Smythson Chepstow, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>
Who doesn’t love orange? From Smythson’s Autumn/Winter 2007 collection, there is nothing Halloweenish about this rich clementine hue. Sturdy and roomy, the the crocodile-finished calfskin shoulder bag offers simple style in a not-so-classic color. Measuring 12″ x 8″ x 5.25″, the structured bag has a boxy shape with minimal gold tone and enamel accents. With a large exterior flap pocket and rolled leather handles, the bag opens with a double …

Gustto Doma Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>This metallic snakeskin clutch is available in old silver as shown or a richer gold toned shadow color. Either way, the flashy pleated bag is jazzed up with faceted stone and logo stud accents in a seemingly random pattern on the front. This over-sized jewelry reminds me of bubbles and adds a bit of fun to the otherwise formal clutch. There are two ways to carry this bag - by the wrist lanyard on the side or by slipping your hand through the wide …

Marni Feathered Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>
Feathers may be all over the runways this fall, but too much of a good thing can make one a little birdish. I think this bag strikes a nice balance with a wispy row of pink and grey rooster feathers against a soft grey satin.
A panel of dark grey latex is accented with a Swarovski crystal adorned latch and the wide leather and nylon strap is fortunately detachable. Inside, the bag is lined in silk raso and features one leather trimmed pocket. …

Thomas Wylde Fairground Tote, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>
I think the skull trend should be just about over by now, but with Halloween approaching, it seems appropriate to spotlight a ghoulish bag. From a distance, you might not even recognize the dead heads all over this canvas bag. But you will notice the proliferation of gunmetal logos tags hanging from every possible location. By my count, there are five -including a stationary one on the front pocket. For me, that is about three too many. I do …

Vanessa Bruno Suede Shirred Bag, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>
I love the slouchy and casual look of this bag. Dark olive suede is gathered through double strips of leather, adding to the slouch factor and creating roomy pockets on both sides of the bag. With just a touch of metal in the small buckle details on the sides and handle, the bag secures with a hidden magnetic closure. Inside, it is lined in similarly colored cotton and has a large main compartment with one zip and two slide pockets. $615.00

Furla Frede Bug Shape Bag, Handbag of the Day

Handbags

>
At first glance, this domed-shape bag doesn’t really stand out. The details are spare and there is very little hardware to catch the eye. But maybe that is what makes it the ideal bag for every day use. With barely-there contrasting top stitching, the rolled leather handles attach to the bag as if they grew there. Softly gathered leather gives a feminine look and the light tan color goes with just about anything. With the logo embossed discreetly …
