Exotic skins and furs are all the rage these days but while butter soft lambskin or leather is totally fine by me, I have a few qualms about depleting endangered species just for their skins. Judith Leiber designers must have felt the same way as they are offering a zebra evening clutch. Now before you go picketing for the poor zebras and their naturally fashionable furs, this Judith Leiber clutch is actually made up of small, fine crystals of black, white and pale pink. And not only is this sparkling clutch a stunner, it's also cute! Shaped into a small, curled up zebra, this shining purse is the perfect mix between glamour and whimsy, and is the perfect size - not too big or pretentious, but able to comfortably fit a compact, money, ID cards and touch-up essentials with room to spare. At $5000 for the zebra clutch (and a little more for other animal versions), these pretty purses aren't for every occasion, but will garner 'oohs', 'aahs', and looks of envy every time you bring it out to help you dazzle the crowd!

During the winter, it's tempting to carry a B-I-G tote bag--you know, one that can hold a scarf and gloves and other paraphernalia. But in a pinch a girl can get by with just a lipstick, a credit card, and a cell phone, right? So if you're tired of lugging around a big ol' heavy bag loaded down with stuff, maybe it's time to give your shoulders a break and lighten up. After all, the average woman's handbag tips the scales at about five pounds! Good thing it's easy to be healthier and chic at the same time. Whether you like logos or leather, or shimmery silk or boldly colored snakeskin, there's a vintage clutch out there to fit your style. Just click the slideshow to see the collection!
