Monserat De Lucca Besso
Wow. Is there anything slouchier than this shoulder bag from Monserat De Lucca? I challenge you to find it.
The Monserat De Lucca Besso is available in 7 lovely colors including the rich, jewel-toned purple shown here, this microfiber bag with leather handle includes a leather security pouch and top closure (dog-clip closure).
What I love best about this bag is that it has such a lovely drape that it’s perfect for a day out or a special evening. It’s truly an eye-catching piece.

Salvatore Ferragamo Marissa Plume
If you just can’t wait for fall collections, you’re in luck. Neiman Marcus has made many fall 2010 handbags available for preorder now. This includes the luscious leather Salvatore Ferragamo Marissa Plume bag.
Haven’t seen the Marissa Plume yet? You’re in for a treat. Gold hardware meets a rich chocolate brown in what can only be described as haute couture. A lovely woven trim adds texture and definition while the gathered bottom softens the overall look of the bag. It’s truly a stunning piece.
Preorder the Salvatore Ferragamo Marissa Plume at Neiman Marcus for $1650.
Kate Spade Flicker Metallic Bon Shopper
I love a shiny bag. Normally I mean patent, but in this case I metallic.
The Kate Spade Flicker Metallic Bon Shopper is bling at its best. It’s unassuming and sophisticated and yet makes a statement.
This tote features a hidden magnetic top closure, two interior slide pockets, back wall zipper pockets, double handles, and a fully lined interior. It’s the perfect bag for everyday or nights out.
Find the Kate Spade Flicker Metallic Bon Shopper at eBags.com for $225.
Rebecca Minkoff Darling
Why do I still love the Rebecca Minkoff Darling? It’s not exactly a new bag. It’s been spotted on the arms of celebrities like Hillary Duff and Avril Lavigne. It was a bestseller for 2009 and probably will be a big seller in 2010.
Perhaps it’s the way that the bag is slouchy yet super cute. I’m not big on slouchy hobos but this bag has a bit more structure. It’s not floppy or sloppy. It’s lightweight, sleek, and has just the right level of embellishment including two fringe features on the sides.
Perhaps it’s because it’s designer style for less than your average designer bag. You won’t pay upwards of $1000 for this bag. Nope. Try under $500!
Well, whatever the reason, this bag continues to catch my eye – so much so that I just bought it. If you like it too, you can find it at eBags.com for $495.

Dior Chri-Chri Small Shopping
I’m not really one for quilted bags, but this one is so sexy you’d hardly know it was made to look quilted. The Chri-Chri from Dior is made from quilted leather and is available in beige or black. It features gunmetal hardware which includes a chain with a padlock and key.
What I love about this bag is that it is a shopper that’s great for everyday, but is far from ordinary. The textured material and chain add a level of uniqueness that is hard to find on other bags.
Find the Dior Chri-Chri Small Shopping bag at Neiman Marcus for $2,750.
Kate Spade Jamesport Kenzi
Muted metallic handbags are all the rage this season. They key is to pair them with a strong solid. For example, the Kate Spade Jamesport Kenzi would look great with a black pencil skirt and a bright blouse. Complete the sophisticated look with a smart pair of heels.
What I love best about the Kate Spade Jamesport Kenzi is how simple yet stylish it is. A classic silhouette is accented with two vertical braided lines. Double handles and a strap allow you to carry the bag close to your body or loosely on the shoulder while metal feet on the bottom of the bag protect it when you set it down.
Elaine Turner Ella Snake Leather
Normally I’m not one for pink handbags, but the Elaine Turner Ella Snake Leather bag has definitely made my wishlist. It’s got a great shape, a lovely material, and a bright color.
Made from 100% genuine snake leather, this handbag has double handles plus an 18 inch strap, gold metal hardware, and several interior pockets. And like all Elaine Turner handbags, it comes with the signature pink crown lining.
Although the bag also comes in Chocolate, the Pink version is a great choice for spring. Whether you choose to pair it with a T-shirt and jeans or a white summer dress, the Elaine Turner Ella Snake Leather in pink will complement the outfit with bold color.
Judith Leiber Goes Exotic
We’ve talked about Judith Leiber several times here. You probably know her for her novelty bags (think crystal bags in the shape of roses, hearts, birds, and more). Well, these are not all Judith Leiber is about and certainly not all the brand should be known for. The Spring 2010 Collection is filled with truly stunning designs that are instant winners in my book.
Take, for instance, the Judith Leiber New Bean. It’s truly an elegant clutch for any springtime event. The bright blue color is definitely on-trend and the hand-dyed python material will certainly turn heads. Similarly, be sure to check out the Judith Leiber Sevilla which also comes in a lovely bright color (Amethyst) and is made from exotic hand-dyed python.
Both bags are available at judithleiber.com where you can also see other bags from the Exotics collection.
Vince Camuto Ruffled Clutch
The Vince Camuto Ruffled Clutch is the perfect spring clutch that’ll take you from day to night – from errands to special occasions.
Why do I say that? Well for two reasons – color and design. The colors (available in black, blush, and bone) are neutral yet not boring which means this bag will look great with just about anything. The colors are also not too bright for night but not too muted for daytime.
Regarding design, well, anyone can make a versatile wristlet, but this is something special. What Vince Camuto has done is take a relatively simple shape and turn it into something elegant with ruffles. The lovely ruffled design on the front flap adds a level of sophistication to the bag that not only reminds me of spring flowers, but also flowing dresses. So, once again, you have the day with the evening in one bag.
The Vince Camuto Ruffled Clutch is also a great bag for wedding season. It’s perfect for bridesmaids and wedding attendees alike.
Find this bag at eBags for $170.
Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper
I saw a tweet about this bag recently and fell 100% in love with it. So, naturally, I had to share it with our Handbags.com readers. It’s the Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper.
What I love about it is that it’s the perfect spring handbag, but it’s also a great bag for going out at night. Normally you might not think of black when you think of spring handbags, but the bright flowers of the floral print certainly add that spring/summer element. And while you might not think of flowers when you think of a bag for going out at night, the black color brings that night element to the print. So it’s actually quite the perfect combo.
The Fendi Floral Zucca Shopper is available at Neiman Marcus for $990.
Jimmy Choo Fringed Snake-Woven Suede Tote
Jimmy Choo shoes and handbags are considered by many to be in the upper eschelon of couture. I know I’ve seen my share of drool-worthy Jimmy Choo bags. So when I saw this fringed tote, I wasn’t surprised that it is almost like a work of art.
The Jimmy Choo Fringed Snake-Woven Suede Tote is a beautiful suede bag with snakeskin detailing and leather lining. It has multiple layers of texture (woven, pinked, fringed) that add to its uniqueness and make the bag a real eye-catcher. You can find it at Neiman Marcus for $1695.
Cole Haan Britney Belted Tote
Belts aren’t just an accessory for your waist. They also look cute cinched around a designer handbag. Take the Cole Haan Britney Belted Tote for example. Without the belt, it’s a cute tote with stud accents. With the belt it becomes a curvy silhouette with even more style.
The Britney Belted Tote is a great choice if you’re looking for a designer handbag that’ll last you a while. It’s not only a quality bag, but it’s also a timeless design that won’t go out of style anytime soon.
Find the Cole Haan Britney Belted Tote at eBags for $398.
