While in the heat of the moment Carrie Bradshaw may not have been impressed by the Judith Leiber Swan Clutch that Big gave her, I think we can all agree that she most definitely lost it. Like, could there be a better gift? Honestly, that bag was way better than an "I love you."
There is no more whimsical or luxurious a world than that of Judith Leiber's minaudières. It take 20 artisans to create a single clutch, which sparkles with anywhere between 7,000 and 13,000 crystals! To celebrate the beloved accessories maison, Moda Operandi is presenting the Judith Leiber Archival Collection - a capsule of 45 iconic minaudières reissued from the brand's epic archives. Lauren Santo Domingo herself is behind the edit of pieces selected, and 10% of proceeds will be donated to the Leiber Foundation, which supports global arts education and programming.
Sure the bags cost a pretty penny, but let us remember the wise words of the aforementioned fictional fashionista, "I like my money where I can see it - hanging in my closet."
