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.

Though not exactly a woven item, the crochet or hand knitted bag uses a concept similar to that of woven bags – slightly different in technique (interlocking vs. interweaving), but almost the same as both are hand-crafted.

So basically, if you are into woven bags, crochet handbags might interest you as well.

One of the most well celebrated crochet bags is the Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Hand Knitted Bag. A lot of celebrities have been seen toting this bag and I am not surprised as to why.

The detailing on the bag is quite unique and possibly laborious to do. I can only imagine the artisan hand-crafting this bag, it must have taken her a lot of time and a definite love of the art to come up with such a piece. To give you an idea of who’s wearing the bag, see below:

It is quite unfortunate that Gerard Darel bags are not available online for you to buy. Perhaps if you do a deeper search, you might find one or two sites selling the bag, maybe in new or pre-owned condition. To give you an idea, a brand new Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Hand Knitted Bag will cost you about US$549.

If you don’t want to spend too much for a crochet bag, you can always opt to shop the look by purchasing The Sak Indio Crochet Large Tote at Zappos.com.

Though not as detailed as the Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Bag, The Sak Indio Crochet Large Tote is more versatile to use. With less embellishments, it looks classic, allowing you more opportunities to use the bag with different outfits. As it is quite large, you can also use this bag as an overnighter.
