Mimeki's fall arrivals are gorgeous.

Consider:
The Kennedy, black, with black patent leather trim, and navy lining.



Or the Kinshasa, purple leather, with purple suede and silver accents, nickel hardware, and brown lining.

Verdina's spring 2008 golf collection features mix-and-match pieces that blend with your current wardrobe and work on or off the links. They include "green" fabrics like modal, tencel, and bamboo; and when you buy a pink polo, called "kisses" (above, left), 50 percent of profits go to breast-cancer research.

Yoginis might enjoy the YotoBag, fun and functional. It comes in a cotton style with a pocket on the outside and an upholstered version without the pocket. The pocket has room for eyeglasses, cell phone, keys, and checkbook. An inside pocket has room for your yoga eye pillow, cash, and valuables.

Another fun, practical, unusual bag is the Baggu, a flat-bottomed carry-all that comes in eight vibrant colors, and folds up in its own little pouch for inclusion in a bigger bag, briefcase, or pocket. Made of ripstop nylon, it weighs less than two ounces, but it's tough enough to carry 25 pounds of groceries. They cost just $8 (with matching pouch), $22 for a threepack, or $38 for a six pack. Stocking stuffer and stocking in one!
