Many of Tarina Tarantino's handbags look like they were designed to be carried by children. Featuring Barbie, Hello Kitty and lots of quirky touches, the bags are playful and unique. This metallic clutch may be a little more grown up, but it still offers that little something different. A limited edition, the gold and silver leather clutch sports a very large Swarovski crystal embellishment right in the center of a big silver bow that doubles as a hand strap. Or you can carry the bag from a crystal-studded lucite bangle attached to a 10.75" long gold-tone chain. Now, that is different. The bag measures 5.75" wide, 4.25" tall, and 1.75" deep and is also available in a neon pink and white version.
$465.
