Yes, it’s pretty kitsch, and it’ll have a strictly novelty value for many of you, but if you love London (or if you just love Lulu), this little black cab clutch could be a lot of fun, and add a quirky touch to evening ensembles.

It’s £229, which is a little pricey for something so small, but if you think it’s perfectly formed enough to justify the cost, you can pick one up at John Lewis.

It’s cute, it’s green, it’s a little bit preppy…it’s even fairly reasonably priced, at £135,

It’s Ri2K’s green ‘Ariel’ bag (also available in black) and it’s available at John Lewis. What do you think?

It’s a little-known fact, but The Fashion Police have a bit of a weakness for Things That Look Like Envelopes. So, even although this bag isn’t new, when we spotted it on sale at Bluefly for $316, we knew we’d found our Handbag of the Week.

Like it? It’s by Yves Saint Laurent (obviously) and you can buy it here.

It’s starting to feel a lot like Springtime… or at least it would be if it would just stop snowing, even for a few minutes. This little Lulu Guinness handbag, however, is decidedly Spring-like, combining two things that always start to turn up as the weather grows warmer: dots and bows! That’s a winning combination for us, and this bag is also a little bigger than it looks in the image, so while it would come in handy for special occasions, it wouldn’t have to be relegated to the back of the closet the rest of the time either.

It’s £195 from My-Wardrobe.

Handbag of the Week: Rocio ladybug bag

This bag will be either super-cute or unbearably child-like, depending on your perspective. If you’re leaning towards the former point of view, however, it’s £235 at Far Fetch. Enjoy!

This bag from Faith is about as “girlie” as it gets, although it’s also available in a black version, which is just a little bit less saccharine (although not much, it has to be said).  Many clutch bags are too small to be anything other than a pretty decoration, but this is an over-sized one, which hopefully means it’ll be large enough to carry at least some of your daily cargo without too much trouble.

Like it? It’s £30, and you can buy it at Faith.

We may not have loved his heart-embellished shes earlier this week, but we have lots of love to spare for this Marc Jacobs handbag, in a beautiful pale-blue leather. The whole feel of this bag makes us think of Springtime, and the silver fan detail on the front adds a touch of interest to it, too. Gorgeous: good to see you back on form, MJ!

It can be hard to find a leather satchel that costs less than £100 – and they often cost even more than that. This one from ASOS, though, is only £65, is real leather, and comes in a nude colour that will work with more or less any colour you happen to be wearing at the time. (It’s also available in lime, if you prefer a bit more colour.) Roomy and classic, it’s the kind of bag that looks like it’ll get better with age, too.

Get it here.

Handbag of the Week: Harveys Seatbelt Bag

We have a feeling this handbag will be a little controversial, because this bag? Is made out from old seatbelts. Yes, seatbelts. The kind you find in your car. We probably wouldn’t have guessed that was the case: it’s definitely much nicer than most recycled fashion items, and we bet it’s very hard wearing, too.

Would you want to carry around a bag made out of seatbelts, though? If you would, these come in a range of colours and styles: this one is $97.90 from Zappos.

Look, Colette, you can call it a “waist bag” and charge $300 for it all you like, but WE’LL still call it a crime of fashion and throw it into the ’80s throwback’ section of the Fashion Police jail, got that?

We sincerely hope this design is ironic, and not a sign that bum bags/ fanny packs/ whatever you want to call them are about to make a return to mainstream fashion, although at that price you’d have to be taking your irony pretty seriously. If you do, you can buy this here.
