It’s official. In the same way I tried to will away skinny jeans and the return of the black tights circa 1980, I must now submit to the fashion powers that be on the staying power of the mega designer oversized clutch that is being carried by mega stars. I love fashion and style and try not to hide from new trends, but I also like function and I must be honest, clutches do not carry well in ...

More birds. And more redbirds. But they're vintage redbirds this time, so that makes it okay (doesn't it?). By San Francisco designer, Liz Saintsing, who refurbishes vintage bags, this jewel box bag costs
Brighten up your day with the ultimate indulgence: a Nancy Gonzalez purse. The designer’s Crocodile Leather Clutch has been reincarnated for spring to reflect the season’s passion for color and femininity. The light citrus hue is a great alternative to the usual shocking, in-your-face, primal yellow seen elsewhere, and the bow is a dainty touch that makes it different from the usual Gonzalez fare. It’s a beauty, and such a pretty choice for wearing with a fresh sundress and heels. ...

Box clutches are an insane passion of mine. From Bottega Veneta to vintage, I find them to be the absolute most chic clutch a woman can carry, especially for evening. This Jeweled Box Clutch from Oscar de la Renta is a box clutch lover’s dream. Embellished with jewels on both sides, the purse has loads of depth thanks to the tonal details. Not just another little black handbag, this clutch has leather trim on the ...
I've never heard of a "matinee purse" before. Is that a purse you only use in the afternoon? Whatever, I'm always on the lookout for a shiny new purse, so this one fits the bill. I love the shape, the colour and the oversized buckle, plus, you can't see it here, but it's got a
About a month ago, I tried to impress upon you the fabulousness of the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Wallet, and today, I’m at it again. If you have just one clutch in your bag collection, it should be this one: the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Clutch in a lovely, subtle metallic shade. It’s ladylike enough to carry to the snootiest of affairs (a la Nicole Kidman on the red carpet, who has an enviable collection of Bottega Veneta ...
Some people may already be aware that I am slightly obsessed with sausage dogs. Just the sight of one in the Street can instantly improve my day and I yearn to own one of my own. I even mention it in the Shiny Media, What is style video.
Whether you opt for a soft rose or a vivacious hot pink, one thing is clear as spring approaches: The most feminine shade in the book is also the color to wear during the season. If you favor the latter type, you’ll flip for this Lauren Merkin Sequined Clutch. It’s a great way to incorporate the glitzy, dressy side of this bold color into your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Merkin’s purses are abundantly roomy and generally put other ...
I love the mellow tangerine hue on this adorable Tory Burch Suzi Straw Clutch. I have to give credit to Tory for fashioning what might be one of the most daytime-appropriate clutches I’ve ever seen. It’s delicately embellished with the brand logo, trimmed with thick strips of colorful leather (it’s also available in ivory) and finished in natural straw. Perfect for that springtime sundress you’re planning to throw on as soon as it warms up, this little purse will ...
I am nuts for day clutches, and want to go out and buy practically every one that I see. Luckily, my senses (and bank account) grab me before I do this, but this little purse is one I may actually purchase. The Marc Jacobs Patchwork Eugenie is at eluxury.com for only $395, which is a whooping nice price compared to most day clutches we usually feature. The Patchwork leather is a more modern take on the usual quilting ...
The Prada Spazzalato Clutch just make some Prada fans indeed spaz a-lot-o! The Neiman’s exclusive is a great piece for any Prada collector, or a great way to begin a collection. Limited edition pieces from this label sell out in the blink of an eye, so any time you have a chance to land a special version of their bags, jump. In the event you hate it later, you can always resell to a Prada fanatic. This handbag really shines ...
This interesting Kate Spade Katy Katherine Paola clutch isn’t going to wow anyone with its incredible beauty, but it’s a great choice if you’re a fan of daytime clutches. Roomy enough to hold just the sort of essentials you would carry in a slim clutch, this purse is low-key in a shade of navy trimmed with gold. The petal-like embellishments on the front are a cute touch, and the strap makes it easy to keep within your grasp. It’s ...
I do love that this Marc Jacobs clutch opens up much larger than it looks, but the contrast stitching and dull, lifeless leather leave me wanting other clutches. And you should never buy a handbag that makes you only think of your next purchase (although we know there will be one!). The MBMJ Leather Clutch seems to be a staple in the collection, but there are so many other options when it comes to small bags that it ...
Practically unrecognizable as a Nancy Gonzalez design at first glance, the Whipsnake Boxed Clutch is surprisingly a bit of a bore. Normally I’m pretty enthusiastic about Gonzalez’s exotic, glamorous handbags all done up in their rich skins. This is clearly well made; it’s evident in the intricate stitching and smooth interior, but it’s not exactly up to par with what we’ve all come to expect from Gonzalez. Considering there are so many enticing clutches to carry on a big night ...
