British design house Mulberry has teamed up with London’s FRED art gallery to create a beautiful limited edition range of tote bags.

The five handbags feature the contemporary artworks of Phillip Jones, Peter Jones, Kate Davis, Simon English, and Paul Hosking. These local artists were selected to reflect Mulberry’s individuality and unique identity. Mulberry worked closely with these artisans to ensure the bags maintained their creative vision.

Each tote is unique, ensuring there’s something to appeal to all tastes. Kate Davis’ red rose tote is dreamy and romantic, inspired by a special moment in Rome. Paul Hosking’s bag is a colorful retro take on the old psychiatrist’s inkblots. Simon English has brought together six beautiful line drawings to create a bag of amazing energy and beauty. Phillip Jones regular themes of fate and chance are played out in his handbag which was inspired by a deck of cards. Finally there is Peter Jones playful purse depicting the adorable hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys.

These beautiful bags are available from the Mulberry Bond Street flagship store until October 22. For the duration of the promotion, each of the artists will also have a dedicated space in the Mulberry store to showcase their other works.

In a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired twist, five lucky customers may find a golden ticket inside their bag. These tickets entitle the customer to win the original artwork inspired by their tote.

Mulberry art tote bags retail for £395.

As you get older it can be tough to find bags that are feminine, yet subtle. If like me you’re too mature for bright pink purses and cutesy prints, you’ll fall in love with this Moschino sling bag.

This delicious caramel colored purse has a classic square shape and elegant lines, allowing you to easily wear it in the office or to the bar afterwards. But this timeless look comes with a dash of sass, thanks to the gold heart accents. These bold details on the front flap and shoulder straps are unmistakably feminine without being over the top.

The deep interior is ideal for carrying all your essentials and a few luxuries as well! It doesn’t have as many of the organizational features we’re used to seeing, but that actually works to its advantage. You’ll find you can fit more inside without all those extra pockets in the way. There is a handy zippered pocket in the back wall though, which is all you’ll really need!

The adjustable strap allows you to wear this bag three different ways. At the shortest setting it’s a shoulder purse. But extend it to its fullest length and you can wear it across your body as a sling bag! The choice is yours!

We’ve all lusted after the designer bags carried by Hollywood’s hottest stars. But what if I told you you can own them, and raise money for cancer research at the same time? Sound too good to be true? It’s no fantasy, thanks to Handbag Amnesty.

Handbag Amnesty, a joint initiative by Handbag.com and Cancer Research UK, gives fashion fans the chance to bid on designer purses donated by some of our favorite celebs. America Ferrera’s given up two Botkier bags, Keira Knightley’s donated a chic brown Prada purse, and Scarlett Johansson’s parted with a racy red Rebecca Minkoff handbag.

But it’s not just about celebrity handbags. If you’ve got a beautiful purse collecting dust, why not give it to your local Cancer Research UK store? Your donation will help raise even more money for this incredibly important cause.

“We’re delighted to be working with Handbag.com to launch Handbag Amnesty,” said Paul Farthing, Director of High Value Relationships at Cancer Research UK. “We also hope that by encouraging supporters to donate their own favorite handbag, and other unwanted quality items to our shops, we will be able to raise even more to help beat cancer.“

Consider this: one in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. The rest of us will see friends or family members suffer from it. It’s a sobering thought, and one that provides a great motivation to support this brilliant program and help to find a cure.

The casual bags strike a balance between feminine features and edgy accents with their delicate lines and quality leather trims.

“I tried to [transfer] that into each style, pairing chunky, matte hardware that embodied the masculine with, on the feminine side, making it girly and stylish with an element of function for the girl on the go,” said Lesa Wallace.

Quiksilver handbags are specially designed to coordinate with the surf brand’s new contemporary clothing line, although their classic colors and styles are perfect for pairing with any outfit. They’re also priced to please all fashion lovers, with bags costing between $75 and $150.

In my opinion the star who shone brightest was Lauren Conrad of The Hills. Just look at this sassy ensemble! Her Pogah Couture dress is super sexy and girly without being garish.
