The Unexpected "It" Bags of 2012?

Yes, according Refinery 29. I must say, there are many strong contenders....I think that I'm most impressed by Dooney & Bourke's duffle bag. They've definitely "freshened" things up a bit, to the delight of many, I'm sure. I also like the idea of Proenza Schouler's camera bag. It just screams spring. Lacoste's offering is another favorite along with Victoria Beckham's sleek classic.

Treat yourself and your SLR with this adorable camera case/ bag (that also doubles as a cheeky evening clutch).



Proenza Schouler Camera Case Bag, $1850, available soon at ProenzaSchouler.com.


We predict businesswomen everywhere will be clawing each other over this bag next year. In a zillion colorways, this has the potential to be the next Birkin.



Reed Krakoff Boxer Bag, $990, available at Reed Krakoff.


This heritage brand has somehow made their super-traditional designs feel fresh again. We love this zipped duffel!



Dooney & Burke Jones Bag, $398, available at Dooney & Burke.


Laser-cut perfection!



ASOS Lazer Cut Clutch, $45.45, available at ASOS.

Leather and metal — what the Wang does best.



Alexander Wang Robyn Hardware Bag, $985, available at Alexander Wang.


This new Dior bag comes in a lovely camo print, which spices up this otherwise traditional shape.



Dior Presents Anselm Reyle For Dior Bag, available at Dior stores this January.


A minaudiere with some attitude.



Diane von Furstenberg Patent-Leather Clutch, $319, available at Matches.


A cute crossbody we predict we'll be seeing on the shoulders of coeds everywhere.



Gap Contrast Crossbody Bag, $44.95, available at Gap.


They already had a hit on their hands, but Longchamps went and gave their ecru Balzane tote a safari-style makeover for spring, combining ecru linen canvas with a delicious honey-and-taupe leather trim.



Shop the style at longchamp.com.
Do you think you're ready for this jelly? This tote is rainproof and frown-proof.



MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Frosted Jelly Tote, $268, available at Macy's.


Leopard, lace, sequins, brocades, and any other kind of fabric you can think of — they're all represented here. This bag is for the woman who can't make up her mind.



Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Top Handle Bag, $1,051, available at Luisa via Roma.


A flap satchel you can pick up at your local (Canadian) grocery store? Yes, please!



Joe Fresh Stripe Tote, $49, available in May at Joe Fresh, 110 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10010; 212-366-0960.


Emma Stone's already been spotted carrying this Lanvin bag (a lot!), and we're incredible jealous. We bet you could fit a bowling ball and the entire bowling team in there.



Lanvin Bowling Bag, $2,500 - $4,000, available this March in Lanvin stores.


The bucket bag to end all bucket bags.



Lacoste Cathy Bag, $795, available at Lacoste stores this April.


Minimalism at its best.
