Item Of The Week: This bag is the perfect shape! Oversized and attention-getting without being overworked or over-designed, classic but modern, graphic in its details but simple in shape. Depending on color combinations, the bag ranges from around $1800-$2500, and it’s sold out virtually everywhere…my search continues…sigh.

Target just announced that its next designer collaboration will be a handbag line by Mulberry. The line will hit Target.com and most Target stores on October 10 and be available through December 24.

The clutch is a lucite relic and the shop owner says that it’s one-of-a-kind (take that with a grain of salt.) Not only is the clutch utterly lovely and available for $1500, but ShopLuxirare.com is absolutely chock full of awesome finds, both vintage and contemporary. Even if you don’t want to buy the clutch, you should check out the site for the awesome eye candy. Buy through ShopLuxirare.com for $1500.

At Cartier, chief handbag designer Marlin Yuson reinterpreted the brand’s iconic Marcello tote into a hands-free leather-and-watersnake version (available in three sizes) that has appeal whether you’re an Upper East Side mom or a Bohemian living in the West Village. Debuting in June at Cartier boutiques worldwide, it’s a fabulous day bag that transitions well into night (at least with the smallest size). What’s more, each bag comes with a matching shorter strap that allows a seamless conversion from over the shoulder to under the arm in no time flat.

Inside, the attention to detail is impeccable. An inner magnetic flap keep valuables secure in the small and medium versions, while the large size boasts a full zipper closure across the top that’s roomy enough to accommodate a slim laptop. A back magnetic closure affords another roomy pocket for convenient access. Perhaps what I appreciate most is the Cartier “CC” logo discreetly etched on inside flap (there’s nothing that screams Cartier on this bag). Produced and manufactured in Florence, Italy, the saddle bag features one inner pocket with Cartier double “CC” logo closure while rounded metal strap bases lend a modern, polished finish. In rich colors like dark caramel, ebony suede and cherry red, the top-stitched corners are reminiscent of the original Marcello. For those who want an exotic piece–crocodile and python are among the options–a made-to-measure service will be available.
