Oversized Clutches

So over tiny clutches that you can't even fit more than a credit card.  As if!  Everyone knows we girls need lots of shiznit when we go out!!  Haven't been this excited about a clutch in forevs.  Gorge, good price, dress it up, dress it down, hot color that goes with everything.  What else is there???

Halston Heritage Alice Clutch-$245

Angel Jackson Dakota Seric Fringe Tote

Color: White

 I have been LUSTING after the White Dakota Seric Fringe Tote since catching a glimpse of Angel Jackson's line sheet back in February.  Unfortunately, the white sold out in 5 seconds flat.  Oh well, I guess I'll settle for the Bamboo, or maybe the Black...wasting no time tho...word is, this bag has been snapped up by some Uber Hot Celebs.

Color: Bamboo

Available (exclusively in the US) at www.designersocial.com -$675

Celine Boston Bag

Phoebe Philo is beyond. Creator of the Paddington, arguably the most popular "it" bag of all time-she's doing it over at Celine...can she turn this super sophistocated line into a household name?

Drool Worthy: Katherine Kwei

Was dining the other night with a really hot girl and she was carrying KK's Donna Tie Dyed clutch.  I couldn't stop staring at it and I have to admit...I was bummin' that I didn't get it for myself a few months ago from designersocial.com.  Found the satchel though at asos.com (on sale) and I think it's smokin' hot.

PS1 in Smoke

Now, I have a thing for the color "elephant" lately-this PS1 is no exception...It's pretty much sold out everywhere, but Barney's online still has the medium sized one. They also still have a good selection of other colors as well. As an aside, Barney's online site is badly in need of some PR obvsi b/c they are never sold out of desirous things.

Tasseled...ummm Dancer Bag

Check out Marc Jacobs new tasseled bags...thoughts?

MJ Tasseled Clutch - $ 995

We Like Loewe

If you like high quality, classic bags that no one else has (except for blue bloods, royalty and Madge), Loewe may be for you.  (Especially since Bottega went all department store on us).

Based in Madrid since 1846, this luxury brand is low key and whispers european elegance.  (Headed by Mulberry former creative director Stuart Vevers).

Loewe Amazon Bag- $ 1710

Finally...Isabel Marant

Now that Isabel Marant has finally opened a boutique stateside, maybe we can get our hands on some of her wares...I am wheels off for anything and everything she whips up...especially this studded crossbody bag.  Greatness.

Isabel Marant Boutique: (469 Broome Street at Greene Street; 212-219-2284)

Howcome Sienna Gets Pink??

This Marc Jacobs Alina bag is wayyy cuter in pink, but unfortunately it is only available in black and a yucky taupe.  In the words of Snookie-Waaaa.

Marc Jacobs Alina Quilted Belt Tote- $ 1295

Novella Royale Mister Stud: "Raspberry" Sound

This Novella Royale bag is made from using recycled leather jackets...other than that, I just don't get why all the celebs love this bag?  Seriously, talk about taking studs too far.  Plus, the bag has NO interior pocket.  As if!

  Novella Royale Mister Stud Bag: $ 584

Jerome Dreyfuss-Par Excellence!

My new obsession: Jerome Dreyfuss.  Have you heard of him?  No?  Well you will...this french born designer has already won over the cool girls in Paris, not to mention SJP.  His handbags are the perfect mix of luxurious and hip-happening.  Get over to Soho pronto because he just opened his first stateside boutique.  

P.S. He just happens to be married to the beyond fab Isabel Marant...Sure would love to have them at my next dinner party...

Can't make it to Soho?  Shop Jerome Dreyfuss at Lagarconne.com

Rebecca Minkoff's Stud Devote...Still A Stud

Whitney Port- still rocking our fave bag (from fall 2009) last Tuesday in Manhattan.

The Fugliest Bag Ever Made...

Could it be...the most hideous purse ever made?  Shockingly, it's sold out...Monica carrying Chrisian Louboutin's "Talita".

Valentino Baby!

We'll admit it.  When Valentino first introduced the Petale bag, we thought it was really gimmicky and would be out in 5 minutes...then they updated with the studded petale...hmmm, pretty hot.

 

Well this is one of those rare cases that we were wrong :0

Valentino's "perennials" are growing on us (no pun intended) so much, that we all die for this new grey applique flower leather clutch.

Gorge George!!

Valentino Applique Flower Clutch at Netaporter.com $1795

Kinda Lovin' Carven

The simplicity of this camel suede satchel is genius.  Love the style, love the color, love the price.  (Reminds one of the PS1 but at almost half the price).  Also love that no one knows about this bag yet...Look out for some amazing creations from french fashion house Carven-now with former Givenchy designer Guillame Henry at the creative helm.  Strangely obsessed with this bag and don't even get us started on the cocktail dresses.

Get it at www.netaporter.com for $655.

MIU MIU Clutch-For the Birds!

This MIU MIU Bird suede and python clutch is the cutest clutch I've seen all season.  I needed this last night with my all black with a bit of bada-bing ensemble.  I love that you can wear it with practically anything-jeans and a tee or a cocktail dress...It's also big enough to fit more than your lipstick.

Get at Netaporter.com for $1495.00

Kate Moss Zebra Duffle Bag

So we know that Kate Moss makes anything look good...even this "ok" Longchamp Zebra Gloucester duffle bag (that she helped design).  Love her whole "this old thing" look...however it may have something to do with the $4434 Balmain denim jacket she's wearing...

Here she is again with the zebra duffle wearing all black...cute, but not bowled over.  

Get the Longchamp Gloucester in zebra for $1700 at longchamp.com

Mulberry Alexa Bag...simply...loving it.

Seriously, how cute is Alexa Chung?  Apparently really cute.  Mulberry designed an entire bag collection for her and it seems everyone is jumping on the Alexa "bagwagon".  I am sort of becoming super obsessed with the Oversized Leopard Satchel-but there are tons of fab colors and styles, including clutches and wallets.  

How cute is the pink leopard?

The amazingly stylish Agness Deyn with Alexa

Olivia Palermo-looking typically chic with her Alexa...(She carried Mulberry to a Burberry show-gotta love her).

Once again, if you like to carry more anonymous bags (read: longer shelf life), the Alexa might be your soulmate.
