The LV Monogram Groom Key & Change Holder is one of the few examples where the screen print actually compliments LV’s monogram print and color scheme. It doesn’t feel thrown together or choppy; it all flows well with one another. Remember when LV came out with their monogram print covered in while block lettering? Not a good look at all. I did of course, enjoy the LV Cherry Blossom Monogram print – it was daring yet in the end, it worked. The Monogram Groom Collection draws it’s inspiration from a 1921 advertisement, resulting in adorable and fun accessory. It features a zip pocket, is lined with yellow leather and could be used as a key holder or a bag charm. Dimensions: 4.5″ x 2.5″. Price: $210.

From Dior’s Fall 2007 collection, this bag is so unusual and sports so many interesting details it is hard to know where to look first. Let’s start with the obvious – the woven fuchsia leather. It’s a bold color choice and the elaborate pattern is not your standard basket weave. Moving up to the shoulder straps, your eye is drawn to the graceful serpents perched upon the tortoiseshell frame. As if that weren’t splashy enough, the leather shoulder straps themselves are twisted in an elaborate design and almost look like extensions of the serpents. Showcasing the Dior logo is a miniature Louis XVI picture frame hanging from a leather strap. Inside, you’ll find Dior jacquard lining, a logo tag and a 7 inch zip pocket. With metal feet to protect the base and a pretty snap clasp, this bag is sure to be a must-have for those who can afford the $3900 price tag.

I like the cool colors and simplicity of this bag. The gold tone studs give some movement to the classic shape and the double zippered closure keeps things safe and secure. Made of scratch resistant Italian pebble grain calf leather, the bag would do nicely for every day use. The rolled leather handles measure 20 inches and the bag itself is 14 x 9 x 5 inches. Lined in soft napa leather, it sells for $490.

Here’s a clutch that is different in several ways. First, it is purple. You might call it lavender, but the designer calls it purple. Second, it is a wrap clutch, which winds up to close with a flap that looks a bit like a crocodile tail. The bag looks a little odd when fully opened, but all snapped up, it looks rock-star worthy. The matte finish is not too shiny and at 10 inches wide and 5 inches deep, it’s just the right size. Barney’s has it for $2195.

This bag is from Brighton’s contemporary collection, but I think it looks pretty traditional. The color is raisin and the look is classic, with double shoulder straps and a top-snap closure. Lots of bags these days have multiple, heavy charms hanging from them, but this has just the one simple heart and key. Together with the silver-tone buckles, there is just the right amount of shine. The interior is lined in Brighton’s beautiful signature paisley print and features a zip pocket, a zip divider and a key ring. Does anyone actually use the key rings? $350.
