The Sophisticate

If you like elegance and sleek beauty, try out the Single Bag.  Go for the neutral Blush, Gray or Black for a classic look or punch up the color with Hot Pink.  It has a quilted leather exterior and is small enough to fit neatly under the arm.  The fold-over top has a magnetic lock and gold accents.  The small size of the bag makes it ideal for everyday use and it is couture enough to travel to special events or out to dinner.   Pick up the larger version if you need more carrying space. 

For a hand-held purse, go with the Westside Duffle Bag.  Black quilted leather and gold accents finish off this polished bag with a clasp top and leather-and-gold-chain-weaved handles. 

The Glam Chick

For those of you who like add a bit of metal and shimmer to your style, the Little Metallic Stam Satchel will add just enough pop to your outfit without going overboard.  Everything about this is shimmery metallic, from the bronze quilted leather to the gold chain strap.  The top has a kiss-lock closure and inside is 2 zip pockets.  The bag widens to 12 inches on the bottom with a 9-inch height.  It hangs a foot from the shoulder and comes in a host of colors.  The Stam Satchel also comes in larger sizes with tubular handles and removable shoulder strap.

If you want something more unique, go for the Linda Dreamy Clutch Logo.  This little purse is graphite metallic in color with logo-embossed leather exterior and gold accessories.  The shoulder strap can easily clip on or off and the flap has a tuck plate.  It also comes in a variety of other shapes and sizes to suit your needs.

Attention Hog

Sometimes all you really want to do is attract attention.  Pick up the Sequined Stam Bag in a lovely blush color with tonal sequins sewed to the front, and you will be beating off the admirers with a stick.  It has tubular handles and gold accessories, or hook on the shoulder strap for a hands-free mode.    The lock is a kiss closure and the bag is 10 inches high and almost 14 inches wide at the bottom.   Also try the multicolored Debbie Tuck Bag for more sequins. 

A distinctive item is the Carnaby Patent Shoulder bag, the perfect accessory for the vintage lover.  The exterior is black pebble patent leather (a great texture) with a big, white beaded flower brooch in the center.  The accessories are gold. Try the Black Orchid Patent Shoulder Bag in Coral as well. 

The Investor

You like to buy a durable bag that will be able to come out season after season.  Lucky for you, Marc Jacobs had just this in mind when he made the Lady Drawstring Crossbody Bag.  It comes in dusty sand or red clay pebble leather.  Accents are gold and the unique drawstring top allows for easy access.  It has a lovely buckle detail in the center.  Subdued in style, it will blend well with every season’s trends.   

The Classic Q Bags, like their name suggests, will also be in fashion every year.  They come in a variety of styles, but each one has been tried and tested over the years and keeps coming back.  The frames are generally slouchy and come in super large sizes like the Shopgirl or smaller like the Natasha.  The colors are generally white or black.   

The Functionist

You are someone who does not need any fancy embossing or frippery.  Choose the Sasha Preppy Nylon Shoulder Bag to satisfy your utilitarian fashion sense.  It comes in a bright red or black nylon with gold accents and an adjustable shoulder strap.  The top is a zip-flap and has an exterior pocket.  Excellent for traveling, it has a removable luggage tag.  It is over a foot wide and almost square in shape, giving you plenty of room. 

The Mother and the Packrat

Just what the fashion doctor ordered if you have to carry around a host of items, the Pretty Nylon Eliza Baby Bag is a whopping 21 inches in width and 14 in height with a full 6 inch depth.  With 2 exterior side pockets and a large one in the front, you will never be reaching far for things.   It comes in a variety of fashionable, bright colors with gold accents and knotted shoulder straps with an attachable crossbody shoulder strap.  Also try the Haley Straw Tote and the Preppy Haley Tote if you like extra space.
