In case you needed any further prodding that purple is going to be a major player in the fall palette, just check out this fabulous bag by Bryna Nicole. You don't have to take our word for it -- Blake Lively has taken a liking to it, as well, and you'll be seeing it on Gossip Girl this season.
Bryna Nicole offers this bag (the Loyola Satchel, $539) in a variety of colors, including the violet, as seen here. Her bags have a bit of a vintage feel to them, albeit with a very modern edge. Lots of different fabrics and textures are used to create extraordinary bags, sure to stand out from the crowd.

From functional totes to funky little clutches, Bryna Nicole has plenty to choose from. And, if you're looking for a deal, just go back a season -- the spring and summer 2008 designs are marked down as much as 30 percent!
