If it makes you smile, it's my bag," says designer Kathrine Baumann. Baumann certainly has reason to smile. Her evening bags have perched on the arms of stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields and Angela Bassett.

If you haven't seen a Kathrine Baumann bag yet, you will. The minaudieres (jeweled evening bags) are unforgettable. Baumann has cleverly designed the tiny purses in such whimsical shapes as Coca-Cola bottles, Campbell's Soup cans and Chinese take-out carriers with gold fortune cookie pillboxes. The purses also come in classic styles, as well as classifications such as Sports, Disney, Zoological, Fruit, Love and Romance.
