A good handbag is like man candy on your arm. Whether you sport a swingy, roomy hobo or a chic clutch that’s so Sex in the City Samantha, a bag not only completes your outfit, it defines your sense of style.
Some of the handbags we’re loving right now include the Carlos Falchi Mark Rio Ready mini bag (think of a sparkling disco ball on your arm), and Rebecca Minkoff’s new upscale collection.
Rebecca Minkoff’s new upscale handbag collection will retail at Saks Fifth Avenue and is a response to her venerable following of her moderately priced items (think $195-$600). The new line will feature plush leather, rose gold hardware and some seriously luxe calfskin leathers. These new handbags will retail for a mere $2,000 or more at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Another cute, almost flapper-style bag we’re seeing is the fringed Boyy Bags (Franc style) which are both chic, cheeky and flirtatious for the summer:
And in case you’re feeling a little bit more conservative and peppy, try this granola-gal friendly, boho chic bag from J Crew that’s only $258 but looks like a million dollars.
So tell us, what handbag are you going to sport this summer?

“A mere 2,000 or more?” Come on. Do you enjoy alienating and offending your readers?
From Charu Suri:
Neither! It was a joke, and should be viewed as such.
