It’s not just corporate America that’s downsizing - stars are too! Take Demi Moore, who stepped out with her tres petite and tres adorable Yves Saint Laurent Mini Downtown Tote. I love the original Downtown, and could see how a smaller bite-sized patent version would be convenient, but I think when all is said and done, I’d rather have the big one. What do you think? Does size matter? Is the mini version too “little girl”? Or can Demi have her Ashton and her tiny handbag too?

Is it just me, or is fringe all over the place right now? And speaking of things that are all over the place, here’s little Lindsay Lohan with a brown suede fringed handbag of her very own. While it’s not something I’d pair with an all-black outfit (leggings again?!?), but I dig the purse’s bohemian edge, which is just right for the approaching summer. Very peace love and happiness, don’t you think? Now, who’s the designer?

Hmmmmmmmm. Now what do you suppose you could wear this little purse with? After all, with its Palm-Beach-meets-Guantanamo-Bay print, the Chloe Sally Shoulder Bag doesn’t exactly offer a lot of wardrobe mileage. Though I’ve always been found of the boxy Sally design, and I know tribal prints are hot right now, I just don’t think the combo really works. I know I certainly wouldn’t pay a fortune to wear a handbag that would emerge from my closet maybe once or twice. Would you? Available at Net-a-Porter for $2,560.

Oh, that lucky duck. Not only is she eternally chic and staggeringly cool, but that Brit goddess Kate Moss also has a rather crafty designer handbag supplier. Last time we saw Kate the Great she was waving around her limited-edition Gucci Sloaney bag; now, it’s this lovely black Louis Vuitton Suede Asphalt Purse, part of a collaboration with director/style icon Sofia Coppola. Not only does the handbag perfectly suit Kate’s style, but it’s also amazingly versatile while staying totally luxe. Color me jealous.

“Prada” and “denim” are two words you usually don’t see in the same sentence, and yet, here they are. This blue Prada Vitello Shine Tote boasts denim-effect calf leather and a slew of eye-catching details, such as a hanging gold chain (which can be removed, by the way) and sassy diagonal zips. It’s pretty trendy for Prada, with a youthful spirit that’s sure to win over Hollywood’s reigning teeny-bopper starlets. I think I might prefer the Vitellos minus all the extra details, but what do you think? Available at Neiman Marcus for $1,895.

The super-chic Kara Ross Gemma B Python Clutch makes ample use of one of the season’s hottest hues and dresses it up a little with a polished stone. I’m loving the ebullient turquoise hue, perfect to wear with your entire spring wardrobe, and the addition of the hematite stone adds a stark point of intrigue. So many exotic skins are over-the-top in their presentations, but this clutch falls somewhere in the middle, embracing glamour but maintaining a look that’s practical for any time of day. Available for $815 at Net-a-Porter.

I love a good Kylie Minogue sighting, and this latest batch of photos doesn’t disappoint. The Aussie superstar looks chic (as usual) in her summery white frock and nude heels, all accented nicely by her mini-sized Yves Saint Laurent Downtown purse in a brushed gold. It’s all very goddess glam, and I think she looks fantastic. I’ve never been a huge fan of miniature handbags, but I guess when you’re as tiny as Kylie, that’s the only option.

Dane Kruger has really emerged as one of the new designer handbag-obsessed starlets. We’ve seen her with Goyard, we’ve seen her with Alexander McQueen, and now we’re seeing her with Chanel. Of course, Diane’s eclectic fashion sense means she’s not going to go for the classic black quilted 2.55, but rather this funkier embellished version. Hey, I can get down with originality. What I cannot get down with, however, are those harem pants. Please burn these now.
