Over here at KB, us ladies can never have enough handbags. And that’s a fact. But when it comes to adding to our collection, we have pretty discerning taste. However, this Giselle Clutch by Jill Stuart definitely makes the cut.

New Yorker Jill Stuart has designed a lot of bags since launching her collection in 1993, so she knows what she’s doing. It’s no wonder then that this clutch mixes modern functionality with vintage whimsey and tough-girl black leather.

The chain fringe and buttery-soft leather are definitely very sexy, while the pendant-style tab and the zipper pocket at the back lend some tougher elements to an otherwise feminine clutch. What I really love about this clutch though is the metal rod hidden at the top of the clutch to act as a sturdy handle. I have carried, sorry, clutched, many a clutch in my time, and yet the thing I find most annoying about clutches, is that bigger ones are often very difficult to carry, unless you plan to have it under your arm all night. But Jill Stuart has fixed that problem with this saavy little handle, allowing you to show off the rest of the bag as you hold it as well.

The Jill Stuart Giselle Clutch regularly rings in at $395, however, you can cop yourself a bag over at Shopbop.com for just $276.50. Definitely, too hot not to cop!

My fave bag of the moment, whether i’m going casual or dressing up, has got to be the clutch. I love love LOVE the clutch. It’s the perfect accessory because a simple black leather clutch won’t distract from an already-busy or attention-grabbing outfit, and yet, the right clutch can add the perfect amount of intrigue to an otherwise dull jeans and T-shirt. So, after scouring the web for the perfect black leather clutch, dear readers, I think that I’ve found the perfect one in Kooba’s Mandy Clutch.

Kooba is a favorite amongst Hollywood “it” girls as their fine leather goods are not too, too expensive and yet they never skimp on craftsmanship or originality. This particular bag is made of buttery-soft leather and ribbed cotton lining. At 12″W x 8″H x 1.5″D, the clutch has the perfect amount of room for your phone, lip gloss, wallet, etc., and yet isn’t as big as those oversized envelope clutches that sometimes look clumsy. The top folds over and is secured by a snap closure, while the zipper adds an exterior pocket as well as a tough-girl edge.

This clutch will definitely last you through the seasons and at $365, it definitely won’t break a fashionista’s budget.
