Remember the article we did on Sophia Bush and her Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Chain Link Hobo Bag (click here to read article)?

Well, it turns out that the Stephanie Chain Link Hobo has a cute little sister – the Stephanie Bracelet Clutch.

Here’s a product shot of the this tiny purse:

Just like the Stephanie Chain Link Hobo, the Stephanie Bracelet Clutch is made of metallic leather woven in a chain link manner. It also comes with a detachable handle so you can wear it like a wristlet.

Rashida Jones was spotted wearing the Stephanie Bracelet Clutch months ago. Check out this picture:

If you want the Stephanie Bracelet Clutch, you can buy the black one at Shopbop.com. It may cost you a little more than the usual (priced at US$395) but it is an interesting piece to carry and will surely garner you some compliments from friends.

Reese Witherspoon is Lanvin Happy

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon with then boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and thought how interesting it was to see a multicolored woven bag released seasons ago. Such a piece would have been a perfect accessory this spring.

I guess this just shows how trends come and go, and then come back again. The one on Reese is a Lanvin Happy Woven Bag by the way.

I found another woven Lanvin while doing my search – the Lanvin Happy Satin Woven Purse. Here’s a look:

I’m sure these two Lanvin purses cost a fortune. In fact, the satin purse alone went for over US$2000++ when it was released.

Now if you want something similar but definitey less costly, why not go for a brand like Harveys Seatbelt Bag instead? I found these cute options:
