When I first saw the Rag & Bone Utility Bag I thought it looked just like a cute, squatty little puppy that wanted to jump on my lap.  But on further inspection, this bag isn’t just warm and cozy; it’s as functional as it is endearing. Pockets on each side give you room to put your cell phone right where you can easily get at it, and you can put your keys in the other pocket. Having easy access to both of these essentials makes this bag a keeper to me already. Add in the fact that it’s reduced at Barneys from $325 to just $129 and it looks like I have my first bag of the New Year!

The Mia Clutch by Kara Ross is one of those bags that will never be out of style. Clutches are pretty basic as it is, so this one is not only a great buy, it’s an investment. The classy purple purse is made of eel skin with a buttery suede lining. I love the color, and the pebbled strip balanced with little buckles on each side gives it just enough contrast to keep it from being boring. Though it usually sells for $775, endless has it on sale right now for $426.25.

 Here’s a great way to start the year off right: catch the Zippy Heart Crossbody on sale and keep it for yourself or tuck it away for Valentine’s Day. The pattern on this purse is made by the zippers lined up on the front. This little cutie is great to carry alone or to pop inside your favorite handbag. Regularly $48, Macy’s has this bag on sale for just $23.99.

Ready, set…go – holiday savings have already begun!

The rush of the holidays is almost over, but the end-of-season sales are just beginning. If you don’t get what you want for Christmas, don’t worry; you will have more than enough opportunity to make things right.

Endless.com has started their sale already, and you can pick up a designer bag at up to 55% off the regular retail price. Here is just a sampling of the array of handbags up for grabs at great prices. Happy Holidays!

If you’ve always wanted a Dolce & Gabbana bag but it wasn’t in the cards, your time has come. The Astrid Tote is a classy and simple bag that will never go out of style. This buttery soft calfskin purse was originally $965, but you can now be the proud owner of one for just $482.40.

The Misha Novelty Bag by Botkier is at first glance a boxy but warm looking satchel, but it can be worn as a backpack or a shoulder bag as well. Interestingly, it was created to resemble a bag made over fifty years ago by the designer’s grandfather. Right now you can get the Misha for $443.50, down from its original price of $635.

There’s no doubt that the Little James Tote  in magenta will pull you out of the winter doldrums. Made from Italian suede, this Kate Spade hottie is simple but vibrant and will give you just the burst of color you might need to pull an outfit together from time to time. At $267.99 this is a great deal, down from the original price of $445.

On the second day of endless.com’s 12 days of Christmas, we found this lovely Cole Haan Bailey Cross Body. This is just a great all around purse, even though it does kind of look like a designer bag for Santa. But not to worry if you’re not crazy about the color red – it’s also available in black. This bag was originally $147.50, but today you can get one for just $69!

Okay, a good deal is a good deal, but reading the customer reviews for what you’re buying can save you money and disappointment. eBags.com is having a sale on Victorinox luggage, and with the busy traveling season ahead I checked out some pieces. The Werks Traveler Exp Carry-on is 52% off the retail price, but more importantly, 11 out of 11 reviews gave it the highest marks – 100%. Those that purchased this carry-on said it was just the right size and they appreciated the high quality. If you’re going on a holiday trip, check out this bag. It’s available in four colors and sells for $239.99.

Saks Fifth Avenue is having a designer sale (up to 40% off!) today and the Carlos Falchi Signature Python Shoulder Bag is just one of the items available. Described as demure, this bag actually looks like a python ready to pounce on its prey. The pearlized python gives this cinched bag just enough glam to get you through the day or night. It was originally $495, but you can get it on sale for $346.50.

If Goldilocks were picking out a computer bag, I’m convinced that this Women’s Ipad Touch and Go Laptop Bag by Rebecca Minkoff would be the winner. It’s not too big and it’s not too small. The light gold color leather is just enough to make this bag look classy rather than brassy, for that matter, and the exotic logo lining looks just glam enough when surrounded by the gold frame. This bag is just right. And it’s on sale as one of the 12 days of deals featured at endless.com. Pick up this gem today for yourself or as a gift for just $59.

You know the glitziest parties of the year will be upon us soon enough, so why not be prepared?  The Cassandra Chain Mail Cross Body Bag by Club Monaco is a nice neutral bag that still packs a lot of glitz, as it’s shaped from antiqued silver mesh. The chain strap makes it convenient to carry, and the fringe at the bottom proves its credentials as a party purse. It was originally $99, but Shopbop.com has it for 50% off ($49.50). Party on!

No, I didn’t pick out Jenni Chan’s Fashionable Luggage Bows 360 Quattro Upright Spinner because it’s the holiday season and red is the predominant color. And it isn’t because it’ll glide easily around with it’s Quattro 360 four-wheel system. It’s not even because it’s on sale. It’s because of all the other bags. If you’ve ever stood in the baggage claim area and watched the parade of dark blue and black luggage go round and round, unsure whether yours was going to be recognizable, you need this. You won’t have to guess which one is yours when this red patent bold bag hits the runway! It really is on sale today at Luggage Online, for just $85.46, so hurry.
