The <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/AlexanderMcQueen/">Alexander McQueen</a> <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/106028#">Iris Plexiglas Box Clutch</a> is one of those statement pieces that's sure to garner glances and comments and envy whenever and wherever you carry it. The construction is pretty simple considering its impact: molded plexigas topped with a <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Swarovski/">Swarovski</a>-embellished gold metal clasp depicting a skull sitting inside a fully opened iris bloom. Very gothic-chic (as the brand does so well) but with a decidedly lighter vibe this time. Features are basic but include a gold metal frame and inside there's white leather trim. $2,295<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/05/16/alexander-mcqueen-iris-plexiglas-box-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Alexander McQueen Iris Plexiglas Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Mon, 16 May 2011 17:02:00 EST.

Easter may be over for this year but this little golden egg is a seasonless one that you can carry all year long. What really makes this <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/105839">Minaudiere Metal Oval Clutch</a> by <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Lanvin/">Lanvin</a> so special is its decorative (and detachable) multistranded golden chain shoulder strap -- when you wear the bag cross-body style it acts as an extra embellishment, almost like a large statement necklace of sorts. The bag itself is a gold metal covered oval <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/miniaudiere/">miniaudiere</a> with a push lock clasp closure and a fully lined black satin interior. $2,825<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/05/11/lanvin-minaudiere-metal-oval-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Lanvin Minaudiere Metal Oval Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 11 May 2011 17:03:00 EST.

The pattern is one of those "so ugly it's cool" designs and the zebra part of this <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/160427#">Swash Zebra Scarf Silk Crepe de Chine Bags</a> isn't obvious at first but it's there if you really look. The relaxed shape is uber comfortable in off-white silk crepe de chine with a single, extra wide black leather shoulder strap. Other features include designer stamped tag, an open top, and an interior lined in brown cotton (it's wrinkled a little like a brown paper bag). Proof that statement bags don't have to be just for evening. $505<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/05/10/swash-zebra-scarf-silk-crepe-de-chine-bag-handbag-of-the-day/">Swash Zebra Scarf Silk Crepe de Chine Bag, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 10 May 2011 17:02:00 EST.

Saying "orange, pink, and mustard" doesn't sound very appealing but looking at orange, pink, and mustard on this <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/105891">Lucky Chyc Color-Block Tote</a> by <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/YvesSaintLaurent/">Yves Saint Laurent</a> is another story altogether. Throw in some taupe, dark brown, and off-white and you've got an earthy but very modern take on color blocking. Details include visible black quilt stitch trim, very thin rolled leather double top handles, a "Y" compartment on the front exterior, protective feet, and a taupe twill lining with brown leather interior pouch pockets. In true tote style there's no top closure and no shoulder strap. $1,350<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/05/09/yves-saint-laurent-lucky-chyc-color-block-tote-handbag-of-the-d/">Yves Saint Laurent Lucky Chyc Color-Block Tote, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Mon, 09 May 2011 17:02:00 EST.

The woven look makes me think basket, and baskets make me think summer, green meadows, and picnics, so it's no wonder I like this <a href="http://store.carlamancini.com/mediumflapoverwovenprintbagwithbraidedhandle.aspx">Medium Flap Over Woven Print Bag</a> from <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/CarlaMancini/">Carla Mancini</a>. It's very golden and rich, featuring a slightly slouchy shape to keep all that crazy texture looking relaxed and easy breezy for the season. Features include a single braided leather top handle, detachable shoulder strap, zippered front exterior pocket, and a roomy, fully lined interior. A deeper, more interesting way to accessorize your neutrals this summer. $490<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/05/08/carla-mancini-flap-over-woven-print-bag-handbag-of-the-day/">Carla Mancini Flap Over Woven Print Bag, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Sun, 08 May 2011 17:03:00 EST.

It's slouchy, weathered, and casual, but also a little tough, edgy, and even glamorous. It features faded black leather with crocodile-effect trim, signature intrecciato detailing, and an adjustable shoulder strap with padding. The fold-over flap front closes via a small tab with a press stud (cute but not the most convenient to fasten) plus there's a pocket on the outside rear and several inside the roomy interior.

This bag makes me happy. <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/MeredithWendell/">Meredith Wendell</a> takes the season's color-blocking trend and gives it a preppy, slightly artsy vibe for giving everyday casuals a boost of energetic vibrance.

This sherbet-hued creation from <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/MarcJacobs/">Marc Jacobs</a> offers a lot in the way of color and personality despite being quite simple. The <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/105731#">Snake Suede and Leather Clutch</a> features raspberry suede paired with orange leather and raspberry python trim -- literally in the form of a python. The little snake has a small brown leather tongue and eyelash details, plus as a single pink crystal eye. The bag closes via concealed magnetic closure and the interior is divided into three compartments, the center zipped, and is lined in brown leather. $1,095<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/04/29/marc-jacobs-snake-suede-and-leather-clutch-handbag-of-the-day/">Marc Jacobs Snake Suede and Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Fri, 29 Apr 2011 17:02:00 EST.

Few do faux leather as well as <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/StellaMcCartney/">Stella McCartney</a>, and this reincarnation of her Falabella style is no exception. The ultra-thin style doesn't leave much room for stashing any but the most basic of necessities but the sophisticated rocker-glam vibe it puts off is more than worth it.

The <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/105689#">New Bamboo Stud-Embellished Leather Tote</a> from <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Gucci/">Gucci</a> is a structured modern gem, and (for some reason) it makes me think of licorice. It's all layers of vibrant black leather with rows of small gold stud details, braiding, thick leather tassels, a detachable luggage tag and woven shoulder strap, and of course the single glossy black bamboo top handle. It also has a small stud and bamboo twist-lock closure on the fold-over flap front. Inside it's lined raffia and has one zippered pocket, plus a mirror and leather mirror sleeve. $4,200<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/04/27/gucci-new-bamboo-stud-embellished-tote-handbag-of-the-day/">Gucci New Bamboo Stud-Embellished Tote, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:01:00 EST.

The <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/105832#">Dear Danae Cabas Two-Tone Leather Shoulder Bag</a> by <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/Lanvin/">Lanvin</a> is deceptively simple in appearance -- what at first glance is a very basic, monochromatic style quickly becomes a versatile, transformative favorite. The darker taupe section on the front (under the foldover top) can be removed to create a slimmer, more lightweight look or to be carried as a separate clutch. The bag features short double top handles, a long shoulder strap, a slight all-over crinkle finish, gold hardware, and zip-top closures on both the main body and the detachable clutch compartment. Inside it's lined in black canvas with a designer plaque and one zip pocket. $1,790<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.luxist.com"><img src="http://www.luxist.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Luxist" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.luxist.com/2011/04/26/lanvin-dear-danae-cabas-two-tone-bag-handbag-of-the-day/">Lanvin Dear Danae Cabas Two-Tone Bag, Handbag of the Day</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.luxist.com">Luxist</a> on Tue, 26 Apr 2011 17:03:00 EST.

<br />
Designers go a little crazy sometimes creating <a href="http://www.luxist.com/tag/handbag-of-the-day/">handbags</a> with outrageous features or price tags, all in the name of style, exclusivity, and pushing the boundaries of fashion. From clutches covered in diamonds to exotic skins dipped in 24-karat gold and even purses meant to look like garbage bags, we've seen it all.<br />
<br />
Although it's hard to imagine actually carrying some of these handbags (for example what shoes to wear with a cage clutch that resembles a small metal lobster trap?), it's easy to appreciate the unique beauty and creativity involved in these little works of art. We've compiled 10 of the strangest and most outrageous bags -- which are your favorites?<br />
