I've been searching for quite a while for a daytime clutch: a bag that's not formal or glitzy in any way and big enough to hold the essentials (phone, sunglasses case, keys, wallet, lipstick and compact). Also, I prefer a local, handmade item. The Nico clutch by Collina Strada (designer Hillary Taymour who relocated from L.A. to NY) is 12.5'' L x 10'' W, which seems like an ideal size. All Collina Strada items are made in the US, which I dearly appreciate. The design itself has movement and enough structure; and it goes with everything. $160 collinastrada.com
She is my (crafty) girl crush. I loved her FW 2011 collection, all in that fold detail, as seen in this clutch. If I was still wearing other people's bags, I'd wear hers.
