Judith Leiber Couture for Women

There are many handbag designers to choose from for a day bag, but when it comes to evening, there is only one: Judith Leiber. Under the creative direction of Jana Matheson, the label's bejeweled creations are the final word in accessorizing for after dark. Judith Leiber has been making handbags since 1963 and has firmly cemented herself as the go-to designer for red-carpet and black-tie events. People often equate art with fashion, but a Leiber clutch truly deserves a place on the mantle, or, at the very least, on the best shelf in your closet. Nothing complements a little black dress like having the sparkliest handbag in the room.
