Once again we show off another amazing find by Judith Leiber. This time around she presents to us an exotic that has been seen from time to time in the world of handbags, and we’re not just talking animal print here, instead, it’s an entire miniature model of a zebra. There is nothing to dislike about this daintily resting zebra clutch, other than the fact that you’re limited to what you can carry along for the night.

When you think about it in those terms, what fun is there in obtaining a piece that better serves décor than a bag? The only conclusions I can draw to that would be that if you have whooping $5,000 to invest on a one-of-a-kind, collector’s piece, then why the heck not?

Lions & Tigers, clutches and totes…. Oh,my! These prints are everywhere this season! Sure, leopard and tiger are always visible in some capacity, but this year, you can find these prints by almost every designer with price points both low and high! While I kept being tempted by so many of the styles out there, if I listed them all here, I wouldn’t get to review them in-depth and individually. So here are just a few from brands you know and love to get you started on the hunt yourself!

Judith Leiber Wildcat Crystal Embellished Clutch
I thought I’d start off with a dream bag. Only a few can afford, but will cherish. The quality is jewel-like and so special to see. Silver, gold and brown leopard shaped box covered with fine swarovski crystals. Gold leather lining and a fine, chain link hand that can hide inside the bag finish this bag beautifully. There’s even an designer engraved miniature vanity mirror. Oh so amazing for $5495.

If Disney’s Princess Ariel can have any clutch she desired, this one would probably be it. Judith Leiber and her amazing collection takes inspirations from the sea with her Clam Shell fine-crystal Clutch. It’s pretty self explanatory and being a piece by Leiber, you know how incredibly stunning this piece is in real life. Pay attention to the exquisite detailing of this clam clutch and you’ll see how each multi-hued crystal creates this colorful and dazzling piece. Some cluster lines even feature miniature pearl detailing within the Swarovski crystals. Whether this clutch would fit your lifestyle or not, you cannot deny the fact that this piece, and like most Leiber accessories, is hands down stunning. This exquisite piece is not for the average pocket book as a whooping $4,395 is the asking price for this clutch. With that said, I’ll just take a look and nothing more.

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.

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!

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!
