So bad, yet so good - that always seems to be the story with alligator bags. I’m drawn to the beauty of this Glazed Alligator Frame Bag by Brooks Brothers, but can’t see myself actually carrying it! It’s hard to resist the sheen in shades of red and cognac, and the handbag is the very definition of dainty and ladylike. Simple brass hardware and a classic rounded handle complete the picture. It’s a great purse, but I’d need to ...

The Coach Bleeker duffle first caught my eye when the F/W catalog landed in my mailbox a few months ago. It was styled just so in the catalog, making the models look as if it were just the most joyous bag in the world. It’s available in quite a few colors, by my favorite is rust, which is shown here on the bottom left. It’s a great shade of brown that is almost a nutmeg/dark camel. The brass ...
Less polished, more slick, but still chic no matter what - that’s the beauty of this Chloe Audra Zipped Purse. It takes a minute to digest the odd splashes of color on this one, but somehow it seems to work even if tan leather studs, red-trimmed zippers, brass hardware and black patent leather seem an unlikely team. Audra is soft and relaxed, less structured than the basic work tote but still just as pulled together and appropriate for a day ...
If you’re planning to invest in something major (perhaps your bag of the season?), you won’t go wrong with something as sharp and chic as the Prada Nappa Gaufrean Tote. It’s easy to spot the differences between this and your average, run-of-the-mill tote: The Nappa Gaufrean is guaranteed to earn some envious stares with its exquisite ruched leather and brass hardware. The Prada logo on the handle’s tab is a nice touch - it proves that off-center doesn’t have ...
Much as I loved his quilting extravaganza, it’s nice to see Marc Jacobs go back to more traditional - aka seamless - materials with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Aline. Made with stone-colored soft grained leather, this modest-sized purse has a polished but not stuffy feel to it, thanks to cozy-chic details like contrast topstitching, brass hardware, and front and side pockets. It’s upscale meets utilitarian, like a pair of silk cargo pants. Lovely Aline will make a lovely ...
Once again, Derek Lam has delivered a truly inventive, highly covetable handbag that doesn’t look like anything else out there. Meet his Consuelo Bag, which sports ribbed brandy-colored madras leather along with matching smooth leather trim (love that warm caramel hue!), tonal topstitching, and aged brass hardware. I especially like the whimsical loops of the rolled leather handles; a removable shoulder strap is thrown in for good measure. It’s elegant but artistic at the same time.

If you read my entries a lot, you’ll know this is one of my favorite colors. This deep red crinkle-patent leather Jill Stuart Yana Purse is like a confection of cherry gum ribbons. The shiny brass hardware and bolts hold this taffy pull of a purse together at the handles. I think I like this handbag even more for the fact that it doesn’t follow the stereotypical ’summer’ colors of white, beige or straw. For ...
