Tod’s is the leather goods brand known for making elegant, understated pieces that you can look at and just know they cost a good penny. This Large Leather Bag is a great every day bag for anyone looking for a neutral, roomy bag. Available in both black and dark chocolate brown at yoox.com, the price is only knocked down a good amount ($515 from $858), but remember this is a classic bag that you’ll use and love for years to come. I especially like the hardware which is definitely there, but not overpowering.

I just reviewed this bag a few days ago on OC alum Rachel Bilson, and Purse Page readers identified it as the Tod’s Softy bag. Here it is, available at eluxury.com, in a gorgeous soft blush color. This is a great route to go if you already have a closet full of black and brown bags, and need something light, that isn’t white. Pale pink is a neutral that coordinates well with lots of darker shades, and also works surprisingly well year round. The Softy Messenger is on sale for $1,320.

Ignore the blue hair for a sec. Kate Hudson’s once again lucked out with a killer wardrobe for her new film, “Bride Wars,” which stars her and Anne Hathaway as competing brides-to-be. Judging by this on-the-set snap, Kate’s character is a businesswoman with impeccable taste in handbags. The Tod’s T Bag Media Tote is sleek, modern-looking, and polished enough for a professional, and the front’s three prominent pockets provide plenty of storage space for Blackberries, business cards, wedding invitation samples, you name it. If only she had as much luck with colorists as she did with purses…

The Tod’s sale is in full swing, so head over the leather goods headquarters for super luxe understated handbags. Reese Witherspoon and Halle Berry both count themselves as fans of the label and Rachel Bilson was recently seen with one of their new spring bags as well. The sale isn’t only on handbags, but extends to Tod’s luggage and shoes as well, so shop away!

I am such a sucker for all of these fabulous shades of blue that designers are turning out. If you want to get in on the color action, but typically opt for black bags, consider an inky blue like this one to get you out of that rut. The Tod’s Took Sacca Media Bag retails for $1,750 over at eluxury.com and is a perfect work bag. Like all things Tod’s, the handbag is functional, but plenty gorgeous, and made of a great grained leather that can take some serious wear-and-tear. The front pockets make it ideal for city life.

This New Year I resolved to be polished and straight forward and it looks as if the designers at Tod’s read my mind. The Tod’s Restyled D-Bag Shopping Media is beach chic meets 5th Avenue-and they seem to be getting along fabulously! This purse is polished, straight forward, and clean. The perfect combination for a woman whose sophisticated taste is more Katherine Hepburn and less Katie Holmes. The silver matte calfskin with laminated finish and side leather pulls screams Hamptons weekend. Go for it! The Tod’s handbag is priced at $1550 and is available at Neiman Marcus.

It’s tough to do sporty chic, but this Tod’s Nylon Messenger Media Bag does it perfectly. The bright lipstick red color really adds a punch to the utility style and any sporty look. Use it for days you have errands to run before or after your workout, and the easy messenger style leaves your hands completely free. I like that it adds a pop of color since my workout wardrobe consists of black, navy and white, so a shot of red is just what I need to make putting on that gear a little more appealing. Available for $775 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

I love this Tod’s Restyled D-Bag Media. Tod’s does a great job of creating stylish, functional handbags that working women or stay-at-home moms can use and abuse without worrying about the bag. This one is patent and in the shape of a functional tote making it a perfect bag for toting in the city or to a play date. The patent black can go lots of places, but I’d dress up at least a little. This bag isn’t for those who live in sweats, that’s for sure! The Tod’s Restyled D-Bag Media retails for $1,550 at eluxury.com.

Who says black is boring? It’s also slimming, and that comes in handy when you’ve got a bun in the oven like the always gorgeous Halle Berry. Besides, Halle’s Tod’s Luna Nylon Media bag adds enough edge to her all-black outfit to keep things interesting. This modern handbag features gold chain details on the straps and a cool gold zipper along the bottom, plus three zippered compartments on the front. It’s edgy and hip, and just right for a cool mom.

Comment on Halle Berry and her Tod’s Purse in our celebrity style forum

Say what you will about Sienna Miller (no real talent, over-hyped, gorgeous, whatever), her ad campaign with Italian accessory line—and new home to Derek Lam—is stunning. She looks better than she ever has. But better yet, so do the bags. The Tod’s T-Bag Tote is a classic Tod’s style, and with good reason. No, you wouldn’t carry it around from one club to the next at night in a cocktail dress and dangerously high pumps. You would, however, look incredible with this cocoa brown leather purse under your arm at work, shopping, meeting people for happy hour, really any time before eight pm. It has lots of pockets for storing lots of personal effect, so you will never be without your necessities, numerous though they may be. $1,500 at Saks Fifth Avenue
