Coffee Break: Bel Air Clutch

Ooh: I’m really liking this new series of bags from Balenciaga, including this clutch/purse.

I was initially attracted to the picture above, with the model holding the bag by the top handle — but the bag can also be worn as a long shoulder bag. (They don’t show it as a crossbody, but I’ll bet you could wear it as such if you prefer that style.)

The bag comes in burgundy and black, and is $2,650 at NET-A-PORTER and other department stores.

Looking for something similar but for less? This DeMellier bag or this Veronica Beard would be my first choice (both just under $500); the Pia bag from Teddy Blake is similar and on sale at Nordstrom.

On theme today: an upside down striped halter top. I’m not sure I’d wear it to work, but you do you!
