Snob Essentials

The “Tina” Clutch by Adriana Castro

The lovely Adriana Castro bestowed an incredible honor on me– she named the hottest bag from her Spring 2010 line after me!  That has got to be the highest honor for a bag snob!  Anyone who has met or shopped with me knows my tendency to shout “that is so ‘Tina’, I must have it!”. Apparently Adriana took note the last time I visited her showroom in NYC because she designed a clutch that is not only totally ‘Tina’, it’s named the “Tina” Clutch!  I love the pleated and full shape, it holds everything yet is easy to clutch due to the flat clasp. (Jump to see interior).  The best part is you can custom the “Tina” (yes, I am going to use the name over and over, I am that vain!) clutch depending on your taste. You can choose any skin (crocodile, lizard, python, ostrich leg) with any trim and in any color!  The “Tina” clutch may be special ordered directly from Adriana Castro(Adriana tells me the boutiques have loved them!). To place an order, e-mail sales@adrianacastroonline.com or order by phone 1.866.460.4484.
 

The dimensions: 9.5″W x 5.5″H x 2″D (you can customize the size, too! make it larger or smaller, depending on your needs– prices will adjust for size accordingly).  Crocodile: $1,115 — You will be hard pressed find another crocodile clutch for this price and quality!

Lizard: $1,015 — I love the ring lizard but think I will go for a crocodile version.  Heck, it’s named after me, shouldn’t I get ALL colors!?!?  Python: $895 — Adriana uses high quality python skin that is supple and lush.  Ostrich Leg: $700 — Hello! This is a no brainer, ostrich leg is as sturdy as they come and the price is crazy!!!

  1. Love the clutch! Congratulations Tina. So hard to choose…I want to order it in all skins. What should a snob do?

  2. Having a bag named after you is like being asked to be a godparent, lol

    you need all of them!

    But seriously what is your fave color and skin combo?

  3. Tina, Well Done!!!! Love the clutch.

    Will be putting in my order-I too will go for the croc–They are all FABULOUS!! =)

    Mazel!!

    XOXO

  4. What a bright and cheery looking bag! I’d love a white croc trimmed in blue. Don’t see white croc on there tho

  5. Just wanted to say thanks to all snobs that have commented on this clutch. This clutch is really special 😉 Please know that there are endless possibilities; you can choose the skin, the color, combine skins etc…even if you don’t see the color here, we can make it for you!

    If you want suggestions, you can always e-mail me directly adriana@adrianacastroonline.com. XOXO

  6. If I really had to pick just one, it would be the croc. I like the feel and texture a lot more than the other skins. Congrats!

  7. Okay, made my decision.

    Going to start with a bone colored crocodile with a bone colored lizard trim. I’m keeping the colors monochromatic and will allow the different skins to contrast.

    Will also take a royal blue crocodile with royal blue lizard. Very excited!

  8. Tinnaaa (really excited high pitch squeeellll!!)

  9. These look just divine…however did you decide on what colour to go with, I love the brights but also love the classic colours you’ve chosen T…do post pics of your bagswhen you get them, so excited for you!!!!

    P.S. Ages ago you did a post on a gorgeous gray stingray belt by Emanuel Ungaro called Ceinture Belt….it was sky high in price on net-a-porter but I’ve just seen it on Theoutnet.com with 70% off so its now £299GBP instead of £998 only small sizes left….did you get it first time round?! x

  10. Paz

    you must show Katherine, too!

    I’m now considering metallic white and the metallic black (last one in 3rd row)… so many choices! LOL

    I’m going for crocodile of course 😉 Make sure you email Adriana! xoxo

  11. I love this clutch! One problem, which skin to choose! I love that you can make it your own by choosing the trim and skin, but at the same time own an Adriana Castro clutch. This would be great for going out dancing 🙂
