1. Work Week Satchel

Price: $168.00 at anthropologie.com
Even the dullest of work weeks will be brighter with this handy satchel, available in inky black or soft taupe leather. Tie around one handle is a fluttery silk scarf, and inside is a soft cotton lining and one pocket. It’s roomy enough for all of your weekday essentials, from your day planner to your cell phone, lipstick to checkbook.

2. Daily Brights Satchel

Price: $188.00 at anthropologie.com
This downsized satchel by Lucky Penny comes in two cheerful colors, canary yellow or cobalt blue, both equally pretty, though yellow would be my choice. They’re made of supple later with a cotton lining, and feature an adjustable strap. I’d carry this with menswear-inspired charcoal grey pinstripe pants, oxfords, and a sheer, ruffled blouse.

3. Soothsayer Satchel

Price: $69.95 at anthropologie.com
I love the versatility of canvas, especially when paired with the style of a sensational satchel, like this one, in dove grey. The detailing is exquisite, a narrow, wave pleat. I also adore the detail affixed to one strap… lovely!

4. Sweet Memories Satchel

Price: $178.00 at anthropologie.com
This room satchel by Miss Albright is of the most generous proportions, but still structured. The handles are rich with tortoiseshell links, and each side is tied with a pretty printed silk scarf. Wear matching sling-backs and your favorite sunglasses to an outdoor market…

5. Moxie Satchel

Price: $89.95 at anthropologie.com
Your best friend has this quality about her, a cheerful pluckiness that’s gotten you both into exclusive clubs and out of tight spots. She’d carry this bag, with its own version of her moxie, with its charming drawstring closure and knotted leather strap.

6. Pocket Abundant Bag

Price: $448.00 at anthropologie.com
The very thought of a messy handbag gives me a shudder, so this is a bag I adore, with five inner pockets and two outer ones, ideal for managing my daily necessities. There’s a place for everything in this soft, slouchy taupe leather bag, so it’s a must-have for those organizationally-obsessed, like me.

7. Bird Lake Bag

Price: $268.00 at anthropologie.com
What a gorgeous, unusual color! It reminds me of peacock feathers, and would look gorgeous with an a-line cut LBD and patent peep-toe pumps. Be sure to wear silver accessories, to match the hardware on this handbag, and enjoy a pop of lush color on date night, or a night out with the girls!

With so many gorgeous satchels to choose from, in so many styles and price ranges, there’s sure to be one you’ll love to fit your budget! Which of these satchels do you like best, and what would you wear it with? Please share!
