Judith Leiber Beehive Clutch

Deysa — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:02:31 +0000

If you have ever come in contact with a beehive in real life, you know it could be one of the most interesting structures you’ve encountered, yet an extremely scary one as well.

The buzzing sound of the bees alone is alerting enough to stay away, as you probably don’t want to deal with such an injury. Here’s a beehive that’s 100% less intimidating and one of the most beautiful you could possibly run into.

Meet the Beehive Clutch, presented by evening bag genius, Judith Leiber.

I’m such a fan of Leiber, I find it amazing at how the House of Leiber models practically anything into the cutest dazzling clutches you can find at your local designer boutique. This sweet little evening piece features the beehive shaped adorned in sparkling yellow, topaz, and brown crystals throughout. Gold toned hardware trims the edges, composes the chained shoulder strap, and decors the removable round vanity mirror included inside this clutch.

Carry this to your special outing in hand or as mentioned earlier, by means of a chained gold strap which can be found tucked neatly inside. You can find this adorable piece with bees and all for a whooping $5,295.

Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch

BrS — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:28:49 +0000

Back in September, Jennifer had posted in TBF a comment about a Judith Leiber Snowy Owl Pillbox. That tiny little guy sure was cute! And it seemed as though several of my fellow TBFers agreed. Unfortunately, the adorable little pillbox was just that… a pillbox. Something to display on a shelf or inside a curio, not something that had any practical purpose.

Well it appears that Judith Leiber has decided to take this cute little owl and made him a wee bit more functional. Introducing the Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch! This gorgeous piece is covered with multicolored Swarovski crystals. I love the luminescent glow that these crystals have. It’s as if they change color right before your eyes as the light hits them from different angles. Plus the delicate glass eyes really seem to bring the owl to life. And I also love how this clutch comes with it’s own little pocket mirror! Only for super special occasions, I think this clutch would really glam-up a simple black dress. And when you’re not using it, simply tuck in the chain strap (as shown in the picture above) and display it alongside all your other pretties! Wow, what a beautiful addition this would make to a Judith Leiber collection!

The Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch measures 4 inches wide (all the way around) and 6 inches tall. It is fully lined and it opens at the top via a push-lock closure. Find it Here @ NET-A-PORTER!

Judith Leiber Australian Crystal Heart N Soul Bag

Marissa — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 21:30:29 +0000

Whether, it’s a heart featured on a handbag or accessory there is no denying that hearts are very in style at the moment. Louis Vuitton made the heart trend very popular with their Vernis heart coin purse, and it comes as no surprise that other designers getting in on the heart trend.

Saks Fifth Avenue is exclusively bringing us a piece by Judith Leiber and it’s called the Heart N Soul bag. The Heat N Soul bag is beaded with Australian crystals and is lined in luxe metallic leather.

The Judith Leiber Heart N Soul bag can be carried in your hand or by the hidden chain strap that is located inside the bag. Other features of the bag include an interior logo nameplate and a push-lock closure.

The Heart N Soul bag may be beautiful but it can pretty much only be worn at night. Another downfall of the bag is that it is very small, and you can’t fit much of anything in the bag. With a width of 4 inches and a height of 4 inches, what could you possibly fit in the bag that you would need with you on a night out on the town? The bag would be perfect for a little evening bag, but of course it would be an evening bag that carries a very hefty price.

The Judith Leiber Heart N Soul handbag can only be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue and it carries a price of $2,195. In my opinion, the bag is stunning but not worth the money. For a bag so small that can only be worn at night, why pay that much? But of course if you have the extra cash this bag would look great in any collection.

Leiber Limited-Edition Strawberry Cupcake Clutch
Feast your eyes on the new one of a kind strawberry cupcake that will last a lifetime! Freshly baked right out of this seasons’ oven from designer Lieber (meets Strawberry Shortcake) is this sweet, savory and sparkly mini-cake clutch with yummy looking pink frosting on top. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I came across this little baked good because I’ve personally never seen anything like it before. And if I had $4,295 to blow just like that, I’d definitely eat this one up!

The Strawberry Clutch by Lieber is coverd in beautiful Australian crystals in rose and light pink. I absolutely love how this clutch sparkles and shines from all of the tiny stones. And what I also love is how life-like it is. The frosting is shaped unevenly and swirly, just how it looks in real life when used as a topping on real cupcakes. And it even features a little cupcake holder, detalied and all. I must say that I am totally captivated by this piece. It’s completely different, yet feminine and elegant from the all-over pink crystals. And as for where this one falls on the trend meter, it’s not like strawberry cupcakes will ever be tasteless!

Judith Leiber’s Wavy Curve Crystal Clutch

Judith Leiber’s Wavy Curve Crystal Clutch
While browsing through Judith Leiber’s collection of Austrian crystal covered miniatures, purses and bags I stumbled upon this delicious sorbet colored handheld boxy shaped evening bag. This beautiful clutch features hand glued Austrian crystals neatly arranged all over the body, with a push down closure, and a detachable chain strap.

The History: The inspiration behind the Judith Leiber’s crystal evening bags sparked when Mrs. Leiber ordered a gift by mail, but by the time she received the present (a polished metal box) it had scratches all over the body. So what’s an aspiring handbag designer to do? Mrs. Leiber whipped out her craft box and creatively covered the entire box with gorgeous crystals. 40 years the same techniques are still being used.
