Pockets aren't just for jeans or coats anymore. True, there used to be a time when the most you could hope for was a small zipper pocket on the inside of your bag. But those days are gone as pockets have become outerwear for handbags.
Baghaus Lady D Satchel - $38.52
Our Lady D Satchel is small and compact but still has a total of five pockets to hide your valuables. Three on the inside and two with a magnetic closure on the outside.
Baghaus Juliette Pocket Handbag - $52.20
A part of our new Urban Expressions line, the Juliette Pocket Handbag features three inner pockets (one zipped) and one large snap pocket on the front. There are also two zipper pockets on the sides for a total of six places to stash your goodies.
Baghaus Large Pockets Hobo - $45.00
We don't think we need to tell you the size of the pockets on our Large Pockets Hobo. Some things just explain themselves.
Baghaus Large Pocket Satchel - $42.00
We love this Large Pocket Satchel because it gives you easy access to a large pocket without opening the bag. We also love the frame shape and kiss lock closure as well, a rarity with pocket purses.
Baghaus Genuine Leather Large Pockets Satchel - $182.75
If you like the Large Pocket Satchel but prefer genuine leather instead of leatherette, we have that for you too, in all of its pocket-filled authentic glory.
Michael Kors ID Hobo via Neiman Marcus - $1,195.00
The Duchess has created a new set of handbags and we just had to make an inspired version for our Baghaus readers. In case you don't know who the Duchess is, we are referring to Michael Kors, he of Project Runway, which we hope is one again soon. It's been far, far too long since last season!
Oh, but back to the handbags!
Red Baghaus ID Chain Hobo - $49.99
The ID chain hobos are not quite what they sound like. When a purse has the word 'chain' in the name, your first thought is likely that it has a chain strap. That is simply not the case here. The chain is actually woven into the bag material on each side, making for a stunning and unique effect that we have painstakingly recreated on the Baghaus ID Chain Hobo.

Now, don't get us wrong! We absolutely love the trend towards oversized bags right now. They allow us to nurture our inner packrat without looking like a bag lady. That being said, we sometimes tire of carrying duffel-sized purses, and for smaller outings that don't require enough space to fit half your purchases in it, there has to be some alternatives in your wardrobe.
Enter Michael Kors, the Duchess of Project Runway. We have always liked his aesthetic – catchy without being outrageous, classic and held in when need be. We also like his prices compared to most other big name designers. Granted, a purse like his Astor satchels
may still cost you $290, but compared to say, a $2,900 bag, it really is a bargain.
Of course, at Baghaus we not only have a better bargain, but quite possibly the ultimate one. We have four gorgeous Astor-inspired bags in three colors. The Baghaus Astor satchel comes in black, brown and camel and an Astor shoulder bag in black.
The Baghaus Astor Satchel - $32.99
The Baghaus Astor Shoulder Bag - $49.99
The prices on these bags range from $32.99 to $49.99, making our version of the Astor an affordable alternative to both Michael Kors and all the other overpriced 'it' bags of the moment. Buy one or four – your back will thank you.
