When I think of Halston, I typically think of simple shapes and solid colors — especially when it comes to dresses by this designer. The name Halston is synonymous with glamorous. Halston was the father of American fashion and was literally a household name during the 1970s. And even though the man behind the label died nearly two decades ago, his legacy is still going strong.

Halston handbags are rarely mentioned over at TBF, but I feel like this designer is worth a second look. Take, for example, the Halston Maxine Medium Clutch. It is simple in shape and design, but oh so elegant at the same time. Now I’m not normally a fan of zebra stripes, but for some reason they just look awesome on this bag. I also love all the little details, like the pony hair and chain strap, that give this clutch a real luxurious feel. This clutch would look awesome paired with a simple black dress! The only downside is the price. The Halston Maxine Medium Clutch retails for just under $2,000 (same as the Halston dress the model is wearing). It measures 13″ x 14″. Find it at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*!
