I'm not completely convinced that the Heart Bag from Diane von Furstenberg's H. Stern collection is a handbag that is meant to be carried by anyone, despite the fact that it is a clutch-sized container. The piece is a one-of-a-kind "bag," handmade by a master goldsmith. It measures only 6" in diameter and has a clasp concealed by the love knot detail on the front. Inside, the bag has black suede lining and enough room for keys, a lipstick and perhaps a cell phone. The short black silk strap ensures that you'll have the bag in hand, not over your shoulder, which is just as well given that it is priced at $36,000.
