Judith Leiber Ganesh Clutch: Snob, Slob, or Pray?

Judith Leiber has outdone herself with the fancy Ganesh clutch.  Though I don’t know whether I’m supposed to carry this thing or set it on an altar and pray to it daily. Granted, it is an intricate piece by an expert bedazzler (and no, I don’t think your 10 year old can do this at [...]

Herve Leger Crystal Clutch

This clutch reminds me a bit of the Prisme from Roger Vivier but not so much where I’d accuse it of being a total copy so let’s just say it’s ‘inspired’ by the geometric shape that Vivier is known for.  It’s a cute little thing but I’m a bit perplexed by the price of it.  I’ve [...]

Bottega Veneta Pourpre Intrecciato Shiny Calf Bag

I can’t get enough of Bottega Veneta bags lately. It’s the only classic brand that updates its collection each season with hip and edgy styles without compromising its core values.   I see Bottega as a good brand for bag snobs who aspire to Hermes but is not yet ready for the price points and the [...]

Cesare Paciotti Black Calf Leather Bag with Studded Handles

We are heading to Milan after NYFW (with toddlers and nanny in tow!) and are very excited about the Italian brands we’ll be previewing at shows and presentations. I’m pleasantly surprised by the effort many of them have put into bags lately (innovative design and reasonable pricing!). I’m so glad to see this Cesare Paciotti calf [...]

Frugal Snob: Halston Heritage Evening Frame sequined clutch

One of the trends we are seeing on the Fall 2010 runways is embellished bags.  Get on the look now with this bold little sparkler from Halston Heritage.  Blue sequins are less formal than black or silver and I’d love to see this with everything from a pair of dark jeans and white shirt to a formal gown.  It’s so versatile [...]

Dries Van Noten Metallic Python Clutch

I’ve been saving this one for St. Patrick’s Day, I saw this wristlet clutch a while ago and have had ants in my pants waiting to feature it. Sure green is fun for St. Patrick’s Day but who would actually spend good money just on that? No, this clutch is for keeps and will keep [...]

Christian Louboutin Talita Clutch

Let me just start off by saying the photo doesn’t do this bag justice. It’s stunning in person! In fact, I happened to be shopping at Hirshleifer’s in Manhasset, NY when this clutch caught my eye. I immediately thought back to the Louboutin Mary-Jane’s Christian designed for a past Rodarte show that featured humungous spikes [...]

Judith Leiber Birdcage Fine-Crystal Bag

It’s no secret I am not a huge fan of (expensive) kitschy bedazzled bags but this one is just magical to me!  Talk about the ultimate fantasy piece, it looks like something from Alexander Palace and is so breathtakingly beautiful I can’t stop looking at it.  My grandmother loves birds so we always had them around [...]

Valentino Summer Flower Tote

Woah!! This is beyond regular ugly, it is extra special hideous. Pretty much the worst money ever spent, $2690 for Rose Parade trash. There is no redemption in any way, I mean, how can you go so wrong with flowers, which are inherently beautiful? I can think of a thousand ways to make a bag look [...]
