The Basement of the Bargains

Sometimes a purse needs more than anything else to be fun. Take this charming clutch by Kate Spade.

Made of wicker trimmed with bright yellow leather and 14k gold hardware, this purse makes me smile when I look at it.

Of course, a purse does need to carry something, and this one is guaranteed to hold at least a cell phone, a small wallet and a lipstick. And hey, what more does a girl need most of the time? Oh, that’s right: that smile we were talking about.

Originally priced at $225.00, Nordstrom has marked it down to just $149.90…and that’s another great reason to smile.
