Something of a miniature ’80s explosion, this Fendi Calfhair and Sequin Bag looks like it should be destined for great things. It has that celeb-worthy vibe thanks to its intense all-over gleam and fierce animal stripes. Keep its opulence at the forefront by pairing it with something subdued - or at least low-key in comparison, which shouldn’t be too hard. Bonus: It earns of-the-moment, super-trendy points for its silver chain strap. Available for $1800 at Net-a-Porter.

Talk about a hot Mamma. This Fendi Forever Mamma Bag charms me with its steely gray woven surface, which boasts a subtle monogram print. It’s clean, sophisticated, and a petite little purse to throw on over a charcoal sheath. Love it. Available at Bergdorf Goodman for $970.

There’s nothing quite like a versatile, take-everywhere brown leather handbag for fall. This Fendi Chef Shoulder Bag is a prime example, exhibiting smooth warm brown leather, goldtone hardware, and a snug little flap-top design. Very classic, yet still cool. Available for $1,460 at Bergdorf Goodman.

The doctor is in and the prognosis is good. I love the bold scarlet hue of this Fendi Dr. B Leather Hobo, which boasts ruching underneath a framed top, brass hardware, and buckle details on the straps and sides. I’d pair it with dark blue jeans and a black or navy sweater, just to give the outfit a delicious burst of color. Available for $1,560 at Bergdorf Goodman.

Bring some levity to dull meetings and long workdays with this polished yet fun Fendi Peekaboo Leather Bag. It’s a great alternative to a stern briefcase or a lackluster carryall; this sets a new tone for your wardrobe, with its smooth dark brown leather dipping slightly when opened to reveal a red leather compartment within. If you’re in the market for a new work bag, consider this timeless handbag - you really can’t go wrong. Available to pre-order for $1980 at Nordstrom.

The Fendi Two-Tone Baguette is an updated take of the fabulous classic. This version is super-stylish and bound to turn heads no matter where you take it. The color palette begins with a ladylike eggshell and finishes with edgy black leather accents, a combination that will carry well into fall and pair nicely with your cold weather wardrobe. The chain handle adds a dainty finish. This is one Fendi purse I’m definitely loving. Available for $1350 at Net-a-Porter.

Given that animal prints are so ubiquitous and timeless, it should come as no surprise that this Fendi Animal Print Baguette is absolutely hot for fall. I’m loving the contrast between the purse’s diminutive size and the intense, larger-than-life print. Little flashes of red appear both on the strap and the snap closure, playing sexy foil to the brazen animal print. Available for $1390 at Nordstrom.

Sometimes straightforward chic is just what we need, and in the case of Fendi it’s almost always what we desperately want. I’m no fan of the label’s more adventurous designs, but this staid Marshmallow Flap Leather Shoulder Bag suits me nicely. Made of extra soft leather and bearing the signature logo on the sculptured flap, it’s fashion-forward without being overly ambitious. Its red hue is such a great alternative to everyday neutrals that it easily works well in any situation, and it’s just the thing to add a little polish to a dressed down ensemble. Also in black. Available for $1450 at Nordstrom.

You know Fendi, you love Fendi.  Even if you weren’t always a lifelong fan, Fendi had you at “Spy bag”.  This Italian brand may have been that gorgeous, popular sweetheart you always thought was out of reach, but pine no more.  Thursday 7/23 (the day after my birthday…hint hint), the luxury collection is having a rare online sample sale.  Look for Ready-To-Wear and accessories (bags!) to be severely discounted for your pleasure…Register to shop here.

The Kardashian gals have lightened up considerably since their all-black attire at the Michael Jackson memorial, but Kourtney still has the same purse. Even with her summery white dress, the Fendi To You Clutch’s orange and black color palette turns me off - way too harlequin and Halloween for me. I do, however, love Kim’s Balenciaga purse, which works perfectly with her white tee, cool studded vest, skinny black jeans, and matching stacked pumps. Flawless.
