3.1 Phillip Lim ‘s crisp white Pashli satchel is calling your name – you’ll be ready for summer with this baby on your arms! Even more perfect that it’s now discounted on Shopbop’s 3 day sale.

No doubt about it, this super-slim day-tripper rocks a totally cool shape. But contrary to its description, Damir ‘s Doma is not technically a messenger bag – the shoulder strap, though somewhat adjustable, isn’t long enough to reach crossbody lengths

One new reason to look forward to summer’s end: for his latest collection, Jason Wu is set to follow up last season’s attention-getting bags with even more exciting styles. Daphne still has the trademark Miss Wu owl eyes, for a dash of sweetness, but her wide-eyed gaze isn’t what makes this satchel stand out. The shape is so cool – it has a vintage feel, courtesy of the sturdy frame and short, ladylike handle – but the flair is in the trapezoidal silhouette.

For Fall 2012, minaudiere master Fiona Kotur is set to introduce us to a harder-edged line, one that reveals a stronger, perhaps tougher side of the clutch designer’s vision. Jolting lines and razor-sharp meldings of metal and snakeskin are sure to be a refreshing change after summer’s softer clutches. Even more exciting: the new season marks two fresh collaborations, with Rachel Roy and J.Crew .

The bejeweled CARA available at Oscar de la Renta for $2250.

Derek Lam ‘s graduated turquoise shoulder bag looks like a treasure you might have had the great fortune to acquire on a trip to Bora Bora or Anguilla, but despite the oceanic hue, it’s a city showstopper all the way! While the glazed snakeskin Charley is petite in size, it is big on functionality. You wouldn’t guess it, but this gem is double-sided with multiple compartments for all my gadgets and lip gloss
