Fans of Derek Lam are in luck – the popular young designer is coming out with a few new handbags, and like this Marlene Clutch, they’re all pretty much winners (though I can’t help but feel a bit nostalgic for his ram-detailed Hildegards). This dark khaki leather rectangular clutch comes with a wristl strap and signature details like the gold turn-lock closure bar and a front flap that dips in the middle. It’s not overly dressy, so it’s better suited for a nice dinner or hot date than a cocktail party. Because of this, you can expect to get a lot of mileage out of this chic but simple Derek Lam clutch. $990 at Barneys.com
