Oh, what were they thinking when they made this bag? If the signature isn’t hard enough to work with (although, as Coach has proved, it can work at times), they now thought it would be a good idea to add some Pepto Bismol pink stripes to it and call it a bag. While I plenty understand the beauty of the color pink, I don’t understand why anyone would want to pair it with a brown Coach logo. The handbag ...

Jimmy Choo: Normally very cool. Here, though? Not so much. It takes something like this unbelievable Polly Glazed Canvas Bag to really appreciate Choo’s creepy side, which seems to come out in full force on this enigmatic yet weird carryall. Not only have these four gals done their makeup in the dark, they’ve also hatched a plan to hypnotize the world with their soulless eyes. To be fair, the image is called Riot and it was created by artist ...
Ooh, la la! There’s a sort of Parisian charm about the sweet Gucci Sabrina Medium Boston Handbag. Though not usually a big Gucci fan, I find myself drawn to the little details on this smart carryall. It gracefully straddles the line between cute and grownup, boasting unusual ruching, a rust brown color and enough space to easily work as an everyday bag. From work to play, it’s a great piece that’s as stylish as it is sensible. Available ...
While in search of a great everyday carryall, I came across this Marc Jacobs Rihanna Bag. Despite its seemingly neutral color, the effect of the silver spray paint finish over clay suede is beautiful up close. The half-circle handles and sturdy turnlock closure are done in pewter, which is not very Jacobs-esque. It’s a nice surprise and I’m convinced that MJ should use it more often - it lends the bag such a sturdy, smart and pulled together look. ...
Proving they’re normal just like the rest of us, Bottega Veneta stumbles and falls with this bummer of a bag. The ho-hum Cotton Canvas Shoulder Bag isn’t really meant to turn heads - it’s just an everyday carryall, after all, and it bears none of the trademark elements that make Bottega Veneta’s other handbags so striking. This bag forgoes woven leather in favor of a clean canvas silhouette and a strong dose of practical functionality. Nothing wrong with either ...
Devoid of the iconic plaid, the Burberry Heather Carryall tote captures the elegance of the British fashion house. Mixing metallic, bold hardware and rich brown leather, this bag makes an excellent alternative for the usual black or brown oversized winter handbags. What is really fantastic about this tote is the versatile handles. It can be worn close under the arm with the top handles or it can sit lower and closer to your hips with the long ...
Churning out excess like only Louis Vuitton can, the line’s new Shearling Storm bag is a winter-perfect carryall that has me swooning. It’s not my usual type of purse at all, but somehow the allure of patent leather, shearling trim and the black, brown and cream color combination is too irresistible for words. It’s not going win any beauty pageants anytime soon - that’s obvious because this is definitely an acquired taste - but for anyone who loves all-out ...
With his Christy Hobo, Marc Jacobs seems to be hearkening back a bit to the old days (by this I just mean pre-quilted leather). This snazzy carryall is simple and chic, offering great potential as an everyday bag - fill it up with your daily essentials for work, then carry it for a casual weekend spent out and about. You can’t go wrong with this piece; from its extra-spacious interior to the always-useful outside pockets, Christy offers everything a ...
It’s amazing what Cole Haan has been coming up with in recent months. The strong, feminine designs are smart and stylish, with a nod to designs that really know how to stand the test of time. That’s the case with the Cole Haan Kaylie Bucket Bag, which doesn’t shy away from color with its pleasant moss green hue. With its pleated body, cinched belt and stud details, it’s the perfect alternative to the basic carryall. Looking for something even more ...
Showing up at the office with sky-high stilettos and a barely there skirt isn’t exactly recommended in most work environments, but it’s easy to vamp up an outfit with this sexy Jil Sander purse. The designer’s Work Size Patent Handbag is a take-charge, tough gal sort of carryall - it’s hefty enough to hold your basics but is infinitely hotter than the traditional tote. With its uptown girl, downtown chic vibe, it’s suitable for any fashionista who wants to look ...
Toughen up with a smart bag that means business, like the Pipeline Shiloh Tote Bag by Lockheart. The folks at Lockheart are pretty darn creative - whether it’s a hefty carryall or a demure clutch, the design is guaranteed to impress with its functionality and style. This purse looks pretty busy, with pockets, studs, buckles and a hefty flap tab closure all teaming up on an attractive gray palette. As practical and sturdy as it looks, it’s also incredibly supple ...
Though it’s heavily structured and practically drowning in studs and buckles, there’s no denying the outstanding beauty of Mulberry’s Roxanne Purse. This functional, chic purse is bursting with all the elements that make a carryall so perfect: a combination of interior and exterior pockets, plus plenty of space and deliciously soft leather, make this an all-around winner. The olive color is smashing for fall - it pops in the most understated way, and even though it’s more of a ...
I love a great, slouchy carryall like this Jimmy Choo Alex Purse. From its relaxed, carry-me-everywhere shape to its obviously impeccable quality and construction, this purse has the makings of a true classic. Hints of gold hardware keep it fresh and chic, allowing it to really shine in a sea of basic black totes. This is a perfect go-to bag for those occasions when you just need something to grab as you head out the door - no matter ...
Just when I thought I’d seen enough ultra-shiny bags to last me a lifetime, I ran across this beauty. Pauric Sweeney’s Zip Purse is a sporty carryall that boasts the credentials of something much more glamorous. As expected, zippers are the main attraction of this ruby red purse (and you can actually use the pockets, which is nice), but there’s more to this than cool little aesthetic details. It’s also extra spacious, with enough room to really pack all ...
