Betsey Johnson ‘Betsey Be Bad’ Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Betsey be very, very good with this satchel. The soft burgundy leather is just barely pleated and the perforated corner details really make things pop. I love the contrast and the minimal use of brass-tone hardware on the handle, strap and studded accents. The 5 inch drop handles are kind of short, but attach the 16 inch shoulder strap and you can be hands-free. Inside are two open pockets and a printed faux-quilt logo lining. $325.

Relatively affordable and beautifully retro, this beaded clutch looks like something my mother might have tucked away in a drawer somewhere. The classic frame clutch is covered in peacock blue satin and adorned with delicate beading in a vintage wallpaper pattern. A hidden wrist chain makes the bag comfortable to carry and the push-lock closure opens to reveal a dark satin lining and a gusseted pocket. Also available in a deep eggplant. $120.

Elliott Lucca Siren Satchel, Handbag of the Day

I don’t know that ‘siren’ accurately describes this bag, but I like it anyway. Glossy Italian leather with a crinkly finish, the tasseled bag looks sporty and casual. This side view doesn’t accurately depict how large the bag really is – with a 3.5″ flat bottom sporting protective feet, it’s a big 12″ inches wide by 7.5″ high. With thick braided straps and gunmetal hardware, the bag is lined with graphite colored lining and features three interior pockets.$258.

From Maxwell Scott’s 2007 Contemporary Collection, the Claudia is designed to be beautiful and durable. All buckled up with antique brass hardware, it would make a great work bag and has a colorful surprise inside – electric blue lining. Made from supple Italian leather, it has comfy double handles and features one zip pocket in the large main compartment. This is classic tan, but it’s also available in dark chocolate and night black. £249.99.

Armani Linea Oregon Top Tote, Handbag of the Day

Soft brown suede and leather stitching may give this bag a bit of a vintage western vibe, but the crocodile embossed handle takes it uptown. With just a touch of metal in the barely-there silver-tone buckles and a lovely rounded shape, it’s a unique bag fit for the well-dressed pioneer. Measuring 13″ high by 15″ wide, the bag is from the Armani Collezioni collection and can be pre-ordered now for $1595.
