If you're suffering from a serious lack of cash but are desperate to get your hands on one of this season's 'It' bags, the Botkier Trigger Luxe bag in metallic gold is probably well and truly out of your league at $610. Luckily for you, cheap replicas are cropping up all over, and the best bargain around is the one on the left from ASOS for £15. The straps are different and the colour is duller, but apart from that they've done quite a good job at capturing the look.

I'm doing well today with discovering new names in the world of handbags. Another designer you might not be familiar with is Rachel Nasvik, who has come up with some beautiful textured hobos available through Ravin Style. The star of the collection is this roomy 'Bianca', available in black and red as shown and also in a light brown. Snap it up before Jessica Simpson for $345.
Neiman Marcus have just started stocking Ghurka bags, and by the looks of things, these bags are going to become Bag Lady favourites very quickly! From embroidered leather hobos like this one ($1,095) to deerskin shoppers and huge pocket-laden totes with exotic python trims, these are some seriously beautiful bags in the range (with sky-high prices to reflect that). Learn to love them, you'll be hearing much more about them soon!
When I was in High School, this is exactly the kind of thing the slackers made in textiles lessons. They liked using the glue gun, you see, and none of them cared if they actually passed. This bag may only be $14.44, but let's face it, that's $14.40 too much.
In my dreams Phoebe Philo is my best friend, and she frequently opens the doors to the Chloe warehouse just for me, uttering the immortal words "take whatever you like." If I had room left in my house after hoarding Paddingtons, Silverados and beautiful pairs of jeans, I'd snag one of these $1,500 Hampton Handle bags. Could this be the new new IT bag for winter? Coming to a Kate Bosworth near you soon...
