In the world of fabulous handbags, there are two must-have sizes: diminutive clutchs, mid-sized hobos and those huge, almost-like-luggage, carry-everything-you-can think-of, I-think-I’ve-hurt-my-back really big bags. We shall focus on the latter.

High-end designers have many beautiful, but expensive, offerings. Celebrities carry giant bags with them everywhere:

• Bottega Veneta has a lovely leopard print jumbo bag for $5,500
• At Net-a-Porter, Jimmy Choo’s patent shoulder bag is wonderful, and it’s $2,495
• Tod’s has a buttery gray leather bag at eluxury for $1,675 (pictured)
• A  snazzy Sergio Rossi patent leather duffle for $1,550
• For some perspective, Ralph Lauren’s pretty alligator Ricky bag is $16,995

• And for a little more perspective, you can snatch a coveted Hermes Birkin bag on eBay for $42,500
• Back to reality: Michael Kors has a lovely deep red patent Astor tote for $348
• Cole Haan’s light tan tote is on sale for $237 at Bluefly
• There’s also a succulent Prada lambskin tote on sale for $1,608 (yes, it’s expensive, but it was $2,010)

Coming in a tad cheaper:

• There is a buttery soft equestrian Juicy Couture shoulder bag ($395), and a precious Kate Spade satin (white or purple) bag at ebags for $150
• Tignanello has a multi-pocketed shopper in many shades for $139
• Jessica Simpson has some cute patent satchels at a mere $98
• But our favorite big bag deal of the day is Simply Vera’s Vera Wang hobo at Kohl’s for $62 (pictured, right)
