Here's a trend we're loving these days: embellished purses. It doesn't matter if they're encrusted with crystals, dripping with fringe, or dotted with shells, bold bags add pizazz and drama to just about any outfit. We love pairing a wildly embellished bag with jeans and a tee when we're running errands to make us feel more put together. Plus, they're a natural fit to tote when you're heading to galas or upcoming holiday parties.

Below you'll find some of our favorite glitzy, sparkling, or otherwise fantastical purses that'll make a statement for whatever you have planned this season and the next.

Make a statement with this bejeweled bag ($27) that features an inner silk purse surrounded by a rectangular crystal cage. It's a delicate piece that will turn heads whenever you wear it. Consider it less of a clutch and more of a piece of jewelry that can conveniently hold your phone.

Made from a mass of recycled acrylic beads, this beautiful bag ($371) will deliver a little bit of fairytale magic to every outfit.

Not all embellished bags are of the sparkling variety. Take this beachy tote ($270), for example. Made from linen, its embellishments come in the form of shiny little shells that line the border and the bottom. With every wear you'll feel like you're walking along the boardwalk (even if it's more like a loud city street).

We love an envelope clutch for a professional meeting or lunch with the crew. Patterned with beautiful embroidery, beads, and sequins, this clutch ($37) is somehow full of embellishments but not over the top. It's a statement piece that'll accentuate your style — and not overpower your look.
