Check out the Ela for Club Monaco collaboration here »

From high fashion brands to artists, mass retailers just love a good designer collaboration. And while Target and H&M may be the ones that first come to mind, Club Monaco has quietly been doing their own collabo thing since 2012, when they brand launched its “Makers & Muse” series. Previously working with such designers as Mark McNairy and Jane Mayle, Toronto-based handbag line Ela has just joined the ranks.

Launched on Monday, the Club Monaco and Ela collaboration features three handbags designed exclusively by Canadian design duo Ela and Martin Aldorsson. The mini collection includes a reworked neutral color blocked version of their M.I.L.C.K (money/identification/lipstick/cell/keys) and Editor’s Pouch Star clutch as well as a black version of their Scandi Drawstring Stud bag.

Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to Spring 2013 accessories and this season we’re holding on to statement clutches in all shapes, sizes and patterns.

While those larger than life body bags were the ultimate standard only a few seasons ago, Spring 2013 is the time to edit what’s inside your bag and retain only the essentials (iPhone, lipstick, wallet and that’s about it).

The clutch purse was everywhere on the international runways, and its appeal ran the gamut from quirky (a candy button style turquoise number at Fendi) to 1990s-inspired (a plaid fold-over bag at Dries Van Noten) to the really old school (Céline’s take on the classic brown lunch bag, which was reinvented in bright red leather.)

gift ideas for women »

Somehow, shopping for the leading ladies in our lives often proves to be the hardest. The challenge for Christmas gift ideas is to be creative, on trend, and meaningful—not the easiest task, but a necessary one. If you’re shopping for your girlfriend, wife, sister or mother, it’s essential to make the gift matter and worth every penny spent.

For Christmas 2012, we’ve dreamt of all things lavish and luxe that can double as a satisfaction to a women’s fashion craving as well as functional piece in her every day life and they are anything but traditional. We know that diamonds have been declared a girl’s best friend, but this year we’re thinking outside of the little blue box and selecting gifts that show creativity. We’ve opted for lush fur pieces that will keep her warm all winter, geometric shaped cuffs that will reinvent the arm party, and even a onsesie that just begs to be taken to a ski resort. These are the pieces that will win a woman’s heart.
