Christian Louboutin Mia Satin Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Mia Satin Evening BagThe Christian Louboutin Mia Satin Evening Bag is a simple, elegant bag with enough character to hold its own against your flashiest evening wear.

The clean lines of the bag make it easy to pair with a classic gown or cocktail dress, and it's simple enough to be carried by even a very young lady.

Inside this little (8"W X 6"H X 2½"D) bag, you will find a shock of bright, peachy-red satin, as well as the traditional logo plate and a small pocket. The delicate, yet durable goldtone chain has an adjustable 22" drop, and complements the conservative shape of the other shiny hardware, including the classic Louboutin heels, upside-down when the clasp is closed and folded, as pictured.

We'd love to see this matched with a highly structured dress, one which mirrors the line of the hardware with its seams. Still, there's something youthful enough about the glamour of this bag to make it an easy and appropriate go-to for a night on the town.

The Christian Louboutin Mia Satin Evening Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $995.00.

The 1.4-lb. Sony Vaio, Just Right for Your Evening Bag
Holiday party time is approaching fast, and before you know it you'll be trading in that summer tote bag you're still holding on to for a pretty little evening bag. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take along your laptop for that moment when you need to do a quick e-mail check, or map out a route to the next fete, and you don't have a BlackBerry? Wait ... what kind of person is so uncool, such a Luddite, that she doesn't have a BlackBerry? Me. But I'm getting one soon, promise. In the meantime, if I had Sony's tiny, 1.4-lb. P Series Lifestyle PC, I could just slip it in my bag and go. Dimensions are just 4.8 in. x 9.7 in. x 0.8 in., and it comes in red (shown), green, gold, white, and black. The tech specifications are too much to get into here, but Amazon has all the info you need. Or keep reading after the jump for the official data from Sony's website. $999.99

Miniature Magnolia Box by Judith Leiber, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

clutch
Judith Leiber's tiny clutches are not new to Luxist but I couldn't resist her Miniature Magnolia Box. Maybe it's my family's southern heritage or the giant magnolia blooms that used to amaze me with their fragrant scent and larger-than-life size (at least for a girl from the arid west). The entire little evening bag is smothered in rhinestone crystals like a perfectly iced cake and features a push-top closure and hinged bottom. Each side of the box shines with a different take on the iconic blossom like having a split personality with an angelic, lightly-hued flower on one side and it's darker, more mischievous cousin on the other. Although palm-sized (2" by 2") this little bag will illuminate your ensemble with the right touch of pizazz. ($535)

Swarovksi Fizzy Jet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Swarovski's elegant holiday evening bag is a shoulder-held bag in black eelskin set with jet crystals. The shoulder strap is removable and the closure is decorated with shiny Jet crystal pavé. It sells for $3,400.

Evening Rana Pouch by Marc Jacobs, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Only women looking to make a serious statement, and who really like frogs, will buy and carry this Evening Rana Pouch by Marc Jacobs. It might not be the boldest wristlet out there, but with an over-sized golden frog (complete with glittering gemstone eyes) perched brazenly on the front it's hardly subtle. Made of kangaroo leather with a lining of silk my favorite feature is the attractive single strap loop-through closure. And if the black isn't bright enough for you now worries, there's always the hot pink option (in case the golden frog alone just isn't going to turn enough heads). 8" x 5 1/2" x 6", $795.

D&G Satin Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This is an evening bag that should make any woman feel elegant, feminine, and timeless. The D&G Satin Evening Bag has a slight 'old-fashioned' vibe, in a good way, and would be the perfect accessory for a favorite little black dress. Made of fine satin inside and out, plus with polished gold hardware and metal grained leather trim it has the look of shimmering elegance without trying too hard by adding jewels or other bling. The bag folds up to open at the top via a kiss-lock closure and to reveal a D&G logo on the front, just above the pleats. 9 1/2" x 5 1/2" (when folded) x 1/2", $455.

Judith Leiber Marquis, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Metallics never seem to go out of style, and when it comes to accenting an evening gown with a handbag some glistening silver mixed with a little Austrian crystal sparkle is never a bad idea. The crisp silver combined with a sunburst flower petal design on the Marquis by Judith Leiber make it a great bag for all seasons (it could pass as an ice and snowflake pattern in the winter) but of course it's really an essential for spring. It has a push down snap closure, lined interior, chain handle with a 9.5" drop, plus it comes boxed up all pretty with a keepsake bag. 5" x 4" x 1.5", $1295.


Clara Kasavina Bling Bling, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


The words "bling bling" conjure images of something gaudy and over-the-top, which I don't think is appropriate for this lovely little bag. Obviously vintage-inspired, the 'fabric' of this metal-frame bag is created from linked Crystals, forming an open weave of jewels over the silver lining. More crystals dot the handle and the clasp is set with a large Swarovski Crystal accent. Measuring 8"W X 5½" D, this perfect party bag sells for $900.

Jimmy Choo Cecile Crystal Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Take a simple satin bag and cover it with humongous black crystals and this is what you get. The stones themselves are stunning, but seem a bit heavy for the petite bag. But the black chain handle is perfect and the matching logo plaque is just discreet enough. The bag closes with a press stud and features two inner pockets. $1995.

Juicy Couture Frame Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I don't generally go for Juicy Couture, but this bag caught my eye. I think it is the subtle pink color peeking out beneath the gold metallic leather that gives this bag a touch of unexpected sophistication. That, and the fact that the leather itself isn't blindingly bright. With a flirty little bow and classic kiss-lock closure, this clutch would actually look good on an adult. And at $95, you could get it in both silver and gold.

Lanvin Oulala Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This is one gorgeous bag. The chunky black 'jewel' embellishment is pretty on its own, but I love the way it is attached to the flap with soft satin ribbon. A simple suede strap would have worked just fine on this bag, but the snake chain adds much more interest and versatility - it coverts from a shoulder to a wrist strap. Available in deep black suede as shown or in a lighter camel color, it measures 10" x 5½" x 3" and sells for $1335.

Kara E. Jones Lotus, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This isn't just a beautiful handbag. It's an original work of art created by mixing unusual materials with traditional Hawaiian techniques. This feathered creation features teal-colored sueded silk charmeuse hand-embellished with richly colored peacock feathers. The stunningly original bag is finished with a handmade clay tile closure and a long, soft strap. This delicate bag is definitely for special-occasions only. Measuring 10"H by 9"W, it sells for $730 at The Artful Home.

Celestina Cracked Mirror Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Broken mirrors are said to be bad luck, but I think I would take my chances with this clutch. Like bringing your own disco ball to the party, this evening bag will add sparkle and shine to a night out. Inlaid with reflective silver tiles, this unique bag opens with a hidden magnetic closure and measures 6" x 3½" x 2½". It is lined with white microsuede and sells for $1130.

Leiber Glisten Floral Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


One look at this gorgeous floral clutch and it is easy to see why Leiber was named the most prestigious handbag brand in the Luxury Institute's 2007 Luxury Brand Status Index survey. Covered in Austrian crystals and trimmed in gold-tone metal, the clutch is feminine and colorful. An optional 15" chain strap is included and the interior is lined in napa leather. Measuring 3 ¼"H x 6"W x 1 ¾"D, the clutch is hand-crafted and sells for $3,595.

Gucci Crystal Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Gucci calls these 'crystal' evening bags, but there are no crystals to be seen. Who needs crystals with all this sleek style? The slim clutches are available in mirror gold, black or red carpet and feature light gold or silver-tone horse-bit buckle details. With a magnetic snap closure and engraved Gucci script logo, the bags measure a dainty 3 ½"H x 8 ½ "W x ¾4"D and sell for $495.
