Clare Vivier For Wren Spring 2012

Two of Los Angeles's favorite style mavens — Melissa Coker of Wren and Clare Vivier — have teamed up to create the perfect Summer-ready tote, now available online. Priced at $350, the fully reversible shopper flaunts the best of both brands' worlds: one side comes in supple, vegetable-tanned leather (à la Vivier's signature clutches and bags), while the other features the cool celestial print showcased in Wren's Spring 2012 collection. In two rich leather hues — cognac and emerald — it's just the thing to capture a little breezy West Coast charm.

Click through to see — and shop — pics from the limited edition collaboration now, as modeled by actress Allison Miller and photographed by Closet Visit's Jeana Sohn.
