Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag is a bright, playful purse with a flirty vibe. Somebody call Prince -- it's "Purple and Gold."

We love Ms. Minkoff's use of color, and this shoulder bag is no exception. In black, this would be way less special, but in this eye-catching violet, the bag is youthful and fun. We love the vertical zipper belt that holds it all together with a utilitarian push-lock closure and the pretty, dainty tassels on the sides.

The bag is 14 1/2"H x 17"W x 4"D, large enough for books or portfolios, whichever you have. It would certainly brighten our lunch hour to pull a bag like this out from under our desks. A shock of purple can be like a secret weapon against a doldrum-ridden mood.

The Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $495.

Jimmy Choo Tatum Fringe Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Jimmy Choo Tatum Fringe Shoulder Bag is a sexy new Choo offering with a glamorous rock-and-roll edge.

This shoulder bag is crafted from woven and pieced together black metallic leather and soft suede, for a highly textured, I'm-cooler-than-your-average-fringe-wearing-hippie look. Speaking of the fringe, it drops a full seven inches, balancing the seven inch drop double shoulder handles. Keep an eye on the car door.

We love the bright silver hardware, which makes the black look blacker, and the way the chains balance the sleek logo plate at the bottom. The 16"W X 14"H X 2½"D bag is lined in a pale caramel suede and includes two zipper pockets and an open pocket.

This is one of those rare larger bags that dresses up well, so for your straight-from-work-to-play days, the Tatum Fringe is ideal.

The Jimmy Choo Tatum Fringe Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,695.

Christian Louboutin Lolita Mirror Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Christian Louboutin Lolita Mirror Shoulder Bag is a shiny, special bag for a to be seen.

At first, it's hard to tell from the photo what size a bag like this would be. It's actually rather large, at 19"W X 14"H X 4"D, so take note, this is an exceptional attention-grabber. We're not sure why Louboutin decided to call this the "Lolita" bag; if we saw a child with this bag, we'd roll our eyes. It would require a woman of extraordinary style to carry this with class.

In case you think you may be that woman, here are some additional details: Those are double 7" drop goldtone chain straps, and the bag is lined with red satin and includes a small mini-wallet in the same copper-mirror-effect material. While some might attempt to wear this with a casual outfit to downplay its extravagance, we think that might be a mistake. This is a completely fabulous bag, and we'd like to see it with a completely fabulous ensemble (or even a power suit?) on a completely fabulous person. A mirror-effect like this can sometimes look cheap, but trust us, it doesn't when Louboutin does it.

The Christian Louboutin Lolita Mirror Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $995.00.

Bottega Veneta Leather Fringe Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Bottega Veneta Leather Fringe Shoulder Bag is a fresh design with a subtle quirkiness.

We've seen fringe a million ways, and love this woven-together, thatched look in soft Italian leather. Additional allure is added by the contrasting-colored strands (all neutrals) in a haphazard, yet balanced design. The weaving gives the smooth, luxe leather a tactile, grippable appeal. We especially love the woven detail on the 13" drop strap, as the texture feels so satisfying.

This shoulder bag is 11"W X 7"H X 1½"D and lined in matching leather. It exudes relaxed chic style, and can be worn with your jeans or other casual ensembles, like any dress you'd consider pairing with cowboy boots. It is already so popular that customers of Saks Fifth Avenue may only order three per thirty days.

The Bottega Veneta Leather Fringe Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,850.00.

Botkier Orion Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Botkier Orion Leather Shoulder Bag is a surefire way to fight the winter doldrums with one of womankind's fiercest weapons: hot pink.

The name of this handbag suggests that it was inspired by the three stars of Orion's belt -- perhaps that's why New York house Botkier created a purse that can probably be seen from outer space. The lush Italian leather forms a fabulous hexagon which is just 5"W x 3½"H, and with a surprising 5" depth. It's essentially like carrying an enormous, gleaming jewel around.

We'd love to see this with a pretty white coat, or used as a last-minute way to jazz up a hopelessly boring outfit (it happens to the best of us).

The Botkier Orion Leather Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $275.00.

Carlos Falchi Python Shoulder Bag

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Trendy bags can be so much fun to wear, especially when you find them at a great price. But then the trend fades away, the bag just doesn't make that same powerful statement as it once did and ends up in your closet collecting dust. Thankfully, there are some designers that have the ability to incorporate trends and timeless styles into a balanced creation. Take for example the Python Shoulder Bag by Carols Falchi. It takes the trendiness of colorful exotic leather against the back drop of a classic silhouette resulting in a statement bag to last the ages. It features a gathered body that compliments the python's texture and color and would be a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Price: $2210

Dior Cannage Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Dior Cannage Shoulder Bag is a terrific holiday purse for merry days of shopping and candlelight dinners alike.

This Italian patent lambskin bag is ravishingly quilted in Dior's Cannage pattern, and not over-designed -- the shiny red is enough. While this would look great with black, we'd love to see this on the arm of a lady bundled up in a pretty white coat.

The bag features bright silvery chain links and a push-lock closure, and will be available in ecru with goldtone hardware in 2010. We love the leather detail at the top of the strap to protect your shoulders, hands and clothes from having to touch the hard metal -- how very considerate.

The Dior Cannage Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,750.00.

This fresh new design in a bright poppy rouge features generous silver chain links, oversized diamond stitching and dainty, only-from-a-French-design-house ruffle trim. The bag and logo hangtag are crafted from the finest lambskin, and the flap-top closes with an engraved silver push lock.

This spring, expect to see lots of silver, khaki, white and pale neutrals ... and this, as it will surely stand out if you see it coming down the street.

The Dior Ruffled Flap Shoulder Bag is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $2,050.00 and is expected to ship no later than January 6.

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

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The 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

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The 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

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The 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.

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!

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

Brahmin Les Femmes Izzie, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Brahmin Les Femmes Izzie is a classic shoulder bag with simple details that make all the difference.

This modest, crocodile embossed handbag is 9" x 12.75" x 4.25" and has a sturdy shape -- made delicate and feminine by the gentle bowing at the top, accentuated by the arch of the front slide pocket with a turnlock closure.

The bright, goldtone hardware brings out the warmth in this "Dune" color. See the gallery below for a side view of the Izzie bag in its other shade, "Olive."

The inside is all business. There are zippered pockets, a pen loop, a keyclip, everything you need to make your accessories easy to find. The top zips shut and the bag hangs at a comfortable 11" drop. This is a perfect day-to-night bag.

The Brahmin Les Femmes Izzie is available from Brahmin Leather Works for $325.00. Check out more of the Les Femmes collection below!

Chlo� Joan Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

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

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

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
