What's in a bag?
Does it matter what brand you are carrying or the color or the design or the size of the bag?
Moreover what do you carry in a bag?
Do bags make a person's personality?
A lot of people love clutches, especiall by native New York designer Fiona Kotur. The brand is small and independent, but the designs are the type of bold, self-assured look that you’d expect to see from a much bigger (not to mention much more expensive) brand. Kotur makes larger bags that stretch into the thousands of dollars, but its clutches are really where the company’s aesthetic shines, and all of the pieces on the Moda Operandi Resort 2013 pre-sale retail for $650 or less.
On the higher end of that price spectrum, you’ll find solid brass minaudieres embellished with snakeskin, sequins or glitter, plus larger clutches made out of striated inlaid perspex. For $295, there are a couple of embossed lizard options, and in between those two price levels there are all kinds of goodies to covet.
The Louis Vuitton Haute Maroquinerie design rooms are only available in select Maison stores, and as best I can tell, that includes flagships in Paris, Milan, Sydney and Taipei, and will include Bond Street in London in the near future. Customers can pick from the five shapes pictured below in several sizes, eight types of ultra-premium leather (including crocodile) and more than 25 colors. The bags are then almost entirely handmade upon order to the customer’s specifications, and the client’s name is engraved on the interior of the bag. Louis Vuitton discontinued its special order program not long ago, and it appears as though it was in an effort to make way for this program, which will likely spread to all the Maison stores in the not-so-distant future.
