I'm so glad Juicy Couture is branching out beyond the velour and terry handbags to include the classic leather bag. They are so much more practical. This handbag is the Juicy Couture Natalie Quilted Bag and it's made from soft navy blue leather, quilted throughout for extra soft puffiness.( I love quilted leather.) The leather is gathered at the top for even more texture. The leather handles with contrast top stitching and leather buckle add extra detail to spaces that are often overlooked in this price range. Juicy Couture is still bringing quality and great brand recognition with their latest designs, all while maintaining reasonable price points. $395 at eLuxury.

This cute little wallet is the Coach Madison Leather Small wallet and it comes in lots of different colors. $98 at Nordstrom

This is a cute little wallet also. It is the Juicy Couture Money Pieces Zip SFP Wallet and it comes in brown, as well as this cute pink. $75 at eLuxury.

I absolutely love this Christian Louboutin clutch and have written about it before. Now it's on sale, $576 at Net a Porter.

This cosmetic case is the Chantecaille Le Voyage Bag and it has seperate spaces for your make up brushes and toiletries. Also, it's pretty. $45 at Saks.

This wristlet is Prada's Tessuto Wristlet and it also comes in black. For the Prada lover, this wristlet can work as a cosmetics bag, coin purse or clutch. $310 at Saks.

For an affordable, yet stylish handbag this season, get the Juicy Couture Large Quilted Velour handbag. It's quilted velour with grained leather piping and contrast topstitching. The quilted velour is a great cold-weather material, and the neutral color makes it agreeable with any outfit. The front of the purse is adorned with ornate fairytale logo embroidery and a two-tone satin ribbon laced through silver metal grommets. The frayed-edge bow holds an aged silver metal Juicy heart charm and oversized bead charm. The interior is metallic leather and has a zipped pocket, patch pocket, and cell phone pocket. It also has a leather-trimmed heart mirror on a leather strap inside the handbag. The flat leather bottom protects the purse from wear and tear. This Juicy Couture handbag measures 15"x 12.5"x 5", so it's big enough for an everyday bag, but the fun and funky design make it a great purse for night as well. For those of us with a modest budget, this purse is a good choice. Available at eLuxury.com. $225.

Juicy Couture has progressed to a new level of style this season with their leather handbags. I like all of them, but here are a few of my favorites. The winter white one above is the medium Freestyle Hobo. It's soft leather with brushed metal hardware. The two locks on the front are Juicy Couture logo engraved and they are functional. I usually don't like locks, but these are small and are push locks, no key. This handbag measures 15"x 8.5"x 6.5" . And you can't beat the price, $450.

This is the Juicy Couture Medallion Estate Tote in Smog. The medallion on the front is very Gucci-esque. The smooth leather is subtly distressed. The gold studs on the bag are just right, not too big and not too many. Gucci should look to this bag as "what we should have done". Fairly priced at $595.

This is the large Freestyle bag in Fieno. I love the belt looped through the top of the bag. The soft leather is slightly distressed with a light sheen. The freestyle has the logo engraved locks, as well. So cute. It has a flat, leather base and measures 17"x 10.5"x 9" . $525

This is the Lock Gossip Hobo in black. It is smooth grained leather with the cute, push-lock in front. It measures 17.5"x 14" (at sides)x 4.5"  and costs $450.

I think this clutch is too cute. It's their See You Clutch in winter white. I love how the lock is off center. It measures 9.5"x 7.25"x 1" and costs $195.

I love this bag for winter. It's their Velour Too Cool Smocked Bag. It's smocked velour and has a cute hanging script logo pendant. It measures 16"x 11"x 3" and costs $250. Love the price!

They are still doing classic Juicy Couture, which is good. It's more affordable and it's their classic branding. This is the Velour Baby Fluffy. It has a flat leather bottom and measures 13" (at widest point)x 7"x 6". It costs $195.

I love that Juicy is doing quality leather bags at affordable prices. Like Coach, they have something at many price points and offer a solid label. You can get any of these handbags at eLuxury.

This is a cute Juicy Couture bag.

 This bag is black velour with leather trim. 

Shoulder straps.

Open top for easy entry with a cute two-tone logo bow on the side. It also has two attached charms, a leather heart charm and a "Royal Juicy" charm.

I think this Juicy handbag would look great with a cute track suit or workout clothes. It's roomy enough to carry a towel, change of clothes and a book - perfect for the gym.
