Today Mischa Barton’s line of handbags went on sale exclusively at Asos.com. Yes, it’s true, Mischa has a handbag line, confirming yet another celebrity who is cashing in on fashion. We browsed the vintage-inspired line, which includes fourteen pieces ranging from clutches ($44) to hobos ($238) to totes ($325). And it’s … interesting. “I’m inspired by all sorts of things, but I think my real fashion icons are people like Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull. It’s the era I feel most comfortable with and the aesthetic that I like,” Barton told Asos magazine. The only aspect that really caught our attention (and not in the best way) is the buckle she incorporated onto every bag — a symmetrical, clover-esque, tarnished-gold embellishment that aims to be like Tory Burch’s mirrored T’s. Check out photos of the rest of the line after the jump. Would you buy one? —Sharon Clott
