I instantly fell in love with this gorgeously-colored butterfly-soft leather Mercel satchel from Hayden-Harnett. It just looks so classy and will go extremely well with a casual wardrobe or something more stylish.
It has two exterior compartments and a convenient central zip main compartment for a woman’s average everyday essentials. It also comes in four gorgeous colors: Goldrush which is a shimmering gold color; Anthracite which is metallic silver; lead which looks like gun metal; and the red currant. All colors come with a 9k gold HH logo plated interior rear zipper pocket! Now that’s classy. I can’t quite decide which color I like more, Anthracite or lead. Now you can get the silver make it shine with a black ensemble. But then the lead-colored one would look gorgeous with black too. They’re both gorgeous! It sells for $486.00 at Hayden-Harnett.
Well, whatever you get, as they say “Style to burn…the MERCER satchel never lets you down for style, function, or versatility.”

I just love big bags where I can put anything and everything I think I need for a day out, phone, PDA, notebooks, the novel I want to read, mp3 player, cosmetics… even my laptop.
This Italian-made Gucci Hysteria tote with double handles and zip top closure looks just about right. It’s just big enough for my everyday needs but not humongous enough to make me look like I’m toting everything but the kitchen sink. It has inside cell phone and PDA pockets to keep your gadgets cozy and safe. You can pair it with a pair of jeans or preppy slacks. Personally, I’d pair it with anything. I love black bags and this one looks so classy, but it just looks so cool in hip gun metal that I might just want to snag one for myself.
Part of the Spring/Summer ‘08 collection, it sells for a cool $1,595 from the Gucci website and at Bergdorf Goodman.

This bag has to be one of the best I have come across in ages. The size is perfect - I have always been inclined to medium-sized and large-sized handbags, maybe because I carry one too many stuff with me! This Hipster Hobo Bag from Juicy Couture is a perennial classic for bag lovers. Other colors available are black, white and brown. However this dark red piece was what struck me the most because it can stand alone as a fashion statement when worn with anything EXCEPT a shade of red. Just fabulous!
A logo-embossed gold tone clip lock is another attractive detail, not to mention the plush leather material used for the whole bag. A side pocket allows easy access to highly used gadgets such as an ipod or a cellphone without having to rummage through the entire bag’s main compartment. The top zip close all the way through for a very tight security measure, and there’s a heart shaped mirror tucked inside for a quick check on your reflection. This bag sells for $350 - so what do you think? =)

Dolce and Gabbana’s newest handbag collection, aptly named One of A Kind, is a hodgepodge of classic styles with a hint of modernized elegance. The leather and suede collection features some of the most basic handbag colors for versatility such as brown, tan, berry or brick red or a combination of one or more of such colors. The result is an amazingly fashionable handbag that could render an instant statement to the user.
I am so in love with the Miss Catch, pictured above. The size is just perfect and the creamy two-tone color is a smooth combination. Suede and croc skin leather is used in the design of this handbag. Though it appears to be an office bag, the Miss Catch can also be a handy carry all on a trip to the English countryside.

More so, it could also be a good option for the wise spenders who are handbag aficionados as the “Abbey” costs only $750!
This classic piece of shoulder bag has double straps attached from the sides of its body, a tab snap closure, Gucci script logo, D ring details, studs and inside zip and cell phone pockets. Its medium size have dimensions 17″L x 4.5″W x 8″H. Other versions of this come in chocolate guccissima leather with chocolate leather trim, black guccissima leather with black leather trim, black GG fabric with black leather trim BUT this beige/ebony GG fabric with dark brown leather trim is a real standout.

So hurry as this doesn’t seem to be the kind that will make it to Gucci’s yearly Sale.
