It’s hard to escape studs at the moment: they’re on everything from shoes to bags to dresses to harem pants… the list goes on. While the look is getting just a little tired in some cases, though, we can still find some room in our hearts for this Roberto Cavalli messenger bag, which is nicely slouchy, and with just enough studs to keep it up to date, but not enough to make it a one-season wonder.
That’s a good job, too: for £1,275 we’d definitely one more than one season’s use out of it!

Sequins! Crystals! It’s the perfect party clutch, and God knows, we’re going to be seeing enough of them in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This one is by Malene Birger, and is £200 at My-Wardrobe.

We weren’t totally sold on this bag at first glance, but the lovely metallic leather won us over. And, being the fidgety type, those strips of leather would be perfect for fiddling with. This is also available in black and white or just plain black, and is £682 at Luisa Via Roma.

This bag was nominated for HOTW by Fashion Police reader Raechel, so we’re going to let her tell you why she thinks it deserves the title:
Raechel says: “I feel I need to nominate this gorgeous bag of the day from Paul & Joe (in pink), I think it’s a fantastic versatile piece which would easily see you through autumn/winter, and straight through spring/summer 2010 as well!”

Something a little bit different, and a little expensive, than our usual HOTW selections. This star bag is £24.99 from River Island.

Seeing as it’s October now, and Halloween will soon be on us, we thought we’d pick a handbag with a vaguely gothic feel to it. Vivienne Westwood’s patent ‘Orb’ tote comes in a suitably sombre black, and will take you anywhere. Or you’ll take it anywhere, rather. Which is a good job, because it’s £676.

 We’ve made this image a little bigger than usual because this is one bag that you really need to see up close to get the full effect: in fact, we’d recommend a trip to Net-a-Porter to use the zoom facility there, although what we’d really like to do is touch this one and find out what hundreds of little gems feel like when they’re stuck to a bag like this.
As for what they look like, well, the evidence is before you. We’ve been seeing gems stuck to shoes for years now, so we guess it’s only fair that handbags should get their turn to be decked out in a similar fashion. This is certainly a dazzling bag to look at – probably literally so if you tried to gaze at it in strong sunlight – and it has a dazzling price, too: it’s $2,995 at Net-a-Porter.

We set out to find a handbag under $100 this week, and came up with this Melie Bianco tote, which comes in at just $79, leaving us with cash to spare. We, naturally, love the teal colour (and so did Rachel Zoe, actually: this was one of her Piperlime “Top Picks”. Should we be worried about this, we wonder?), but it’s also available in tan, black, pewter and gold. We’re spoiled for choice.

Jimmy Choo – best known for shoes, but pretty handy with the ol’ handbags, too, as this ‘Blythe’ bag demonstrates. At £1,150 it falls into the “fantasy” category for most of us, but if you do want to try and justify a purchase, it’s the kind of handbag you’d probably have forever, be able to carry everywhere, and which would comfortably hold all of your daily essentials. Oh, and if you don’t like the colour shown, it’s also available in black, which would possibly be more versatile.
If all of that convinced you, you can but it direct from the Jimmy Choo website.

Ooh! Presents! And it’s not even our birthday! (Not until the 26th, anyway. We’ll be three.) We think, on balance, we’d probably prefer a box with something in it as opposed to a box that just looks like it might have something exciting in it, but if you’re a handbag addict, or know someone who is, these cube purses by Yazbukey look like they’ve already been gift-wrapped. They’re £163 and you can buy them here.
