Sometimes, the very best factor about fashion week is the invitations.  It’s enjoyable to get heaps of mail! It is also fun to rip open envelopes and see pretty stationery and fill your calendar with exciting shows.  And lately, offered the influx of envelope shaped clutches issuing from stores as diverse as Celine and American Apparel, invitations are also a fantastic reason to invest in an otherwise entirely unpractical slice of leather.  Clare Vivier produced a single of the prettiest we’ve observed, in a vintage floral leather that’s so rare she only made 90, for Of A Type, and they sold out in less than a week.  So we’ve rounded up a handful of other people you may well like, after the jump.
