I used to love totes. I couldn’t get enough of them because of their versatility. I still like totes, but my latest obsession is satchels.

What are satchels? Well, yes of course they’re handbags, but satchels are a more specific kind of purse that usually has a top closure, top carry handles, flat bottom, and a semi-triangular side profile. My last satchel purchase was the Kathy Van Zeeland in the clear Swagger Satchel (lemon yellow of course since yellow was HOT this summer), but now I’ve got my eye on the newest satchels for fall.

Satchels, like totes, offer a lot of versatility but just a little more organization than tote bags. That’s why I’m starting to like them more and more. I love the shape (the flat bottom, the handles) but the fact that I can fit a lot in them without them being bulky and without losing everything at the bottom is an added bonus.

Check out some of the newest satchels available for fall.

Just because a cell phone case goes inside your purse doesn’t mean it should be boring. Don’t settle for a simple black case when you could have something a little more stylish. Check out some of these cell phone cases below that may just rival the style of the bag they will be carried in.

Sure, many women think their handbags are beautiful, but would they go so far as to say they are art? Perhaps if they’re Anuschka handbags.

If you’re not familiar with Anuschka, you’re missing out on a really beautiful brand of bags. Anuschka handbags are made from high-quality, soft cow leather and are hand painted with abstracts and natural scenes including roses, butterflies, and abstract sunsets. From wallets to totes to shoulder bags, you can find a wide variety of sizes and styles and you’re sure to find something that matches your own tastes.

Many of their bags come in a tan leather color (under the painted design), but if you’re looking for something a little darker, check out the Anuschka Crsna collection of ebony bags. I personally love the darker color because it makes the hand painted designs stand out more. Just look how the butterflies and flowers pop off the bag in the bag shown above.

So the next time you’re looking for a bag that’s not only unique, but also a true piece of art, take a look at what Anuschka has to offer.

While designer handbags tend to cost more than other bags, calculating the price of your purse really means taking the price of the bag and dividing it by the number of days you will actually use it. When you do this, you’ll see that spending more on a quality designer handbag that will last you years will save you money in the end. You will also spend less buying purses that can last with the constant change in design trends than you would on cheaper purses that are out of style the minute you walk out of the local discount store.

When making that all important decision on what statement you want to make, always consider the life of the designer handbag as well as the final cost. Durability is always part of the price equation. Well-made designer handbags and totes like Chloe, Fendi, Coach, Jimmy Choo, and Gucci will look better with age and make wear and tear something to look forward too.

Choose purses in a style that can stand the test of time. Some design features never go out of style. High quality, traditional shapes, and cherished designers like those at Coach, Fendi, and Prada look better with age and always blend well with the latest trends.

Investing in quality designer purse cleaners and lotions will extend the life of your bag. Many of the more well-known handbag designers carry lotions and cleaners that can care for leather material for years.

You should also factor in the addition of confidence, style, and durability when justifying your splurge in a well made purse. Determining the value of making a fabulous, all-eyes-on-you statement every time you walk into the room is priceless.

Cole Haan’s Prudence Small Triple Zip Satchel is the perfect fall (or really any season) bag! The beautiful woven leather and gold detail hardware make this the perfect bag for day or night! Plus it is designed with three zippered sections for the safe keeping of all of your belongings. It comes in dark grey and a deep red, which are both conveniently the colors of fall!

Kind of like the LBD (little black dress of course!), a good black leather handbag should be a staple in any girl’s wardrobe. Something that can go from day to night, big enough to hold what you need on a regular basis but not so massive you can carry around a mini-representation of what you have in your apartment.

And like the LBD, your black leather handbag should be a quality piece, ‘cause you know it’s gonna get a lot of wear. Sure, the prints, metallics and all the bold patterns of each season always have their appeal, but realistically, you’re not going to be able to carry that super-statement Ed Hardy bag year in and year out.

With those things in mind, it may be worth making a bit of an investment and in no way am I saying you should take the bland imitation-vanilla route. By mixing a bit of flare with a bit of the classic you’ll find the perfect balance. Take the Betsey Johnson Bowdacious bag as an example and you’ll be headed on the right track in no time!

Yes, it’s true! Check out their new Fall line and see the great handbags you could win. The best part is that you can enter every day until August 15th! Just click the photo above to go to the sweepstakes page. Here are a few bags from their Fall collection:

Tired of bumping into people when you turn in a crowded store? Or you might just want to free up your arms while you move. You could be looking for the convenience of a messenger bag but the smaller size of a purse. Well, look no further than an across-the-shoulder shoulder bag which combines the best of both worlds! With options ranging from MiMo leather bags to the denim Ed Hardy bag or even Whiting and Davis mesh-metal bags, how could you possibly go wrong?
