Yes! A photo was found proving Jimmy Choo’s oversized clutch indeed is a day clutch, by my standards.

Here is Victoria “Posh” Beckham with Jimmy Choo’s Fold-Over “Day” Clutch. Styled similarly to the Mahala and Marcia bags, the Fold-Over Clutch features black leather, bronze hardware, a wristlet strap and of course that square ring on front. And yes, it does fold over - at the zipper.

Selling for $1,250 (a bit much, but it is big) this purse is available now at Neiman Marcus.

… Now to find a more affordable day clutch in a day color.

This tote is from Chanel’s new Paris Biarritz collection for SS 2007. Wow!

If all my body fat were removed (please god) all my extra matter would easily fit in here.
My whole torso would fit in here.
Both of my legs would fit in here.
My paddington collection could fit in here.
A weekend’s worth of clothing could fit in here.

You get the drill, but …

It wouldn’t fit in …

On my lap,
Just barely on a car seat,
On a shelf or hook or in my closet.

Oh boy.

Almost genius and almost two bags in one is this Dolce & Gabbana Convertible bag. In black leather with gold hardware, this plainly shaped bag has two side handles that meet in the center to be held. (Left) But there’s also a chain shoulder strap so the bag can be carried another way. I really wish that the handles and neat V shape of the bag would remain in that position, by the handles being attached that way, even when the bag is carried by the strap. It’s a very attractive look, but carried the other way, the bag is just a rectangle with awkward rings sticking up. Not smart design there.

If you like the bag, it pre-orders through Neiman Marcus for $1,995. Perhaps you can really rock the look!

Ooh, I’m seeing indication of an IT bag budding! Featured in InStyle Magazine, and now carried by Madonna, this unique tote by Yves Saint Laurent is prepped to be the house’s next big bag.

Featuring side belts (yummmmmm, mmmmmmmm *drool*), horizontal zippers and a trio of studs, the YSL Downtown Tote is certainly identifiable.

But is it all that attractive? I only kind of like it. But I say if I were to buy into this trend, I’d go for the Raffia version—it’s in two-toned brown and less expensive.

Madonna’s black leather style costs $1,395 and pre-orders through Neiman Marcus.

This season of Isabella Fiore handbags is the best the designer’s had out of the past several. With styles to suit more varied tastes - western, ladylike, edgy, light & fun - I even found two bags I really want to get this Spring to represent my appreciation.

The “Terry” frame bag is black and white with extremely intricate elegant embroidery (I even see heart outlines in it, how cute) and mod shape hanging fobs. This large sized, detail-filled, purse is only $475 to bag.

That’s not looking too sweet with me buying two, but hopefully I can spread out my purchases. One for now … one mid-Spring? Alas, I’m trying to save my money at the moment, but I’m working on it!

Balenciaga isn’t sold online in stores as it is in department stores and city boutiques. But I found that a certain online retailer has authentic bags that are harder to get elsewhere - all authentic - Diabro.net (I bought a Silverado from them so far).

I may just make two more purchases this Spring and one would be a dream Balenciaga; the quilted Matelasse bag, which has elegant styling to appeal to a different kind of fashionista than the motorcycle may - like moi! It still has some signature touches (like studs and tassels), and add that plush pillow quliting, and there’s no wonder it’s IT. It’s “big”, but not too big - and roomy at 12″ x 8″ 5.5″.

The Diabro price is usually just around retail, and this goatskin satchel’s pricetag is $1,659. We’ve got to save up quick, huh?

Luella’s Fury Box Bag is dainty and daring at once. A frame bag with studs at quilting meeting points, it’s a modern hip bag but with some lady elegance. I love the completely new and unique front pocket closure: a key on a chain simply slides through a loop! Finally there are two chain straps tied together with a bow; marvelously hip femme. Having not hit stores yet, but you can check this and others out at Luella.com, I’m unsure about size and price.

I apologize to those who are furious they must wait to purchase Luella’s fury bag! It’s so IT and chic - an instant classic, but definitely for any age!
