What happens when you combine two of the years’ most popular trends? In one instance, you get the jeweled zebra patterned clutch seen on actress Amanda Seyfried at the premier for recent film Dear John. Seyfried, known for her role in Mean Girls and television’s Big Love, is one of several celebrities seen recently with such a jeweled clutch. This particular design by Judith Leiber goes a step further than other jeweled clutches we’ve seen by arranging small black and white crystals in a zebra skin pattern. While sometimes combining two trends doesn’t always work, it does on this particular clutch.

The clutch Seyfried’s carrying comes with a hefty price tag of $3000, probably due to the materials used and the precision needed to add every miniscule crystal to the body of the clutch. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a clutch or handbag that combines these properties, one can be found within your price range. At Best Handbag Wholesale, for example, similar zebra print wallets can be used like a clutch. This particular clutch under the link has a zebra pattern with an overall sheen to give it, from up close and far away, a shimmering appearance, although no crystals were used in the making.

If you simply have to have crystals and zebra print together on the same handbag or clutch, many more of these options are sold at Best Handbag Wholesale. On a smaller scale, many zebra print wallets are embellished with rhinestones, such as that seen under the link, and can be used as a clutch, particularly the flat wallets. Animal print with rhinestones isn’t exclusive to wallets at BHW, however. Many handbags also use this combination, such as this zebra print hobo handbag with an embellished western-style closure. The western-style closure includes a belt buckle and a strap covered in clear rhinestones and metal studs.

The star of such films as Revolutionary Road, The Reader, and, of course, Titanic was seen recently at a awards ceremony with a jeweled clutch. While clutches appear to be more acceptable to bring to any sort of awards show or ceremony, one of the more recent styles has been a jeweled clutch. Often, this means the small bag is covered by a variety of stones, be it real or rhinestones. While some purses are covered entirely in these stones, others have accents, such as this clutch seen on Kate Winslet in black with her initials in gemstones. Although initial or personalized monogram purses generally aren’t seen on the public, such rhinestone or gemstones styles are.

What are some options for getting this jeweled look? At Best Handbag Wholesale, for example, a clutch-like wallet comes in this particular style. While this particular powder blue wallet with rhinestones is lighter in color than Winslet’s clutch, it shows that you don’t always need to combine clear rhinestones with a darker color. Although black, grey, and red are options, so are light blue and sandstone. Additionally, all clutch wallets have a combination of rhinestones, including large stones and smaller rounded stones on one side.

Additionally, rhinestones decorate many of the western-inspired handbags sold by BHW. This particular western handbag uses the same type of studs as seen on the clutch wallets along the edges and the handle. Western style has been “in” somewhat for the past year, with pony or cow hair and fringe spotted on many celebrity handbags, so, why not combine this western trend with the jeweled style seen, as well? After all, one option for western style, including both handbags and jewelry, has been to add a bit of bling to your western wear.
