Alaia Laser-Cut Leather Wristlet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Alaia laser cut wristlet
I have a soft spot for wristlets (they're so small and convenient) and am especially feeling this Laser-Cut Leather Wristlet by Alaïa. Cut out detailing always adds a sense a contemporary, edgy feminity and when paired with the black leather and detachable mirror it really is the perfect accessory for a fashion-forward girly girl. It has a single adjustable leather top handle, matte gunmetal hardware, adjustable drawstrings on the top front and back, a detachable vanity mirror with designer-stamped back, and nude leather interior lining (with no pockets). $1,385

Valentino Embroidered Pouchette, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Valentino Embroidered Pouchette
I did another Valentino bag not that long ago but when I saw this Embroidered Pouchette I just couldn't pass it up. Blocks of dusty pink and black leather divide the bag into sections while beadwork that's both delicate and chunky and sewn together in lace-like patterns on the top flap contrasts sharply with gold hardware pyramid studs and multi-colored beadwork on the bottom. The wristlet strap is also studded and acts as a bracelet while being worn. Overall a bag that's mesmerizing and beautiful, and is sure to leave people speechless. $1,695

Sang A Snakeskin Zip-Up Wristlet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Snakeskin Wristlet

Perfect for the woman who likes to carry unique accessories that aren't too terribly crazy this Snakeskin Zip-Up Wristlet by Sang A is an interesting blend of exotic and whimsical. Its a bag that's both trendy and timeless with its python skin exterior and swirled up yo-yo-like design, and it features a prominent gold zipper as the only adornment on its classic black exterior. With a 7" diameter it's larger than the average swirl-pastry which it evokes, and to wrap things up it features a black twill lining. $950

Christian Louboutin Capra Bikini Leather Wristlet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Capra Bikini Leather WristletThe Christian Louboutin Capra Bikini Leather Wristlet makes me uncomfortable.

Should I mention that this handbag of the day is 9"W X 4½"H X 2"D, also comes in black, and is lined with Louboutin's signature blood-red (redder than this) lining? Should I praise the sparkle of the front metal logo and the cute 4½" wristlet chain? Should I make a comment about the pretty red shade of this Italian leather, or find some way to extoll the virtues of the credit card slot?

Should I giggle quietly at the term "bikini inspired" and leave it at that?

Or, should I mention that this bag looks exactly, exactly like an impressive cameltoe? Am I not supposed to talk about the outrageous crotchliness of this purse? It's like a 400 pound gorilla in the room.

I just don't know.

The Christian Louboutin Capra Bikini Leather Wristlet is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $795.00.

Inge Christopher Beaded Wallpaper Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Relatively affordable and beautifully retro, this beaded clutch looks like something my mother might have tucked away in a drawer somewhere. The classic frame clutch is covered in peacock blue satin and adorned with delicate beading in a vintage wallpaper pattern. A hidden wrist chain makes the bag comfortable to carry and the push-lock closure opens to reveal a dark satin lining and a gusseted pocket. Also available in a deep eggplant. $120.

Bea Valdes Chinese Blossom Wristlet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This beautiful Chinese Blossom Wristlet by Filipino handbag designer Bea Valdes is truly a work of art. Her bags are beaded by hand, which means no two are exactly alike. This beaded and crystal evening bag features subtle greens with hints of white, pink and gold. The overall effect is understated and elegant. With a soft satin handle, the bag is just 3.5" wide yet still packs a lot of style. It is available at Barney's for $2,200.

Angela Adams Wilma Wristlet, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

We've seen some rugs from Angela Adams before, but here is a peek at something else that she does well: handbags. And to be more precise in this case, this is her Wilma Wristlet and not a full-sized purse. It measures 8.5" x 4.5" x 1.25" and has an adjustable 50" shoulder strap if you prefer to carry it that way, but the wrist wrap is very convenient and the bad is small enough to easily fit into your hand. The leather wristlet has a zip closures, inner zip pocket and comes with a matching makeup mirror so you'll be able to do touch-ups with ease when necessary. It is available in four colors: chocolate, lavender, grass and navy (pictured). Price: $100.
