Microblogging report. Click to follow.

ClutchFreak: When it comes to this Tweet, Jenny Bird’s the word. Inaugural handbag collection hits shelves. Chanelesque. Classed-up deco. Coco would love. — about 1 hour ago.

ClutchFreak: Canuck designer from line of accomplished seamstresses figured out classic bag patterns. And sew on. Makes hardware cast from jewelry (like earrings from the ’50s). — about 45 minutes ago.

ClutchFreak: Monumental and architectural. Not obnoxiously designy but accessibly sophisticated. Note to self: Find man with qualities of pocketbook. Why is that so hard? — about 35 minutes ago.

ClutchFreak: Square clutch with cable chain or purple ostrich? Got both. Aggro shoppers closing in. — about 20 minutes ago.

ClutchFreak: Make out like bandit! Retreat! Feel like I’m being followed in real time. — about 1 minute ago.
