1. Buttery soft, lipstick-red leather is met with glossy patent accents and trim on Heather Hawkins’ San Tropez bag, and its curvy shape is surprisingly roomy. Available at Minx in Little Rock.

2. From Feinstein’s in Little Rock, Pa-Tou-Tou’s platinum bag is made of a fine mesh of real metal for an almost liquid look. All your goodies are sure to stay in place thanks to a strong magnetic closure and tethered gold pouch inside.

3. In a lighthearted lawn green, Tano’s envelope-inspired clutch is easy to dress up or down. The soft leather only gets more beautiful the more you use it, and it’s available at Sharon’s in Hot Springs.

4. The beauty of a brightly colored bag is that it goes with everything, and this yellow patent Hobo clutch, from Box Turtle in Little Rock, is no exception. It’s hard to resist the cutout handle or the fold-over top, but the saturated hue is the real star.

5. Metallic blue leather and bronze studs (not to mention the bright purple suede interior) give Kale’s Weyman bag a rock n’ roll feel, and its oversized construction makes it great for day or night. Available at Tallulah in Little Rock.
