Sara Jones Carries a Woven Clutch

Sarah Jones attended the exclusive Bon Jovi concert at Star City in Sydney, Australia on December 15, 2010, looking ready for a night of fun. Check her out:

Sarah, pictured here with Mark Bosnich, arrived for the event in an ensemble that consisted mostly of black, save for a lively floral corset top—black blazer, black pencil skirt, and black suede cut-out boots. She finished her look with a black patent leather woven clutch.

Sarah does look nice and lovely, even if her look bordered on the safe side. I mean, you couldn’t really go wrong with black, right? I like how she donned the floral top to add that pop of color to her look. But since, we’re here for her purse, let’s get on to that. Here’s Sarah’s woven clutch in detail:

So what can you say with Sarah’s woven clutch? It’s black, but it isn’t really the basic black since it’s woven. The woven element gave the clutch an edge, and added texture to Sarah’s lovely look.

Malin Akerman’s Dolce & Gabbana Satchel Lassie Sicily

I assume you’re familiar with Malin Akerman–if not by name, then probably by face. Malin’s sweet face had graced quite a number of famous Hollywood Films, including 27 Dresses and last year’s Couples Retreat. Also, she’s the girl who played Ryan Reynold’s ex-girlfriend in The Proposal. Do you remember her now? If not still, then this image of her might just remind you:

Much as I love giving you more tidbits about Malin Akerman, we’re really not here for that. We’d rather be talking now about woven purses–Malin Akerman’s Dolce & Gabbana Satchel Lassie Sicily purse, in particular: Take a good look:

Here’s the store photo:

Notice something? Yes, it’s crochet! And it’s actually not the first time that this satchel’s been out and about in public. Earlier this year, several stars have totted the Dolce & Gabbana Satchel Lassie Sicily. Take a look:

Victoria Beckham looks posh with it, while Ashley Greene’s version added a chic element to her cool downtown look. As for Madonna, the bag definitely gave her appearance a glamorous boost.

So do you like the Dolce & Gabbana Satchel Lassie Sicily? It’s quite easy to warm up to this trendy crochet purse. It has a long strap and a handle that makes it versatile to be carried on the shoulder or on the crook of your arm. Plus, it’s crochet element makes it quite lovable. Well, it won’t be last spring’s must-have bag for nothing. But, I can’t say the same thing with it’s price. It’s currently not available anywhere, but it was last retailed for $1,695.00. Farfetch.com says it’s out of stock, so even if you’re well able to buy it, you’d have to wait for stocks to arrive. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.

Cameron Diaz Steps Out with a Woven Purse in Berlin

Cameron Diaz was a picture of gray and brown when she stepped out for dinner last Friday in Berlin, Germany.

Cameron has been touring Europe to promote her new film, The Green Hornet, and was seen enjoying dinner at the Borchardt restaurant in Berlin.

The ever-so-svelte actress is certainly dressed for the cold, with no frills whatsoever. I’m just not sure, though, what’s under the coat. Nevertheless, while I cannot find anything particularly unique with her attire, I’m definitely digging the woven purse she’s carrying. It looks like a Bottega Veneta ‘Veneta’ Large Hobo to me. Do you think so? Well, let’s take a closer look:

Hmmm… I definitely think it’s a Bottega Veneta hobo, which happens to be a favorite among celebs, actually. It’s really a one of a kind purse that it’s quite becoming a classic. With its rich woven detail, soft nappa leather, and easy handling, it’s definitely a great all-around purse.
