I unofficially nominate the La Regale Clutch as my favorite purse for the holidays. It’s red and sparkly and fun yet dressy. Let’s face it, the holidays are really the time when we get dressed up the most. This awesome Christmas clutch deserves to hit the party scene. The red satin is sleek and sexy and the crystal pattern makes it modern and interesting. If you’re looking for a little more drama, you can also pick up this pretty purse in black. Net-A-Porter is selling this bag for $517.

“Petunia Pickle Bottom? Don’t they make diaper bags?”

“Yep.”

“THAT is a diaper bag?”

“Yep.”

Kate Spade‘s color of September was ruby, which led to an influx of peppy bags in variations of one of my favorite, outrageously bright hues. I wouldn’t exactly call the lush suede on this Kate Spade Algonquin James Tote “ruby,” but it’s extremely attractive nonetheless. The perfect complement to a dark charcoal or inky black wool coat, this smart tote performs like a pro and exudes nothing but pure elegance. Find it for $545 at Kate Spade.

Everything about this Vince Camuto Jane Satchel reminds us that we need to take more time out to drink lots of red wine. It’s even kind of shaped like a luscious round wine grape ready to be squished, fermented, and poured into our waiting, eager mouths. Where will we carry this embossed leather beauty with its gold chains and tassels? Wine tasting, of course! Get it at Designs by Stephene for $285.

If you like to get wild, but in a subtle way, check out this Terzetto Loreto Handbag: it’s a demure color overlaid with a mischievous snake print. We love that we can choose whether to carry it as a tote or sling it over our shoulder with the removable strap, and we can’t wait to take it from a day at the office to a night on the town. Nab it at Designs by Stephene for $425.

So this bag has nothing to do with the new trends this fall. It’s not red, it’s not a clutch, and I don’t see any exotic snakeskin anywhere. But even if it’s under the season’s runway radar, I really like the Amazon Life New Unconstruction Medium Hobo.  I find the colors harmonic, the pattern balanced, and the whole… happy. If you agree, head over to endless.com and order one for yourself for just $115.
