Black Shagreen Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Black Shagreen Clutch by Genevieve Jones is a little tame, a little understated, but a lot classy and a lot timeless (yes, I know that's not the best grammar). Designed during her travels to Thailand, stingray leather makes for the unique texture and the envelope styling is accentuated by the large whip-stitched leather medallion (with her unique logo design) that dangles off the point followed by a decorative leather tassel. The interior is surprisingly versatile divided into three separate compartments plus a small pocket. Lined in leather, $875.

Gold Vermeil Bug on a Cuff

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Sometimes I write about things because I love them, and sometimes because I hate them but they're just too crazy to pass up. This Shagreen Cuff with Gold Vermeil Bug falls somewhere in the middle. I love cuff bracelets, and usually I go for unusual pieces but this large insect is just a little too creepy -- look at the size of the fangs! Maybe it would work with a goth ensemble?

The cuff, however, is a beautifully textured gray shagreen, and the insect is 14k gold and decorated with rubies, sapphires, green agates, and crystals. $1,450

R & Y Augousti Shagreen Mini Audiere, Handbag of the Day

R & Y Augousti Shagreen Mini Audiere Handbag

I'm always a little torn when it comes to liking box-style clutches because although I like the way many of them look, carrying a hard-sided bag with sharp corners and rough surface textures doesn't feel very luxurious in my hands. This Shagreen Mini Audiere (in pink) by R & Y Augousti might be worth the compromise, though. It's a very structured rectangle adorned with red carnelian embellishments, lined on the inside with leather, and featuring a simple but attractive push-lock closure on the top. Certainly a solid investment if you're looking for an all-season evening clutch that will roll with the fashion trends year after year. $900

Celestina Shagreen Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Shagreen is one of those materials that photos just don't do justice. The sharkskin leather has to be seen in person to be appreciated for its unique feel and luster. This simple forest green shagreen clutch is padded and edged in bone. The bag is part of the Celestina line designed by Tina Maristela-Ocampo, a former fashion model who has been dubbed the Filipino Judith Leiber for her tiny, expensive and beautiful clutches using shagreen, mother of pearl, brass, shell and other expensive materials. This bag sells for $1.430.
