At New York Fashion Week, the style we see in the crowds is often just as exciting as the looks on the runway. This year the event introduced us to Cecelia clutches, which seemed to be in the hands of every hot young celebrity.
Actresses Alexis Bledel, Emmy Rossum, Rachel Bilson, and Zoe Saldana were just some of the stars spotted clutching the exotic purses. And honestly, I don’t blame them. With prices ranging between $525 and $790, the Connecticut-based designer offers exotics at much more affordable prices than the big European fashion houses.
There are a range of skins to choose from including python, stingray, and ostrich. Many are also more versatile than the average clutch, such as Rachel Bilson’s favorite convertible clutch which can be hand-held the old fashioned way or worn across the body with a removable chain.
So many celebrity fashions are too expensive for Average Josephines to contemplate, so I love seeing the stars embracing a range that’s within our reach. Cecelia clutches are available from a range of American retailers and Madison Robertson and Diavolina online.
