Steve Madden creates handbags that are amazingly stylish and durable for less than the price you would expect. Some would say the designs are actually copies of higher end brands. But that is why Steve Madden is so sellable!
Here’s another Steve Madden collection that is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months. These are bright patent tote bags in gorgeously vibrant colors. There is obviously a lot of room in the bag, which makes it perfect for getaways and weekend trips.
It’s not totally a casual bag, however, as the detailing, such as its metal hardware on the straps, delivers a hint of sophistication. The handbag looks very chic but functional and for just under $100, it’s definitely a bargain!
You can get this at Dillards.

The Flamenco handbag is a favorite design:

Loewe’s Flamenco Handbag
An attractive handbag perfect for someone with an edgy style. This is made of genuine Italian lambskin. The quilting to the front and back is layered and looks like steel to me. But this is actually a really soft bag with a top handle and adjustable shoulder straps. This would look great with jeans and an all-black ensemble.
You can get this from Zappos Couture.
Botkier Leela Tote
The woman on the go needs more than 24 hours in her day. She needs 31 hours, hence this handbag from 3.1 Phillip Lim just about sums it all up.
This piece is a weekender befitting towards the woman who gets plenty of things done. The handbag features a top zip opening, with extended handles, which you can wear over the shoulder. Obviously, this handbag offers a roomy interior and can be folded up in case she needs the extra space.
Coming in pretty colors, this is priced at around $750 and is availalble at Barneys or Net a porter.
The 31 Hour Bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim
I saw this photo of Blake Lively from the set of her Gossip Girl series, and I was instantly drawn to the handbag she was carrying. I think it was because I liked the subtle color combination of it, with its blue top handle, orange straps and a black and tan body. I also like the sturdy form of the satchel, which is another plus for me. It adds a lot to the bag’s functionality.
This is how a designer applies colorblocking to perfection. This handbag looks tailored and well-put together that the crazy but subtle mix of colors even highlights its style.
The Fendi Chameleon Duffle Satchel is available at Sak’s and also comes in different, but safer color combos. I love this particular combination best.
