This clutch was designed for Queen Elizabeth II of England by London based designer Notting Hill, which is why this is known as "The Queen's Clutch". I can see her with this very classic frame but doesn't she always carry a little bag with a short top handle strap? I'm sure the strap was put in for her if she wanted it. Did you see that special on Oprah where they went behind the scenes preparing for a dinner at Buckingham Palace? They measured all the settings on the table and the chairs with sticks to make sure they were properly spaced apart (meanwhile at my house, I practically throw forks across the table at people). The Queen gets a specially prepared meal that is extra good. Why don't they make every meal extra special and good? I don't care though, I just want to be invited! The Queen's clutch is in black metallic but this lilac python is fresh and girly and pretty. The best part about this clutch though is not the fact that the Queen has it, cuz honestly, I don't exactly want to model my style after hers, I am in love with the interior coin holder! How ingenious, I now require all my clutches to have this super nifty center compartment. The clasp is topped off with Swarovski crystals for formal affairs but in lilac, you can definitely use this during the day. At LuxCouture for $1700.
Do you have $6,380 to blow? That's how much the Wishbone shopper from Alexander McQueen will set you back. And no, there is no crocodile trim but you can tell that a lot of labor was wasted on this fringed mess. I don't hate the bag, just parts of it. Let's be sweet and discuss what I love about it. I love the wishbone rivets, the basket weave leather, and the whip stitched top edge-- it all looks so luxurious and well made. But the awful shaggy fringe destroys any chance of this bag ever seeing the light of day on my arms. This sucker is also huge at 52cm/20" wide. I do like McQueen's attitude of let them eat cake. Why should he care if the world is in a global wide recession? His job is to design and stir our senses; figuring out how to pay for it is our problem.

I love Givenchy but even if you are a bank robber or if you just found a bag of money, this would still be a bad buy. This camera case encased in glass crystals is cute and kind of cool, it would be really fab if it were $200 (but as a camera case would still be steep). It is 5" x 8" which is too big for your average compact camera so this must be meant as a clutch of some sort, which only make the even more useless. The zipper goes all the way around the top and off the sides making it like a man bag, adding to the drawbacks. I am certain this was conceived during better economic times when success was measured by excess but now it's all about being savvy. If you found this at a thrift store for $10, you would be bragging to all your friends. "Showing off" is now all about how little you've spent to still be chic. Which is kind of exciting and challenging because it isn't really interesting just walking into the most expensive boutiques and throwing down a wad of cash to look good. If you bought this, you would almost be embarrassed to disclose the price, which is $3620, which I am still having a hard time digesting. At Barneys New York.
