The glove is attached to the bag with a snap and is (presumably) removable. The interior is fully lined in purple/plum with one inside zipper pocket and has a snap closure. Certainly an accessory meant to start a conversation. $1,920

Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo is a lovely, practical bag in an unusual, beautiful, chaotic pattern.

This printed leather bag has a flat silhouette (as the name implies), but your own belongings will give it shape. It has front and back pockets as well as three interior pockets, and the double handles are accented subtly with chain. We love that the chain is somewhat hidden; it gives the bag no bearing on whether one should wear it with gold or silver jewelry.

This bag is perfect for your all-day endeavors like work, visiting friends, and sightseeing. At 16"W X 13"H X 3"D, you could fit entire portfolios or all your touring accoutrements like cameras and document carriers. Its chaotic pattern and comfortable shape make it an easy contrast to whatever you were planning to wear, whether you're trekking museums in Vienna or shopping in St. Tropez.

The Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo is available exclusively from Saks Fifth Avenue for $795.00.

Valentino Lacca, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Lacca is a classy bag for a dame of extraordinary style.

The traditional shape of this fabulous bag is turned on its head with a masterful gathering of the black patent leather creating an effect similar to expert-level napkin folding. We love the generous handles and the deep, roomy top-zip body, as well as the classic Valentino logo plate on the side, of course.

This 15"H x 19"W x 6 1/2"D bag is lined in satin and includes a zipper pocket for a little extra organization. This is one of the finest, most sophisticated bags large enough for work we've ever seen, carried off with a supremely feminine flair. It's one of those bags which announces itself with a stately, "I'm important" presence. We could see Audrey Hepburn carrying this just out of frame in one of her iconic black-and-white photos -- it's that glamorous.

The Valentino Lacca is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,195.00, and also comes in a pink so bright it will burn your eyeballs.

Valentino Summer Flower Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Summer Flower Tote is another femme-fatale, dynamite bag from Valentino's particularly womanly spring collection.

This very nearly lip-shaped tote is decked in supple nappa leather flowers in bright, bold colors which captivate and catch the eye. The unusual color combination is fresh and lovely, calling to mind images of a hot summer day, a glass of lemonade and some very red lipstick. The use of black increases the intrigue of the bag, giving it a gothic edge. One could see a celeb like Dita Von Teese carrying this to complement a lacy or chiffon ensemble.

The bag is especially large (21"W X 12"H X 8"D), and could even be used overnight. It features a magnetic snap closure and metal feet, a black polyester-satin lining and a 16" drop detachable shoulder strap. We'd hate to see a bag like this wasted on work, and hope we'll catch someone brave enough to take it down the red carpet.

The Valentino Summer Flower Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,690.

Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

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.

Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote is a classy travel bag to double as your carry-on.

As a frequent traveler myself, I always pack light. I bring a rolling suitcase that will fit in the overhead compartment and a purse large enough to stuff my laptop and a book in (as well as the other usual purse effects). This keeps me from having to check a bag, and keeps my valuables with me, just hovering three or four feet above my head.

One look at this and I can tell you this is a great bag for traveling. The durable, belted structure will keep all your important pieces together, and there's no mistaking that even at 14"H x 15 1/2"W x 5"D, this is a purse, and can be carried on with your luggage as your "small personal item."

The charcoal leather of this tote is accentuated with simple silver hardware and ingenious turnlock closures at the top and snap-button sides, which make it expandable. It includes two zipper pockets for important things like your passport and phone.

The Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote is available from Neiman Marcus for $528.00.

Botkier Harper Lambskin Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Botkier Harper Lambskin Tote is a beautiful, bright blue bag with a fun, festive design.

This tote is belted in all kinds of ways, from the clever double buckles on the double handles to the chic and utilitarian horizontal straps which give the bag its unique, sexy shape. The warm, Caribbean blue is set off nicely by the gunmetal hardware -- and did we mention it's not your average leather, but soft, buttery lambskin? You could practically use this as a pillow.

The bag is 12"H x 15"W x 4"D, and features a cream-colored jacquard lining (creating a fabulous teal-and-cream contrast). The top zips with a tassel pull, and a detachable shoulder strap is included.

This Botkier will make an excellent splash of color to set off this seasons pale grays and beiges, and is large enough to function as a work bag for the gainfully occupied.

The Botkier Harper Lambskin Tote is available from Neiman Marcus for $595.00.

Valentino Laceland Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Laceland Tote is a pretty, feminine bag perfect for the pale shades of this spring.

As we emerge from the dark jewel tones and black velvets of winter into a lighter, brighter, pastel spring 2010, this pale gray Tote can be your friend and ally at work or at play. The laser-cut soft nappa leather includes layered lace and eyelet details, and will age beautifully. The double ruched handles call to mind an antique framed silhouette or elegant hand mirror, creating an even quainter, lovelier overall effect.

At 16"W X 14"H X 5"D, this delicate, girlish tote is large enough to throw over your shoulder with everything but the kitchen sink inside. We love a ladylike bag with some down-to-Earth sense, and that's just what this is. The lining is a durable polyester-satin blend. Magnifique.

The Valentino Laceland Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $3,495.

L.A.M.B. Ultraviolet Briolette Leather Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Gwen Stefani has done it again. The L.A.M.B. Ultraviolet Briolette Leather Bag is fresh, youthful and classy, and surprisingly affordable.

This baby yellow, embroidered leather bag is given an unexpected edge by the inclusion of dark nickel zippers. The bag is smallish (10½"W X 6"H X 3"D), so the zippers are subtle enough to pass at dressier events. A closer look will let those around you know that you've got personality and style; this is not just a run-of-the-mill purse.

We don't know how Ms. Stefani keeps her prices so low, but her youthful designs are well-served by the practice. For those of us who scoff at overspoiled teens, this bag is a refreshingly appropriate gift. And, as this goes easily from the classroom to the dance floor, it's sure to get plenty of use.

The L.A.M.B. Ultraviolet Briolette Leather Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for a steal: $195.00.

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.

Gucci New Bamboo Large Top Handle Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Gucci New Bamboo Large Top Handle Bag is a gorgeous neo-classic from a house we love.

The unusual texture you're looking at is actually a fascinating heather gray leather -- feels normal, looks innovative. This is one of those bags that will become even more attractive with age.

The heather leather -- that's right, we said it -- and steely nickel hardware are a beautiful contrast for the bamboo details. The bamboo accents are carefully balanced; just the bases of the tassels are utilized, and the gorgeous handle is wrapped with elaborate leather details to keep the color contrasts in harmony. We especially like the big, bold bamboo turnlock closure -- so much more tactile than the usual hardware.

The top flap hides a Gucci inscribed mirror and the bag includes two detachable shoulder straps; one in plain leather and one in braided leather with chain. This 10½"W X 6¾"H X 4¼"D masterpiece gives a modern spin to the retro bamboo handle, but the look is still quite difficult to dress up. We find this Gucci most appropriate for lunch or brunch, and casual activities like films and shopping.

The Gucci New Bamboo Large Top Handle Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,950.00.
