The soft leather comes in several colors, including cream, black and chocolate, and the bag is lined in suede with accenting gold hardware. Price: $734.

A Chloe bag without a padlock on it? The understated Gina Evening Bag is a soft, naturally-textured leather in a nude color that contrasts with the darker fall day bags that we've seen. It is accented with ruching, which looks as though it might disguise the location of a clasp, but the magnetic closure is actually at the top of this bag. The black chain strap gives a slight edge to an otherwise delicate bag, and the color is further marked by dangling black leather straps and two black beads at either end of the bag. Price: $1,105.
