Marc Jacobs Stones Paloma Handle Bag

Big stones are always in style. Get your rock on with the awesomely oversized stones on Marc Jacobs’ Stones Paloma Handle Bag. The leather bag has an adjustable studded strap and comes in forest green and wheat. I like it because it looks both modern and retro at the same time, something only Marc Jacobs could pull off with any flair. It’s available from Barneys for $1875.

Dolce & Gabbana Leather Animal Print Handbag

I don’t usually think of handbags when I hear ‘Dolce & Gabbana’, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that these legendary designers have upheld their standard of fine detail right down to their accessories.  Brown cracked leather frames the animal print calf hair on this gorgeous handbag.  Silver hardware and double top handles accentuate the outside of this satchel, while the inside zip and cell phone pockets are practical must-haves on the inside.  Oh, and did I mention the red canvas inside lining?  There’s nothing like an unexpected pop of color to add even more ’sexy’ to an already fabulous accessory. Be forewarned…this handbag will garner envious looks and admiring stares.

COACH Ergo Signature Small Hobo Handbag

Coach’s unmistakable "kissing C’s" (as I like to call them) have surfaced yet again on this eye-catching Coach Ergo Signature Small Hobo Handbag.  I’ve seen this hangbag dangling from a few shoulders in passing, and I couldn’t keep my eyes from zooming in on the bold design.  Perhaps what I like most about this handbag is its versatility.  It’s as much a compliment to a dress, skirt, or blouse as it is to jeans and T’s.  Inside zip pocket, belted detail, and leather trim are finishing details for this fabulous bag.
