Today is Christian Louboutin day! And if you think we love exotic, how do you think we feel about a Christian Louboutin exotic!! OK, so we have not been so kind and actually pretty critical of his bags but you cannot go wrong with a simple classic alligator clutch with his signature red leather lining!! To me, the fabulousness of this clutch falls in line with that of the shoe collection. Am I just loving it because it is alligator and I am on a Louboutin high? Yes, but I don't see any reason to discount the love based on those factors. It is a small (ok, mini) clutch, so it is traditional, but if you regularly attend formal affairs, you will need nothing else but this. That is the beauty of owning exotic, people expect you to keep coming out with it rather than snub you as a one trick pony. And they better because it does not come cheap, this baby is $4190 for not a lot of alligator. But it is less than his Very Prive in croc, which are $4990, and remember, shoes eventually wear out, bags, if well taken care of, do not. At Net a Porter.
Make sure to come back for the interview with Monsieur Louboutin. The story will post later today.
I love it...it looks so beautiful and elegant. Nonetheless, I think USD 4910 is quite a lot for such a small thing, but it's still tempting. I'm actually looking for a beautiful clutch and this is by far the most simple yet sophisticated one I've seen.
By the way...I've been reading you for months but this is the first time I'm posting. Bag Snobs - you're doing a wonderful, wonderful job. I'm 24 and I can truly say you contributed to my "bag-education" :) Thanks ;)
Outrageously expensive but oh so delish!
The bow is interesting, but still not enough to make this a stand-out piece. Very blah.
