Oriental Samurai Skull Silk-Satin Box Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

You can probably guess who designed this bag just by looking at it, who else but Alexander McQueen? Oriental meets high fashion meets old-fashioned glamour meets McQueen in the Oriental Samurai Skull Silk-Satin Box Clutch. It's a combination made in heaven (or the opposite of perhaps, based on the clasp). The bag features box-clutch styling done up in black silk-satin with gold embroidery and beaded appliqués, a golden Samurai skull clasp at top with black Swarovski crystal eyes, a golden hardware frame, and a black leather lining. No chain shoulder strap on this one, detachable or otherwise, and no internal pockets. $2,195

Stella McCartney Falabella citrus-print cotton clutch

Welcome spring with this vibrant and fruity Falabella Citrus-Print Cotton Clutch from Stella McCartney.

A fresh burst of whimsy perfect for wearing with a white sundress while sipping lemonade. $795

Filed under: Handbags

The Kate Spade New York Book of the Month "Emanuelle" Frame Clutch blends fashion with culture with romance to create a simple but surprisingly bold accessory. It's hard for anything with prominent letters or words not to catch the eye but this one does it in a pretty and very feminine way in pale pink PVC. Inside it's fully lined in a cute black and white cotton twill bookstripe print and it has three compartments, the center one zippered, while outside it has metallic foiled leather and enamel trim.

The front says "Emma Jane Austin" and on the back "It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself." $325

Lanvin Amalia Trousse Quilted Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Lanvin redoes their iconic Amalia bag this time as the Amalia Trousse Quilted Leather Clutch. I can't decide if it looks more like a makeup bag or a sexy boudoir-inspired an evening accessory but either way it features a large-pattern quilted raspberry leather body with pink satin trim and a combination of silver and gold hardware. It also has a designer-stamped hanging tag, pink grosgrain tassel, and zip-top closure. Inside it's lined in printed black twill and there are no pockets or handles whatsoever. $585

Miu Miu Appliqued Metallic Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This Miu Miu Appliquéd Metallic Leather Clutch takes "rockstar" to a very literal level with large overlapping stars in gold and black layered on silver. I don't think I'd take the recommendation and wear it with a busy black and white starry dress (a simple LBD would be much better) but if you're looking for a stand-out bag that has a fresh and hip energy this could certainly work. Features include silver hardware, a detachable leather shoulder strap with cutout detail, a triple-compartment interior, and a blush leather interior with lots of pockets. $1,350

Etro Suede and Snakeskin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Suede and Snakeskin Clutch by Etro is a vintage inspired piece that looks to me like something inspired by ancient and exotic royalty -- like a coat of arms. The look is created by covering a gold frame with multicolored suede and snakeskin, scalloped edges and gold chain trim, and a little of one of this season's biggest trends: color blocking. It closes via designer-stamped push-lock fastening on the top, has a detachable gold chain shoulder strap, and is lined in black with one interior welt pocket. $1,350

Lanvin Happy Pop Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Seventies chic is alive and well. For the past few seasons, we've been seeing traces of the 70's with a modern interpretation in the runway collections of Chloe and Louis Vuitton. For those who like the look but don't want to invest in a whole new wardrobe or outfit, Lanvin's sleek and sexy Happy Pop Clutch ($1290) is the way to go.

Reminiscent of the chic '70s, Lanvin's rust orange clutch is simply adorned with quilted detailing adding an air of understated elegance. With a detachable metal and leather shoulder strap, the Happy Pop Clutch works double duty as a ladylike shoulder bag. The interior is lined with jacquard fabric and features a zippered and organizational pocket. Dimensions: 5" x 9.5" x 2" with a 18" shoulder strap drop.

Red Valentino Bow Flap Convertible Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Red Valentino Bow Flap Convertible Clutch is a shockingly affordable and chic offering from the House of Valentino.

Before you get all up in arms over the fact that this is clearly pink, not red, allow us to inform you that RED actually stands for "Romantic Eccentric Dress," and is a sister line to the traditional Valentino. Red Valentino is a collection with "all of Valentino's sophistication -- but injected with a more contemporary feel," says Net-a-Porter. We think "contemporary" must mean "cheaper." But we're not complaining.

And it also comes in gray.

This adorable 11"W X 7½"H X ¼"D convertible clutch has a magnetic snap closure and a 22" tuckaway shoulder chain. We love it because it's fresh, charming, and has a big ol' unapologetic 1980's bow on it. This bag says "I'm kicky and fun, but with high style." It's the perfect touch of feminity for a no-frills shift dress or other outfit. Match your lipstick to it. We dare you.

The Red Valentino Bow Flap Convertible Clutch is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $395.00.
