Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather-Print Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather-Print Clutch is a bright, feathery bag without all the fuss.

Carrying around a clutch that is essentially handful of feathers is certainly glamorous, but it's not always practical. You never want to put such a bag down anywhere, lest the feathers get smooshed, and heaven help you if it rains.

This bag creates a fun, flirty feather look -- but the genius of it is the coloring. Not only is it pretty, but feathers this color don't exist. If the silk were printed with an attempt at real-looking feathers, it would just look fake and half-hearted. Well done, Lauren Merkin, for making this soft silk print look intentional and classy.

This gathered, snap-flap, 6"H x 11 1/2"W clutch is perfect for a night out or a dinner party at a friend's place -- the teal is a perfect accent for a dark ensemble.

The Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather-Print Clutch is available from Neiman Marcus for $200.00.

Ale Feather Bracelet Pochette, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This Ale Feather Bracelete Pochette by Raven Kauffman runs on the idea that your handbag can be an accessory in more ways than one -- doing double duty as both bag and jewelry. It starts with an 18k gold plated bracelet (2 3/4" opening) and finishes with a dangling calf pochette decorated with hummingbird green emu and coque feathers as well as a few laser-etched leather feathers as well, for added texture and interest. It has a zip closure (hope it's easy to find under all those layers!) and measures 12" x 5" x 1 1/2". $2,195

Tamlin & The Fall Miniaudieres, Handbags of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Miniaudiere's have always been less handbag and more jewelry, a sort of half-ling of the accessory world. These creations by Tamlin & The Fall are no exception, practically taking the place of a beautiful bracelet or other adornment (quite literally in the case of the Shell design) when you carry them as a handbag.

All made to order and cast individually using over a pound of precious metal, shown above is the polished sterling silver version with other options including blackened (oxidized) sterling, matte (acid finished) sterling, or solid 18k polished gold. Linings come in matte black alligator or natural rattlesnake, tassels are hand-dyed feathers, and all miniaudieres come snuggled in a handmade wooden box lined in deerskin. Prices start at $19,800.

Minnie Feather Pumps

Want a stand out pair of pumps to give your fall wardrobe some extra kick? Pedro Garcia's Minnie Feather Pumps can do just that as they will surely catch eyes and start some conversations. They're either a love 'em or hate 'em sort of design, and I love them. The classic 4 1/2 " high heel pump gets upgraded with a soft, contemporary vibe by being covered from heel to toe in green-toned feathers and featuring a grosgrain ribbon bow on the toe with a faux pearl pin accent. $725

Cancan Feathered Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I don't think I could necessarily carry this Cancan Feathered Clutch (it reminds me too much of something a Vegas dancer should be wearing on her head) but that doesn't mean it's not fashionable and fun for someone else to buy. This bag is perfect for bringing a little spice to an otherwise simple outfit. Available in black with purple or red details, it features a large satin bow on the front that you can hardly make out beneath all the feathers sticking whimsically in every direction. $1,215

H. Stern Feather Bracelet

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Heavy, chunky, and bold, this bracelet from H. Stern's Feather Collection still manages to have an air of delicate femininity about it. The coordinating earrings are dainty and fluid, and I think the pair would make the perfect "little black dress" accessory set and would be sure to get admiring glances. Made of just over 123 grams of 24k brushed yellow gold (I would prefer it in silver myself), this little bit of arm candy can be yours for $21,000 (add the earrings for just $4,900 more).
