Not really a handbag but my work tote, I just got the J.crew downing tote in Pewter. It is actually a lighter grey than i expected but it is perfect for spring.
I have my eye on this J.crew bag for upcoming vacation because it is so bright and fun but i'm on the fence because it is so small.
I have that Kate Spade handbag in hot pink! I love it for the summer, but I don't carry it much during the spring because it clashes with my pink trench coat!
An off-white Michael Kors hobo and an orange Dooney satchel. Both have tassels on them.
I also have a silver Coach satchel with more hardware than most things in their line that I haven't carried for a couple of years, maybe I'll get it out again.
marina007 oh you have one of these two. Can you tell me is it a pain to open? Do you have to unbuckle those two buckles to open the bag?
Not gonna lie - it totally is a bit of a pain - and i do use it less for that reason. I do still love it though.
I think they have a minisatchel that has magnetic closure now though.
yay i just checked and they do! now i just have to wait for a neon or bold bright color to pop up in the magnetic section. I really have been loving this bag for over a year now
sb is the Cambridge bag hard to open? I haven't looked at one in person but i keep browsing this online.
They're pretty stiff, but they break in well and become a little easier with age. I have two, this one and the fluoro pink. The pink one is bigger and it hasn't broken in as well. I don't know if it's the size or a different coloring process on the leather, but if I get another one I'll get the smaller size.
The bigger thing is the buckles. If you want a purse you can just reach into in a second, you won't like this. I tend to have the straps pulled through the buckles, but not buckled in, so I can open it quickly. Also, they now have zip tops and bags with magnetic closures, so I'd look at those.

I got this one last year (or the year before?) for my spring bag. I wanted something bright and cheery. I just started carrying it today to brighten me up from the gross gray blah it is outside.
