Ungaro Red Studded Clutch

I am having a major Ungaro moment. First the bow/studded summer bag and now this fabulously studded fall clutch! I just got the photos from the Ungaro press office and am so excited about this oversized vision of snobbery I’m about to have a heart attack.  I’m picturing this with everything in my wardrobe but most of all with a simple LBD.  This is not a look for everyone but for a girl who grew up in the ’80s it’s total heaven!  The multi sized and shaded studs cover the clutch on both sides set off by the striking red leather– the round studs make it more feminine than its square counterpart– and the cool lock pulls it all together.  This will surely be a collector’s item as it’s the last collection by Esteban Cortezar (according to the last report, he is suing Ungaro and they have offered a settlement).  Sized at 30cm and priced at 900 euro (and 1400 euro for chain version) this is THE clutch for fall if you can get your hands on it!  Also in black and grey– I like the one sans chains.  Available at Ungaro.com this September.

  1. Clearly I’m missing something here, it reminds me of a switchboard for a telephone operator or a similar piece of circuitry.

  2. I am getting this, the red is amazing but would like to see the gray. How fabulous! thanks for sharing!

  3. I Like it for the retro throwback look

    i see what you mean but it looks very well made, the lock detail is very unique

    my $.02

  4. I love this! This would be the focus piece for any simple outfit. Red can work with so many colors too! I must say, the one with chains is a bit much in my opinion. Nonetheless, KICKASS.

  5. I don’t like this bag at all. It looks like there’s a phallic symbol or a mushroom in the center and what’s with all the studs and zippers. I’m sorry but this is a total Slob for me…

  6. I agree with Kay it looks like it has a phallic symbol on the buckle!! If they fixed that it would be better.
