Apparently, Bottega Veneta is not the only bag brand Reese Witherspoon loves to wear, check out these photos of her toting the classic black Rebecca Minkoff Clutch.

Want the Rebecca Minkoff Clutch? And before you start asking, yup, it’s a two-way, the chain strap is removable.

Why not get its latest variant instead? It’s called the Rebecca Minkoff Basket Weave Clutch and it is trimmed with woven leather.

I like this fresh take on the bag – the mixing of textures. You can tell Rebecca Minkoff (the designer) really put some attention into detailing this bag.

The treatment is the first I’ve seen from this perennial Minkoff item. Usually, she just changes the material used for the bag’s body. I am guessing the new dive could be attributed to the woven trend that is up for spring. Either way, it’s good to see her innovate.

If you want something even smaller, you can go for the Rebecca Minkoff Basket Weave Mini Mini Bag.

If both options are too small for you, go for the Morning After Bag instead.

If somebody were to ask me what neutral colored bag they should buy for spring (given that the coming season will primarily be all colors), it would be the Cole Haan Prudence Top Handle in Ivory.

Tell me, do you agree with me or not? Isn’t this woven bag beautiful?

The color is just perfect, the kind that would go well with almost any outfit (well, except a red carpet gown), not too white, nor too creamy. That and the soft, plush, woven leather material Cole Haan used simply makes you want to run your fingers through the bag.

And guess what my favorite part is? It’s the interior.

As a standard, the interior is lined with Cole Haan’s signature print. But what I love most about the inside is that all the pockets and compartments are trimmed with leather, so it looks more classy.

This is what I admire about Cole Haan – their attention to detail. You can tell just by looking at the interior that they invested time in making sure the bag is well-made.

As a finale, Cole Haan used first-class gold hardware to go with the Ivory color so the bag simply looks rich, refined, and elegant, rather than casual.

And at reasonable price of US$398, you know you are getting great value for your money.

You can purchase the Ivory Cole Haan Prudence Top Handle at Zappos.com. It also comes in other basic colors like Black and Peccan Distressed (a shade of brown). However, these two (2) offer a more casual appeal:

Are you the kind of person who likes to buy and collect in sets? Are you the kind who likes buying in coordinates? If you are, allow me to feed your compulsive habit with the Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder, and its matching Check Please Organizer.

Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder, US$260

Brighton Check Please Organizer, US$157

Both items are made of woven patent leather and natural grain trim for a more textured and distinct appearance, while the interior is lined with Brighton’s signature print.

The Christine Bucket is quite deep and roomy so you can actually use it as your everyday bag for work.

On the other hand, if you want something light and small, the Check Please Organizer would be the most ideal. It is quite handy if all you need to bring are a few bills, your checkbook, your cell, and a compact.

This collection only comes in a classic combination of black and chocolate, so it will be really easy for you to wear and pair with outfits.

You can get your own set of Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder and matching Brighton Check Please Organizer at Zappos.com

In case you find the Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder a little big for you, you may purchase the Brighton Christi Small Bucket instead:
