It's another "love it or hate it" animal-inspired clutch by Judith Leiber, this time a gracefully crouching leopard covered from head to toe in hand-placed Swarovski crystals. Not a bag you can carry with just anything, this Wildcat Crystal-Embellished Clutch is probably best when left to shine and paired with all black, like a LBD. The few surfaces that aren't crystallized are goldtone hardware, including the push-clasp fastening and chain handle that can be hidden inside for true clutch fashion. It has leopard paws engraved on the base, gold leather lining the interior, and comes with a miniature designer-engraved vanity. $5,495
