Carla Mancini Front Bow Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Carla Mancini likes to keep things simple, with few embellishments and the focus being firmly placed on the silhouette and quality of materials. The Spring 2011 collection includes several of these pretty bow-front clutches, this one in bright turquoise and others in lemon yellow and white. They all include a chain strap, presumably detachable or hideable inside, and are great for pairing with pretty casual sundresses during the day or your favorite LBD in the evening. A timeless investment piece since bows never go out of style. $228
