Budding superstars just get it – they’ve got to dress the part. I think this Charlotte Olympia Walk of Fame Perspex Matchbox Clutch may be a bit obvious with its intentions – “I’m awesome!”, “I’m a celebrity!” – but it could also just be an ironic little companion that makes a mockery of all the nonsense that is Hollywood. Celebs need to pay for their Walk of Fame stars anyway, so compared to that rather galactic figure this seems a downright bargain. Available for $995 at Net-a-Porter.

I’m a big fan of options – you’ll often find me rambling endlessly about the value of getting the most bang for your buck. I’m obviously not alone in that, as Foley + Corinna have finally, FINALLY introduced the Mid City Reversible Satchel. Following the same too-chic formula as the original, this version of the Mid City features a cool fold-over flap and can also be carried as a tote. Flip it inside out and it offers the same cool style with a completely different color scheme. For the price, it’s a pretty sweet deal! Available for $250 at Nordstrom.

If you’re in an Empire State of mind, you can do a few things: 1) head to the Big Apple, 2) listen to the song or 3) nab yourself a Deux Lux Empire State Clutch. This is by far the most stylish option, though it’s probably not the most exciting. Still, if you’re a bit far removed from NYC right now, this fiercely studded bag may be your best bet for now. Available for $115 at Nordstrom.

The Tinley Road Lila is literally a spin on the usual minaudiere in that it’s rotated ninety degrees. As a result, this chained bag becomes a little more utilitarian and less of a fussy evening bag. Plus, the casual shade of blue makes it easy for daytime wear with nearly anything. It’s $85 at Piperlime.

Early stocking stuffer alert! Though none of us are exactly thinking holiday season right now, it never hurts to do a little early shopping and save yourself drama at the end of the year. The Halogen Emily Wallet is cute and compact, perfect for those who prefer to pack light, and those who have never had to deal with the PITA otherwise known as cleaning out an overstuffed wallet. It’s available in four colors, including this chipper teal. Available for $38 at Nordstrom.

The classic chevron print receives the Kate Spade treatment on the new Bongalow Breeze April Clutch, a sweet day-appropriate companion that you can bet will enjoy plenty of time in the sunshine this spring.

Straw bag fans, you’ve hit the jackpot.

How fabulous will you feel all summer with this on your arm? Available for $1170 at Neiman Marcus.

I didn’t need to see the name to determine that this bag was Indian. The Raj Imports Beaded Clutch evokes all of those traditionally Hindustani qualities that make the culture’s fashions so noteworthy, from the vibrant colors to the intricate bead work. This clutch is more of a daytime option, but it still dazzles with opulent shine and a pretty palette of rich blues, reds and yellows. Available for $48 at Nordstrom.

The punchy little Coach Legacy Perforated Tanner Mini Tote is special mainly because it’s available in an array of pretty colors. I’m feeling this robin’s egg blue, but it’s also available in light coral and chalk. The punctured aesthetic is what makes this tote noteworthy; without it, it’s just a plain old tote. I love the color, along with the very necessary tassel accent. Available for $268 at Nordstrom.
