Bag It!
by Krista Michelle Arrigo

From the prettiest purses to the cutest clutches, our bag selections will satisfy all your bag obsessions. And they're not only fashionable, but functional as well. (Plus, we put them in price order... from afterschool job-able to "ask your 'rents-worthy!")

A Coin Purse Yukiko Sato's TESAGE Bags are the cutest coin purses. They're made of remnant fabric and vintage clothing the designer finds in places like Paris, Italy, Switzerland, India, and China. Use them to store your change and ID cards for easy access. ($14, www.yukikosato.com)

A Tiny Tote We love this Curliegirl seafoam green crochet wallet with peach felt flower and bead. It's an unexpected version of the norm -- oh-so chic and stylish. You'll love pulling it out of your purse or back pocket. ($17, www.curliegirl.com)

A Makeup Bag Renee Patrice's Bubbles Make-Up Bag is perfect for storing your everyday face essentials. But don't dwell on its adorable retro theme with pastel rhinestones, pink satin lining, and side loop too much -- you may just float away. ($40, www.reneepatrice.com)

A Shopping Bag You can do more than just shop with this Shop Girl Swagger Tote. Use it to carry books to class, clothes to the gym, or a towel and suntan lotion to the beach. You choose! ($51, www.bloomingdales.com)

A Handbag You can dress Vera Bradley's Kate Hibiscus silk, striped handbag up or down. Whether you pair it with jeans or a dress, or solid-colored clothes and shoes, you'll bring your outfit to show-stopping status. ($52, available at Peachtree Place, call 847-441-7585 or 877-249-2626)

A Versatile Bag This Vagabondo J bag by Judith Peters is made of flat nylon and literally takes up no room in your luggage or closet. It folds up as small as you'd like and grows into a roomy, fun tote. Take it to the beach or pack it up on your next vacation. ($59, www.judithpeters.com)

A Chic Clutch Nothing says sophisticated lady better than a chic clutch. These beige leather styles by Zoli are trimmed with lambskin and double horizon patches in either baby pink and fuschia, baby pink and green, or green and fuschia. You're sure to make a fashion statement with one in hand. ($75, www.nedandshell.com)

An Accessory Bag  Yasmena bags like this one truly combine fashion and function. With a wrist strap rather than a shoulder strap, its unique touch allows you to store essentials without distracting from your outfit. ($75-$130, www.yasmena.net)

A School Bag  With a Bagalogos! you don't have to be on campus to show school spirit. This long-lassting leather bag comes complete with monogrammed school logos. Anywhere you wear it, you'll show support. Bring it to work, a party, or the next family outing. ($108-$180, www.bagalogos.com)

A Travel Bag  The colorful Zip it Traveler by World According to Jess really is the ultimate travel bag. Made with plastic zippers of various colors and sizes sewn together, and accented with red leather trim, it fits perfectly in airplane overhead compartments, and you'll have no problem spotting it on the luggage pickup ramp. ($120, www.worldaccordingtojess.com)

A Beach Bag This Palm Beach Tote from Luxury Accessories may be pricey, but it's way worth it. It'll take you through summer, into fall and spring (put it away for winter), and back into summer. It's made from quality leather, so it's sure to last you all year long (just don't get it wet!). ($145, www.luxuryaccessories.com)
