Handbags, including soft handbags, are easily customizable by attaching or changing handbag covers of virtually any design. The handbag covers can include, at least in part, an essentially collapsible material, and are relatively small and easily stored. Accordingly, the aesthetic and design of handbags can be easily altered without requiring the purchase of different handbags of different styles. In at least one implementation of the present invention, the handbag covers essentially envelope the base handbag. Additionally, one or more implementations of the present invention include handbag covers that attach to a base handbag via a plurality of attachment forces.

The system as recited in claim 2, wherein the plurality of different attachment forces comprise at least magnetic forces. 4. The system as recited in claim 3, wherein the magnetic forces are provided by one or more magnets and one or more magnetic elements that are flush with one of the first and second base handbag attachment interfaces and the first and second handbag cover attachment interfaces. 5. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of different attachment forces comprise at least a mechanical force created by an elastic extending at least partially around an upper edge of the handbag cover, wherein the elastic is configured to automatically cinch the handbag cover in the absence of any counteracting force. 6. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the handbag cover is essentially collapsible. 7. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the one or more fastener elements of the first and second base handbag attachment interfaces and the one or more fastener elements of the first and second handbag cover attachment interfaces are positioned so as to be hidden from view before attachment of the handbag cover to the base handbag. 8. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a releasable handle configured to be releasably secured to the base handbag. 9. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein: the base handbag has two secondary base handbag attachment interfaces on opposing sides thereof;the handbag cover has two secondary handbag cover attachment interfaces on opposing sides thereof, the two secondary handbag cover attachment interfaces being configured to align with the two secondary base handbag attachment interfaces when the handbag cover is disposed about the base handbag; andfurther comprising a strap selectively connectable to both the base handbag and the handbag cover via the two secondary base handbag attachment interfaces and the two secondary handbag cover attachment interfaces when the handbag cover is disposed about the base handbag. 10. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of releasable clips configured to secure one or more of a releasable handle and a releasable strap to one or more of the base handbag and the handbag cover. 11. The system as recited in claim 10, wherein: at least one of the plurality of different attachment forces comprises a mechanical force provided by the plurality of releasable clips; andat least another of the plurality of different attachment forces comprises magnetic forces. 12. A handbag kit for customizing a handbag comprising: a base handbag having a first base handbag attachment interface on a first side and a second base handbag attachment interface on an opposing second side thereof, each of the first and second base handbag attachment interfaces having an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface;a first handbag cover selectively disposable about the base handbag and being capable of releasable attachment to the base handbag via a plurality of different attachment forces, the first handbag cover having a first first handbag cover attachment interface on a first side and a second first handbag cover attachment interface on an opposing second side thereof, the first and second first handbag cover attachment interfaces being configured to align respectively with the first and second base handbag attachment interfaces when the first handbag cover is disposed about the base handbag, wherein each of the first and second first handbag cover attachment interfaces is releasably and simultaneously securable to both the interior surface and the opposing exterior surface of the corresponding first and second base handbag attachment interfaces, the first handbag cover comprises a first aesthetic design;a second handbag cover selectively disposable about the base handbag and being capable of releasable attachment to the base handbag via a plurality of different attachment forces, the second handbag cover having a first second handbag cover attachment interface on a first side and a second second handbag cover attachment interface on an opposing second side thereof, the first and second second handbag cover attachment interfaces being configured to align respectively with the first and second base handbag attachment interfaces when the second handbag cover is disposed about the base handbag, wherein each of the first and second second handbag cover attachment interface is releasably and simultaneously securable to both the interior surface and the opposing exterior surface of the corresponding first and second base handbag attachment interfaces, the second handbag cover comprises a second aesthetic design that is different from the first aesthetic design; anda plurality of handles connected to the base handbag. 13. The kit as recited in claim 12, wherein each handbag cover is configured to be releasably secured to the base handbag via a plurality of different attachment forces comprising at least one of a gravitational force, a mechanical force, a frictional force, and a magnetic force. 14. The kit as recited in claim 12, wherein at least one of the handles is configured to further secure at least a portion of the base handbag and a portion of a handbag cover together through a plurality of secondary attachment interfaces. 15.
