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.

I love it!
Gorgeous bag! Fit for a (young) queen indeed. I don't see Queen Elizabeth in this. A bit too stylish?
This clutch is beautiful inside and out. I love the lilac shade.
I LOVE THIS!!
What a clever small clutch. And functional. Maybe I´d want mine in black.
OH LA LA!!!
Oh so pretty.
Love it! Are there any other colors?
(meanwhile at my house, I practically throw forks across the table at people).....
That's funny. I am still laughing.
LOL
And she really does, too. I've eaten at her house often, one must grab their fork quickly as it flies across the table :)
divine! really beautiful, i love!
I can see the Queen rocking this bag. Us too! We can all be fabulous together!
Love it
Cute bag. Lovely color. Nice shape, but a little to high.
Love it!! Have seen metallics on their website - www.nottinghilldesign.com but not the lavender - pretty!
So pretty!!!
I actually think Queen Elizabeth is very stylish for someone of her age, shape and position. I mean, she's 80-something, and would you really want to see her in Balmain or Balenciaga? I think she generally carries clutches at state dinners and evening events and handbags during the day.
Gorgeous bag. The color is marvelous!!
This is the most beautiful interior for a clutch that I've ever seen!
