchel is available from Bloomingdales for $595.

Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea ToteThe Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote is an elegant, refreshingly basic tote for spring.

You might call this a "safe" tote, which makes it an excellent investment piece. Made from smooth, shiny cowhide (or so they say, but have you ever seen a green cow? I didn't think so.)(Yes, I'm kidding.), the bag has simple lines, charming tassels, and gold-toned hardware.

The perforated details and subtle Kate Spade namestamp keep this functional bag feminine. The 13.75"W x 10.25"H x 5.25"D bag also has a floral lining, complementing the grassy shade of the luxurious cowhide.

The Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote is available from Bloomingdales for $395.

7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The 7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra HoboThe 7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra Hobo is a demure, unexpectedly roomy, unusual bag.

It's larger than you might think -- 18.5"W x 13"H x 6.5"D with an 8" drop. This shape is versatile and deceptively spacious; 6.5" deep is very deep for a bag of this caliber.

Even the distressed leather of this bag is unusual, in this dark, dusty teal shade. We love the gathers at the sides, accentuated by the shiny nickel zippers and studs. There is a concealed magnetic closure at the top of the bag, and naturally, interior pockets to help you keep all that space organized.

The 7 For All Mankind Women's Canberra Hobo is available from Bloomingdales for $495.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Bedford Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Bedford Large Shoulder BagThe BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Bedford Large Shoulder Bag comes in three colors: Oyster (whitish), Raspberry (reddish), and Blue Surf (at right), but our favorite is unanimously this bright teal! "Blue Surf" is not a bad name for this bold shade, which has the eye-catching allure of a deep lagoon.

We love the asymmetrical rectangular front pocket, and the elegantly trimmed cloth strap. The dark metal details add distinction to the simple, 17"W x 12.75"H x 6"D shape.

Teal, or "Blue Surf," goes beautifully with white and black ensembles, and would be an excellent match for this spring's greys, as well.

The BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Bedford Large Shoulder Bag is available from Bloomingdales for $398.00.

Cynthia Rowley Jodie Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Cynthia Rowley Jodie ToteWe aren't at all sure about the Cynthia Rowley Jodie Tote. It looks rather like something you might somehow affix to your saddle before riding off into the sunset in the desert. Still, it's so unusual, we wanted to talk about it, so we made it Handbag of the Day.

This 12"W x 14"H x 7.5"D bag has a decidedly Southwestern feel, with its angled stitching and the straps evoking images of a horse's bridle. We can envision this working well with an unabashedly hippie-western look, complete with turquoise jewelry and lots of fringe. The color is a lovely, warm brown. Match it to your cowboy hat and God bless.

The Cynthia Rowley Jodie Tote is available from Bloomingdales for $395.

Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Women's Kara Drawstring ToteThe Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote is a beautiful bag with a number of exquisite details.

The cream colored leather is accentuated by contrasting, wide stitching and yellow gold tone hardware. We love the dramatic tassels, laced through porthole-like loopholes which cinch the tote into a casually gathered shape.

This is an excellent bag to pair with denim, and at 14.5"W x 13"H x 7.75"D it's large enough for a full Saturday of brunch, shopping, and even sight-seeing abroad. The detachable shoulder strap would be a perfect for when you're on the go. The purse is flirty and youthful, but the cream color keeps it elegant enough for a well-accoutered lady of any age.

The Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Kara Drawstring Tote is available from Bloomingdales for $575.

Marc Jacobs Palais Royal Asa, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Marc Jacobs Women's Palais Royal Asa CrossbodyThe Marc Jacobs Women's Palais Royal Asa Crossbody is a springy edition to any wardrobe.

Pink is practically a neutral in springtime, and this warm pink leather purse with its long, devil-may-care strap can dangle from your shoulder with jeans or a daytime dress -- it's even small and thin enough, at 11.5"W x 10"H x 1.5"D, to complement a well-chosen cocktail number.

While the color would be too brash with black for this season, it would be elegant and soft-looking with a fuzzy gray sweater or pale gray dress. We love the subtlety of the nameplate and the artful pleat in the front.

The Marc Jacobs Palais Royal Asa Crossbody is available from Bloomingdales for $650.

Juicy Couture Key and Shell China C Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Juicy Couture Women's Leather Key and Shell China C SatchelThe Juicy Couture Women's Leather Key and Shell China C Satchel is a smart little purse with a lot of personality!

The sturdy little shape is made elegant by soft, dusky blue leather and pretty, distressed gold details. We are particularly delighted by the shell, key, and tassels which dangle from the shallow double straps.

The 13"W x 8.5"H x 5"D satchel has a classic Juicy Couture logo lining, and includes inner pockets and zippers for phones and any other little trinkets you may be toting. This young-looking purse would be perfect with a black and white ensemble with similarly toned gold jewelry.

The Juicy Couture Women's Leather Key and Shell China C Satchel is available from Bloomingdales for $350.

Treesje Royale Monaco Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

 Treesje Women's Royale Monaco Satchel The Treesje Women's Royale Monaco Satchel is fresh and lovely as a fruit.

The bright raspberry color of this structured, soft leather bag could wake you up from across the room. The quilted leather and gunmetal hardware are well chosen, but the most exciting detail of this purse is the inventive "foldover" design. This bag expands to the size of a tote, but if it's not full, it collapses ad magnetically locks into this adorable, boxy shape.

This is the perfect bag for an unpredictable day, when you're not sure whether you'll want extra room in your purse -- or for toting a hostess gift like a candle or a bottle of wine!

The Treesje Royale Monaco Satchel is available from Bloomingdales for $615.
