This beauty is a great replacement for the usual evening clutch. Since it’s a little bigger, now you can carry your wallet, rather than shoving credit cards inside your purse, praying nothing slips out and gets lost. An added bonus? This has a shoulder strap so your hands are free to hold not only a drink, but a plate of hors d vours.

The drawstring overnight bag serves two important purposes. First, it allows you to arrive at your overnight destination in style. The second purpose is to keep you from over packing. This bag is the perfect size for a night or two. Since it's so gorgeous, and you will want to carry it yourself, this forces you to pack only what you can carry. Thus, the over pack is no longer an issue.
