There’s nothing like a safety pin to really elevate a handbag to its most glamorous - at least if the safety pin is larger than life and still doesn’t compete with the rest of the bag’s charm. My common sense urges me to avoid carrying things like this Alexander McQueen Safety Pin Shoulder Bag, but the ruby red hue (gorgeous) is no match for common sense, apparently. The hefty safety pin acts as a decorative accent, yet gives the impression ...
Think this thing has enough zippers? While I wouldn’t exactly call this D&G Dolce and Gabbana Multi-zipper Jeweled Messenger Bag (geez, what a mouthful) a messenger bag at all, I think it’s an interesting take on a conventional style. Dotted with jewels and studs galore, this deep cognac leather handbag definitely stands out! But do we like the Southwestern flavor? I’m not sure about that. Also, five compartments? What exactly do you need that many for? It’s a little fuddy-duddy ...
Much as I enjoy seeing what Kate Spade will come up with next, I feel more and more disillusioned lately by the brand’s latest offerings. Up next is the rather pompous-sounding Melrose Noel Jaydn (Jaydn?! What’s the story there?), inspired by the glamour of Melrose Ave. - that includes in-your-face paparazzo and bratty celebutantes, naturally. Available in silver, orange and pink, this purse’s cheap look isn’t helped by its boarskin-embossed silver trim. Factor in that it doesn’t have a zipper ...
Easily putting other clutches to shame, this elegant Bottega Veneta Butterfly Knot is an artistic, graceful purse with a huge presence. The simple butterfly design and knot clasp are done in aged brass, which is a perfect partner for the blush-toned leather. This solid clutch feels surprisingly luxurious to the touch, and its old world charm is just irresistible. The equally lovely Farfalle Knot features a slightly different knot clasp and a simple ivory hue. Both are available for ...
Though Judith Lieber is responsible for some of the most stunning purses around, she’s also not exactly known for being Ms. Practicality. That all changes with her Blaze Dragee Handheld Satchel, which has handles (duh) and a roomy interior. Both elements make it much more useful than, say, a pig-shaped, jeweled clutch. Lieber doesn’t let the bag go untouched by her signature sparkles, though: The handles are encrusted with Austrian crystals. The blush color is understated and quite pretty. ...
Summery and relaxed, a large white tote is the perfect everyday carryall when the weather heats up. It matches everything, it complements the season perfectly…how can you go wrong? Well, this Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote is certainly a step in that direction. Though I am an obsessive fan of almost all things Bottega, this tote doesn’t impress me at all. It’s bland with its attempt at “illusion,” which, in case you hadn’t guessed, involve the rounded woven insets - they’re ...
Here’s a fun purse that won’t break the bank and will instantly elevate your wardrobe to bolder heights. Even better? It’s Marc by Marc Jacobs, so you know you’re getting nothing but the best with this Captain Shoulder Bag. The vibrant turquoise color is reminiscent of a day at the beach, so it’s just the thing to get you in the right frame of mind for the warmer months ahead. More of a neutral sort? Then you’ll appreciate the low-key ...
A beautiful finish makes this Kate Spade purse stand out for miles. The Orchard Street Rae is named for the famed Manhattan street, and its personality is just as impressive as its namesake’s. The patent black leather alone would make this a standout (albeit not very original) purse, but it’s the oil slick finish that really raises it to a new level. The effect is cool, especially if you’re a patent handbag lover and need something different to shake things ...
Send yourself a little love letter, courtesy of this adorable Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Tote. Similar to the Minaudiere Satin Clutch, it bears YSL’s French boutique address. This version, though, is large and somehow even more glamorous with its allover gold finish and large, practical size. It’s guaranteed to turn heads with its audacious, bold front, and I love that it’s so roomy that I could carry it anywhere. Available to pre-order for $1295 at Neiman Marcus.

The epitome of chic, understated glamour, this Yves Saint Laurent Muse Handbag is a real powerhouse. Perfect for the savvy, fashion-conscious professional and easily one of the most used handbags you’ll ever own, it’s made of gray wool felt, which is an unusual material that makes a nice change from the usual stuff. I love the contrast of black leather trim. The whole effect is very polished, and it’s a great bag to carry to the office year round. ...
