I keep finding myself drawn into Valentino bags. The continuous use of whimsical bows and feminine touches is so appealing. However, Valentino is not immune to having an off bag and this bag may be an example. Animal print bags really put me on the fence typically. I do not own an animal print bag, I seem to always find something I do not like about each of the ones I see.

The Valentino Leopard Print Goat Hair Bag brings together a leather bow detail at the front of the bag with a leopard-print goat hair body. Leopard print is a popular animal print that when put on a handbag usually skates a fine line between fabulous and trashy. (more…)

Brian Atwood Daphne Printed Clutch

I have a new obsession with leopard print. At times I have strayed away from this print, but lately I have been embracing it. But it is not that I want this print on my pleather pants, rather I want it on my accessories. I have been drooling over a pair of leopard print Louboutin’s and now I am on the hunt for the perfect leopard print clutch. No need to put this print on a huge bag, but a small bag with a fierce print will do all the talking. It is a pop of perfect attitude! The framed Brian Atwood Daphne Printed Clutch intertwines shape with a subdued leopard print. The print itself appears toned down and is spiced up with goldtone hardware. There is an interior pocket, suede lining, and a clasp closure. Measurements are 12″W X 6″H X 2″D, which makes this a great handheld statement piece. This is not precisely what I have my heart set on, but it is alluring. Buy through Saks for $1660.
