Whimsical handbags are bags that have fun and fantastical elements incorporated into their design.

Ashley M bags are by far some of the more unique styles you’ll find on eBags. From bags with clocks to bags featuring legends like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis, when you want something different, take a look at the Ashley M collection. One of my favorites right now is the Ashley M Metallic Fish Purse. Just as the name suggests, this mini bag looks just like a fish down to the metallic color, scales, fish tail, and the bag opening which resembles the mouth. Carry by hand or wear across your body at your next special event and you’ve got a truly unique evening bag that’s sure to make people smile. |

Nothing says summer like a swimming pool so it stands to reason that a bag that looks like a pool is the perfect summer bag. This is exactly what you have in the Kate Spade Pool Party Pool Clutch. The print on patent leather looks just like waves in a pool and the clasp resembles a pool ladder. Whether you choose to carry this as a day clutch or use it for evening events, you’ll appreciate the high quality construction and the whimsical detail this bag offers. |

Sometimes whimsy can be about fun details. The Mellow World Pearls Fashion Shoulder Bag features colorful pearl-style buttons on the exterior that are reminiscent of candy buttons - yep that retro candy you eat off the paper. Colorful and fun, you’ll love the nostalgic design combined with a trend-right chain handle and functional large main compartment. |

Speaking of times gone by, if you’re looking for whimsical meets retro, you’ll love the Prezzo Acrylic Photo Double Handle Shoulder Bag. The Romance style features a black and white photo of a happy couple embracing - a scene reminiscent of photos from the 40’s and a scene oft repeated throughout the years. You can’t help but smile when you see this design. |

This bag is so sweet you might want to eat it. Well, not really but it might get you in the mood for some fresh summer fruit. The Global Elements Suede Sequin bag is the closest you can come to wearing a strawberry without dressing like one. The bold red suede and red sequins are accented by whimsical green leaves to complete the look. |
 Tumi Dror (or Dror for Tumi as it is something referred to) is one of Tumi’s newest collections and is the result of collaboration between Tumi and international design artist Dror. Together they sought to create bags that move effortlessly with you from office to evening, from home to the streets to the airport, and in between. Each bag combines style and elegance with functionality and was made with single needle tailoring and unyielding attention to detail.
While it has the same exceptional craftsmanship and design you’ve come to expect from Tumi products, it has something even more - evolutionary functionality. Unlike many other travel bags, Tumi Dror bags are designed to change as your needs change throughout the day. For example, you can start the morning carrrying a top carry tote. As you pack more in the bag, it expands to accommodate. If the bag becomes too heavy to carry by hand, it can easily be reconfigured into a backpack.
The Dror for Tumi collection includes styles perfect for any type of travel from overnight stays to week long excursions. See them all at eBags.com.

 Many of us have been there. You arrive at your destination, get to baggage claim, wait for your luggage to take a ride on the carousel, and when the carousel stops you realize that your luggage did not arrive with you. Of course everyone knows that using carry on luggage instead of checking saves you from this hassle, but did you know that the right carry on bags can help save some of the headaches of lost luggage when you do have to check?
Of course with a smaller carry on bag, you don’t have room for all your clothing and shoes which is why you check a larger suitcase. However, by packing a change of clothes and some necessities like toothbrush, contact lens solution, makeup, and hairbrush in a carry-on, you have many of the basics you need to survive a day or so until your checked luggage arrives. The right bags, like the Athalon Plane Case Carry On and Tote Set, can help you do just that.
Because it is a carry on and tote set, the Athalon Plane Case Carry On and Tote allow you to pack not only a bag with some essentials in case your luggage is lost, but also your normal carry-on items like a book, eReader, phone, magazine, wallet, and travel documents. The rolling piece has an extending handle, shoulder strap, and carry handles for easy carrying in multiple ways and it’s small enough to fit underneath many airplane seats. The tote is large enough to hold many of your items and can fit easily into overhead bins.
Right now this set is available for under $90 so it’s not only very handy and functional, but it’s also very affordable.

 Think all hardside luggage has to be heavy to be durable? Think again. With Rimowa Salsa Air luggage, you get durability and even style in truly lightweight suitcases.
In 2000, Rimowa, known for their signature grooved luggage, introduced their revolutionary lightweight luggage collection called Salsa. The cases were made from a durable yet light polycarbonate. After that, Rimowa wanted to offer an even lighter collection and the result is Salsa Air.
Salsa Air luggage is 26% lighter than the classic Salsa collection, but it still has the same outer shell known for its ability to withstand pressure. Interior features including parachute silk lining and netting keep everything in place without adding weight. The exterior has the famous grooved design and even comes in visually appealing colors like Inca Gold, Ultra Violet, Navy, and Aquamarine.
Like all Rimowa luggage, Rimowa Salsa Air cases have the comfort and functional features you expect from luxury luggage: a Multiwheel® system for maneuverability, an integrated handle for carrying ease, and a recessed TSA combination lock for added security.
See all Rimowa Salsa Air luggage at eBags.com - the perfect choice when you want durable yet lightweight hardside luggage with distinctive style.
