There have been many variations of the best-selling Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Leather Shoulder Bag (see here, here and here), but this one is by far my favorite. Let’s review: bright turquoise leather, all pristine and aquatic looking, playing host to subtle brown leather trim and light gold hardware. The mental image alone would probably have sold me on it, but fortunately Louboutin did all the imagining for me. I would love to get my hands on this in time for summer! Available for $1495 at NET-A-PORTER.

Why, yes, Christian Louboutin, I’d be more than happy to help you celebrate your 20th anniversary! So glad you invited me to the party – especially since my invite came in the form of the absurdly fantastic 20th Anniversary Artemis Plumes Python Shoulder Bag. Is it even possible to be more daring and glamorous? From the fresh green python clutch to the detachable gold chain strap to the plethora of multicolored feathers adding brilliant pops of color to the entire thing, this bag has it made! How do I know this for sure? I’m totally willing to break my no-python rule. That’s gotta mean something. Available for $8995 at NET-A-PORTER.

My, what big spikes you’re sporting! There’s nothing like a fierce shoulder bag to hog all the attention and make a jaw-dropping statement everywhere you go. This Christian Louboutin Artemis Spiked Watersnake Shoulder Bag definitely qualifies if you’re seeking a Serious Bag with a Serious Strap. Louboutin seems to specialize in things like this lately – basic silhouettes gone wild with some kind of odd shoulder embellishment. I’m totally okay with this as long as the spikes aren’t so sharp they double as weaponry! Available for $2495 at NET-A-PORTER.

Get set for fall’s super-hyped gold trend with a little help from the glorious Christian Louboutin Artemis Fringed Textured-Leather Shoulder Bag. Cascading like a waterfall over your shoulder, the rich gilded fringe adds a dynamic element to this already glitzy purse. In glossy, textured calfskin, it’s a shoo-in for most glamorous bag of the year – but the coat of fringe is an amazing addition that really amplifies its appeal. If you don’t mind turning heads all night long and enjoy being the subject of great admiration (or perhaps envy), you’ll want to throw this on your shopping list. Available for $1195 at NET-A-PORTER.

The Marianne Medium Hobo Bag is a simple but chic colorblock bag that would look perfect with a crisp linen suit. The turquoise base is topped with white pebble-grain calfskin. The turquoise is seen again atop the silver chain shoulder strap. If this all looks too conservative for your style, not to worry: as soon as you unzip this hot hobo you’ll find a cherry red linen lining. You can order this Louboutin lovely at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1595.

Another day, another Christian Louboutin Pigalle Satin Clutch to covet, drool over and fantasize about. Things don’t get much better or luxurious than this – and how could they, when the master of hot heels puts his genius to work? Just like the black and gold versions of this phenomenal clutch, the fuchsia exudes intense sex appeal. The image of the classic Lubu heel pressed into the flap is all the decoration this sleek bag needs. Thanks to its intense color, it serves as the perfect partner for a sleek white sheath come spring – and Lubu heels, natch. Available for $775 at NET-A-PORTER.

The Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity bag has taken on many forms over the years. It’s shown itself to be prim and proper in demure tan, and it’s gone the wild and crazy route in fierce animal skins. The Sweet Charity Python and Leather Shoulder Bag shows off a feistier side, one that appreciates vivacious shots of color and doesn’t shy away from raucous snakeskin. A legitimately bold bag that truly isn’t for a wallflower, this Sweet Charity brings to life any look in a heartbeat. Available for $2495 at Net-a-Porter.

There’s so much I like about the Sweet Charity Shopping Bag I don’t know where to begin. The style instantly appeals to me, because it is what it says it is and it’s built for serious shopping. The large outside pocket in front gives you easy access to keys and cell, so there’s no fumbling around when you need them, and the khaki and tan combo is somehow soothing to me. And even though I’m not a frilly type of person I do love the use of bows on this bag! Carry it as a satchel or use the chain strap and throw it over your shoulder. As if that isn’t enough, the fire engine red lining will surprise and invigorate you. Pre-order from Saks for $1695 and you’ll have a bag that can take you through many shopping seasons in style.
