It doesn’t get much more unique than this. Oscar de la Renta makes even wicker a subject of fascination with this new wicker clutch. Available in your choice of exquisite gold or sharp white wicker, this clutch is just stunning. It features a kiss-lock closure and a top handle, two details that don’t usually team up – at least not successfully. Here, though, it all pulls together beautifully. The clutch is elegant, smart and stylish, perfect for casual lunches, dressy affairs and simple outings. Just look at it and imagine how well it will complement just about anything in your closet. Those kinds of purses are few and far between. This charmer is $595 at neimanmarcus.com.

About two or three years ago Jessica Simpson came into the spotlight and made us realize that a girl can never have enough It Bags. This girl is probably one of the chosen few who can lust and actually purchase every It Bag she comes across. Here she is toting one of her new prized possessions, a beautiful and ornate Oscar de la Renta Bag. Although her outfit doesn’t go match her bag, I honestly don’t care. The Oscar de la Renta Bag is just beautiful enough to look at, too beautiful that our attention is veered away from her horrible outfit.

More photos from this Oscar de la Renta show in our forum
Oscar de la Renta could make a bathrobe look exquisite, and his fall 2007 ready-to-wear show at New York’s Fashion Week was chock-full of stunning pieces. There was shimmery fabric, trim belted sweaters, both skinny and wide-legged trousers, lots of fur trim, and updated versions of houndstooth. It’s easy to see any of his designs transition perfectly into the office or on the street, and his tasteful coats were to die for. De la Renta’s evening gowns were especially beautiful, including one refreshing and youthful hot pink long belted column dress that contrasted nicely with his more classic long black gowns. It’s nice to see a male designer with a keen understanding of what women want, and de la Renta’s collection surpassed all expectation. Start saving those pennies, ladies.

Oscar de la Renta offers his signature regal glam in this embroidered stirrup bag. The general shape of this Oscar de la Renta Stirrup Embroidered Shoulder Bag is casual enough, a simple shoulder bag that is easy to carry. However, this incredibly elegant leather bag has gold leaf embroidery, antiqued gold pailettes, crocheted gold metallic thread in an elaborate and intricate pattern all over the purse that is done by hand. When you pay for a luxury handbag, this is what you pay for, the hours and hours of workmanship that makes you, as the customer feel important.

This rough, bohemian-looking Oscar de la Renta Large Embroidered Tote looks a little chaotic at first, until you get closer and can appreciate the details. Oscar de la Renta has presented us with what looks like a humble canvas tote embellished with a hodgepodge of materials. Upon closer inspection, you will see a huge variety of wooden beads, wrapped or framed with several types of crochet and corded thread embroidery on top. Looped, twisted, woven and knotted, there are as many embroidery variations as types of beads on this handbag. This purse may remind you of the 1970′s, with its groovy color palette and materials, but the handiwork and detail will bring you squarely into modern times.

Beautifully designed and exceptionally delicate, Oscar de la Renta‘s Shell Satin Clutch is the epitome of elegance. This exquisite bag is generously adorned with miniature off white shells and beads. Resting atop a bed of champagne satin, the decor is especially breathtaking and unique. (After all, how many of us have shells plastered on our designer handbags?) It could have been tacky, but instead translates perfectly. Oscar de la Renta’s Shell Satin Clutch is $795 at bergdorfgoodman.com.
