I’ve never truly believed I’d own a Prada bag, but this adorable Prada Gendarme Stripe Canvas Covered Pushlock Tote makes me think otherwise.

The devil really is in the details. That’s proven especially true by this minimal Prada Canapa Tote, which is decorated with elegant embroidery along the flap. That’s all it needs to go from simple to striking in an instant. The downside? It’s made of canvas, so it isn’t quite as luxurious as it could be. On the other hand, canvas has never looked so luxe! Find it for $1015 at Neiman Marcus.

A surge of color has done wonders for Prada this season. The label’s Canapa and Cinghiale Tote (hemp canvas and boar skin) is a vision in cobalt blue, complete with a sturdy, wide strap that looks far sportier than the bag itself. Detach the strap and you’ve got yourself a glamorous, day-brightening carryall that moves from work to play with ease. It’s a fun bag, but only in this color. Opt for the black and you’ve …

Coach has revamped its beloved Legacy Stripe just in time for summer! This year, the palette on the Weekend Stripe Medium Tote is brilliant – a cheerful array of rainbow-bright hues just made for pairing with chic white eyelet dresses, Lilly Pulitzer pastels and so much more. No matter what you wear it with, though, count on it to capture some attention all on its own. The pattern is so uplifting that you can’t help but smile, …

… really have to love wearing stripes and sequins AT THE SAME TIME in order to appreciate the Resort Stripe Small Beach Tote from luxe-for-less label Deux Lux. I get the stripes – they’re springy, summery and beachy all at once – but the sequins appear distinctly out of place. There are four color variations available, including this dipped-in-red version, but none of them really call my name. Although the concept is intriguing, the execution somehow doesn’t translate well. Available for …

Never, never, never ever could I sport this Prada Eco Mongolia Garden Tote Bag! When I look at it, all I can see is a giant, furry fiasco! Don’t let this photo fool you into thinking this purse is a small ball of cuddly fur either, it actually measures 18″ wide x 9½” high x 9½” deep, making it quite the monstrous mess. Don’t get me wrong, I love Prada and I’m fine with the occasional fur accent, but this bag is a little too …

I’m glad Michael Kors didn’t go too literal with his Michael by Michael Kors Zebra Stripe Canvas Tote. In full blown zebra print, this bag would have been way too cheesy. Instead, we get a thin, unpredictable white stripe that is perhaps even a little more realistic than the cartoonish animal print we’ve become used to. This high contrast bag is a mature and responsible alternative to crazier print purses, and would even be suited for the office. It’s on sale for $180 at …

Trendy? Check. Quality? Check. Convenient? Check, check! This Prada Nappa Antique Tote meets all the criteria for a fabulous fall bag! It features double top handles, a removable adjustable shoulder strap, a magnetic snap closure, multiple pockets, and leather lining. I love the crisp, rich emerald color – it would look positively dashing with my eyes (insert wistful sigh here). Looking to make this bag your own? You can find it on pre-order for $2,295 at …
