What could make your Bentley fancier than it already is? How about a diamond and white gold gear shift?

Nanette Lepore teamed up with Keds to put together a line of stylish, casual shoes and sandals for summer.

From designer Devi Kroell, you can get a clutch that is decidedly different from any you’ll find elsewhere. The Crystal Wooden Clutch is made in Italy of smooth, high-gloss wood and measures just 5 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. Each clutch snaps closed at the top with a jeweled clasp, which matches the Swarovski crystals embedded in the body of the clutch. The arrangement of the crystals varies and the three finishes are Ebony, Nut and Ebony-Hamptons Edition (pictured). Price: $1390.
Louis Vuitton might have the most expensive, and certainly the most original-looking, patchwork bag of the season, but that doesn’t make patchwork itself an original idea this spring. Marc Jacobs is using a lot of patchwork, albeit in a more monochromatic way than LV.

All of the hardware, including the chain strap and front lock closure, is gold-tone. The bag measures 10.25″x 9″x 1.5″. Price: $1,475.
