Not everything in fashion is hard, edgy, and bold. Some of today’s most beautiful designs offer something softer and more feminine (dare we say lady-like?). In fact, this was a recent trend that is carrying on in several top fashion and handbag brands including one of our favorites: Chocolate New York.
If you don’t know Chocolate New York, you don’t know what you’re missing. This truly delectable brand offers handbags that are designed to be both classic and on-trend. With seasonal colors, intricate hardware, and eye-catching designs, Chocolate continues to live up their promise that with their bags, you can “wear your addiction”.
Many of the new arrivals from Chocolate NY stay true to the lady-like theme. These feminine purses come in a soft palette of colors like mauve, white, and pink and offer details like flowers, bows, and lace. They are perfect for just about any outfit whether you want to dress up a pair of jeans, soften your businesswear, or complement your night-out look. Whether you want something overtly feminine like the Roseanne bag with its large floral embellishment or something more subtle like the sleek Elisa bag in mauve, if you are searching for lady-like, you’re sure to find something you’ll love this season in Chocolate New York.
When it comes to handbags, structured style is all the rage. Sure, slouchy hobos can still be seen out there, but what’s hot and trendy are clean lines and defined silhouettes - particularly boxy satchels and crossbodies. It’s all about sophistication and style driven by the shape of the bag rather than flashy embellishments, and few collections embody this more than Cole Haan’s Hayden bags.
The Cole Haan Hayden collection is best described as structured and classic. Comprised of several satchels, totes, and crossbody bags with defined shapes, these bags have minimal embellishment including hardware, letting the shape of the bag speak for itself. Each bag is framed with a lovely snake print which adds a visually interesting detail without taking away from the bag’s timelessness or overall sleek look. And true to Cole Haan’s reputation, these leather bags are made with the highest quality construction and materials.
What you’ll love most about Cole Haan Hayden bags is that they will take you through multiple seasons. These bags are not only constructed to last, they are also designed to be on-trend no matter the time of year. They are available in today’s most popular shapes and because they lack all the flashy details and fad colors, there’s less chance these bags will look out of style in the near future. You’ll also love that this collection includes bags that are not only fashionable for all occasions from casual to businesswear, but they are functional for everyday use.
There are so many different types of laptop bags out there that there is literally something for everyone regardless if you’re a designer diva or a bargainista. Sometimes, however, it can be difficult finding a bag that meets several needs - for instance, a laptop case that’s luxurious, masculine, but not too expensive. Or a stylish inexpensive laptop bag. Well, if you’re in this last group, you’re in luck. We’ve got the perfect bag for you: the Heritage Day One Laptop Tote.
The first thing you’ll notice when you start using your Heritage Day One Laptop Tote is that it has the look and feel of a luxurious bag.

It’s perfect to complement anything from business casual to business formal and is available in two colors (black and red). You’ll also love the numerous interior compartments including a zipper pocket, key fob, cell phone pocket, business card holders, rear compartment for files, and exterior pocket for a newspaper or umbrella. You’ll never struggle to find things again with a bag that has this much organization.
Finally, you’ll love the price. Afterall, we did call this a stylish inexpensive laptop bag (and it turns out, it’s functional too). The Heritage Day One Laptop Tote is availble for a limited time on eBags.com for under $30. At this price, they’re not going to last long so snag yours today before they sell out.

You might not think there’s much to a gym tote - just an open compartment and handles - but with this bag, you’d be wrong. Timbuk2 may have thought of everything when it comes to the Timbuk2 Scrunchie Tote.
The Scrunchie Tote is a roomy, all-around gear bag that does feature an open compartment but other features that make it a truly popular gym bag - particularly among yoga fans. One of the main features you’ll notice is that it can hold a yoga mat. However, it is also versatile enough to hold just about anything you would require for a workout including change of clothing and toiletries. An exterior stash pocket gives you quick access to items like your MP3 player and earbuds, phone, or your gym pass while a hidden zippered pocket is ideal for holding cash and jewelry. The bag even has a TPU base to keep your gear inside dry if you happen to set the bag on a damp floor.
The Timbuk2 Scrunchie Tote is available right now in 5 colors including my favorite - Black/Shocking Pink. Each style also has a printed graphic liner.

Handbags with stripes are nothing new in the fashion world, but we’re seeing more and more stripes among the new arrivals in our handbags category - particularly from designer labels. That got us thinking, why should you carry a striped purse? With all the styles, colors, and patterns to choose from, why do stripes remain a popular design? So we put our heads together and came up with our top 4 reasons to carry striped handbags this season and beyond.
Liven up a solid color outfit: Whether it’s jeans and a solid color top, black slacks and a solid color shirt, or a solid color dress, nothing says “boring” like a handbag that matches exactly. Adding a handbag with bold color and a pattern can take any outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. A stripe pattern is ideal for this purpose not only because stripes are highly noticeable, but because they allow you to carry multiple colors at once. For maximum pop, choose a bag with bright colored stripes like red or even rainbow that stand out from your clothing. If that’s a little too adventurous for your taste, choose a bag with stripes where at least one color matches your outfit (for example, a bag with white, red, and green stripes and the green matches your top).
Look Summery: Whether it’s summer or not, striped handbags always seem to evoke warmer weather. Maybe it’s because they are reminiscent of sailing, yachting, and all things nautical. Perhaps it’s their use of color. But regardless of why, carrying a purse with stripes is a great way to complete a summery look in spring and summer, while on vacation, or any time of year in warmer climates. Whether it’s a summer-specific bag like a beach tote or an everyday bag, you’ll look great when you pair stripes with your sandals.
Be Fun But Not Too “Cute”: There are many ways to add fun elements to an outfit, but it’s also really easy to stray so far into the “cute” realm that you end up looking juvenile. A striped handbag is the perfect way to add a bit of fun and even whimsy to your wardrobe and still remain chic and even sophisticated. These bags are visually interesting and when paired with structured style, high quality materials, and maybe even a designer name, you’ve got a bag that will never be mistaken for a child’s accessory.
Get Noticed: In the right crowd, a designer handbag will get you noticed. Certainly an unusual bag or a neon colored bag will too. However, if you’re looking for an everyday bag that’ll turn heads, a striped purse is a great way to go. Ever notice how easy it is to spot zebras, barber poles, and the American flag? Stripes really stand out particularly in a sea of similar colors.
Below are more of our favorite striped handbags available right now at eBags.com.
It may be January, but Spring Break is just around the corner. Whether you’re heading to a warm beach town, setting sail in a Caribbean cruise, or sightseeing across Europe, we’ve got the perfect travel tote that’ll have you looking retro chic: the Kate Spade Charm Travel Bon Shopper Magazine Tote.
This designer tote will take you from town to the beach and in-between with ease thanks to an open main compartment that’s versatile enough to hold daily essentials or beach necessities. Made from coated nylon and reminiscent of travel magazines of yesterday, it’s also perfect for adding that pop of color to your wardrobe you need when traveling to warm climates (and of course during these gray winter months).
Of course you don’t need a fabulous Spring Break destination to use this bag. It also makes a great everyday tote perfect for running errands, spending time downtown, or commuting to and from work. Stash your makeup, eReader or netbook, iPod, cell phone, wallet, keys, favorite magazine, and more inside and head out the door.
