Purses are more than fashion accessories, they are like survival kits for women. Before we head out the door in the morning, we pack them with everything and anything we might need that day so we are never caught unprepared. They are useful and cute. It is the best of both worlds!

Like most women, I have purses in all different shapes, colors, sizes and styles to match all of my outfits. What is your favorite purse? Check out our list of top searched handbags to see which designers other women love to sport on their shoulder. Did your fave make the list?

The top searched handbag on our list has been around for over 65 years. The classic and sophisticated design of Coach purses make them a perennial favorite among fashionistas and style conservatives.

In contrast to the long standing reputation of Coach handbags, the next two bags on our list are new to the world of fashion. You may recognize these purses from their commercials on television. Miche bags allow you to change the outer shell of the bag while keeping the rest of the bag in tact. With all the different styles available, it is perfect for coordinating with daily ensembles, and you don't even have to switch your belongings from bag to bag. Number 3 is full of pockets and expandable pouches to help you stay organized. Also, Buxton bags are durable leather handbags and their thick straps make them healthy back purses too.

I always lust over designer handbags, but I can't always afford the ones I really want. So, if I don't have the cash, I just Bag, Borrow or Steal. No, I don't mean I take the bag illegally! It is a website that lets you rent designer purses like you would rent a DVD. Instead of splurging on a bag that could be out of style next season, you can model what is 'in' now and then trade it in for the next hot item.
