California Ease Meets Parisian Polish

Clare Vivier started the label in 2008 by asking what stylish working women wanted from a handbag. Clare V. grew from that practical idea, pairing laid-back Los Angeles style with a French point of view. The result is functional, polished, and finished with a little wit.

Peter Kate's edit includes signature shapes for different days. A Midi Sac or Petit Moyen makes a smart Clare V crossbody for a phone, card case, keys, and sunglasses. The larger Moyen Messenger keeps the hands-free profile while giving daily essentials more breathing room.

Choose the Shape Around Your Outfit

A Clare V tote works harder on office days, travel days, and busy weekends. Roomier carryalls suit a notebook, tablet, light knit, and the extras that collect along the way. Pair one with MOTHER denim and a Veronica Beard blazer, or use it to relax a tailored L'AGENCE look.

Curved shoulder styles such as the Lune add structure without feeling formal. Woven leather, checker patterns, patent finishes, and bold color make Clare V handbags especially good with simple outfits. Black pants and a white shirt feel sharper, while a floral Doen dress gains a modern edge.

Change the Mood With Straps & Charms

A Clare V strap in resin, leather, chain, or webbing can take the same handbag from sporty to polished. Check the attachment points and listed length, especially when switching between a crossbody drop and a shorter shoulder carry.

A Clare V bag charm adds color and personality on a smaller scale. Try one on a neutral handbag, or choose a sculptural fob that acts like jewelry. Browse Peter Kate's charms and straps with crossbody handbags and totes and satchels to create a combination that feels personal.

Many styles accept removable straps, but compatibility depends on the handbag's tabs, hardware, and strap length. Review the product details before pairing a new strap.
