While LeeAnn Rimes is still very much under public scrutiny for her controversial hook-up with current boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, that just doesn’t stop her from getting fab with her Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag.

LeeAnn globe-trotted with this celebrities’ current favorite purse. She was seen shopping in Malibu, CA with her Diane von Furstenberg purse just a few days ago, and was also spotted making her way through an airport in Canada with said purse in tow. Here’s a closer look at the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag:

I must admit that this purse looks appealing. The knitted metallic leather is unique and eye-catching, while the slouchy hobo style makes for an easy wear. And if you’re into purses that hold a lot of stuff, then this purse is certainly made for you. I’m not sure, though, if you still feel that way when you finally take a look at the current price tag. The medium version of this purse is available at dvf.com for a whopping $875.00. So if the price is quite damaging to your wallet yet you still want a purse that looks like the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Large Gold Bag, you may want to take a look at these stunning and less-expensive woven purses I’ve found for you:

Back to the purse, here’s a closer look at the Zac Posen Woven Flap Clutch.

A black woven clutch like the  Zac Posen piece above, is just the perfect alternative to  its otherwise boring plain sister. The weave adds a whole lot of personality into the bag; it’s like a story in itself. Wearing a woven clutch or bag is a great way to spruce up a basic or classic outfit.

If you don’t have a woven clutch yet, better get one now. Here are a couple you might be interested in:
