It’s the season of parties and Galas and the question is not, “What am I going to wear?” the real question is, “Which bag will I use?”. For the Bag Snobs, this is always the first question of the day and outfits are built around our daily bag of choice. And it is no different for formal affairs. That is why this Roberto Cavalli Satin Print Clutch is so appealing to us – it is especially easy to build an ensemble around and unless you’re in Chanel couture, this clutch will be the highlight of whatever you have on. Black and white is hot this season and the gold details makes this bag exquisite and lush. Yes, there is a big snake on this but I like it, it reminds me of something from Guiseppe Zanotti, my fave shoe designer for special occasions. But for the holidays, a little embellishment is acceptable, as long as they are not snowman, snowflakes, reindeer, trees, ghosts, pumpkins, etc. on sweaters (or any other article of clothing for that matter). Roberto Cavalli satin print clutch at Net-a-Porter for $1065.
