clutch

The flowers, the cake, the bride, the groom, the dress, the family, the friends, the love.  In all the perfectly imperfect ways.  We do.

Fiery and bold, it's the number one must-have color for Fall.  Whether you're adding a pop of color to your low-key fit or wearing red from head-to-toe, anything goes this time around.  So go beyond your norm and get extra.  It's not just a suggestion this time around, it's a must.  Shop all RED bags here.

We are so obsessed with this new addition to our Fall collection!  The Athena Crossbody Canteen made of blush colored leather with scales lightly tipped in gold and a geo circle push clasp is hot on trend.   Pink in all sort of shades from dusty rose to fuchsia has appeared on the runway and in fashion magazines as the new trend color for Fall Winter 2016.   So if you've been looking for the perfect pink bag to freshen up your fall look, this is it.   Also available in Black, Grey, Ocean and Eggshell if you prefer the more classic colors.

Birds are chirping, blossoms blooming... SPRING is here and so is our Spring Summer 2016 Collection! We are so thrilled to introduce the new line of handbags made from luxurious materials such as woven watersnake, printed leather, Swarovski crystals, quilted snakeskin, and even wood - yes, wood! I love the new AURORA Minaudiere and Tall Box Clutch and the smooth, architectural qualities of the wood. They're a perfect look for the warm weather ahead, plus they are SO versatile - dress one up as an elegant clutch for a June wedding or dress it down as a chic crossbody bag for a stylish Sunday picnic or brunch with friends.

Looking for a practical gift for yourself or a fashionable friend? Our multi-purpose leather Pouch Clutch is as functional as it is stylish. Use it to keep keys, cards, cash, and other smaller essentials safe inside your day bag (like our lovely new woven watersnake Mia Tote Bag), then carry it on its own as a clutch for cocktails after work. This chic, multi-purpose pouch is also a lifesaver for organizing while traveling - use it to hold passports and important travel documents inside your carry-on, then dress it up during your trip as a stylish leather clutch for evenings out, saving room in your luggage for other vacation must-haves (and maybe even a few exotic souvenirs!). Pick from eleven fashion-forward colors and patterns.

How gorgeous is our new Galina snakeskin minaudiere? While it also comes in metallic pewter and gold, I especially love it in this midnight blue snakeskin. The perfect clutch bag to dress up for holiday parties and NYE, but versatile enough that it also looks stunning paired with jeans and a tee (and maybe some heels) for a stylish but casual night out. Whatever events the new year throws your way, from black tie formals to nights out with friends, this versatile, almost-neutral yet absolutely striking clutch makes a glamorous go-to bag that fits the essentials and pairs with (almost) anything you put on.

Beautiful weddings deserve beautiful accessories! Delighted to have carried our new Paulina Minaudiere to a friend's wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains this past weekend. Fall weddings are so lovely - from the colorful leaves to the romantic nip in the air. After all, a cool breeze is just another reason to get close to your date, right?

Happy 4th of July!!!! Wishing everyone a wonderful (and stylish) holiday!

Excited to see our new charity project mentioned in the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS blog this week!  We designed two midnight blue silk clutch bags studded with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystal stars specifically to benefit the amazing PUPPIES BEHIND BARS (PBB) organziation.

On their website PBB describes their mission:

"Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains prison inmates to raise service dogs for wounded war veterans and explosive detection canines for law enforcement. Puppies enter prison at the age of eight weeks and live with their inmate puppy-raisers for approximately 20 months. As the puppies mature into well-loved, well-behaved dogs, their raisers learn what it means to contribute to society rather than take from it. PBB programs bring the love and healing of dogs to hundreds of individuals every year. The dogs bring hope and pride to their raisers, and independence and security to those they serve."

Inge Christopher is donating 25% of the proceeds of the sale of each PBB handbag to this very worthwhile charity.  Help us support PBB and get a beautiful clutch handbag that will take you from holiday parties to weddings and everywhere in between. Choose between our stylish PBB Minaudiere and our chic PBB Foldover Clutch.

Twinkle, twinkle.

With temps soaring across the country it's difficult to stay cool and collected as the heat and humidity rise.  The key is keeping your look streamlined with a light, gorgeous dress and simple accessories.  Don't you think our CORSICA leather clutch in turquoise gives this outfit the perfect pop of color?
