Stella(r) Clutch

June 3rd, 2008

Due to a slew of recent back problems, I’ve decided that I need to be carrying a smaller purse. Though it pains me to add my beloved Morning After Bag to my graveyard of other purses, I realize that this change has become a necessity. So, while perusing the Neiman Marcus sale with a long face today, I was immediately cheered up when I saw this adorable Big Satin Clutch. Stella McCartney has long been a favorite designer of mine, based on her animal-friendly ethics and her beautifully crafted pieces, and this clutch is no exception. The circular medallion zippers add such a stylish edge, but still manage to blend in seamlessly, making this a perfect everyday bag.  Though it’s now on sale from $695 to $348, it’s not exactly pocket change, but at least it will keep all of mine in order!

    That is a genius solution! I usually carry very large and heavy purses around (always need to have a book by me!), but I would happily sacrifice my larger bags for that absolutely gorgeous stella clutch. Well spotted!

    Fantastic find – looks lovely. I do love how Stella cuts the cloth although not a big fan of hers per se.
    I liek her animal ethics but wish she’d make more affordable garments & accessories to convert people.
    you’ve got a bargain!
    PS thought you made the right choice ref shoes for MTV, the RLs are lovely and more sexy than the fierce glad versions everyone else was wearing!

    Love this bag – the two zips..!
    Good luck with downsizing what you carry, I carry far too much around with me and wish I could get my act together and downsize to smaller bags!

    I’m sad you won’t be carrying your morning after bag, I love that one, but I def like to carry something smaller and this is really cute!

    Very lovely clutch. I like Stella McCartney (our names purely coincidental) and the only things I have from her are a water bottle and a visor. Hardly mentionable. But as much as i like clutches, i am never able to squeeze everything i want to bring out!
