Metallic purses are great, but sometimes they can be a little too shiny. You don’t want to be blinding people every time the light hits your bag. This Emily Cho Folded Metallic Clutch has that shiny metallic look, but without the glare. Silver, gold, and copper come together to make crocodile-stamped leather look rich, inviting, and expensive. Available at Designs by Stephene for $465.

If you think Burberry is nothing but plaid, think again. This Wool and Alpaca Check Bowling Bag blends leather and wool and alpaca and mohair, shapes them into a sharp little bowling bag, and then kicks the result off with a couple of cute little tassels. This is a bag that you carry by the handles to a luncheon or a wedding or sling on with the attachable straps to go hands-free as you shop the day away. Order directly from Burberry for $2495.

Animal prints are a dime a dozen these days, but that doesn’t mean you have to be one of the crowd when wearing them. This Paradox Leopard Top Handbag works a hint of leopard print into its design, but shakes things up with red panels and a distinctive shape for a look that’s at once playful and sophisticated. You’ve got to give it up for a bag that looks amazing with everything from jeans and boyfriend blazers to wrap dresses and knee-high boots. Find it for $129.99 at Lord and Taylor.

This Collina Strada Sierra Bag is the perfect weekend companion. It’s slouchy and roomy, and the tiered geometric detail gives it visual interest that your average bucket bag lacks. The toasty camel leather conjures up visions of chatting over coffee with a friend on a brisk autumn afternoon, window shopping, and picking up some ingredients for a hearty stew at the local Farmer’s Market. Available at Need Supply Co. for $430.

Brahmin calls their Tyler Satchel “the it bag for fall.” I am partial to Brahmin bags, so of course I would have to agree! It’s available in twelve colors, but I’m partial to what I call grape and what they’re calling winterberry. The usual fall colors (cranberry, amber, aubergine) are all here too, but there’s something about winterberry that just seems to pop. Even though this color probably isn’t one you’d quickly add to your wardrobe, because it may seem limited, this sassy satchel would look awesome with a cool pair of jeans or a hot new dress. You can order directly from Brahmin for $335.

The Marcie Embroidered Satchel by Chloe, made from warm caramel-colored leather that’s been given a light and airy look with perforations and embroidery, would be at home in fall, winter, spring, or whatever this is right now. The horseshoe shape is distinctive, and the signature bow-shaped buckles and rolled handles top it off. Neiman Marcus has this lucky bag on sale for $2195.

Do we really need yet another fur handbag? Chances are that if you haven’t yet found one you love, you just haven’t looked hard enough – or, possibly, you’ve been waiting specifically for this Miu Miu Mini Coffer Shearling Bag. If that’s the case, I don’t blame you. Delicate tufts of shearling create an impossibly cozy, comfy-looking bag accented by bold gold hardware. I’m not a fur bag kind of gal, but this would be my pick if I were. Find it for $1350 at Net-a-Porter.

This Givenchy Pansy Print Clutch would be a welcome addition to an LBD, but I can also see it with a beautiful deep emerald dress at a holiday party. We may be headed into the dead of winter, but you can still bring a flower garden around with you all year long. Carry it as a clutch with your evening wear, or make it more casual with the optional shoulder strap. Available at Matches for $952.

Amazing what a scarf can do, isn’t it? Without it, this Jimmy Choo Solar Calfskin Leather Hobo wouldn’t be very interesting at all. With the floral-splashed fabric wound all around the handle, though, it takes on an incredibly exotic, almost Mediterranean-chic appearance. The thing is that it’s so easy to dress up any plain bag with a scarf that this just doesn’t seem worth it in the end. Perhaps it’s only a must for Choo fiends. Available for $1350 at Nordstrom.
