By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Just like shiny shoes, metallic handbags are ultra-hot this season. From totes to satchels, and designer purses to bargain bags; gold, silvers and shimmery candy colors are being seen on the arms of women around the world.

If like me, and "shiny" is among your favorite colors, there's bound to be at least one metallic handbag on this list you'll love.

And if you haven't already, be sure to check out these Top Picks in Metallic Shoes, as well.

1. Pietro Alessandro Metallic Handbags - Python Embossed Slouch

Made from python embossed metallic leather, these slouchy handbags have just enough sheen to sparkle, without blowing your mind. This roomy bag has a rhinestone studded buckle and chains on the handle. Available in coffee or a stunning shade of silver.

2. Green Street Designs - Metallic Baguette Handbag

Small enough that the metallic finish isn't overwhelming, this baguette-styled handbag is extremely hip. Offered in gold or silver, this cute bag has strap with a drop of 9.5 inches, that is connected to the bag with large hoop hardware.

3. Metallic Foil Hobo Bag

A classic hobo with metallic so shiny you'll want matching silk shorts and roller skates. Or so you would have in 1977. Now you'll just have to settle for the bag, washed-out flared jeans and a nice pair of clogs. Maybe it's not all that different after all.

4. J Lo 'Badda-Bling' Metallic Handbag

This one comes as a hobo or a satchel and you can't go wrong with either. Lives up to its bling name with metallic leather and stud and jewel accents. The hobo over your shoulder says big city like few bags can.

5. Stuart Weitzman Handbags - "Stargazer"

Little surprise that I love this bag. Shimmery silver metallic with wonderful shiny stars... but wait! Pull out the inner silvery pouch and you have a clear plastic tote with wonderful shiny stars. Probably too much for your senses to absorb. Take a couple of minutes. Get a drink of water. Relax before going to the next bag.
