Wanting.

I love so elegant a bag roughed up and large. This Hermes travel bag is impractical, but sexy enough so I don’t care. Women, take note in terms of style. And your own personality… Vintage Hermes Sac Mallette

Using.

I’ve been eying this Hermes travel bag for years, literally. I love that hidden-in-plain-sight jewelry box in the bottom… Hermes HAC

Hating.

This Hermes travel bag is a caricature of a Birkin. There’s no sprezzatura: it’s not playful enough to be cheeky, not careless enough to be cool, not formed right for even function…

Wanting.

Jalda makes boss bags, but better than that I met her at a charity dinner and she’s hot.

So’s this Jalda bag, which is way on sale: was $505, now $177… Jalda Black Lamb Fanny Pack

Wearing.

This Jalda belt bag is really equal parts bag and belt, and completely on sale: buy it for $77… Jalda Patent Selena Clutch

Hating.

The hardware’s too Fucci for me…

Wanting.

This vintage Whiting & Davis bag is called a gate-top bag, a beggar’s bag, or an accordion-cap bag. I became obsessed with these vintage Whiting & Davis bags when I saw one in college.

This fine mesh silver Whiting & Davis bag is collectible quality. If I ever find one like it, I’m buying… Vintage Whiting & Davis Silver Gate-Top Mesh Purse

Wearing.

This gate-top Whiting & Davis bag is circa 1930s-40s; the one above is probably Victorian. Either way, the accordion opening of these vintage Whiting & Davis bags never fail to amuse me… Vintage Whiting & Davis Gold Mesh Gate-Top Handbag

Hating.

That fringe styles this vintage Whiting & Davis bag old lady. I could see some aged beast in Vegas clutching this…

Wanting.

This broken mirror clutch by Celestina is wearable art.

Plus, you can check out your chest without anyone noticing… Mirror Clutch Envelop

Wearing.

This mirror envelop clutch by Ted Rossi is so simple, and so on sale… Broken Mirror Clutch by CC Skye

Hating.

A blatant, boring knock-off of the Celestina mirror clutch. CC Skye’s broken mirror clutch is half the price, and looks it… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/01/06/mirrored-clutches-k-is/feed 1 JJ Winters Clutches On Sale.

Wanting.

My fav part is that little band to slip your hand through, for a better (looking) grip.

Like everything at ActiveEndeavors.com, this JJ Winters clutch is 50% off with promocode WISHLIST50, until Friday’s midnight… JJ Winters Clutch

Using.

Simple, chic, and 50% off. Buy it and mail yourself love letters with it… JJ Winters Clutch

Hating.

The croc on this JJ Winters clutch isn’t faux — it’s fake. And boring.

Unlike Ivanka Trump’s rack.  That’s faux, and fascinating…

Wanting.

Tory Burch’s 2008 holiday collection was inspired by Truman Capote’s 1966 Black and White Ball, and the same sequined LBDs are fresh 42 years later with these evening booties… Tory Burch Holiday Collection 2008, French Resin Clutch

Wearing.

A black French resin clutch from Tory Burch. Something understated was witty during the last Gilded Age and its five-figure handbags (yeah, a whole month ago).

Now an evening clutch like this just makes sense… Tory Burch Holiday Collection 2008, Fox Fur Hat

Hating.

I’m only hating this Jackie K fox fur cap because I can’t wear it in LA’s 72.5° F without sweating. Time to move to Moscow…

Wanting.

A beautiful brick perfect for a night at the Disney Concert Hall — last time I was there I had nothing to throw at the conductor, as he wasted an evening better spent alone with myself, YouTube, and Beyonce…

Wearing.

In lightening pink snakeskin, this Choo clutch is a standalone bag — wear it with nothing else. And since I’m already naked, maybe we can describe it as a “lying – not – quite – alone – if – you’re – rich – enough” bag…

Hating.

Add a lollipop flecked with 24K gold, mink ribbons to tie your hair into pigtails, and mary janes covered in Swarovskis. Now you’re the prettiest princess for your 36th birthday. By the way, your husband’s banging a grown-up…

Wanting.

This bag’s the ideal chick: bold sans drama, hard not harsh, feminine but unfussy. It also only fits a condom, not any games. Your boy loves me…

Wearing.

I love that natural wood, set straight with geometric crystals. Classic Kroell, on sale. If I was okay with baby weight, I’d hand this down to a daughter…

Hating.

With its smattering of rhinestones, this clutch reminds me of when you made out with your best girlfriend in Vegas — a gorgeous mess…

Wanting.

It’s more than a Birkin, but a little less than a down payment on a flat. That crackly croc has got me…

Wearing.

I love being a human: I weigh 69 lbs. but I punch a computer key, and I’ve a dead anaconda in my clutches…

Hating.

The patchwork mink is a little fash victim/Beyonce to me, but given the choice, I’d take it. Like her ass…
