Not all clutches are created equally and reigning the world of elegant evening bags and Minaudieres is, without any doubt, the iconic American classic Judit Leiber. Look at this divine birdcage piece from the 44-year old house. It is one of the most beautiful bags I have ever seen (I like drama in a bag, once in a while) and is a worthy investment being a very unique and rare piece. The price is not cheap at USD5,595 but if you are to get a Judith Leiber, this is one of the must-haves. The Birdcage is available at Neiman Marcus.
