Marc Jacobs Little Stam Studded Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Marc Jacobs Little Stam Studded SatchelThe Marc Jacobs Little Stam Studded Satchel is a fabulous jolt to your wardrobe in black or this warm shade of pink.

The Studded Satchel has a rich texture in creamy quilted Italian leather with goldtone studs and hardware. We love the antique clutch shape -- made large in this iteration -- which makes the bag appropriate for both vintage and modern ensembles.

The bag is 8 1/2"H x 12"W x 2"D with a long leather strap; perfect for an entire day of shopping or a dinner-and-theater night. The studs keep its quaint design in check.

The Marc Jacobs Little Stam Studded Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $995.00.

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.

Alexander Wang Donna Hobo Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

alexander wang donna hobo bagA large bag is essential if you find yourself having to carry around everything and the kitchen sink. But it can add stress and frustration if you feel as though you are carrying around a black hole of a bag because you're unable to find what you need when you need it. The Donna Hobo Bag by Alexander Wang Bag provides a fashionable solution. The pale pink satchel is made of distressed leather and features ample interior room and plenty of exterior zippered pockets for organization. Another great feature is the center zipper that allows you to extend the bag to another four inches. The tied shoulder strap is a subtle decorative feature and measures at 20" in length. Measurements: 15" W x 13.5" H. Price: $795.

Burberry Nova Check Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Burberry Nova Check SatchelThe Burberry Nova Check Satchel is a complex and beautiful bag.

The rich, dark nickel encases a layer of PVC in a pattern you might recognize -- the cutouts can be misleading but look closely: It's the classic Burberry check pattern. This bag interprets the iconic print in a totally new (or shall we say "nova") way.

The haphazard cutout style gives fresh air to this simple shape, and its size (10"H x 15"W x 6 1/2"D) is large enough to tote around even your work portfolio. This bag exudes class with flair -- and is perfect for the high power woman with a feminine side.

The Burberry Nova Check Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,195.

Angel Jackson Jack Sequin Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Disco Jack!Angel Jackson has done it again. This sister-run design house we recently interviewed (Angel Jackson - Coming to America At Last!) has designed the gorgeous satchel above exclusively for Selfridges.

The British Union Jack never seems to go out of style, and this one is seriously disco-fied -- just look at those sequins, the studs, the goldtone hardware! The lining of this 19cm by 24cm satchel is leather, and better still? It's super-exclusive. Only 50 of this Angel Jackson masterpiece have been made, and it can be purchased only from Selfridges for approximately $418.00.

Don't feel like paying international shipping rates? The plain snakeskin version of the jack satchel will be in Intermix stores stateside. (Almost as cool.)

Gunmetal Zuma Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This is one of those bags that I both love and hate at the same time. I love that it's so slouchy and distressed, and I love the uniqueness of the knots in the design, but I hate that it looks like it was slopped together in some kind of emergency or something. It's the Zuma Satchel by Michael Kors, shown here in gunmetal, and there isn't much else to say about this one other than it has silvertone hardware, a double-zip top, and a hanging logo tag (which makes it look a little like luggage I think). $995

Tessuto Bow Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Prada jumps on the red fall trend bandwagon with this classically-shaped Tessuto Bow Satchel. Simple, feminine, and elegant, this handbag comes with both braided top handles and a detachable leather shoulder strap. The body is made of ruched red (or black) nylon with goldtone hardware, a pretty little red bow, and signature jacquard detail. Zip-top closure and interior zip pocket. A perfect pop of color to accent a LBD or even a business suit at the office, and it isn't so trendy it can't be used year after year if you love it that much. $695

Halston Allen Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This Allen Medium Satchel by Halston looks like a smaller bag was eaten by a larger bag but put up a good fight. Slouchy black leather sides and straps (looks more like charcoal gray to me) combine with black suede side panels and silver stud details that look like a sprinkling of stars on a dark night sky. A very casual but chic style in classic colors and materials for a trendy look that doesn't scream too loud. Studded shoulder rest on the strap, a zip-top closure, and a matching lined interior with pocket round out the design. $2,195

BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Leather Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Leather SatchelThe BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Leather Satchel is an attractive bag, whether you like orange or not. And I don't.

Still, I can't deny the allure of this shape, which appears as though it's just barely contained by its wraparound band. The pleats may look clumsy bu they're actually just relaxed; this is soft, buttery leather. We love the signature hardware details and secure zip-top with double handles.

The lining may be cotton, the size may be a bit large at13½"W X 11"H X 5"D, and most importantly: the color may be orange,but this is a perfectly respectable and relatively inexpensive bag that would add endless kick to your sharpest grey work ensemble or blue jeans at brunch.

The BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Leather Satchel is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for just $398.00.

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle SatchelThe Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel is an everyday bag for an extraordinary woman.

It doesn't come cheap -- this brown wild Indonesian python and rich Italian leather beauty will cost you almost $3,000. And sorry, Californians, as you probably know, python can't be shipped to you.

The bag has an easy elegance with its equestrian-style details atop its generous heap of python skin. We especially love the brassy-finished nickel hardware, making this bag appropriate with gold or silver jewelry.

This satchel would go just as well with jeans as an LBD (brown and black is okay this year), and at 9"H x 17 1/2"W x 4 1/2"D, it's large enough to take you from day to night with no trouble.

Look at the side buckles! We love this bag.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Esotico Pouffle Satchel is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $2,950.00.

Valentino Vertigo Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Valentino Vertigo SatchelThe Valentino Vertigo Satchel is an excellent, demure purse with a lot of character.

This red nappa leather bag is artfully pleated and folded into a basic shape -- with the effect of looking anything but basic. This is one of those bags you can carry with absolutely anything, and it's okay if you do, because nappa leather looks better with a little wear.

We love the dainty goldtone hardware, the double zipper top, and the generous size (11"H X 13 1/2"W X 6 1/2"D). It's rare to find a purse this large with this level of detail that doesn't look overdone. We have a feeling this new Valentino will be selling out quickly.

The Valentino Vertigo Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,995.00.

L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags, Celebrity Design

L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon SatchelNew from the impossibly versatile Gwen Stefani, the L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel is bright and bold with an unusual color pairing: beigey-gold and fire engine red.

L.A.M.B. is actually becoming known for odd-and-off-color choices, as well as expertly made, sturdy bags with great lines. We love the sporty double stripe down the middle, and the way the piping on the sides curves like the heel of a tennis shoe. It's rare to see a bag this bold that would dress down so perfectly.

To dress this bag up, we recommend removing the shoulder strap (it looks better without it anyway) and pairing this with an outfit that incorporates neither color -- preferably white or a neutral shade (it would look a little Hot Topic with black). Got patent red shoes? This is the bag with which to wear them, and don't skimp on the red lipstick, either.

The L.A.M.B. Hawke Ceylon Satchel is available from Neiman Marcus for $495.00.

G-Bag Bauletto Piccolo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Nothing like a big dose of bright red to catch some eyes and make a statement! Tod's G-Bag Bauletto Piccolo Satchel looks like red patent leather in these photos but it's really coated canvas -- which makes it lighter on both you and your wallet. There is leather in the form of contrasting brown trim and double handles that are adjustable via buckles. Other details include zip-top closure and a wide opening, little metal feet on the bottom, and a dark brown nylon lining. $850

'Estelle' Leather Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This 'Estelle' leather satchel by Versace is so cute and so sleek at the same time -- I didn't even know that was really possible until now. It must be the combination of slick black leather and ruched poofiness that does it for me, plus of course it has silver hardware (always my preference over gold) and contrast stitching for even more personality. Two exterior side pockets and the big Medusa emblem on the front make the whole silhouette a little reminiscent of a woman's cinched in waist and big hips. Or maybe that's just me. $2,645
