“I’m dreaming tonight about a handbag I want …” Christmas is the season for dreaming and wishing, and that’s exactly what most girls who want this handbag will have to be content with. Dreamin’ and wishin’ about it because the Chloé Beaded Small Bracelet Bag, the third bag to be spotlighted in the “12 Handbags of Christmas,” is priced at $1140! I suppose the elaborate beading and gold hardware, along with the craftsmanship and design, has a large part in that price tag, but still, $1140 is a lot of money.

Regardless of price, I chose this handbag (7.5″ x 9″ x 3″) to highlight because it’s fun and is a unique design. Made from garnet red satin, it was inspired by one of designer Phoebe Philo’s bracelets. I love when designers combine jewelry elements into their purses. Plus, the red round beads remind me of Christmas ornaments. Can’t you just see them on the tree?!

Now, after spotlighting this high-priced item, I feel the need to choose more affordable handbags next week. So, I’m off to window shop …
