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.

Chloé 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.

Coach Bleecker Leather Large Flap, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


If I had to choose just one bag to carry for the remainder of my days, it would be a bag like this. Large, sturdy and neutral. The vintage leather looks like it would just get more beautiful with wear and the wide strap promises to be comfortable when the bag is loaded up. The hardware is over-sized, but the brass blends nicely with the warm tone of the leather. On the back side, it has a handy open pocket and the interior features several more. Lined with Tattersall fabric, the bag measures 10" x 10" x 4" with a 14" strap drop. $448.

Gryson Skye Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The last thing you want to do when the snow is flying is to break out your nice leather handbag. Snowbound fashionistas need something moisture-resistant and stylish, and this bag fits the bill. Made from Italian nylon (who knew there was such a thing?), the Skye bag sports good looks and durability. Trimmed in leather with tonal topstitching, the bag features brushed silver metal hardware and a long, flat shoulder strap as well as a shorter, rolled leather handle. Since we aren't worried about weather on the inside of the bag, the suede lining provides our leather fix. Measuring 14" x 9" x 5½", the nylon Skye bag is available in five colors and sells for $595.

Martine Sitbon Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Another shimmery metallic bag that manages to bypass gaudy and go straight to gorgeous. I love that the lambskin leather is thick and pebbled and almost completely unadorned. With just touch of gold-tone hardware on the straps and side buckles, the bag is uncluttered and sleek. A magnetic closure fastens the top and the interior is lined and features zipper and slide pockets. Measuring 20" x 16½, the 30" strap can be worn long or doubled for a more compact look. $450.

Dooney and Bourke Medium Logo Lock Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I usually find Dooney and Bourke bags to be a little stiff and boring. This one isn't all that exciting, but I like it for its simplicity. Clean lines, the sparing use of silver-tone hardware, and the neutral color make this satchel perfect for every day use. It looks quite rugged and up to the job of toting around the stuff you just can't leave home without. The cowhide leather is water repellent and the bottom has protective feet. Measuring 10½"H x 17"W x 8½" D, the bag features internal zip and cell phone pockets. It is also available in a pretty blue, but I think we've seen enough pretty blue bags lately. $395.

Yves Saint Laurent Muse Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The Muse bag has been around for a while, but I had not seen it in anything other than leather before. This one is dressed in grey felt and accented with with black leather details. It is a sharp look that is all business yet still feminine. Contrasting top-stitching highlights the "Y" pattern of the fabric and a brass-tone padlock includes a key for locking up the valuables. The double handles are wide and flat and have a 17" drop and the bag itself measures 14½" wide x 9'' tall x 4½'' deep. Inside, the bag features sateen lining and zip and cell phone pockets. $1036.

Zac Posen Zac Sac Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I am loving the French blue of this bag and the gently curved silhouette. Accented with gold tone details, the bag sports a chain-inset strap and a large zippered top. Black piping adds subtle contrast to the decidedly unfussy design and a simple flap pocket adorns the front. Lined in suede, the Italian-made bag measures 13½"W X 15"H X 5½"D and has an 11" strap drop. $1295.
