Just wanted to introduce you to Style.com’s Candy Pratts Price’s fave accessories from the Fall shows, and their new pictures, descriptions and — ah! — official names.

Ah, the benefit of being an insider journalist. Well, at least we get their info when they give it.

Read it (well, view it) here on Style.com.

By the way, so far, I’m noticing at least one of the same handbags. (I’ve hardly begun looking, thanks to life and its foibles getting in the way.) It’s a Dolce & Gabbana silver number.

Apparently, it’s fur and feather PRINTED with a crocodile leather edge. And called — “Miss Edge”. Ah, a new thing, eh? fur print! Brava to the D and the G for something new!

It’s some eye-candy via eLUXURY’s home page. They may not be all mine, but it’s still a delicious treat. (A good diet dessert—but you know, with a little bit of dark chocolate in the stomach.)

Louis Vuitton Speedies all in a row

Unearthed, an exotics worker who makes accessories for sale on Etsy.com, seriously amazes me. She often uses these exotic skins, like lizard, for wrist cuffs and bags. And she’s a reasonable artist, too. I’m talkin’ a python purse would run in the mere low hundreds, NOT $10,000!!!

The bag I’m featuring tonight has rich brown leather trim, fun studs; all surrounding a funky, textured wool body. The bag is slightly reminiscent of COACH, but would compare to their $700~ish bags. The pricetag of this purse? $345, but it’s honest pricing folks! The designer chose the finest of leather and you can clearly tell the purse it well put-together.

I say, if this (The Unearthed Oslo Bag), is what Indie can do - let it be the future!

Red. It’s the hottest color of the season. And why not? We’re living in spicy times, and autumn is aflush with warm hues that fight any bad weather.

I’m scouting red bags around the web - preferrably more affordable ones, since it’s trendy, bold and we DO want to collect collect collect! So .. how about COACH?

Hamptons Leather-Signature Hobo - $368

Carly in leather - red - $398 (I personally want this one)

Hamptons Leather-Signature Flap Satchel - $498

Dooney & Bourke really knows how to pick a celebrity to give them a little publicity, while also targeting one of their main demographics: teens (no, not sci-fi buffs). Hayden Panettiere has designed a bag for the brand, to come out for the Holidays 2007. Like a hero, super star Hayden, who plays Claire Bennett on the wildly popular, Heroes TV series, actually designed something a bit more toward the classic end of Dooney’s style - no, she didn’t go the teeny-bopper pattern route. (Miss P., you are redeeming yourself from your past escapades of friend’s shirt licking!) Maybe the subtle look of the actress’s design will help to mature her peer’s own senses of fashion?

A limited edition bag, due to arrive to order in early December, it is however just a bit lacking in creativity and that something special to warrant its exclusivity, stature, and the slightly higher price tag than many Dooney’s, at around $500.

Really, in order to warrant me buying a Claire Bennett purse, a kind of plain one, a bit too expensive one — well I want it to be a true super hero bag and be indestructable, with a warranty for free repairs - or “regenerations” by the Dooney company.

But that’s just the Geek Chic in me!

Combining a few of the hottest trend aspects of the season: unique closures, gathered leather and … maybe a high price point; is the new range by little-known Smythson; the Nancy bags.

In the styles of clutch, small satchel and large, and standard colors of white, tan, black and dark brown; there’s almost something for every fashionista this Fall with the Nancy collection … except that these bags are propelled into the IT race with a price range of $1,032 to $1,981. Somewhat much for a little-recognizable status bag, but the purses really are nice. And did I mention trendy? They have a lot of the appeal of a Stam, plus the more practicalities of a medium size option and no heavy hardware. The gathered leather is done in a sophisticated and unique way; sort of appearing like a diamond quilt pattern but not - and the clasp is not only fresh, but covered in luxurious leather - the same calf skin the entire exteriors are made of.

Besides the major minus of toting your new prize causing some to think you merely have a brandy inspired bag, is the lack of a fun color - which to me is the most important trend of today. A punch, some jazz! Still, these are purses meant to display elegance, maybe they need only be subtly beautiful.

And who knows what we’ll see in the future if the Nancy catches fashionistas’ fancy!

A hot bag this past fashion season for the desirers out there has been the Burberry Beaton. Shown here in this season’s Baby sized House Check style. Take a square body and cinch it at the top, with double handles, then add a top off of signature Burberry print or leather, and we have the Beaton style. This Beaton has been made special with the oversized check so symmetrical, I’m proud to refer to it as “House.” The baby comes in at $1395, but if that pricetag doesn’t blend with its 11″ x 8″ high child-like size, I feel ya. If you decide to turn to eBay, all I have to say is ask a trusted message board’s members, like eBay’s own or at www.forum.purseblog.com. And good luck!

Now, simple sewn fabric indie purses don’t have to be boring with grandmother style. Even a basic bag can be chic in a sleek geometric shape with a cute fabric. This “Creamsicle” purse even has matching fabric straps, which I usually hate, but somehow here it works. So much so, it deserves a feature.

Fangobbles’ signature shape is this triangle-esque handbag with different fabrics. A girl can definitely find something she likes in her Etsy shop, or use their “convo” feature to inquire about other prints.

And when an item goes on sale in this shop, it may not last long, so keep on it. Hopefully you’ll learn to love indie, if you don’t already, just browse Etsy! There’s something for everyone, including the snobbiest fashionistas.

A new, interesting Chloé Edith is here again. Ahh, refreshing. With a medium-length thick shoulder strap with double buckles on each side, this tan leather bag features a true-buckled/magnetic flap closure a double buckled pouch pocket and a zippered pocket with oversized pull. It’s all signature style. Measuring 10.5″ x 10″, this IT-variation Mini Edith Satchel will throw itself over your shoulder if you’ve got $1190 for it.

I’ve finally begun knitting and attempting sewing (the learning process is moving along), so I’ve actually been more into handmade and indie bags more than the leather designer IT bags. (Hey, I’ve already got my Chloés and Stam, after all.)

And you know what, even the independent crafty world offers larger-sized clutches for day time, whether the designers follow trends or not. I love the “Chef” shape, pretty flowers and overall quality (I ordered a similar bag) of the Pleated Floral Clutch by Microwave Girl on handcrafters storefront, Etsy.com.

Measuring 16″ x 9″, this adorable purse is made from vintage upholstery fabric (!!) with a silk flower appliqué and even includes an interior pocket. Buy for only $55 right through Etsy, and you can pay with PayPal!
