It’s Time To Hit The Road With The Latest It Bag, The YSL Roady Tote

Yves Saint Laurent Roady toteYSL Roady Tote bag

Since it’s been seen on the arms of everyone from Rihanna to Mary-Kate Olsen, Yves Saint Laurent’s Roady tote definitely wins the title for the newest and latest “it” bag.  And if you’re someone who’s against the notion of “it,” well, turns out you can even get the Roady customized to keep the style all your own (or you can keep things simple and find a deal on ebay).

As beautiful as the Roady tote might be, we certainly won’t hold it against you if you prefer to spring for a lookalike.  We’ve even done some sleuthing – our favorites all follow the chic, simple, square look of the Roady.  First, we’ve got Michael Kors’ Skorpios tote, then Cole Haan’s practical small saddle tote, Lucky Brand’s medium slouch tote (which probably does the best job imititating the overall YSL look), and finally, Banana Republic’s chain leather tote, which is slightly different in shape but perfectly retains the sophisticated feel.

If just looking at the Roady whets your appetite for all things handbag related, check out more big tote bags, designer handbags, and some great options in handbags under $250 in order to get the right bag for you.

This luxurious leather design ($169 from $450) with distinctive braided straps is roomy enough to function as a stylish overnight bag, but sleek enough for everyday use.

Looks Like Carlos Falchi Is A Collaboration Slut

Luxury handbag and shoe designer, Carlos Falchi, is certainly getting around.

Just weeks after the debut of his fabulous Chi by Carlos Falchi collection for HSN, Target has released a line of low-priced satchels, hobos, and shoulder bags by the imaginative Italian.

Falchi may be promiscuous (on the collab front, that is) but he’s also one of many very smart designers who are finding ways to offer affordable luxury in the recession. Once you go faux, you may never go back. So try Falchi’s sexy fake-snakeskin hobo or his funky, gray collage crossbody bag, both available at Target.  Or simply pick out a designer handbag of your own and don’t forget to organize it stylishly.

You Can’t Have Alexander Wang’s $850 Rocco Bag, Even If You Can Afford It

It is, frankly, a really nice bag.

Alexander Wang’s Rocco bag, a stud-bottomed, embossed-lambskin duffle, is “available” for purchase on his site today, but it’s already sold out.

alexander wang rocco bag

If you want to know when it’s back in circulation, set a notification on Net-a-Porter, where the bag is hiding under the name “Coco Mini studded leather bag” – rest assured, though, this isn’t the light-blue leather version that’s usually called the Coco: Net-a-Porter’s description clearly states that this one is black.

Barneys already has a waiting list of over 400 for the Rocco, and Wang says the company is going to have to produce extras just to make sure there’s stock in-store.

If you want your embellished black leather duffel now, we suggest Juicy Couture’s Etiquette Tote or Tory Burch’s Military Satchel – both are about the same size as Wang’s Rocco, and will set you back less than $500.

Deal Of The Day: Take Up To 50% Off Oversized Handbags From Piperlime

Autumn is the perfect time to invest in an oversized handbag. Not only are they very stylish, but a trendy carry-all can safely hold all the season’s necessary items (like your new infinity scarf, those very special leather gloves and of course, an umbrella)  while a really big clutch is, without question, the chicest evening bag around these days. Check out our discounted picks.

hayden harnett handbag

We love Brooklyn-based brand Hayden Harnett for their unusual and fun accessories. This funky leather bag ($225 from $448) has a cool, origami shape and comfortable contrasting shoulder straps.

melie bianco woven dome bag

For a slightly more structured option, try this oversized tote from Melie Bianco ($50 from $100). With both a long shoulder strap and handle with cute braiding details, this style can double as a day or overnight bag.

alexis hudson clutch

If you want your evening bag to make a statement (and it definitely should) go for one of Alexis Hudson’s creative clutches.  We like that this slim design ($250 from $500) has a fun color scheme but a traditional shape.

Take a look at the our favorite totes, clutches and hobos, all compiled in our guides to the best evening bags, overnight bags, and handbags under $250.

Newsflash: Comme des Garcons Is Working Eight Days A Week

Rei Kawakubo, the designer of the esoteric label Comme des Garçons, is also busy working on a side project, a new collaboration that’ll probably be hard not to love.  She’s teaming up with Apple Corps Ltd. (which manages the Beatles’ legacy) to create various Beatles bags, reports WWD.  The bags will launch sometime in November and might be followed by t-shirts.

zimmermann lace cut out bagwest feren backstage bag

We’re not sure whether to expect psychadelic prints or pictures of John, Paul, Ringo, and George, but we’re sure Kawakubo’s totes will be much more exciting than typical concert merch.  While we wait for the launch, we’ll keep ourselves satisfied and vaguely Beatles-esque with this elaborately trippy Zimmermann Lace Cut Out tote and with the aptly named West/Feren Backstage bag.

For more of the best bags, take a look at some designer options, as well as the best fall styles and handbags under $250.

Still suffering from the end of summer blues? A fresh handbag is the perfect way to kick your fall into gear. Check out some satisfying steals on totes and clutches from some of our favorite designers, now half off at Shopbop.

Foley Corinna Washed Bender Bag

Personally, I love an elegant winter white bag, like this slouchy style from Foley + Corinna ($242.50 from $485), all year long. Wear it with dark colors this fall for a striking addition to your ensemble.

Lauren Merkin Tatum Clutch

If you can’t click at the speed of light, then you probably didn’t get your hands on marked down Lauren Merkin during yesterday’s Gilt sale. Have no fear, this clutch ($137.50 from $275) in the designer’s signature shape combines some very chic shades of brown.

Chloe Punch Line Cross

This bold bag from See by Chloe ($197.50 from $395) features patent leather cut-outs backed by a cute floral canvas. We love its unique shape and color and of course, the especially long strap for comfy messenger-style wear.

Like our purse picks? We’ve got many more to choose from in our guides for the best in designer handbags, evening bags, and really big totes.
