Looking like a miniature suitcase, this Melamine East West Clutch by Stella McCartney is something different in the world of handbags. Comprised of melamine wood and gold hardware it might be hard and structured on the outside, but it's soft and feminine on the inside (thanks to a blue suede lining). Other accents include cute little feet on the bottom and a large gold plaque on the front that's embossed with Stella McCartney's logo.
I think it's awesome but per my usual I'm wishing it came in a silver version! $2,795

Credited for designing perhaps the mother of all It-bags, the Chloé Paddington, Philo started out as Stella McCartney's assistant at Chloé before McCartney left to design her own eponymous line. And like everything in fashion, Philo's appointment makes whatever happens at fashion week (which starts today in New York) feel like old news. She'll present her first collection for Celine in March 2009.
This is a gorgeous clutch, and right up my alley because not only do I love the gentle dove gray color but I also love that it manages to look very luxe and a little glitzy without featuring any jewels or over-the-top crystals.
The Chain Embroidered Clutch by Stella McCartney is a generously sized (looks bigger on the model than I would have expected) simple silk frame clutch with heavy chain embroidery decorating the sides, silver hardware (including a clasp on the top for closing), and a black satin lining. $1,395
Obviously I see a lot of handbags writing for Luxist and I can usually find something good about them all, but this is one I would truly love to own myself. I love to wear anything that comes in grassy shades of green, and this Ombré Chiffon Clutch by Stella McCartney does it just perfectly in my opinion. Blending from jewel-toned green to black, and looking ultra-feminine in delicately ruched chiffon, this clutch is an instant classic that's a lot more affordable than many other designer bags. Fastens with a zip closure and logo-embossed disc zipper charm along the top, and features satin trim. $395
As fun as it is to get dressed up for a party, if you have a lot of them on your calendar then the frills and lace might be getting old and hum drum. This metal clutch by Stella McCartney is the perfect way to add an edgy new vibe to your favorite cocktail dress, or even wear it with a cute pair of jeans to a summer bbq. Just beware, the brass metal might be neutral and go with everything but any colorful accessories you keep inside can change the whole look in a heartbeat! Brass metal with a white metal clasp closure, $895.
This Beaded Fold-Over Clutch bag by Stella McCartney has a simple and classic shape mixed with fun details like an intricate mosaic-like beaded design and a colorful beaded tassel hanging off one end. Made with glass beads and satinised brass hardware, this bag only comes in the one color scheme but can still go with almost anything. It's also very versatile as far as easily dressing up for an evening party or dressing down for a casual afternoon -- not sure how much daily wear and tear it can take though, without risk of losing some beads. $1495

Stella McCartney isn't just an icon's daughter and a famous fashion designer, she's also a canny real estate investor.

Fashion designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Adidas
to create the a³ Flyride, a new running shoe for women that uses the lightest heel-to-toe a3 cushioning system for
women. The a³ Flyride was designed exclusively for women to be lighter, softer and more flexible.It also has
breathability through the net mesh upper and sweat-absorbing and anti-odor treatments in the insole. The design
includes an asymmetrical lacing system and a muted feminine color scheme including the signature Stella McCartney color
of dusty rose. The a3 Flyride will be in stores in May and should sell for around 170 Euros ($205). You'd think for that
price is would have some sort of gadgety feature like the Adidas One.
