Seems we’re on the plus size theme of late on Pursenickety (maybe it’s because we know Spring is here and we wish we’d lost a few extra pounds already?!) and as we keep getting our hands on some oversized purses and tote bags, it felt entirely natural to side-step into the world of Big Buddha bags.
Now the name is a little deceiving, as not every tote they sell is the size of an overweight, short and balding deity. However what they are is this: bold, sometimes quirky and most definitely stylish on every occasion.
Whilst we hung out with a Buddha Bag or two, we wrangled over our top picks and narrowed it down to our favorite three. They might not be yours but we like to think that we’re good at separating what will and what won’t work for the average woman – and that’s who Pursenickety is run by … average (fashion conscious, tote bag loving) women!
This is an oversized Big Buddah bag, large, lots or space, with a great outline, even if we do say so ourselves. Like a woman with curves in all the right places, this one has the equivalent with straight lines, a classy appeal and a very attractive external design. We love the floral theme, large exotic flowers, sizeable gold studs and matching hardware and a lining that matches the exterior.
It comes in a Black/White combo or a gorgeous Light Brown, either one looks equally stylish and the handles make this one a comfortable shoulder bag. You get two exterior slip pockets, two more of the same inside and one larger zippered pocket. It's contemporary, elegant and eye-catching, everything a bag under this brand should be.

BIG BUDDHA Hibiscus Tote List Price: |
This Big Buddha bag fits neatly into the satchel tote design, albeit ever so slightly quirky. The big floral front ruffle gives it the edge and the mock leather snakeskin manufacture lends it an air of quality without the matching price tag. You can use it as a tote bag, a shoulder bag or even as a crossbody tote, due to the two carry handles - a pair of grab handles or a lengthy adjustable strap, which can be removed if necessary.
Pocket wise you get an external rear zippered pocket, another one on the inside as well as a couple of slip pockets for cell phones and ipod type gadgets. The closure is a zipper and the hardware is up to the usual high standard that you get with any Buddha bag. Fully lined, feels like the real thing and yet soft and pliable to the touch. A great price for a great looking satchel bag.

Big Buddha Women's Empire Jempire Hobo
Moving away from flora and fauna, this Big Buddha bag has a more classical appearance and we decided that this one's great for the working woman, or one that's looking for a tote bag that's not only good to look at, it's highly functional too. The Jempire Hobo is full of pockets and compartments, which would organize even the most chaortic among us.
It's available in more than just Mustard; Black and Orange spring to mind. Beyond the styling, you get a wide variety of niches for just about everything you can possibly want to haul around; exterior pocket, interior zip and slip pockets, and two roomy mangnetic closure compartments on the front and rear. We also love the ruche panels, the cute keepsake and the good looking hardware. Definitely a bag for todays modern woman and we're loving the price tag too!

You can’t beat big purses. They’re the equivalent of plus sized women, with curves in all the right places. If you’re like me … a little extra junk in your trunk, then a big purse will be the perfect partner to spend you days with.
Large purses are great for a number of reasons; they’re spacious, they can be slouchy and casual or elegant and classy. They’re big enough to carry a ton of stuff, over and above the usual crap we girls tend to haul round every day.
They’re a great shopping buddy, awesome for those cooler days and you brought along a small jacket to keep you warm, or the inverse – it suddenly heats up and you need to stash your excess clothing somewhere.
Every woman needs at least one oversized handbag in her possession. Clutches and cute tote bags are all very well but they don’t hide a stack of cookies, a bag lunch or your latest purchase from the local mall. Small and perfectly formed is for decoration purposes only (ya hear skinny girls!), big and beautiful represents fun, good times and living life to the full!
Large Zane Hobo By Vitalio Vera
You gotta love hobo bags. They make great big purses and the casual look you get with any one is good enough for the fun loving woman any day of the week. This one is particularly attractive, bold strips, faux goatskin fabric, vibrant colors and enough space to hide several pairs of gorgeous new pumps.
We love ths siez, shape and style, the detailing, which consists of contrasting stitching, buckles, a great look tassle and keepsake keychain. All the hardware has the ohhhhhh so trendy antique finishe and the closure is a secure flip-over snap. Inside you get a cell phone pocket, one slip and one zippered pocket and the strap is adjustable and perfect for using as a shoulder bag. Stylish yet casual and definitely plus sized!
Extra Large Fleurette Tote Purse By Nila
This is one of those big purses for every outfit. We prefer the black and that's the one we're talking about. Black goes with everything and as this is also a bag that will work for any event, we figured it's well worth the review. It's a cross between an elegant oversized tote and something that will also come in for those days when all you want to do is to hit the streets looking relaxed and casual.
It's manufactured from black faux leather, with silver accents and we love the floral ruffle on the front. You get plenty of space, plus a couple of slip pockets for life's little gadgets and one zippered pocket. It's fun and practical, trendy and cavernous! Oh and did we tell you that the lining is in a delicious and yummy chocolate brown? No? Well it is and the contrast just adds to its appeal!
We've raved about Baggallini bags before. And we're going to do so again. As big purses go this one looks decidely sleek, which it is. However it still measures an impressive 20 x 14 ins, and that makes it plus size enough to get onto our list. We chose this one because it's the go-everywhere bag. Great for travel, work and, more importantly, it's a bag that keeps you organized.
Deceiving it may be, compact and disordely it is not. You get one roomy interior pocket and three external zippered ones. The strap is looooong and adjustable, which makes it versatile - a crossbody bag or a shoulder bag. There's a removable coin purse, plus you get a cute keychain and a choice of 11 different shades. Manufactured from touch non-creasing nylon, our pick's the Leopard spot style. Buy one - you won't be disappointed.

Cowboys love cowgirls and cowgirls love ... Western purses. Sorry guys but that's the way it works. A woman's purse is reliable, a thing of beauty, hard working and never let's her down on a date night. They're a girls favorite thing, after chocolate of course, and no self-respecting woman will ever venture beyond the front door without hers firmly attached to her body.
We can leave our men at home, maybe our kids too (on occasion), but we'd never ever leave home without our cowgirl purses. They're a part of who we are, our lifestyle and our love of all things country, and one thing's for sure - they never ever moan about what we put on the dinner table night after night.
That said, a Western leather handbag does need to be at least as rugged as our men are, look great all day long and they need to be spacious enough to haul our girly crap around from sun up to sun down. Plus we want them in leather, dripping with country-style detailing and better looking than the hottest cowboy at the local rodeo!
American West Everyday Cowgirls Tote
This beautiful leather Western purse is full to the brim of what we want and expect from this type of bag. For one it's handmade, the leather has been vegetable dyed and hand tooled to fully deliver on the Western bag styling. The detailing on the exterior is beatiful, and the quality of the materials are second to none.
There are plenty of zippered pockets - two on the side panels, one to the front and two pouch pockets located on the inside of the bag. The trim is in a gorgeous turquoise leather and the embellishments are an antique silver effect. Every purse comes with its own slip cover and a small souvenir in silver.
American West Lady Lace Zip-Top Hobo
This is one of those Western purses that comfortably bridges the gap between a conventional country bag and a classic, versatile tote. It shares many of the finer aspects of the previous product, the hand-tooled vegetable dyed leather, the same trim and antique silver detailing.
The whole bag is made by hand and there's enough space and organization to suit the classiest of cowgirls. Two slip pockets on the side panels, zippered pockets inside, plenty of room for sunglasses, keys, cell phones and similar gadgets, as well a buckled adjustable strap. Gorgeous to look at and the smell of the leather is a sign of its quality manufacture.

Over the last few years the famous singer and TV star has developed a range of different product lines, from bags to shoes, clothes to hair extensions and judging on their popularity, anything that JS puts her name to is hot stuff indeed.
Of course sporting Jessica Simpson bags won’t garner you the kind of following that she enjoys, nor will you find that your body suddenly morphs into the same size and shape of Daisy Duke. However what you will gain is a gorgeous, trendy bit of arm candy, a little frivolous, shapely and most definitely gorgeous.
The range covers a diverse array of styles, from classic totes to the stylish clutch, satchels, oversized purses and more, if there’s a type, size or shape Jessica has it covered. You can buy an up market black tote purse, or slouch it out with a gorgeous Boho bag, the choice is yours and the choices are many.
Jessica Simpson Cypress Tote (Synthetic)
This is a purse that's got clean lines, an elegant design and it comes with a crossbody strap in the event you want to let it hang low. The hardware has a vintage look, one that compliments the tote, and the zippers and fastenings are of the same style. We love the size of this one, perfect as a day tote bag or one for work, and yet it's looks make it just as easy on the eye for a night out.
There's an external zippered pocket and one small pocket located on the inner wall, as well as a gorgeous contrasting deep blush lining.

Jessica Simpson Jimmy Boho Tote
If you're a boho chic, you'll love this delicious boho purse. From the purple lining to the huge cavernous interior, the ehtnic style fabric and the finishing touches, this is a bag made for slouching with, shopping with and ... for compliments. With its slightly edgy appeal, tassles and mini shoulder strap, this one's got a lot going for it.
The corner styling, the magnetic closure and the two interior pockets all help to make this one helluva good looking tote. Great arm candy, trendy and affordable and of course it definitely has that little bit of shine that you'd expect from a tote that gets a nod from the likes of Jessica.

Jessica Simpson In Crowd Shopper
We love this one because it's vibrant on the outside, sassy on the inside. It's avalaible in red, yellow, black and brown, red being our top pick. It's spacious, has plenty of zippered pockets that enable you to instill some organization, and and the little details are gorgeous.
You get a hook attachment for your keys, ruched side panels, belt-buckles detailing and an elegant flower purse charm/key-chain. The hardware and closures are in keeping with the overall style and if you're looking for a large shopper that's highly functional yet snappy, eye-catching and right on trend, this is the tote for you.

As college type bags go, many happen to be gender neutral. This is fine if you’re a college kid, not so fine if you’re a woman that’s looking for a good looking bag that embraces exactly what these bags are all about. For that reason Pursenickety have been schmoozing around the shelves, checking out the best cute backpacks.
We wanted to locate and share the good-lookers, the one’s with chic appeal that cover all the basics that any backpack should – spacious, comfortable and something that will sit out of sight, without looking as though it would be just as happy on a guys back as it would on a girls.
Having spent a few days touching, testing and generally playing around with a few dozen, we’ve decided on three great backpacks for women. Each one is super stylish, gorgeous and not going to cost you the price of an evening out with your girlfriends. On top of that they’re all functional, comfortable to wear (even fully loaded) and, of course ... very very cute.
Bungalow360 Owl Vegan Canvas Backpack
Out of all the cute backpacks we checked out, this one was a firm favorite. It's a canvas manufacture, with a repetitious whimsical owl pattern printed throughout and besides the fact that it looks endearing (more so when you have your hands on it) it's definitely functional with it.
It's a medium sized backpack, not too big but big enough to carry around the usual female paraphanalia; a book or two, makeup, wallet, keys, credit cards etc, and you get a choice of a front exterior pocket or a spacious interior one. You also get a couple of smaller ones, one on the side and a cell phone pocket located on the strap. All the hardware and fastenings are good quality and the lining is white polka dots over a brown base. Very now, very cute and very available.
Hummingbirds Butterfly Butterflies Small Backpack - Cute Travel Day Bag
This is a great looking cute backpack, feminine and girly from top to toe, designed for the woman on the go and very high on both function and features. It's a recommended buy, if for nothing more than the fact that beyond its looks it's incredibly cheap for what it is. Despite its compact size, this backpack is lightweight, fully lined and waterproof.
The straps adjusts in a hot second, there's a cool little removable pocket to the front and a surpisingly spacious interior. The fabric is 100% cotton that's been treated to keep it water tight and even if you were caught in a heavy downpour, the interior of the bag remains completely dry.Overall you're getting awesome quality for the price ... and one of the cutest backpacks around.

Quilted Zippered Backpack Style Handbag - Purple And Pink Poodle
As cute backpacks go, we found this one to be rather kitsch, and that's why we loved it so much. You don't have to like dogs (or poodle's) and the color pink to find this one highly appealing and full of charm. Being quilted it's highly comfortable to carry around, plus it's both lightweight and washable.
There's a good size interior space in the main compartment, a zippered front pocket and two slip pockets situated on the side panels. Either one is big enough for a cell phone, camera or a small handheld device and we like the additional detailing on the zippers. In all a very sweet, appealing backpack, it definitely got the thumbs up in the Pursenickety office and remember ... cute backpacks are just like poodles - gorgeous!

If you tend towards living your life out of your tote bag (like me!) then a great way to stay on top of what’s in there is to use a purse organizer. They’re a cool little invention, designed for the woman with a junk-filled handbag and having used one for a while, I can vouch for how much they’ve improved my life.
No longer do I find myself scuffling around for my coin purse, my chapstick or hairbrush. Whenever I need something it’s neatly ordered, easy to spot and easy to grab. I use a medium sized one, according to the size and style of my favorite tote.
They’re available in a variety of sizes and colors, and though you can’t expect to find one with a Louis Vuitton or Chanel logo to match your designer handbag, the black ones make for great organizer inserts and pretty much go with anything.
Used correctly you can arrange your possessions into an orderly fashion, clear out the clutter and end up with the interior of your bag lacking the usual confusion and untidiness!
This is one of the most popular purse organizers and it will comfortably fit into most tote bags. There are over 20 different sections, in varying sizes and there's plenty of space for makeup, a brush or two, your cell phone, keys, credit cards and a whole lot more.
Once you've got your purse into an orderly manner you can remove the insert and place in into any bag and, in the event that you have a smaller one, you can split the organizer into two halves, leaving you with one that will fit a smaller bag yet still contain your most important items. It's durable, it's easy to use and it's available, Get organized!

This purse organizer is a little different from the previous two, in that it's a series of pouches that are designed to mold around the inner shape of your purse. It comes as a pack of two purse inserts, both will work separately or singularly, and there's also a handy key clip for your keychains.
It's a durable manufacture, more than capable of standing up to some hard-work and the design allows the center or your tote to remain free for larger items suchs as books, electronic gadgets or a diaper or two and a bottle if you're a mom on the go.

There’s nothing like losing your keys, which is why a key finder for your purse is a great idea. Bought as a gift or simply because you want one yourself, they’re a lovely way of keeping your keys safe, whether you place them inside or outside of your bag. Realizing that you’ve lost your car or house keys is no fun and we’ve all experienced those highly frustrating moments whereby we discover that our car keys are not where we thought we’d left them the last time we’d used them.
This is enough to send most of us into a huge frenzy, the hope being that sooner or later we’ll unearth the missing bunch of keys and be able to go about our day. However that’s not always the case and unfortunately it’s not unknown for an appointment to be missed or to find ourselves late for work.
Key finders can help to cut out the in between part, the part where you’re scratching your head, feeling your blood rising and wondering where the heck your keys have got to. Providing that you've attached your keys to the keychain (the pretty bit) you should find that your keys remain exactly where you left them! No fuss, no hair tearing, just a simple solution to a horribly common problem.
Of those featured, they’re all gorgeous little purse key-chain lookalikes, created for a practical reason and yet still designed to look pretty and add bling to your tote bag. They’re inexpensive and surely worth the price of a few dollars for some much need peace of mind!

This is a gorgeous looking key finder, a lovely Celtic type design that's vibrant and eye catching yet wholly practical at the same time. It's an easy case of attaching your keys to the key chain and you can hang the keychain on a handle, a zipper or store it inside of your purse.
It looks great, it's nice and sturdy and the design is definitely one that grabs your eye. When not holding onto your keys this one will look good as is, especially if placed on a black tote bag. Inexpensive, different, worth every cent.

It's a big favorite and sturdy enough to hang your keys from, so it's both attractive and functional.

So you have your fabulous new tote bag but did you remember to buy a purse hanger? You’re happy and content (at least for a month or so) and you’re using any excuse to carry that baby everywhere you go. Awesome. But, having paid the price of a weekend cruise around the Bahamas, you’re kinda reluctant to stash it on the floor every time you make a lunch stop or meet up with friends.
The solution is to use a purse holder. These are cool, small gadgets that are foldable (usually), made from metal, and meant to be used as a hanger for your purse every time you’re out and sat at a table or bar top.
They’re an innovative little invention in that they allow you to keep your bag right next to you, under the table and out of sight. This keeps your gorgeous Coach, Louis Vuitton or fave black leather tote safe and secure, not hanging around in plain sight waiting for someone to come along and borrow it on a long term basis.
Finders Key Purse Hanger - Alexx Dragonfly 
This is a pretty little purse hanger and a style that comes in a variety of different designs. This one is a dragonfly, in flight and laid over a gorgeous collection of pinks. It folds up into a compact metal circle and slips inside its own velvet mini-bag.

The man purse is a funny little thing. Or big thing, depending on your perspective and the individual man’s need to go large, or not. There’s no denying that men come with inbuilt man bags, something many refer to as jean’s pockets. However that doesn't remove the fact that many guys do in fact require the use of a purse of some description.
Now supposing that your man needs one, or you’ve decided on his behalf that it’s time he started hauling one around, then at least it’s good to know that there are quite a few good decent man bags on the market. Generally they’re designed around a man’s lack of appreciation (and utter disdain) for the average tote bag, so to that effect they’re usually to be found in black, lacking embellishments and perfectly suited to hanging around on a man’s shoulder.
In other words (to a woman at least) they’re functional, well made … and boring. But we at Pursenickety allowed our minds to go blank, completely ignored our natural leanings towards pretty things, color and fashion and managed to root out a few of the best man purses currently on offer.
Whilst there’s no guarantee that any one of the featured man purses will excite the buddies belonging the man you’re buying for, let’s at least keep the jeering down to a minimum. No matter how much you love floral prints and gorgeous purse key-chains, your man won’t. Let’s keep things masculine (brown or black), let’s stay focused and who knows … your attempt to bring him fully up-to-date with what he needs (whether he likes it or not) may well find you your next delicious new purse!
This is a good looking man purse, as these things go. Like other bags in this style, the bag as lots of pockets and niches, the kind of thing that appeals to guys and probably makes them feel as though they're carrying a mini-tool bag around with them. The strap is good and long and will allow them to either wear it over shoulder or as a crossbody bag.
It's available in two other colors, though black is the better looking, and it's manufactured out of tough canvas. It's size, shape and style will make it useful for work, field trips, college and, dare I say it, play. Lots of space for man gadgets, I suppose a few small tools or some such (who knows what men like to haul around in their purses?!) and it's well made with good quality hardware and fastenings.

David King And Co Large Distressed Laptop Messenger
If your man has a laptop, this is a great choice of man purse. If he's been especially good of late, he deserves it even more. It's a leather man bag, big enough to hold a laptop up to 16" in size, as well as a variety of peripherals and other guy stuff.
It's crafted to protect whatever is inside it and despite being able to carry a laptop, it's still spacious enough to contains files and folders, small handheld gadgets, pens, cards and more. The distressed leather gives it a definite vintage appearance, always a good thing for guys, and it's certainly stylish, classic and masculine.

Premium Military Field Bags (Black)
This man purse will appeal to the little soldier in your life. Or maybe the big one. The shape and style is reminiscent of the type of bag use in the military and the overall appearance will definitely appeal to most men. It's black, heavyweight canvas and full of room for the important man paraphernalia - gizmos, pens, a bag lunch, that kind of thing.
We like the price of this one, less than 20 bucks and as we're well aware that most men turn inside out at the thought of their women over-spending, this one should appeal to their common sense side. It covers all the right basics; masculine in appearance, large and roomy, versatile, and yet appeals to their need to spend as little as possible.

If you love fun, fashion, floral prints and vibrant colors, you’ll love Vera Bradley bags. There’s a whole range of wonderful purses, full of life and creative designs that are affordable, unique and designed with real women in mind.
Every bag designed by the company is distinctive and elegant, yet able to function as any well designed bag should - user friendly, able to cope with what every woman wants from her favorite purse, and yet still have the ability to look stylish and individual.
The range covers everything from wristlets to luggage, and all feature the signature design that’s become synonymous with the Vera Bradley name. They’re a handbag to be proud of, and after two decades of designing purses and accessories for the handbag market, the designs remain as fresh and innovative as they did 20 years ago.
One of the best selling Vera Bradley bags is the Hipster. It’s available in 15 different shades and patterns and can be worn as a standard shoulder bag or worn as a crossbody bag if you prefer your bag on your hip.
At 11 inches square, they’re spacious and come with an inner zipped pocket and two smaller pockets positioned on the exterior. Made from 100% cotton, they’re all machine washable and able to stand up to normal day-to-day use. They’re versatile and can be found in the possession of both the young and the more mature women, and overall they’re a great choice of bag for just about anyone.
The tote style is a popular choice from the Vera Bradley bags range and again, they’re available in a range of colors and designs. They’re fully lined, with a button closure and a roomy interior pocket.
This is a great work or day purse, they’re a good size, and can be dressed up or down depending on your day ahead. There’s plenty of room if something catches your eye whilst out shopping, and just as much space for your work gear, loose change and makeup favorites. Go monochrome with Night and Day, be daring and choose ‘Loves me’, or go floral with the gorgeous and dreamy Purple Punch.
Of the various Vera Bradley bags, this one is possibly the most rounded. It’s large enough to become a versatile purse, yet stylish enough to use as a carry-all, a work tote or the trusty and reliable handbag-to-go.
Like the previous bag, it features the same range of colors and designs, allowing you to choose anything from the hot and sassy Dahlia to the ultra stylish Baroque. The design includes three small pockets, an inner zipped pocket and an external zip pocket that’s great for dropping your keys and loose change into. It’s a great shoulder bag, and happily there’s one to suit most personalities and characters.

This is a Vera Bradley crossbody bag, styled like a mailbag and available in ten different designs and shades. This is a firm favorite with younger women, not least because the design is perfectly suited to college life.
It features a zippered pocket that’s placed on the front flap, with another placed on the rear of the flap that’s good for smaller items/possessions. On either side there’s a slip pocket, which is a useful addition for cell phones, iPods and similar and the interior is big enough to contain books, wallets and other study related material. A great gift idea for the fashion conscious teen, the return-to-study mom or … just because.
The last to be showcased of the Vera Bradley bags is the Metropolitan. It’s a larger than average bag and can be used for a variety of reasons. There’s a handy sleeve, on the rear of the bag that allows you to safely secure it onto travel luggage.
It’s spacious enough to work well as a bag for a busy, on-the-go mom, or it can be used as a handbag for the serious shopper. From a travel perspective, it’s a good size for a piece of carry-on luggage and features a range of pockets and compartments that make travel an easier, less stressful task. Overall it offers a lot of use; plenty of room, it’s well made and as it’s available in a range of colors, there’s a shade and design to keep everyone happy.
