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 started harassing me about doing a story on them. The husband and wife team met at a London design firm after graduating from design school and have worked and lived together for almost 20 years. (Ria is Filipina like Terry and Yiouri is Greek, click here to read interview with them) Their line of furniture and home accessories have graced the rooms of the fashionable set since it launched in 1990 and now they plan to decorate the arms of their clients as well. I love the line of exotic clutches and wallets made mostly of python and ostrich, the pieces are classics with contemporary sensibilities. Price points are also very reasonable; most clutches are under $350 and are sold at Barneys New York. Call 469.221.4725 or drop by Barneys to see for yourself! While you're there, you should check out their home accessories too, I like the trays and picture frames, they're small chic pieces you can add to any decor.

thanks, paul

There was an article about their clutches in the March issue of Vogue. I thought they were gorgeous and couldn't believe the price.
yes, i too read about them recently on vogue. nice prices!
I can't believe the price! Especially considering that these beautiful elegant clutches and bags have ten times the style of most of the stuff marcy marc churns out... these are actually really gorgeous. I love both of the clutches and bags, can't even decide which I like more.
i read it on vogue last month...they are so inexpensive considering they are made of exotic skins...i'm definitely buying one. kudos to Ria, a fellow Filipina. Mabuhay!
I bought a great mint python clutch from them at Henri Bendel. Love this brand.
I am in love with the purple ostrich wallet. It looks like a clutch and big enough to use as one. How divine.
I think Yiouri is Cypriot.
Those bags in your article are the cutest things I have seen in ages!
I'm so thankful you are here to introduce us to these wonderful items- thank you so much.
Love the two bottom bags, but I would never buy because it is made out of the skin of a dead animal carcass, killed (sorry murdered) specifically so rich people can put lipstick inside of it. What is meant to go inside are bones and organs, of a living animal. I wish people could produce beautiful bags without having to slaughter innocent animals. Please help this by not buying these bags.

I love their wallets and bags. I purchased a green snakeskin wallet from Barneys about a year ago. I get so many comments about it. Great quality, sturdy and brillant design. I want the purple clutch next.
