Spotlight on Judith Leiber: Occasional Handbags for the Red Carpet
If you have ever watched a televised awards show or seen a photograph of your favourite actress on the red carpet, whether you realize it or not, chances are you have seen a Judith Leiber occasional handbag. Judith Leiber is the occasional bag broker to the stars, and her designs cover everything ranging from the sophisticated to the downright wacky.
Leiber's classic Jelly Bean miniaudiere, arguably her most popular style to date, is a classic slide-lock box clutch that boasts a metallic lambskin lining, is thoroughly hand-beaded in Austrian crystals, and is available in fifteen stunning shades. This simple yet sophisticated style is a consistent favourite amongst the red carpet set, and it has been spotted being carried by the likes of Sophia Vergara at the Emmy Awards and Sandra Bullock at the Oscars.
With her more intricate designs, Leiber really pulls-out all the stops. She channels the sleek elegance of the Art Deco period with her Geisha and 30 Rock Perfect Rectangle miniaudieres (named after the famous building in New York City), brings us beautiful hand-crafted crystal poodles and dachshunds, and for the truly adventurous, even has a clutch bag crafted in the likeness of an Asparagus Hollandaise.
As you might expect with a celebrity favourite, a Judith Leiber clutch does not come cheap. Potential customers can expect to pay $1995.00 for one of the basic Jelly Bean miniaudieres, with some of her more intricate designs starting at $3495.00.
