Pucci
British 'It' boy Matthew Williamson, who is the new in-house designer for Pucci, loves to play around with bright colors and fun prints.

Louis Vuitton
Marc Jacobs, who is the also creative director for Vuitton, loves to collaborate with artists on the French fashion house's logo bags. Remember those cartoon monogrammed bags by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami? This time, Jacobs partnered with Richard Prince who is best known for his use of pulp American imagery in his art. The result? A quirky collection of conversation-starting bags, including this comic strip clutch.

Malo
It matches her eyeliner! A model backstage at Malo shows us that color coordinating is big this season with this woven navy Malo clutch. Instead of matching your bag to your shoes - try matching it to your make-up!

Burberry Prorsum
The Burberry girl is still classic but with a little rock and roll added in this season. Designer Christopher Bailey, Burberry's Creative Director, amps up the London-based house of plaid's bag line with Goth-style studs, layered chain bracelets, and zippers like this python pouch with an equestrian knight emblem.

Diane von Furstenberg
If a bright bag just isn't your style, definitely go for neutral this season. DVF made the perfect-to-go-with-everything whip-stitched convertible clutch. Wear it long as a tote for work, then fold it over for cocktails after.
