Hayden Harnett Floripa Clutch

Named for the Brazilian island of Florianopolis (called Floripa by the locals), this dazzling colorblock clutch is modern and adds just the right touch of Tropicalia to any ensemble. Made of contrasting tan and black leathers, and trimmed in a complimenting patent leather, this geometric block print clutch feels a bit retro and a bit art-deco. At 16 inches long and 12 inches high.Perfect for sunny days and hot nights, the Floripa features a brilliant geometric print lining.. Ringing in at just $427, it’s a shame Hayden Harnett did not produce more colors for this style.

Reena Hammer with a Balenciaga brief

Even though Reen Hammer is not too famous nowadays, probably all of you know her boyfriend, Jonathan Rhys Meyer. He’s doing really well and he’s on a the hit series. His girlfriend, Reen, has a great taste when it comes to handbags as we see even though she doesn’t looks as well as she could. It’s true, she could put more into her look but a great purse will always add a glamourous touch to any outfit and she’s really luck with her handbags.The Balenciaga brief bag is one of the not-quite-as-common Balenciaga handbag styles. While the standard hardware looks great, I really love this bag with the giant hardware. Whether it’s silver or gold, my only rule is that it contrasts the bag allowing both the hardware and the purse itself to pop.Photo from BuzzFoto.com

Bottega Veneta Butterfly Knot

This elegant Bottega Veneta Butterfly Knot is an artistic, graceful purse with a huge presence. The simple butterfly design and knot clasp are done in aged brass, which is a perfect partner for the blush-toned leather. This solid clutch feels surprisingly luxurious to the touch, and its old world charm is just irresistible. The equally lovely Farfalle Knot features a slightly different knot clasp and a simple ivory hue. Bottega Veneta Butterfly Knot are available for $3600 at Bottega Veneta.

Victoria Beckham and yet another Hermes purse

Victoria Beckham and yet another Hermes purse

Victoria can not deny it, she loves the public eye.Yes, it’s Victoria and another Hermes purse. I, for one, am not complaining! It’s been reported that Victoria owns ten Hermes Birkins.As they shopped in Versace, Dolce & Gabanna and Yves Saint Laurent, Victoria stayed true to her Hermes addiction and carried a Hermes Kelly Longue in Gold Swift leather. Her Hermes handbag collection seems endless; just as we spot her carrying one Birkin she pops out with a style we have never seen her with. The Kelly Longue was derived from the Hermes Kelly a couple seasons back.

The bag is longer and thinner than the Kelly Pochette and more rare. Victoria’s Kelly Longue is made with Swift leather, but the Longue also is available in Box, Veau Doblis, Chevre Mysore, and Crocodile. Though, the exotic has only hit the runway and been seen on display, it is unsure if it will be sold. The price starts around $4,000.

Judith Lieber Blaze Dragee Handheld Satchel

Choosing the right designer handbag is as important as choosing shoes, jewellery, or any other accessory.

A designer handbag is very versatile and can change your look from sexy and sassy to cool and sophisticated. So let’s look at choosing one that’s right for you.Though Judith Lieber is responsible for some of the most stunning purses around, she’s also not exactly known for being Ms. Practicality. That all changes with her Blaze Dragee Handheld Satchel, which has handles (duh) and a roomy interior. Both elements make it much more useful than, say, a pig-shaped, jeweled clutch.The handles are encrusted with Austrian crystals. The blush color is understated and quite pretty. Available to pre-order for $2695 at Neiman Marcus.

Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote

Spring is around the corner and most peoples thoughts turn to wanting to look good wearing their summer clothes.So, made in Italy this Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote is certainly a step in that direction. Though I am an obsessive fan of almost all things Bottega, this tote doesn’t impress me at all. It’s bland with its attempt at “illusion,” which, in case you hadn’t guessed, involve the rounded woven insets - they’re supposed to look like falling coils. In other words, boring. Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote  vailable for $2600 at Neiman Marcus.
