Fendi Medium Buckled Patent Shoulder Bag

To me, a handbag is more than just something to carry your wallet, cell phone, lipstick and iPod in – it’s got to have class, style, and edge. Luckily, Fendi gives a girl all that, and more. How could you resist this beautiful shoulder bag? Not only does it have class, found it its gleaming black or dark-brown patent calfskin, but it also has beautiful golden hardware and an elegant double front strap closure. It’s got the style in its oversized buckles and signature logo prongs (because hey, if you’re going to carry Fendi, you’ve got a right to shout it out to the world), and if that wasn’t enough, it gives you edge with its chain shoulder strap with a leather handle. Girl, break out your sexy black boots and hottest club outfit, because with this bag, you’re guaranteed to pick up tonight!

Okay, so it’s got class – it can hold its own on the runway and in the club. How about when you’re heading to work or just walking the city streets? The understated design means that you can carry it with basically any slightly dressy outfit. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this handbag is going to set off virtually anything you wear. If that’s not enough to convince you that this is the magical bag, well, I’m afraid you’ll just have to find out for yourself. I found this beauty at NeimanMarcus.com for a staggering $1730.00 – but really, a bag that can do all this deserves an upper-crust price.

I found another shoulder bag with a chain strap and gleaming patent leather exterior from Kenneth Cole New York. His framed satchel has pewter tone hardware, a double chain shoulder strap, a top tab with a magnetic closure, and an innovative interior lining that allows you to hold everything you need and keep it in place. Find it at Zappos.com for $231.95.

Rafe makes a shoulder bag that’s smaller than the Fendi, but just as sexy. The Lucy shoulder bag is made with patent leather, rabbit fur, and suede (wow!) and has a silvery chain strap and hardware. It’s about three and a half inches deep and eleven inches wide. The trendy buckle and six-inch shoulder drop makes this bag perfect for an evening out or just for a regular day in the city. I found it at Endless.com for $395.00.
