In the spirit of the economic recession, I have brought you some great deals. Here are a few from NORDSTROM.

This is the Furla 'Clara Grande Dame' Croc embossed shopper and it comes in this grey, as well as a deep red. It's a beautiful everyday carry-all. It's on sale from $835 to $499.

I have written about this handbag when it first came out, because I think it's a great bag, so I'm super excited it's now on sale. It's the Cole Haan Genevieve Tote, and it's woven patent leather and suede. The fluid-like weaving pattern is beautiful. On sale from $395 to $236.

This is another bag I have previously written about. It's the Versace 'Kiss' Croc embossed shopper and it's also available in black. If you have had your eye on this bag, now is the time to grab one. On sale from $3,045 to $1,819.

Here are a few more worth checking out.

 I really like this Cole Haan handbag. It's their Genevieve Triangle Handbag, Fall 2008. It's woven patent leather and suede, and the opposing materials make a beautiful, fluid appearance.

It has brushed nickel hardware and double adjustable patent leather shoulder straps (9" drop). It has a dog clip closure and top can open as wide as base, so it can hold large objects like your laptop. It has an inside zip, two open, cell phone and PDA pockets. This handbag has Cole Haan logo jacquard lining.

I think it's a great bag for the price, $495. The Cole Haan brand produces high quality, good looking and affordable handbags. Fabulous.

Measurements are: 19"W X 11"H X 5"D
