Now that 2007 is coming to an end, lets look back at some of our favorite celebrities with their designer handbags. Here is our top 10 favorites..

Shiny Patent
Patent is definitely a hot trend that comes back season after season. The bag above is the super gorgeous glossy oversized Valentino Nuage bag.

Environmental Totes
Green is the new Black! Lily Cole is only one of the thousands to sport Anya Hindmarch’s famous I’m not a Plastic Bag Tote. The stunning supermodel has been spotted all over town with her hot Eco Friendly Anya Hindmarch Shopping Tote, that retails for (*drum roll*) under $15.

Daily Basic Bag
Little Miss Ashley Fuller Olsen with her hot black Givenchy Nightingale Designer Handbag on arm. Isn’t it a beauty! I adore the Nightingale, the bag is simple but stunning. Definitely an all-day bag from early morning to late night – especially in the classic black version.

Sporting a cheap & chic purse!
The handbag above is actually from Devi Kroell’s cheaper line for Tar-jhay. Anne Hathaway with her Target Bag, a perfect example that money doesn’t buy style. You don’t have to spend $500+ on a handbag to be fashionable, there are hundreds, heck even thousands of designers out there that come out with great bags that are stylish and very affordable.

The Devi Kroell designer handbags which are known for their four-figure price tag and exotic material, traded in all of the above to feature an under $50 price tag and embossed python material.

Oversized Clutches
First it was Victoria Beckham photographed all over LA and on a recent trip to England with the Jimmy Choo Foldover Clutch, then Naomi Watts jumped on the purse-train and got her hands on this little stunner.

Sporting Vintage
Lindsay Lohan, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen and Nicole Richie are only a couple of celebrities in the spotlight that would rather sport a classic vintage Fendi or Chanel designer handbag than one fresh from the handbag production house.

Punch of Colors
Vibrant attention grabbing colors always make an impression. Turquoise, pink, orange, purple… eye-popping colors can fix even the dullest outfit.

Designer Travel Bags
Signature designer luggage from Louis Vuitton, who has specialized in luggage making for over 100 years.

Pictured above, David Beckham went with classic Louis Vuitton carry-on luggage. The Louis Vuitton Sac Squash and the Pegase 70 Luggage. The Sac Squash can be spotted with a retail price of $1,810 and the Pegase 70 carries a $2,740 price tag.

Metallic Clutches
Breathtaking evening clutches dressed in metallic. Above is Kate Bosworth with a stunning reflecting glossy bronze colored python with silver framed CC logo closure Chanel Evening bag. A true eye-catching stunner!

Oversized Clutches
From day to night a Bottega Veneta Clutch is suiting for all occasions. The two billionaire celebrity twin sisters MKA Olsen were spotted with the same red hot Bottega Veneta (bo-tay-ga ve-ne-tah) woven bag.

Exclusively @ shopbop: The luxe Leya snakeskin clutch with rose detailing.

WWD: Top 12 Designer Handbag Brands of 2007
WWD recently published their top 12 picks for 2007, and I am so disappointed. I mean who did they interview? Label whores? When I think of last years best sellers, or even memorable bags that could have been found on the lists of thousands of handbag fans, I wouldn’t pick a bag by some of the designers below. Coach number 1? How can that be. And Ralph Lauren? The only bag that comes to mind is the birkin-looking Ricky bag. I have nothing against the brands below, I’m a fan of a couple, but I don’t think this list is very accurate.
