That's A Fabulous Handbag

The biggest trend for the upcoming fall and winter 2009/2010 is rocker chic, which means studded black leather is everywhere. Roberto Cavalli's studded handbag reflects this trend, but in a subtle way so that it's style will outlive the season. It's black suede with square shaped studs and a Bali style chain strap. I think the strap is really what makes this bag special, it almost looks like a piece of jewelry. $1,115.

This Roberto Cavalli Serpent bracelet clutch is the perfect cocktail party or evening handbag. It is a jungle green satin foldover clutch with a detachable serpent bracelet. The bracelet attachment is fabulous and makes this clutch unique. Available at Net a Porter, $910

A quick note about formal wear handbags and cocktail party bags - they must be small! Please don't make the mistake of carrying a tote or any mid to large handbag to these events, it will ruin your outfit. I know, I hate to spend a lot of money on a bag I will only wear a few times a year, but it's an investment every fashion conscious woman should make. Time and again I see a beautiful dress, shoes, hair etc. ruined with the wrong bag. It should either be a hand held, wristlet or short arm strap.

This Roberto Cavalli Swarovski embellished clutch is extremely detailed and truly a work of art. It is intricately woven with wooden beads and swarovski crystals for a somewhat tribal, but very beautiful, look. This clutch has a coiled serpent on front and a leopard print lining to further emphasize the 'wild' in this handbag. It has a wrist strap if you need to be hands free and it's a rather large clutch, with plenty of room to hold all of your essentials. It's on sale at Net a Porter, $1,755.

Add something fabulous and colorful into your wardrobe with Cavalli's sparkling metallic clutch. There are so many great things about this purse. First, the fabulous color. The pink suede is covered in tiny metallic dots, so it's not only bright, but glittery as well. Then there is the gold hardware in the shape of the tempting serpent. Oh, and this purse is sooo tempting. And then there is the wonderful size of this clutch, not too big, nor too small. The size is perfect for the evening, but can easily carry all of your essentials. This handbag is not only fabulous for fall, but it is an ideal transitional piece too. Lastly, I love the price. While it's not cheap, it's a manageable $750. Available at  Net a porter.

This is the second Roberto Cavalli Paillette bracelet clutch I have covered, but it's a gorgeous little bag and this version deserves recognition. This one in a flower print is perfect for an evening out. The bracelet is a bonus, and is a very pretty way to wear this handbag. As opposed to a regular clutch, the bracelet allows a free hand, which I love. I must have my hands free. The pretty gold label hardware and the gold silk lining complete this fabulous handbag. Available at Net a Porter, $1,940.

I love this gorgeous gold evening bag. It's the Roberto Cavalli Metallic bracelet bag. Sparkly and golden, this handbag is sure to make you feel like a rockstar as you make your entrance. The bracelet is detachable, so you can mix it in with a stack for a subtle, but stylish, match with the bag.  A definite 2-for-1 deal here because that cuff will run you a good $400 by itself. Personally, I would wear the bag with the outfit pictured.

 I think the metallic mesh gives it a kind of modern-disco look.

The Roberto Cavalli bag has a gold metallic leather frame with bracelet handle. It has a clasp fastening on top and gold tonal leopard print lining. Available at Net a Porter, $1,165.
