Coach Soho Leather Satchel

Could your search for the perfect everyday bag finally end here? Presumably, if Coach has anything to say about it. The Soho Leather Satchel aims to please trend-loving fashion mavens who still appreciate a touch of classic simplicity in their wardrobes. This satchel is smart and practical, loaded with pockets and compartments galore. Red is such a neutral nowadays that this would fit nicely into any woman’s arsenal. It may be basic, but it boasts those little details that make it an intriguing purse. Also in pink, black and saddle. Available for $398 at Coach.

Hilary Duff & Her Goyard St. Louis Tote

Hilary Duff is seriously fond of her Goyard St. Louis Tote - she’s been seen carrying it around for months, which is practically light years in celeb terms. Goyard is an old luxury brand that will never go out of style, so it’s fitting that this particular purse has become one of Hilary’s go-to carryalls. Though she’s not exactly dressed up here, Hilary is one of the few celebrities who almost always looks cute no matter what she’s wearing. In this case, she’s sporting paint-splattered jeans, UGGS, a baggy black top and a Burberry scarf as she takes her dog to the vet. It’s all such a mess on paper, but she somehow pulls off this sloppy-chic thing anyway.

Naomi Watts’s Totes Baby & Mulberry

Kudos to the very pregnant Naomi Watts, who manages to pull off that supermom chic armed with her son Sasha and a lovely Mulberry Mabel purse. Naomi loves her Mulberrys (who doesn’t?), and the bag’s balance between go-go-go versatility and eye-catching details suit her well. It totally makes me want one of my own. The handbag, I mean. Not the baby.

Blake Lively Takes Her Chanel 2.55 on a Date with Penn

Awwww, well isn’t this a pretty picture? A beautiful girl (Blake Lively), a gorgeous boy (Penn Badgely), an artfully posed umbrella, and - ooh, lookie! - a fab Chanel 2.55. Seriously, Annie Liebovitz couldn’t have orchestrated a better shot. It goes without saying the purse is perfection, and Blake and Penn are both dressed to the nines. Now, let’s move on before I start to hate them.
