Chloe Heloise Oversized Shoulder Bag

Chloe Heloise Oversized Shoulder Bag
Easily large enough to accommodate a laptop or an after-work outfit, the Chloe Heloise Oversized Shoulder Bag delivers. Tan leather paired with gold hardware and braided straps, it isn’t too pretentious but still gives that designer look. Originally $1,670 it is currently 30% off at Net-A-Porter for $1,169 which is a pretty good deal. To me, this bag isn’t boxed into a season with its neutral coloring and understated detail so love it and tote it all year round.

Michael Kors Beverly Gator Watch Clutch

Michael Kors Beverly Gator Watch Clutch
This bright bag from Michael Kors definitely scores some points for originality. A simple alligator-embossed leather clutch in a fresh lime green is dressed up with a masculine, gold-tone…watchband? I guess it is better than skulls and bracelet charms, but where is this taking us? If leftover watch parts can find a home on high-end handbags, can cuff links and tie tacks be far behind? It is a lovely bag that probably would have been best left unadorned. $3,000.

R & Y Augousti Shagreen Minaudiere
My taste in handbags is a bit too traditional for this style, but those who lean modern will appreciate this unusual clutch. Lined in velvet, this bronze minaudiere is faced with red shagreen with an ostrich leg center inlay. The funky angles are continued in the tabs of the magnetic closure and the the overall look is warm and contemporary. Think of it as a conversation piece for your wardrobe. It measures 8¼” x 3½” and sells for $295.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Shearling Bags

Louis Vuitton Monogram Shearling Bags
Louis Vuitton bags, although always bearing a similar streak, have once again been reinvented with a shearling look. The Shearling ‘Storm’ and Shearling ‘Thunder’ run for $3,850 and $3,450 respectively, their main difference being their shape. Personally, I like the shearling look — its cozy feel and glamor-winter style suits me just fine. Already seen with R&B star Ciara and VJ LaLa from MTV, I’m sure these bags will be a hit with the Hollywood types.

Malan Breton's Limited Edition Black Diamonds Clutch
He may have been kicked-off Project Runway but Malan Breton’s fashion instinct didn’t take any hits with this fabulous evening bag. Covered in Australian black crystals with a simple snap closure this limited edition bag would add bling to any night out. No need for a flashy dress or boulder-sized earrings, the clutch alone would make you feel pretty. For $950 it would stand as a timeless classic and being a limited edition, you’ll be relieved to not see its clone at a similar function.

Roberto Cavalli Sahara Print Clutch

Roberto Cavalli Sahara Print Clutch
Obviously the animal print trend is alive and well in the handbag world. I, for one, hope it stays that way. Designers keep finding new and interesting ways to employ these exotic patterns and I never tire of them. This one takes the jungle print uptown with gold accents and the result is stunning. The metallic gold leather trim highlights the pretty curves of the flap and the detachable chain strap adds even more elegance to the shimmery satin bag. I am, however, just about over the charm trend. This one sports five, hanging from a gold ring on the side of bag. Measuring 11″W x 6″H x 2½D, the bag sells for $1390.

Chloe Bay Patent Hobo

Chloe Bay Patent Hobo
I am usually not a big fan of purple, but this dark violet shade is kind of nice. The grained lambskin just glows and you know it is going to feel as nice as it looks.

Inside, the bag is lined in canvas and features a zip pocket. Measuring 12″W x 13″H x 4″ D, it is currently available for pre-order for $1,760.
