… also the time for designers to roll out their best fabric handbags, as is the case with this MICHAEL Michael Kors Chunky-Knit Messenger Bag. I’m certainly not about to slap a “best” sticker on this, but it’s a reasonable effort for a designer renowned for his classic, all-American goods. This bag has an earthy quality that resonates from its sturdy brown leather strap to its cream-colored knit (which, as expected, is very well made). The boho-chic gals will love it. Available for …

Leave it to Michael Kors – and just when you thought you’d seen every straw bag there was to see and officially banned them from your wardrobe. From the designer’s reasonably priced MICHAEL line comes the Sloan Woven Raffia and Canvas Clutch, a sleek purse that boasts surprising elegance from every angle. The slinky chain strap can be tucked inside if you’d prefer to carry it by hand, and the combo …

… There’s nothing like a neon green bag to jump start your spring wardrobe and this one by Michael Kors does just that. The Hamilton Frosted Jelly Large North South Tote is a refreshing purse that you can take just about anywhere.

I remember about four or five years ago my Mom mentioned the name Michael Kors to me. She was craving to have one of his logo print shoulder bags for Christmas. No matter what store we went to, she had to pick it up and look at it. At the time, I was head over heels for Louis Vuitton. If a purse wasn’t by Louis Vuitton, I instantly hated it. Kind of immature of me, but I was 21 or so at the time. At that age, I thought the more expensive the purse the …

… I’m (not-so) secretly thrilled that mustard yellow has made a huge comeback. Just look at this Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody. Would it be as cute in another hue? It’s also available in a respectable brown, but the brown’s just not setting my heart on fire quite like this gorgeous mustard is. Besides, a color like this can carry you through all four seasons without making you feel like you’re being too safe with your color choices. Available at Forzieri for $159. …

… with the plethora of jungle themes that sauntered down the spring runways, it’s no surprise Michael Kors gave his Gia bag a safari-style makeover (in fact, Kors’ whole show celebrated jungle chic to the extreme). So it’s also no surprise that the Gia Saddle Leather and Python Shoulder Bag is so sophisticated. For a guy who had a sexy, cutout, python-print swimsuit up his sleeve, surely fashioning an otherwise basic bag into something a little more fierce couldn’t be a great …
