It may be the epitome of dainty, but fortunately this Salvatore Ferragamo Miss Vara Clutch isn’t too twee. A sweet little grosgrain bow is what ups its charm and glamour, but the lustrous champagne hue, the slinky chain strap, and the minimal shape all keep it quite understated and wearable. It’s appropriate for everything from an afternoon lunch to an evening dinner date. Available to pre-order for $495 at Nordstrom.

… die. The stunning hue alone is enough reason to grab this variation of the always-luxe Jason Wu Miss Wu Silk-Satin Clutch. In fresh turquoise, it makes a bold complement to a beige sweater dress (try it!) or a relaxed boyfriend blazer, jeans and boots (again, try it). Often it’s the unexpected pop of color that really completes the entire outfit. Find it for $680 at Net-a-Porter.

The Dolce & Gabbana Satin Fringe Miss Dea Clutch is straight out of the 20′s and I am loving it. The layers upon layers of fringe (and we all know how I feel about fringe) with the fine gold chain makes this a classic flapper-esq piece. The gold and crystal encrusted clasp gives it an even more glam feel that ups the fancy factor. Now this certainly isn’t a purse to grab on any old Saturday night to head over to your friends …

… all dolled up for a lovely night out. It’s all about the hair, makeup, dress, shoes and the clutch. To me, the clutch always finishes the outfit. Anything we carry always catches people’s attention and that’s why it always has to look stunning. When it comes to clutches no one else does it better than Alexander McQueen. His skull clutches are the definition of a beautiful, breathtaking and unique accessory but they also carry a hefty price tag. However, other designers design …

We never miss an excuse to rave about the Red Grace clutch, we even included the clutch in our Mad Men inspired post! For only $58 on Handbago, all you need to do is slip your hand between the bow and the purse and you are ready for some serious sun!

… the beautiful cobalt blue suede or the eye-catching fringe finish. The Embellished Fringed Suede Clutch has a lot going on but not enough to push it over the edge. There are coral, black, and silver beads, tiny white shells, and a silvery grey fringe wrapped around the front of this foldover clutch. If you had put all of these materials on a table I would be hard pressed to have imagined such a unique end result. You can order this chic clutch at NET-A-PORTER for $975.

… let it be said that you can’t find a glamorous bag without spending a fortune. This Tasha Woven Clutch is another from the brand that specializes in gorgeous evening bags at low prices. Crafted of glossy satin in your choice of black, red, gold, or silver, it’s topped with a jeweled clasp closure and includes a sinewy chain that can be tucked inside if you prefer to keep this in your grasp. Available for $68 at Nordstrom.

… out there. What else could be the explanation for the existence of the Anndra Neen Oval Open Cage Clutch? Granted, it’s kind of cool in a subversive way, but something that so boldly eschews traditional bag construction in favor of an utterly nonsensical design better have good reason for costing this much. Turns out that reason is because it’s handmade in Mexico with alpaca silver and brass balls. Just be sure not to stick anything too humiliating (or, you know, a pen) in there. …

… to turn heads, but Elizabeth really grabbed our attention when we caught her toting a Jill Milan clutch in New York during the filming of an episode of Gossip Girl. Jill Milan is one of our favorite 100% vegan handbag designers at Handbago.com and is also the designer of the clutch that was recently voted “Most Wanted” by W Magazine for April 2012. And next month, you can catch Miss Elizabeth showing off some faux-patent love by sporting the ultra sophisticated “Pacific Heights …
