Clutch purses run the risk sometimes of not being seen when you tuck them under your arm - but you will definitely want to show off the NOAH Love Birds Clutch. The pattern is laser-cut into the fabric and sooo intricate. Definitely a clutch to show off. It measures 7 1/2″ high, 15 1/2″ wide.

I like this Latico Artisan Belting Medium Round Shoulder Bag for early Spring. It still has a bit of substance to it so it doesn’t look like you are jumping the season, but still has a pretty delicate-ness that’s right for those months that you still need a jacket. Kind of like a tooled handbag, but without the heaviness.

The measurements are:

To end luxury handbag week (well, luxury handbags aren’t limited to one week here, but anyways…), check out this artistic metalwork and crystal Whiting + Davis Bella Handbag. This purse is like carrying around a Renoir painting, with your credit cards and lipstick inside.

Find it at Nordstrom.comfor $168.

Do you remember Angelina Jolie’s ombre print vintage Hermes dress that she wore to the Screen Actor’s Guild award? There is a lot of formalwear that has that combination of colors, either in print or in beading. A great purse to add would be a Rafé New York ‘Sasha - Mini Sequin’ Clutch . It adds warmth to tonally similar colors in clothes.

Find it at Nordstrom.com.

Looking for a modern twist on a Victorian look? Check out the Inge Christopher Snake-Frame Beaded Evening Bag at Nordstrom. It’s hand beaded with glass beads and comes in white, black, and pewter.

Dimensions: 6″W x 7″H x 1″D.

I love how this bag has an opulent luxury to it without being too 1980’s. The real difference that makes it modern is the soft shape it takes.

Find the Susan Farber Collections ‘Mezzo - Sofia’ Clutch at Nordstrom.com for $285.

All this week we’ll be featuring fabulous luxury purses - and we’re starting with this adorable little Timmy Woods ‘Eiffel Tower’ Limited Edition Clutch. Signed by the designer, this mini clutch won’t hold much more than a credit card and a lipstick (although it does have in interior cell phone pocket, but hey - when a purse is a work of art like this, do you really need to carry the black hole that is all the stuff that goes into your regular bag?

Find it at Nordtsrom for $450. And be prepared to be the envy of every woman in the room.

I saw Strawberry colored Tote at GAP.com and immediately thought of a million uses for it - adorable and only $19.99.! It measures 12″x 17 1/2″ (27 1/2″ with handle) x 9″.

I love the slightly quirky style of this Dautore 2512 Hobo bag. Check out the tangerine color as well.

Find it at Endless.com for $395.
