100K Diamond Alligator Clutch
This is a metallic silver alligator clutch with 18-carat white gold hardware encrusted with 1,500 black and white diamonds. Is it fab? Yes, only because just one is made every year. And sure, having a clutch full of diamonds has got to make a girl feel a little like Marilyn Monroe but what does that [...]

The Luxury of Valextra
The beauty of Valextra is in it’s simplicity of design and uncompromising Italian workmanship. Actually, it’s so simple that the splendor is lost on most consumers as it takes a very special woman to understand the subtle luxury of a Valextra bag.

Marni Patent Balloon Bag
Marni Balloon Bag $1,317, available in three sizes If the balloon bag from Marni does not bring out the frisky youthful side of you I don’t know what will. What a fun and fresh take on the hobo bag! I like the detachable long shoulder strap so you can adjust to your bag mood accordingly. [...]
Hogan Dune Bag
$950 at Neiman Marcus There was a day when I wouldn’t be caught dead in a designer’s secondary or “bridge” line, merely because they were usually designed as an after thought and poorly made. That said, there are some bridge lines created not merely to offer a cheaper version of the original but for a [...]
Lanvin Kentucky
Is it me or does Sara Michelle Geller look like a dwarf carrying this Lanvin Kentucky tote? If you’re only 62 inches tall, you should not carry a bag that’s a third of your height and dragging down to your ankles. This is a bag made for glamazons like Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz. Sara [...]
Size Matters

Baby bags so tiny that only monopoly money will fit inside are just as useless. Our Guest Editor, the Bag Wh*@# (Real life fashion editor of one of our [...]
Lizard, Ostrich Clutch by Kara Ross
This is one of the best bags I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It’s a totally brilliant design combining black lizard and ostrich with the stark simplicity of natural linen. There is amazing texture and interest, yet the whole thing is serene and clean and just gorgeous! Even the hardware is understated chic topped with [...]
Snob or Slob?
We have to give props to Gwen for daring to be seen in her L.A.M.B designs, including the hideous Rasta Bag. I mean have you ever seen Jessica carry her namesake line of bags or shoes? Gwen is a rock star in the truest sense so she gets away with things like pink corn rows, [...]
R & Y Augousti
White Karung clutch $380 Purple Ostrich leg wallet/clutch by R & Y Augousti, $204 at Barneys.com My friend Terry (who just had twins, congratulations Tei Tei! Love you!) has been obsessing over R & Y Augousti furnishings for years, when she saw their new line of clutches and wallets last summer, she totally flipped and [...]
