Texture is in this fall and, if you’ve noticed, there seems to be a lot of puff. From Chanel to Miu Miu to Louis Vitton to Cynthia Rowley, everyone seems to be into this quilted look. Net-A-Porter is showing this black leather Marc Jacobs Mayfair shoulder bag with gold hardware and a chunky chain link strap. I think it’s really classy, but for $895 I’m not sure it’s worth it. But with some quick internet surfing I found a similar bag at Fashion Flaire for $49.99. It’s not leather, but so what–it’s so hard to notice the faux half the time, anyway! Plus with the number of bag peddlers on NYC streets, everyone in the world is carrying a faux something! So, if you can’t swing for the pricier styles–look for something similar before you break the bank.

Roling into fall season with a Burberry plaid duffle bag means you’ll stay organized and looking sharp, regardless of the brisk weather ahead.
This PVC number is designed to carry everything you need for an afternoon about town. Two cell phone pockets means there’s plenty of space for the PDA and iPod, and adjustable side straps make it simple to expand the size–what better way to stash your pair of Louboutin’s for those after-work plans? With rolled handles and snappy detailing, this one’s a casual, but chic accessory that provides yet another excuse to flaunt some Burberry print.

With her new fashion line, Spice Girls reunion, and (how could we forget?) hottie hubby, Victoria Beckham is really hitting the mark on living the life of glamour. A true trend-setter, she was recently spotted sporting a custom-made pink ostrich Hermes Birkin bag to coordinate perfectly with her curve-hugging pink frock. If you love this style, but, like me, can’t even dream of affording it, or don’t want to advocate buying ostrich skin, then try the chic Accessory Bug faux ostrich tote, above, for $56.99.

This Gucci Britt Tote in black dialux fabric with patent leather trim is the perfect way to wear sleek black patent–the hottest trend of the season.

It goes with everything. It’s conservative enough to wear to the office or out to a swanky restaurant for dinner. This is the must-have Gucci bag this fall, even if it is $1,150.

Since it’s time to set that fall wardrobe aglow with the latest roundup of metallic accessories and clothing, a metallic tote bag in a fresh new shape is sure to turn some heads. This round Julia Cocco Bag is a unique find, with gold pebbled leather surface and smooth detailing. Leather straps, goldtone metal, and a convenient front-zip pocket offer just enough space for all your makeup needs on the go, and the tote itself is only 7.9” (20 cm.) high.
The finishing touch is a signature luggage tag where you can include all necessary information should your newest prized possession get lost in the throes of shopping crowds. Also available in matte silver if gold isn’t your top choice in metallics this season.

Work-hard, play-hard fashionistas—get ready! Silvia Venturini Fendi’s life-changing creation, the transforming To You bag, comes out in stores in September. It’s a chic shoulder bag by day that folds into a trendy clutch by night. Perfect as a handbag for both the workplace and a night on the town, this is a great accessory for those who don’t have time to run home to change between calling it quits at the office and meeting friends for drinks. The size seems just large enough to fit your wallet, cell phone, camera, and lip gloss, while still able to pass for a sleek, under-arm clutch. Plus, its unique ’70s geometric design features an array of colors to complement almost any outfit.
