This Whiting & Davis design is truly a unique find. With its combination of texture, material, and vibrant color, the Lizzy Clutch makes for one fun, little evening bag.

The overall silhouette is fairly typical for a clutch. However, the structured and geometric v-shaped closure and bottom panel that meet in the middle combined with slightly gathered panels on the sides provides an interesting contrast.

It's the use of material that makes the Lizzy stand out, though. The sides are constructed with Whiting & Davis' signature metal mesh that gives the brand its undeniable vintage vibe. When that mesh meets up with lizard-embossed leather, however, the design takes on an appealing contemporary twist.

You can get the Lizzy Clutch in a neutral silvery gray, but the turquoise and hot pink choices definitely have more personality and really set of the contrasting textures. Plus, the pop of color is right on trend for cocktail parties and other dressy events this season. This Whiting & Davis handbag retails for $150.

This Liz Claiborne wristlet brings posh and sophisticated class to an unusual shape.

Crocodile print, with its spacious pattern, is generally saved for bigger purses and vintage bags. To see it being used surprisingly effectively for a little clutch is a great change.

The styling of this wristlet is very vintage. Whilst wrist straps weren't common back then, everything else is so retro: the big gold buckle, the glossy patent leather. It is both evening wear and smart office wear, and brilliantly versatile.

I have to say that personally I am not convinced by the alternate bag color, branded "matte gold". Rather than being glamorous and mature, this color actually looks more murky dull brown. Not nice! In black it looks great though!

Whilst the looks of this bag are expensive, the materials aren't. And understandably so; you are only paying $40 for this, after all. With this in mind, however, and especially considering the thinness of the handle, I wouldn't hold out for this vintage clutch to last for many seasons. It is even less likely to last with all the wear it may just get!

Burberry is one of those labels I love to hate. I get tired of the brand's iconic plaid purses, but when it steps out of the box the designs tend to fall flat. But Burberry seems to have gotten it right with the Lizzie. And there's not a hint of tartan in sight!

Instead the Lizzie features those on trend studs we're seeing so much of lately. The purse is virtually covered in them, but by keeping the metal small Burberry ensures the hardware doesn't get overwhelming. Plain diagonal leather strips break up the design, and are mirrored in the V-shaped pleats in the center of the purse.

The studs may be modern, but the size isn't. The Lizzie bucks the contemporary taste for oversized bags, and I think it works. Those studs may have overwhelmed on a larger canvas after all. Instead we get a purse which is large enough for carrying everyday essentials but doesn't weigh us down.

With the strap, the Lizzie is a cute daytime bag. But remove it and you've got one sexy little clutch for your next cocktail party. That day to night versatility makes the epic $2150 price a little easier to swallow.

Steve Madden goes more than a little bit disco with this brilliantly bright and studded wristlet.

It is nice to see a wristlet that is a decent size. They tend to be tiny, and sometimes it is good to have one that can fit more than a little cash and a tiny phone. Even better, this studded clutch still has that useful wristlet handle, making it easy to carry on a big night out.

The studs are great for the 80s trend that still seems to be sweeping the catwalk, although the look would be more vintage if the leather was black. As it is, the turquoise fabric brings the purse thoroughly up to date, even if it will coordinate with fewer outfits than black would!

The turquoise theme is carried on inside, but in a satin fabric. Unfortunately there is no convenient concealed strap to make life easier, but the smart materials and geometric stud work mean that if you like the looks you will make the effort to carry it around!

Although I'm a big proponent of the eco-friendly movement and am all for the practice of using unexpected recycled products in fashion, I've never been a huge fan of the Harveys seatbelt bags. I can appreciate the product for a clever use of the material. However, like the Nahui Ollin candy wrapper bags, I can't help but sometimes see the original material staring back at me when I look at them.

There are a few exceptions to my slight distaste for the brand, though, with one such style being the striped Harveys Rugby Satchel. Now I can add a new one to that short list. This Seatbelt Wristlet from the brand is definitely all seatbelt but on a smaller, more palatable scale.

Perhaps it is the vibrant red hue of the wristlet that attracts me as well. I actually like the way that the weaving on the bag brings out different tones within the color.

Like most practical wristlets, this Harveys design has a detachable wrist strap allowing you to either wear it on your hand, carry it as a clutch, or tuck it in a larger bag for extra storage. The price tag of $78 is a little steep for such a casual wrist bag, in my opinion, but it's not an uncommon range for an eco-friendly line.

I do like a functional clutch. Of course, sometimes it is nice to have something impractical and ridiculous in your grasp, but a useful and attractive purse can make life that little bit easier to manage!

This Latico Cris Cris clutch combines those two elements, looks and practicality, in one largely successful package. With slouchy roomy pockets both inside and out, and a biker-chic look, this may be one of the best functional wristlets around.

Those exterior pockets are cleverly used as the feature focus of the purse, catching attention and drawing it to the soft slouchy shape and triple-milled leather. They aren't, unfortunately, closeable; a simple but punky zip would have been an attractive and even more functional addition.

That leather, however, is a bit of a saving grace. Elegant, relaxed and yet strangely edgy, it really is the selling point of this little purse, making it refined yet dangerous. This works best in black; the effect is lost somewhat in the other shades, but that lovely leather quality is retained throughout the range.

All in all, from the wristlet strap to the unexpected floral lining, this purse looks and feels good. Is it as practical as it makes out though? Perhaps not.

Giuseppe Zanotti has really gone all out with this bold and edgy wristlet design.

Perfect for the 80s trend sweeping the globe, this chunky black clutch has a certain air of biker chic to it. From the huge over-sized black metal button clasp, through to the hard black leather and the skull and crossbones zip pull, everything shouts "Look at me - but don't come too close!"

Likely inspired by Alexander McQueen's bold and dangerous designs, this is a real stunner, and suits leather gloves and studs better than flowery girly ensembles. That said, combining the hard with the soft, the masculine with the girly is a look that is getting more and more popular.

Whilst the exterior of the Giuseppe Zanotti handbag is smokin' hot, I am a bit disappointed by the interior. After all, this is at the high end of luxury, costing over $1000. For that sort of biker money you don't just expect fantastic design, but extra luxury touches. That is why the cheap looking and unelaborated interior is such a let down, without quality lining or useful pockets.

As all too often happens, this is art over practicality where a combination of the two would have worked wonderfully!

If you're shopping for handbags in the under-$50 price range, chances are that you're not expecting real leather. When we're talking about exotic skins like python and crocodile, it's a guarantee that the texture will be embossed or created.

That's why it will probably be no surprise to anyone that this $42 clutch from Necessary Objects is entirely synthetic. What might be unexpected, though, is the amount of faux textures that this one little clutch contains.

I can pick out at least three separate embossed exotic skins on the Rocco Clutch. Snakeskins and croc take on individual roles each in their own color. This version of the clutch features the textures in two distinct colors of blue with dark brown trim. The blend of tones is appealing but also helps to bring together three different voices in the skins, which could otherwise be a disaster.

The handbag has an optional chain and synthetic strap that can be tucked inside when not in use. Personally, I dislike the shiny silver chain link next to the already busy surface of the clutch, but there are times when it would come in handy.

This Betsey Johnson Painted Python purse is totally on trend and of the moment. Just don't expect to pull it out next season.

While it suits the current taste for all things 1980s, the fluorescent snakeskin tones are just too vibrant to appeal for too long. Right now though, I love the way the orange and pink hues clash with neutral black and white. The angular zips trimmed in thick black PVC only add to its retro charm. I can imagine Madonna carrying this when she burst onto the music scene.

Wristlets are never large, but this one is a bit bigger than most. That should appeal to girls who want to carry around more than simply small change. You can keep your coins in the zippered pocket, separated from your lip gloss, cell phone, and other girly goodies. The detachable wrist strap is another practical touch, allowing the purse to convert from a wristlet to traditional clutch with ease.

It may not have a longstanding appeal, but at just $54 at least this won't cost you the earth. And unlike the totes and hobos featuring the same color scheme, this wristlet is small enough to hide away in a larger purse once the fad has passed.

Wristlets tend to be casual affairs, designed to help busy girls keep their cash and credit cards on hand. But Giuseppe Zanotti proves this style has red carpet potential with this sexy leather purse.

Black leather is a strange beast. At one moment it can look timeless and elegant. Add a few more details and it's biker cool. This wristlet strikes the balance between these two extremes. The curves and rose details are sophisticated. But the silver zipper trim gives the blooms a spiky edge, saving them from looking too frilly and feminine.

It's so small, it's no surprise that there's not much to crow about inside this wristlet. Its signature lining does the job, while the magnetic snap closure saves your spare change from spilling out. You might find space for a lipstick or teeny-tiny cell phone, but it's not likely to hold many luxuries.

I can imagine Pink, Katy Perry, or another of those outspoken musicians carrying this wristlet as they swagger down the Grammys red carpet. And at $695, those big stars might be the only ones that can afford to!
