I think I seriously need some help. I’ve been trying to ID the bag Halle Berry toted to the beach last Memorial Day (May 30) and my efforts have lead me to dead end results.
Here are pictures of Halle with the mystery bag I am talking about:

I am taking a wild guess that it’s a Fendi, only because the embossed detailing at the top of the bag makes it look like so. Other than that, I am totally clueless.
The bag is beautiful, that much I can say. The woven detailing at the center combined with the embossed feature makes it a unique looking piece. If you can ID the bag for me, it would be a very big help.
My effort to find a look-alike for less gave me nothing as well. But these fresh woven pieces from Zappos and Overstock are just as beautiful:

Top: Steve Madden BHypno Large Tote, US$109; Maxx New York Allie Beach Tote, US$57
Bottom: Rampage Verona Drawstring Bag, US$65; DKNY Woven Large Shopper, US$429
Update on Halle’s Bucket Bag:
Ok, so after some further research I was able to ID the bag. It’s the Cleobella Kaya Bucket Bag. Retail price is US$528 and it will be available at Shopbop.com this coming June 30th!

Here’s a picture of Jenna Jameson with a Zac Posen Woven Flap Clutch in her hand. She sure is one hot momma. Too bad she and Jim broke up. They made a cute couple. I always thought they would last.

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:
