Derek Lam Elsa clutch in python ($1,450 at Derek Lam 212-966-1616, or email Wayne!)
I love Kate Moss and I love Derek Lam, and I love that Kate loves Derek, too. Okay enough gushing but I’m really excited to see Kate carrying Derek’s Elsa clutch in gray python. Kelly waxed on over the leather version($790) but I’m all about this lovely shade of steel gray exotic skin (I am so treating myself to this for Mother’s Day!). Sexy and flirtatious, it’s perfect for the martini sipping Derek Lam girl (I like mine dirty and shaken please, with extra olives!). This is a large clutch at 11″ and has little extras like the magnetic asymmetric outer pocket to hold your ID for easy access (if you’re lucky enough to get carded) plus hidden flap pocket. Luxe satin lined interior holds another zipper pocket and open pocket– the Elsa clutch has all the functionality of a large bag without the bulk which makes it great to use during the day, too! The small loop will allow you to actually hold it without the football grip when shopping, much more chic. Call Jeff or Wayne at the Derek Lam boutique to order 212-966-1616— or stop by in person to check out the ultra chic space at 10-12 Crosby St at Howard.
Elsa clutch also available in Oatmeal python at Barneys New York here.
Just eighteen months after the opening of New York City’s iconic New Museum, the architects of SANAA have returned with a surprising second act, designing Derek Lam’s flagship boutique in Lower SoHo (its first stand alone boutique). The acclaimed Tokyo-based duo, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa and award-winning designer Derek Lam met in 2005, and a year and a half ago began a collaboration to make a space that is marked by modern sensibilities, calculated simplicity and highly perfected detailing.
