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

Though some thought they heard the death knells of the It Bag last year, we think they were mistaken. It's true that flashy pieces like the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, the Hermès Birkin, and the Louis Vuitton Speedy might have fallen out of favor for being… well, too flashy, but that doesn't mean you can't find a bag that will still feel special in that subtle way you crave. 2012 is chock-full of options that are practical and beautiful, and range from impulse-buy prices to higher-end pieces worth setting aside a chunk of your paycheck. Here are our picks for the most likely contenders for 2012's It Bags!

Proenza Schouler Camera Case Bag. This new Dior bag comes in a lovely camo print,

which spices up this otherwise traditional shape. 

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

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

ASOS Lazer Cut Clutch. Laser-cut perfection!

Diane von Furstenberg Patent-Leather Clutch. A minaudiere with some attitude.

They already had a hit on their hands, but Longchamp 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.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Top Handle Bag. 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.
