Want It: Victoria Beckham’s Ultra-Modern Pouches

by Megan Gustashaw

As 2014 quickly approaches we’re beginning to dream of streamlining our wardrobes and focusing on truly special pieces that’ll turn heads and feel modern forever. On our wish list: Victoria Beckham’s exotic skin clutches, which would go with anything from wintery layers to easy vacation looks.

VB’s simple, fold-over bags come in two perfect sizes and a range of color ways, three of which (featured here) are exclusive to her website and new this month. While the black lizard skin and tan python are begging for a bold color lipstick, jacket or dress, the tangerine option brings a level of drama all its own; use this eye-catching piece to bring life to a printed piece or snoozy neutral basics. The gold zipper detail adds a flash of interest and a casual appeal that we’re all about right now.

Availability: Victoria Beckham Small Zip Pouch in Tangerine Lizard Skin, Black Lizard Skin and Powder Python-Skin, ($750 each).

Looking for something under $200? We love Los Angeles designer Clare Vivier’s fold-over clutches, which come in a range of bold hues including luxe, Beckham-worthy black.
