Maybe it’s just the holiday spirit taking over my senses, but suddenly I’m seeing a whole brigade of bags that could double as festive decorations for your Christmas tree. From clusters of beads and jewels to fanciful adornments to glitter galore to in-your-face lettering, forget the strung bright lights. Decorate yourself this season with Christmas ornament clutches!
1. Marni Flower-Embellished Camera Bag: Think of this as a camera bag in festive disguise. An explosion of artful beads, faceted jewels, and shiny flowers wisely gets balanced out by a utilitarian woven shoulder strap. At Barneys New York for $1,370.
2. Edie Parker Flavia Ho Ho Ho Glittered Acrylic Box Clutch: Spread some instant holiday cheer – and some North Pole humor – with this mantle-worthy clutch. A chic pearlescent box clutch takes on new meaning emblazoned with a quintessential slogan in red glitter. On NET-A-PORTER for $1,495.
3. Dolce and Gabbana Sara Crystal-Embellished Lace Shoulder Bag
4. Saint Laurent Lulu Bunny Small Glitter Shoulder Bag: In fuschia, the Lulu Bunny is pure party fun. In luxe gold and silver, this glitter-coated bag shines brighter than the star at the top of your tree. On My Theresa for $1,390.
5. Alexander McQueen Knucklebox Ivy-Embellished Clutch: McQueen’s shapely clusters of Swarovski crystals may technically be designed to resemble ivy, but this time of year, these leaves read mistletoe all the way. On MATCHESFASHION.com for $3,833.
