Alexander Wang Studded Drawstring Pouch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Alexander Wang Studded Drawstring Pouch is a charming and unusual bag for the adventurous fashionista.

The rich, buttery red leather of this bag is artfully gathered with a snake chain drawstring finished with a red leather handle. The silvertone studs are prominent and bauble-like, giving this bag an exceptional amount of flash. The curious leather strips that comprise the top flap come down like fingers over the body of the bag.

Though this pouch is just 7"W X 6½"H X 2"D, it has a sturdy back and protective metal feet to help it keep its attractive, saddle bag-like shape. The pouch shape is the perfect complement for a tulip or bubble skirt.

The Alexander Wang Studded Drawstring Pouch is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $495.00.

Prada Velluto Jacquard Wristlet Pouch, Handbag of the Day

If you liked the Prada Velluto Jacquard Tote, you'll love the Prada Velluto Jacquard Wristlet Pouch (right).

This demure little pouch is just 6"W X 8"H X 5"D, and adds supreme elegance to any evening outfit by quietly screaming "I'm not trying too hard!"

Not that there's anything shabby about this bag, it simply lacks anything extraneous, from the simple drawstring wrist strap to the subtly stitched "PRADA" at the bottom left. What really makes it shine is the lush gold velvet contrasting the pale royal blue. Very grand -- and without a hint of vulgar over-adornment.

The only effort involved in this bag is the trouble you'll have matching it to just the right gown or cocktail dress. Sounds like a perfect excuse to buy a new one!

The Prada Velluto Jacquard Wristlet Pouch is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for just $450.00.
