5 Must-Have Designer Clutches for Spring
The last couple days have been extremely nice out here in the Emerald City, which is tremendously rare but welcome anytime. With the weather change I have come to a realization that it is time to trade in the white and black evening bags for something more fun and vibrant. A few of my favorite pieces that best represent my spring must-haves are pictured above.

Kate Spade Pasadena Maria Clutch was featured in People Magazine’s “style watchâ€? this month as a must-have bright accessory for spring – I agree a must-have. The Pasadena Maria is named after one of Los Angeles’ neighboring cities (Pasadena) for its well known vibrant hues found in both its wild parrot population and the Huntington botanical gardens. The pretty-pink clutch is made from a soft and glassy patent calfskin, trimmed with natural vachetta cowhide, accented with light gold hardware, detailed with the new kate spade logo plate and a roomy interior (five card slots, id window, and a zipper change pocket). Measurements: 4″ height x 7.5″ width. Price of this girly-pink patent clutch will cost you $225. Discover it at KateSpade.com

Miu Miu Metallic Leather Clutch is one of the only Miu Miu items that you can find for under $200. - and it’s worth every penny. A fun and glittery evening bag dressed in a sparkly lavender color and topped off with the gold signature with a buckle adjustable thin wrist strap and a gold signature on the front. This shimmery favorite is just the right size for your evening-essentials. Measurements: 5� height x 8� width. Price of the Miu Miu Metallic is $170.

V.B.H. Glitter Envelope Clutch is a simple but classic looking evening purse which will never go out of style and can be used time and time again. So don’t worry, you don’t have to eBay this beauty off at the end of the season to make way for a new purse purchase The body of the V.B.H. Envelope clutch is covered in eye-catching gold glitter and accented with yellow thread stitching trim, gold hardware, three gold beads on front and is secured by a flap. The interior is lined with mustard suede and a gold numbered edition plaque on inside. Measurements: 5� height x 11.5� width. The price to get your hands on this V.B.H. Glitter Envelope Clutch will cost you $850. Learn more about this clutch at net-a-porter.com

Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch has already been seen in the arms of at least a dozen or so of our favorite celebrities – such as (off the top of my head) Victoria Beckham, Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Tara Reid and Paris Hilton. The Jimmy Choo Mave Clutch is designed with a zip top closure that flaps down and snaps shut with a secure magnet for extra security. Other features include the detachable wrist strap and an exterior easy access zip pocket. The bag is lined in tan suede with lilac trim and has an internal pocket. Measurements: 9.5″ height x 13″ length x 2″ width. Price of this gem will set you back $895 for the small and $1,250 for the large size. Discover it today at Saks.com

Emilio Pucci Clutch is a vintage-inspired radiant evening bag dressed in a silk satin fabric with a matte gold frame and topped off with an oversized clasp with the designer name embossed. So you’re thinking – where’s the psychedelic print? Emilio Pucci is well-known for their instantly recognizable vibrant eye-catching prints that just burst with style. Instead of dressing the bag with the pattern, Pucci decided to line the bag with the signature. This Pucci purse is big enough to hold just the essentials. Measurements: 4� height x 8� width. The price of this luscious purple silk clutch is $690. Spot it today at net-a-porter.
