The Katherine Kwei Donna Clutch is as recognizable and stand-out as they come. The knotting technique Kwei uses for her designs is not seen with any other designer, which is clearly her individuality factor. And because of this, it is hard to miss one of her designs.

Recently, Fergie was seen pairing her colorful fuchsia Katherine Kwei Donna Clutch with her black on black outfit. There are so many reasons why this work, including the fact that her somber outfit desperately needs a pop of color. The Donna Clutch has been seen in a variety of materials, including watersnake, but I think I have found my favorite rendition. I am clearly drawn to hot pink (like my Botkier Venice Hobo). Not everyone wants such a bright splash of color on a larger bag, so it is perfect to opt for a clutch. Buy via Saks for $645.

If you’re a fan of the Hermes Birkin (or simply not a fan of Lady Gaga), gird your loins for this one.

When her Monster Ball tour landed recently in Tokyo, La Gagita was seen in the airport carrying a white Hermes Birkin inscribed with a message that loosely translates to “I love small monster. Toyko love.”

In case you’re not familiar with the Gaga vernacular, “little monsters” is the name that she uses to refer to her fans, so her Birkin message was a shout-out to those that would be attending her Japanese shows. Using accessories and the paparazzi to communicate – clever, or not so much?

Regular readers of the blog will know that I’m a huge Lady Gaga fangirl, so I think it’s fairly clever. It’s not the most interesting thing she’s ever done, but playing with fashion and blurring the lines of social acceptability are two things that are integral to her public image, and not only does a Sharpie’d Birkin combine those things effectively, but it has managed set tongues wagging all over the internet.

UPDATE: As commenter Allen pointed out, it looks as though Gaga has now had her Japanese fans sign the back of the same Birkin, according the the pictures that she posted on Twitter today.

        

Every celebrity, athlete, and sports fan has taken over South Florida for the New Orleans Saints taking on the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.

Kim Kardashian has already shown us her love of Adriana Castro bags, when she carried her Modish Clutch. Last night Kim got dolled up and headed to Prime 112 to dine while debuting an Adriana Castro bag that had not been seen before, the Nina Clutch. The clutch is an oversized envelope style that worked perfectly with Kim’s bright bold printed dress. Not only are we loving this clutch, we are loving Kim’s entire look. Because this is the first we see of the Adriana Castro Nina Clutch and we love Kim Kardashian’s look so much, this is our weekend obsession!

While we do have PurseBlog Savvy for contemporary affordable designers and Bag that Style for celebrity style, sometimes we still integrate the two into PurseBlog. Today’s post is no exception and even better covers both categories, celeb style and a savvy designer. We are talking about the countrified pop queen of the world right now, Taylor Swift, and the brand Hobo International. Taylor Swift’s new go-to handbag brand is Hobo International, a company who continues to produce chic designs at affordable prices.

What bag has Taylor stuck with? The Hobo International Trinity in luscious aubergine Sonoma leather. Let’s dissect this bag, shall we?

Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards was filled with gorgeous ensembles and an unfortunate LA downpour. Without a tent in place, attendees walked the red carpet with umbrellas overhead. While we loved watching to see who won, we of course were enthralled with red carpet arrivals. Our sister website, BagThatStyle, has the low down on what many of the celebs were wearing to the 2010 Golden Globe Awards.

Kate Hudson is in the spotlight again. This time it is not for being in another RomCom (romatic comedy), but because of the man she is reportedly dating, Alex Rodriguez. We have a full review of her look on Bag that Style, but I can not get her clutch off my mind.

Problem is I have a clutch on my mind that I can not identify. So for a pre-thanksgiving present to me, who can help Name that Bag!

One of the most coveted Bottega Veneta handbags is the Cabat. Hop over to the Bottega Veneta forum on the Purse Forum and you will find thread after thread of avid Cabat collectors. What is all the hype about?

The bag is relatively simple, an oversized tote with a woven body and double handles. But the love for this handbag runs deep. No one can seem to get enough. There are limited edition Cabats, like the Reflet Cabat we covered, along with classic Cabats that are released in seasonal colors.
