(Though not exactly woven, allow us to consider the crochet bag as an ‘honorary member’ of the woven category for the simple reason that it offers a similar appeal as native woven bags do, especially when the material used is of organic origin. The similarities also extend to the fact that both are  meticulously hand-crafted.)

Jessica Alba sports a lot of handbags, but one that has caught our attention is this crochet bag which she toted around for a while.

Apart from the headbands, the one other constant companion Jessica has in these photos is this bag. We found out that this is a Ferragamo Gancio Crochet Bag. The bag looks exquisite, and it is clear to see she loves using it to complete her look

Speaking of the look, I’m guessing she’s either channeling ‘gypsy’ or ‘summer in the country’. Either way, she looks good with her colorful headbands and hoop earrings.

If you want Jessica’s bag but can’t afford it (priced at US$1500++), then I suggest you grab any of these equally appealing alternatives:

Cappelli Hand Crochet Toyo Bag w/ Shells, US$34

Flora Bella Santorini, US$120

Here’s the latest tidbit on the most sought after celebrity couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The two were seen heading into Alto, an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side of New York, last January 7, 2010.

Notice how Brad holds Angie’s elbow as he leads her into the restaurant? How sweet! Brad obviously still likes taking his lady love out on dates. And the photos say it all; these two are still hot for each other and IN LOVE!

I have been a fan of Angelina since she came out in HACKERS. Her style has evolved as she matured. Nowadays, I see her wearing more classic, easy to wear pieces. Just like the knitted blue Loro Piana dress in the picture, paired with her favorite classic Ferragamo boots. The same goes for her taste in purses, as clearly seen by the classic black framed clutch she used to complete her outfit.

As we know, a black clutch always goes a long way. It is a versatile and classic piece that every girl should have in her closet.

To get Angelina’s look, you can opt for these clutches from Rafe New York and Helen Kaminski. Both are exquisite, hand-made creations.

Rafe New York Zoe Flap Clutch

This Rafe New York Zoe Flap Clutch features a hand woven detail that gives the bag texture. Combine this detail with the tasseled zipper puller, wearing this clutch will surely give you personality.

Helen Kaminski Cassiopeia Clutch

The Helen Kaminski Cassiopeia Clutch is a more classic piece that is made of woven raffia. Simple and elegant, this clutch will take you from a casual date to a long gown event.
