Temperley London Faberge Lattice Clutch Handbag

Temperly London has taken inspiration from the old-fashioned art of fabergé eggs and gone somewhere modern and glamorous. This Fabergé Evening Lattice Clutch features a gold-tone metal lattice with fuchsia silk-satin underneath and an enormous (almost as big as the bag itself) white tassel embellishment hanging off one side. It opens on a hinge of course, and has a press clasp fastening at the top and a black velvet lining on the inside. This is one of my favorite little clutches to date, although I wish it came in a silver version. $1,550

It's cloudy as I write this and I can't help but imagine how nice it would be to have this bright pop of vibrant pink to lighten things up.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Helen Crocheted Shopper Handbag

I, for one, don't think there's enough crochet in the world of fashion. It's a bit of a lost art. Dolce & Gabbana must think so too because they've come up with this pretty Miss Helen Crocheted Shopper as part of their Spring 2010 collection. It features pretty crochet over lambskin leather and has two pairs of long leather tassels and a set of mixed-metal chains draped over the front for a nice contrast of old-fashioned and modern. A great way to incorporate a chunk of black into your spring ensemble. $1,895.

Balmain Night Pearl Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Black leather and chains gets and a little more friendly when blended with diamanté-embellished heart and flower charms (notice all the hearts are sitting sideways...?) and creates a sort of 'badass little girl biker' vibe. Other decorative accents on this Balmain Night Pearl Leather Clutch include the crossover leather strands and the zipper-finished edges. Although best used as a clutch it can also be converted to a shoulder bag by using the silvertone chain-link strap hidden in the satin-lined interior. Closes via a concealed magnetic fastening and has one interior pocket. $2,120

Prada Rete Metal Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Every once in awhile we find a beautiful bag that isn't made out of the usual materials of fine leather and exotic skins. This Prada creation, the Rete Metal Evening Bag doesn't just feature silvertone hardware -- it's made up of it entirely. This 'defined frame' bag has a chain mail body with no lining (so be warned: everyone will be able to see everything you put in it) and acrylic resin accents that look like enormous jewels perched on the kiss-lock closure and all along the chain shoulder strap. Simple but also amazing and striking. $2,100

Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo is a lovely, practical bag in an unusual, beautiful, chaotic pattern.

This printed leather bag has a flat silhouette (as the name implies), but your own belongings will give it shape. It has front and back pockets as well as three interior pockets, and the double handles are accented subtly with chain. We love that the chain is somewhat hidden; it gives the bag no bearing on whether one should wear it with gold or silver jewelry.

This bag is perfect for your all-day endeavors like work, visiting friends, and sightseeing. At 16"W X 13"H X 3"D, you could fit entire portfolios or all your touring accoutrements like cameras and document carriers. Its chaotic pattern and comfortable shape make it an easy contrast to whatever you were planning to wear, whether you're trekking museums in Vienna or shopping in St. Tropez.

The Donna Karan Crosstown Flat Hobo is available exclusively from Saks Fifth Avenue for $795.00.

Valentino Lacca, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Lacca is a classy bag for a dame of extraordinary style.

The traditional shape of this fabulous bag is turned on its head with a masterful gathering of the black patent leather creating an effect similar to expert-level napkin folding. We love the generous handles and the deep, roomy top-zip body, as well as the classic Valentino logo plate on the side, of course.

This 15"H x 19"W x 6 1/2"D bag is lined in satin and includes a zipper pocket for a little extra organization. This is one of the finest, most sophisticated bags large enough for work we've ever seen, carried off with a supremely feminine flair. It's one of those bags which announces itself with a stately, "I'm important" presence. We could see Audrey Hepburn carrying this just out of frame in one of her iconic black-and-white photos -- it's that glamorous.

The Valentino Lacca is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,195.00, and also comes in a pink so bright it will burn your eyeballs.

Valentino Summer Flower Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Valentino Summer Flower Tote is another femme-fatale, dynamite bag from Valentino's particularly womanly spring collection.

This very nearly lip-shaped tote is decked in supple nappa leather flowers in bright, bold colors which captivate and catch the eye. The unusual color combination is fresh and lovely, calling to mind images of a hot summer day, a glass of lemonade and some very red lipstick. The use of black increases the intrigue of the bag, giving it a gothic edge. One could see a celeb like Dita Von Teese carrying this to complement a lacy or chiffon ensemble.

The bag is especially large (21"W X 12"H X 8"D), and could even be used overnight. It features a magnetic snap closure and metal feet, a black polyester-satin lining and a 16" drop detachable shoulder strap. We'd hate to see a bag like this wasted on work, and hope we'll catch someone brave enough to take it down the red carpet.

The Valentino Summer Flower Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,690.
