With so many bags out there to choose from, how do you pick which will suit you best? Well, first, you have to know what’s out there.

It would be impossible to overstate how popular Rebecca Minkoff designer bags have been in Hollywood and everywhere else. If you’re into leather, check out Rebecca Minkoff’s latest offerings the beautiful crocodile-embossed Morning After Mini or the MAM that features quilted patent-leather trim and contrasting piping. For full-on patent leather, there’s a Morning After Mini in luxe, glossy black patent. Nobody could get enough of the original Morning After Mini, and now Rebecca Minkoff has added more options for your shopping pleasure.

Also for the leather lover, look into the Cole Haan Village Hobo or Tote or the B. Makowsky Black Victoria Satchel. The Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag Luxe has a little more room than the Mini, with all the great looks. All these bags feature classic styling and the supple leather you expect from a designer handbag.

Let’s say you love leather but you prefer clutches. The Cole Haan Aerin Clutch or the Alexis Hudson Madeline Clutch are great choices. The Cammie Hill Cinch Clutch is a fun, trendy way to do white in the off-season. In shiny patent, you can pull it off. Cara Landy makes a simple black leather clutch, but metallics are still hot, and these are too fabulous to pass up. Add a splash of color to winter with a Cara Landy Navy Embossed Clutch or the Metallic Purple Clutch or stay simple with the Santi Lavender Frame Bag.

If you aren’t looking for leather, Two’s Company will have you dreaming of summer. The Two’s Company Embroidered Flower Bag or the Gingham Cosmo Bag are fun alternatives, especially if you don’t want to wait for summer and you’re headed somewhere warm. The Gingham Cosmo Bag in blue or yellow gingham makes a great carryon and comes with a convenient matching pouch for odds and ends.

For something a little smaller, a wristlet might be your cup of tea. The Big Buddha Patent Clutch/Wristlet is perfect for a night out and it’s easy to keep track of in a kicky red. You can find a full line of designer handbags at platinumtrunk.com

Soho - district in Manhattan noted for its old warehouses converted into restaurants, galleries and theaters.

To name a Coach line Soho is brilliant. It is like the fine wine of handbags or accessories resuscitated in a way that only Coach could produce. These majestic and renowned mini bags and accessories are perfect choice for taking to the gallery, theater or fine restaurant.

Soho’s are the mark of a woman’s delicate cordial spunk. That is why the black Soho is so special. This line is the best of the best. As in vintage, it comes from the finest line Coach produces. It is the best of the past honoring the current furors. It exemplifies the grades of past skill and designs unified with the systems of today.

Soho’s are charming for any occasion. I use my multicolored Signature Soho with brushed silver trim regularly because it fits well with nearly all things in my clothes chest. I certainly praise this bag. I use it for just about any occasion from hanging out with my friends to smashing it around when I am feeling a little less than nice. You should think about purchasing a Soho.

Let’s discuss the quality of this bag. The signature Soho is so outlandishly dependable that it can withstand my child’s disastrous little hands. This bag did not become renowned because it was engineered with inadequate materials put together inattentively. It is classic because of the time and effort and vintage hobo design that are certified to outlast any trend, style or fad.

The Soho that I have has a flip top and is a little more cosmopolitan than the zip top style. Still the design with the zipper top, made with tweed expressly in brown, black or blue, is more compelling because it really echoes the symbolic styles of early Hollywood traditions. Not to mention the tether on my particular Soho is little enough to be held cozily in your hand without looking deranged.

Obviously 80’s fashions were not all that sensational. Overly bright colors such as bright orange were only interesting because they coincided with the social trends to digress from the standard way of life and journey into our personalities. The Baby Boom era reconditioned the economy by making goods faster and cheaper. However Coach accepts history repeats itself so they put a fabulous twist on the historical style making blue Soho’s in tweed. Tweed was originally called twill because it was made of unfinished woolen fabric woven into a twill pattern instead of a ordinary one.

In past eras tweed was optimal because of its moisture resistance and endurance but soon was superannuated because the assembly and price could not keep up with the worlds growing demands and industry boom. So they moved to more cost effective materials. Fortunately for us Coach knows that quality is better than quantity and tweed as well as their other Signature materials will continue to last. Have you ever noticed that a couch, not to be confused with Coach, made with tweed have outworn the years longer than the cheap cost effective ones. This is what sets the Coach apart from the rest.

Coach’s are priced a little higher but you can feel secure knowing it will last. Whatever your rage happens to be: red, black, brown, orange, green, multi colored, small, large, mini purses, or wallets, Coach has a Soho to suit your individuality. You can be sure that the Soho line and hobo design will continue to triumph the accessory world making the traditions of today the icons of our future..

The Soho reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Audrey Hepburn is the image of vintage style. She is the best of of forgone fads and distinguished not just by charisma but by beauty and influence, a vision that will endure forever. Like Coach’s Soho, it is a representation of early fads that became a legend not just by craft but by the image and grace they bring to any woman. So a purse won’t make you look famous but it can make you feel like one.
