This bag stands out for its shape, but I particularly like the handle attachments, which look a bit like a large, covered buttons trimmed in gold. The patent leather itself looks thick and soft and the hollyberry color is beautifully festive. With rolled double handles and a large zippered top, this pretty bag measures 9 ¼”H x 13¾”W x 7″D and is lined in cotton. This Zoe style bag is also available in patent black and blue, soft brown suede and metallic gray. $595.

Jalda Anaconda Amalfi Clutch, Handbag of the Day

How do you dress up a rather plain snake-printed leather clutch? Add some over sized brass rings and attach a saber-carved piece of wood. I like the idea, but the unusual handle just doesn’t seem to go on this particular bag. It looks slightly better on the black version of the clutch, but still stands out as bulky and mismatched on such a sleek bag. With a magnetic flap closure and faille lining, the bag measures 10″W by 5″H by 2½” D and has zero pockets. $315.

Mitzi Baker Danica, Handbag of the Day

This rich brick color makes this bag an obvious choice for fall, but it’s the roomy size and lack of flashy hardware that will make it easy to wear every day. With a handle length of 21 ½”, this spacious leather tote measures 19″H x 14″ W x 5 ½” D. A large zip top opens to suede lining and two interior pockets. With leather-protecting feet and gentle pleating, the bag is available as shown as well as in black. $530.

Mulberry Mabel, Handbag of the Day

This bag is available in several colors, but who could resist glowing purple? From Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2007 collection, the shiny patent leather Mabel bag is a beautiful way to put some color in your day. With gold tone hardware and tasseled zip pulls, it looks smart and funky at the same time. It has a clean, compact look about it and I love the extra wide handles and matching luggage tag. Measuring 13.5″ W x 8.5″ H x 6.5″ D, it has a 7″ handle drop and a top zip closure. £695.

Cole Haan Suede Shoulder Bucket, Handbag of the Day

The leaves on the trees may have turned to red, yellow and gold, but this mossy green bag will warm things up nicely. What could be cozier than a soft suede bag trimmed in deep chocolate leather? This bucket-style bag has a simple adjustable shoulder strap and two smart-looking front pockets. Other than the brushed nickel hardware on the pocket trim and strap, the only embellishment to be found is the woven strip of leather up the front. With slim leather piping on the seams and a canvas lining, the bag features four interior accessory pockets and measures 16 ¼” L X 12″ H X 5″ D. $425.
