Take luxury to new heights with Be & D’s Greta Clutch. Made of chinchilla and accented with an oversized black patent python buckle, this adds “ooh la la” to the most mundane and monochromatic outfits. Soft to the touch and beautifully constructed, the Greta Clutch is exquisite. I cannot speak to how well chinchilla holds up or how durable it is when held in someone’s hand for possibly hours – especially if you have sweaty palms – but nonetheless it is gorgeous. The interior is lined with suede and features a zippered pocket to store delicate and personal items. Clutch dimensions: 13″ L x 3″ W x 6″ H. Price: $995.

Lara Bohinc Rosetina Foiled Leather Bag, Handbag of the Day

What an exquisite example of a metallic leather handbag that is more gorgeous than garish. The softly gathered perforated leather gives and interesting texture and I am in love with the gold chain link handle. The wide band of smooth gold leather around the middle adds some weight to the delicate-looking bag and a knotted length of chain dresses up the press-stud fastener. Inside the bag is lined in red and features one small pocket. $965.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elie Tahari Patent Leather Satchel, Handbag of the Day

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.

This crisp white clutch looks very buttoned up and business-like. Made from soft kidskin leather and sporting three different pocket styles, the stark hue is dressed up with gold-tone zippers and a shiny frame. The hinged opening secures with a push-lock closure and the interior is lined in more white leather and a single slide pocket. It is also available in a warm golden brown and sells for $830.

Givenchy Two Tone Shopper, Handbag of the Day

I can see myself carrying this go-with-anything black and white leather tote on a regular basis. At 18″ x 16.5″ x 1″, it’s large enough to hold everything I need and has plenty of room for additional shopping finds. It has wide, comfortable straps and the interior cell and zip pockets will prevent the awkward ‘tote-dig’. A little antiqued brass studded detail and a logo luggage tag finish off the look of this simple and practical bag. $1,600.

Alexander McQueen Elvie Puff, Handbag of the Day

Pleats make it puff and patent leather makes this shiny bag a winner. With all the interest on the bag itself, the solid silver turnlock fastener sill manages to catch my eye. There is nothing dainty about it and I love the way it contrasts with the glossy jet black of the bag. Matte leather rolled handles are attached with gleaming silver rings and the bag is fully lined with one inside pocket. £830.00.
