Jimmy Choo Kaaren Clutch

| 7 Comments

This reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer's character in Scarface with her heroin chic appeal (it was cocaine actually which makes it so much more 80's). This clutch would be perfect with everything she wore in that movie - the glistening metallic suede, gold michellepfeiffer.jpghardware, even a wrist strap so she can properly seduce men on the dance floor. First you get the money, then you get the power and THEN you get the bags!! But you certainly don't need to resort to drug dealing for this bag, it is only $995 (petty theft maybe but nothing major like organized crime). Seeing that this bag is able to bridge the gap between the 70's, 80's and today (this bag's personality is too clear and collected to be 90's), it is a safe bet that it will let you get along for quite a few years more with it. And who says this has to be strictly an evening affair? I would love to run around during the day with my girlfriends being carefree and chic without my giant tote with laptop weighing it down like a ton of bricks. I wish I had used clutches more before I had kids and a job, because now I feel like it is such a luxury when I do get to use a cute little feather light clutch (even giant clutches are light to me, anything less than 10 pounds is considered light). But I guess it just makes me love it and appreciate it so much more when I get a chance to use them. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $995. Free shipping with code HOLIDAY7.

  • i've forgotten what she used to look like. wow, love the hair.
    and yes, can totally see her using the clutch
    lol

  • Kelly, this post was absolutely hilarious - one of the most amusing I can remember on this site in a little while. Nice to see you keeping the business of bags light-hearted and fun from time to time.

  • Kelly, this is funny! and very cute bag I should add.

  • That's not what heroin chic was. I think you mean "80s gangster moll." Heroin chic was the ultra-thin models with deathly pale faces, stringy hair, and big dark circles under their eyes... in other words, they looked like junkies.

  • Jimmy Choo can really do no wrong in my book!

  • I really like it, fabulous and simple. and Elvira was my favorite character in that movie (except the drug use)

  • FYI-This is on sale at saks.com for $696.50 AND rush shipping is free on every order with the code RUSHNOW!
