Lavishly decorated with crystals and glass pearls, this elegant Oscar de la Renta Silk Embroidered Clutch really needs no introduction. It makes a statement from afar, but since it’s white it’s nonetheless quite low key. The combination of a striking floral embellishment and lustrous white silk is irresistible – and almost enough to make any woman say I do. Gorgeous! Available for $1050 at Net-a-Porter.

Intense is not usually a word I use to describe something as pink and girly as this Oscar de la Renta Embroidered Roll Clutch. But what else can be said about a heavily decorated, glossy snakeskin bag? The colorful stones are seemingly hammered in by sparkling crystals and finished with a myriad of hanging chains. This edgy detail toughens up the bag just enough. Available for $1290 at Oscar de la Renta.

There’s something very film noir about this Oscar de la Renta Lizard Grafton Clutch. Both the squarer shape and ever so slightly tapered sides are a throwback to art deco proportions. You can imagine a flawless Lauren Bacall reaching into it for her silver cigarette case while she convincingly lies about not killing her stepfather (that’s not from a real movie, but you get the picture). The contrasting texture of the lizard exterior – dappled on the edges with horizontal ridges running down the middle – creates a rich spectrum of color and the lack of hardware showcases the sumptuous pattern. Choosing a color could be tough – the teal has the most polished depth of color, but the patent sheen on the black is hard to pass up, then again there’s something about red lizard that says “no one is the boss of me.” Pick up this glamorous clutch at Oscar de la Renta for $2,190.

Box clutches are an insane passion of mine. From Bottega Veneta to vintage, I find them to be the absolute most chic clutch a woman can carry, especially for evening. This Jeweled Box Clutch from Oscar de la Renta is a box clutch lover’s dream. Embellished with jewels on both sides, the purse has loads of depth thanks to the tonal details. Not just another little black handbag, this clutch has leather trim on the edges and closes with a substantial jewel closure. Proof that black does not always equal boring. The Jeweled Box Clutch retails for $895 and is available at net-a-porter.com.

$895 for this?!? You must be joking. If ever there was a case of the “emperor has no clothes,” it’d be this flimsy Oscar de la Renta Transparent Travel Tote. There’s nothing to it – and certainly nothing to warrant even a fraction of that price. The bag is made of clear PVC with white or black leather trim and gold hardware. You’re really just paying for the de la Renta name, but for $895 one would expect to at least have some actual material so your personal belongings aren’t on display. Nice try, Oscar.

This ornate Oscar de la Renta Satin Clutch may be conventionally beautiful, but there’s something a little uninspired and, frankly, out of touch about it. An older woman could easily get away with the dressy-dressy clutch (available in black or nude), but younger fashionistas can do better than the elaborate, questionable clear crystal brooch the bag sports. It’s certainly not hip or cutting-edge, that’s for sure. This semi-garish embellishment would have been better left to the Bob Mackie “Dynasty” gowns from whence it came. $795 at Neimanmarcus.com

Usually when I hear the word “embroidered,” my mind summons up images of quaint “Home Sweet Home” pillows stitched up by Grandma herself. Thankfully this Oscar de la Renta Embroidered Leather Tote is a lot more stylish and cutting-edge than that. Available in cream or red, the geometric-shaped leather bag boasts intricate distressed floral embroidery that is striking and a bit exotic. It’s definitely not old-fashioned or cutesy, which so often happens with this technique. And who can resist the tortoiseshell-chain detail on the shoulder strap? This looks like a handbag you might have picked up in a faraway land, and is sure to garner lots of compliments.

In principle, I have nothing against this Oscar de la Renta Python Hobo. In reality, however, I feel that only residents of Miami or some other flamboyantly tropical destination can get away with carrying it. C’mon – it’s turquoise-tinted python! That’s not going to go down too well in black-is-best NYC, and it’s not even sold in California. Still, the camel leather trim and strap and tortoise logo plate are pretty hard to pass up…and it is an Oscar de la Renta. You could always buy it now and save it for your next South Beach vacation.
