But personally I like the <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/34097?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Miu+Miu-_-Totes&amp;siteID=msyo6fnsbTU-trYMINVopn7VEOJgNaxVCQ#">retro-chic, mod look of Miu Miu's Cutout Bowling Bag</a>. It may be a bit of a literal spin-off of its name but the neutral, simple tones and basic design make it a daily bag for popping around town or heading to a business lunch. The compact size but rounded shape give you ample space to bring your makeup, water bottle, wallet and apple but it isn't big enough to weigh you down or get in your way. For <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/34097?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Miu+Miu-_-Totes&amp;siteID=msyo6fnsbTU-trYMINVopn7VEOJgNaxVCQ#">$1,430</a>, the double zip top closure with padlock, silver accents, and satin lining make for a great basic handbag.

Reminiscent of Santa's red suit this gorgeous crocodile embossed bag is stylish and colorful without being overdone. I love <a href="http://www.whatshauteblog.com/2008/11/versace-kiss-crocodile-embossed-shopper.html">the kissing-mouth shape</a> of the overlapping layers and the subtlety of the Versace name only noticeable by the small plate and 7" intertwined chain handle. With an adjustable or removable 16" shoulder strap this bag can be a functional daybag or flashy evening bag.

This <a href="http://www.barneys.com/Shagreen%20Mini%20Audiere/452113007016,default,pd.html">Shagreen Mini Audiere</a> (in pink) by <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/RYAugousti/">R &amp; Y Augousti</a> might be worth the compromise, though. It's a very structured rectangle adorned with red carnelian embellishments, lined on the inside with leather, and featuring a simple but attractive push-lock closure on the top. Certainly a solid investment if you're looking for an all-season evening clutch that will roll with the fashion trends year after year. $900 %Gallery-37113%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/18/r-and-y-augousti-shagreen-mini-audiere-handbag-of-the-day/">R &amp; Y Augousti Shagreen Mini Audiere, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:02:00 EST.

It zips closed instead of folds over like a typical envelope, and from the pictures it looks like that ends up being a a little awkward. It has a leather pull with an attached silver padlock on the front, a contrast panel and dangling key bell on the back, and (perhaps the best part for me) the interior is lined in a pretty shade of pink silk. $695 %Gallery-36922%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/16/micol-metallic-envelope-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Sun, 16 Nov 2008 17:02:00 EST.

Really. If there's something you want to carry in a Louis Vuitton case, they will probably make one for you.<br /><br /><em>The only criteria-strictly enforced to honor the original spirit of the 150-year-old company-are that the item is portable and that its raison d'&ecirc;tre is transport. "We are in the business of movement," says Patrick-Louis Vuitton, a fifth-generation member of the founding family who oversees all of LV's custom projects. "A special order is a compromise between desires and needs from the client and our aesthetic and technical requirements." </em>- <a href="http://www.mensvogue.com/clothing/threads/articles/2007/03/lv_bespoke_luggage">Men's Vogue</a><br /><br />Louis Vuitton makes about 450 special-order cases every year at their Asni&egrave;res, France workshop. The process of creating a perfect case for a client's needs can take four to five months, but their policy is to never exceed eight.<br /><br />Over the years, cases have been created for everything from hookah pipes to a portable altar for a French priest heading to a desert archaeological dig in the 1920's.<br /><br />Louis Vuitton won't make just anything, though. If they don't like your request (say, to put little LV's all over the interior of your car, a move similar to the one that ended up with Britney Spears o<a href="http://www.luxist.com/2007/11/21/louis-vuitton-wins-some-loses-some/">n the losing end of a Vuitton lawsui</a>t), they'll modify the idea and make a suggestion - their polite version of refusal.<br /><br />[via <a href="http://www.mensvogue.com/clothing/threads/articles/2007/03/lv_bespoke_luggage">Men's Vogue</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/16/how-a-louis-vuitton-case-is-made/">How A Louis Vuitton Case Is Made</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:02:00 EST.

It's the <a href="http://www.eluxury.com/estore/browse/product_detail.jsp?id=11475685">Sweet Box Clutch</a> and the multi-colored acrylic that makes up the hard sides glows with color and depth. The <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Fendi/">Fendi</a> logo is done in vinyl-coated leather and is large enough to take up most of the bag's surface, and grained leather is found on the interior. Other features include a magnetic closure, a gusseted interior pocket, and an antiqued silver link chain strap that can be tucked inside if it's in the way. $1,490 %Gallery-36749%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/13/fendi-sweet-box-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Fendi Sweet Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:01:00 EST.

It's patent leather but there's a subtle crinkled treatment so it's not as smooth and shiny as you might expect, and it has some small but fun details like a tab belt on the back and subtle ruching on the front. It also features two sections, silvertone hardware, and an open pouch pocket on the interior. This pretty little number can be yours for $1,105. %Gallery-36507%<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/11/chloe-patent-leather-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Chloé Patent Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:03:00 EST.

In the tradition of her framed clutches, like this <a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/06/10/devi-kroell-satin-frame-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Satin Frame Clutch</a> we covered in June, we bring you the Silk Explosion Clutch.<br /><br />The Devi Kroell Silk Explosion Clutch comes in purple, saffron and black gold (pictured), and features soft black silk adorned with great big "What struggling economy?" jewels. The detachable chain allows it to be worn as a clutch or an over-the-shoulder purse.<br /><br />The thing I like most about this piece is its versatility. It would go well with solid colored dresses as well as most prints, and could also dress up a heels-and-jeans outfit very nicely, perhaps with a crsp white shirt.<br /><br />The Silk Explosion Clutch is 9" by 4.5", and can be purchased <a href="http://www.devikroell.com/08_new/shop_product.php?id=1&amp;style_id=13&amp;prod_id=54">here from Devi Kroell</a> fo $1,490.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/08/devi-kroell-silk-explosion-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Devi Kroell Silk Explosion Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:01:00 EST.

This season it's all right to wear contrasting metals, so don't worry if you don't have anything to match the exact shade of yellow gold; try copper or white gold to complement it.<br /><br />The bag is made exclusively in a dark blue, one of this season's hottest accessory colors. Dark blue may seem like a difficult color to manage as an accessory; it can clash with denim and look sloppy with a little black dress. Not to worry, this season, you'll find printed dresses with this color in the pattern and you can always pair it with gray.<br /><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446205247&amp;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492709383&amp;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474399545537&amp;bmUID=1225728071189&amp;ev19=2:8"><br />Available from Saks Fifth Avenue</a>, $410.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/04/fendi-pouchette-shoulder-bag-in-blue-handbag-of-the-day/">Fendi Pouchette Shoulder Bag in Blue, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:02:00 EST.

Today we highlight <a href="http://www.whiteandwarren.com/home.php?cat=41">The Hemp Traveler,</a> a weekender bag. This practical bag (except for the color -- I see it getting dirty, quickly), has a hemp exterior and genuine pebble leather trim, and is fully lined with protective nylon. Also: detachable interior zip pouch for everyday essentials, five interior compartment pockets, interior and exterior zip pockets, a detachable shoulder strap, metal feet, and a detachable leather id tag/card holder. Although considered a weekender bag, the way handbag styles are headed in my neck of the woods (big, bigger, gigantic), this could just as easily be a city girl's daytime bag or commuter bag. 22" x 13" x 8", <strong>$595.</strong><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2008/10/31/white-warren-gets-into-the-handbag-business/">White + Warren Gets Into the Handbag Business</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:01:00 EST.
