Desperate Housewives costume designer, Cate Adair, has come up with a great and unusual funky clutch. This uniquely shaped purse is just the thing for swishing around at designer events and looking hugely fashionable!

I particularly wanted to bring your attention to the rather attention-seeking shape. Slightly nautical in design, it features elegant pointed corners and a curved line. The subtle and lovely crocodile quilting is gentle enough to keep all eyes on the shape, so the handbag doesn't feel ignored!

Of course the shape means that you have a deceptive amount of space. With cute inner zipped pockets and a soft purple/lilac lining, this clutch is very much a classy and useful so-and-so. It's elegant enough to wear to a sophisticated dinner or wild party, not to mention being a great little day bag for work or play.

The chain strap is, as always, bound to be slightly uncomfortable. It does look great, however, when contrasted with the padded quilting and the feature foldover clasp. Balance this little beauty on its supportive feet, and prepare to dance the night away around it!

The most glamorous stars of the small screen sparkled at the annual 2008 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. There were so many amazing outfits, and a few shockers, but in my opinion the best-dressed was Cynthia Nixon.

The Sex & The City star showed her love of Calvin Klein, wearing the designer's seafoam sheath dress, his shoes, and even a Calvin Klein clutch. This elegant purse adds a dramatic pop to Cynthia's pastel teal dress, but that's not all. It also doubles as a mirror! Now that's just what you need to ensure you stay looking fabulous all night long!

Cynthia keeps the bling to a minimum, wearing classic diamonds by Fred Leighton.

What I love most about this outfit is that it's stylish and subtle. So many red carpet ensembles appear passé days later. But Cynthia's understated red carpet look will appear elegant for years to come!

The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are rolling out the red carpet tomorrow. The official reason for their existence is to pay tribute to the stars of the small screen, but we all know you're really glued to the box for the fashions. It's all about the glamorous gowns, the glittering jewels, and those must-have handbags.

Keep your eyes peeled this year for this Platinum Clutch, an exclusive purse by Desperate Housewives' costume designer Cate Adair. This one-of-a-kind beauty is valued at more than half a mllion dollars! The breathtaking bag features genuine platinum accents and 60 carats of Kwait diamonds.

"Only the finest materials are used in my handbag collection, so I chose two of the best materials in the jewelry industry - platinum and Kwiat diamonds - to bring the Platinum Clutch to life. The natural whiteness of Platinum showcases the true beauty of the diamonds and ensures they will be held securely on the red carpet, during the award show and at the after parties."

You'll have to wait and see which lucky star gets to carry this amazing handbag, but I'm sure whoever it is will be clutching it very tightly! After gracing the red carpet, the Platinum Clutch will be on display at Kwait's newest store on New York's Madison Avenue.
