Christmas might have passed now, but that certainly doesn’t signal an end to parties and other festivities. With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, evening bags and sparkly purses are still a major priority when it comes to accessorizing for celebrations.
Although New Year’s Eve is less than a week away, there’s still time to do some handbag shopping for parties you’ll be attending. Whatever your style and budget range, there’s a special occasion bag to be found. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
If price is a main concern, especially after all of that Christmas shopping, brands like La Regale and Big Buddha offer some pretty options that won’t break the bank. The intricately beaded La Regale 21006 Clutch in any color, retailing for only $32, would be a great addition to cocktail attire. Likewise, the shimmering Big Buddha Serena Small Clutch in silver or gold mesh hits the mark with its $60 price tag.
For those who want something a little out of the ordinary, the pleated satin Inge Christopher Mallorca Clutch and this sequined Santi handbag are miles away from your average special occasion bag. Inge Christopher’s Krystle Minaudiere is equally pretty and distinct in style.
When money isn’t an option and designer labels are calling your name, you’ll find some gorgeous designs from major names. The silver sequined Kate Spade El Morocco Paola Clutch is on the slightly affordable designer range ringing in at $475 and conveniently converting to a shoulder bag. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Giuseppe Zanotti’s contemporary and iridescent fold-over evening bag with crystals (seen above) is top of the line in quality with a price that reflects that.
