Judith Leiber New Bean Python Clutch

I have a vintage Judith Leiber clutch that I adore– it’s made of supple python skin, with soft pleating that gives it a soft feminine shape, all topped off with a single sparkly crystal clasp. It’s one of my favorite clutches and I’ve always wished Leiber would start making elegant clutches like it again instead of the blinged out crystal eggs/dogs/cats/bats/pigs that are so popular. Apparently my prayers have been answered as the “New Bean” clutches in luscious python are gracing the shelves at Neiman Marcus once again! This color is so perfect for summer– as blue as the Mediterranean sea. A crisp little white dress with strappy sandals and you’re ready for Capri (I’m dying to go, by the way!).Judith Leiber New Bean Python Clutch for $2,195

Totally cool and chic from a new brand started by two best friends. Hmmm, Tina and I are best friends and we love bags….. I love new brands with something new to add to the saturated bag scene. This has a carefree look that’s also very sophisticated for the perfect effortless style that we all want to exude. It has a bit of Alexander Wang cool with a dash of Alaia refinement. The best part though is the price, get it while they are still new to the market because prices go up once they are “discovered”, you know by Bag Snob =) At Saks Fifth Avenue for $495.
