Are there designers you love, but just can’t afford one of their bags at the moment? Consider a little splurge on their special buys: coin purses! You can buy some of these little gems at a fraction of the cost of a handbag. What’s more, you can be a little more daring than you normally would be on a handbag too! They make wonderful gifts for your besties!

When it comes to affordable handbags, Coach is at the top of my list. The company has taken their handbags in a new direction over these last few years and it has been so much fun seeing them take on a completely new look. Coach handbags now have this aura about them. It is youthful, yet sophisticated. And it looks like Coach is continuing to head in this direction with their latest collection for Fall 2010. Introducing the new Mia Collection!

This lovely new collection is composed of simple, yet structured shapes accented with military-inspired blazer button hardware. And as far as fabrications go, the Mia Collection has a little something for everyone… from signature prints to leather, even this new (and super cute) Ocelot print! So far, I am liking everything I see! I love how these bags are understated, modern, and chic. Plus they are available in colors that will be perfect for Fall! Check out my favorite pieces from this collection below!

In 2009, the must-have color for handbags was Cobalt Blue. This gorgeous color made an appearance in the collections of many, many designers. This color was so hot, it’s no wonder everyone wanted a piece of the action. So is this color trend dead in the water? From the look of things, not by a long shot! That’s right, the hot new color for Fall 2010 is… (drum roll)… Electric Blue! It’s a new name, but virtually the same color. Just check out the Cobalt Blue bags I wrote about back in 2009 and compare them to the Electric Blue bags I have pictured below. Pretty much the same color, aren’t they? But hey, that’s okay! This is probably one color I will never grow tired of, especially when it comes to handbags.

Anya Hindmarch is reknowned for lady-like style and the new Fergus Stitched Leather Bag is refined, chic and so much more. When I see this bag, I think of Audrey Hepburn, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johanssen all rolled into one. It’s sophisticated, exclusive and there’s just a bit of edge to keep things interesting!

This roomy black leather bowling bag features a stitching that creates a woven effect. The signature bow is stitched into the bag as well. The black on black design has a very rich and sophisticated effect, but also a bit edgy , ala a Matrix vibe. The gold-tone hardware adds the right touch of shine.

A favorite of Kate Hudson, it is most detailed bag of this group, this satchel has more of a biker edge to it with zippers galore, harness straps and ribbed stitching reminiscent of shoulder detailing we’ve seen on some motorcycle jackets. This bag packs features galore with loads of pockets for all of your needs. I’m loving this pretty pastel pink to offset the edge of the styling. Also available in tan and black with Medium (17” x 11” x 5”) and Small (14” x 9” x 4”) sizing available. The median priced bag of the group at $1175 – $1450.
