Brian Atwood hit the fashion industry with his numerously elegant and repeatedly stylish shoe collections.

For 2012? Atwood will branch into a new fashion department for his spring 2012 collection: handbags. Atwood has produced a limited collection of 4 clutch styles, priced $1,050 to $1,850. According to WWD, Atwood intends to expand the handbag collection even further by adding larger silhouettes to his Fall 2012 collection.

For its limited debut, the bags will be sold exclusively through Gilt Group.

Brian Atwood also successfully launched a more affordable collection of shoes, labeled “B by Brian Atwood,” in 2010. More handbags are scheduled to appear underneath this label, as well.
