Absolutely LOVE this clutch!! It has the greatest vintage feel but it is completely updated and modern. Well, the spikes help. The walnut wood handles are super ’70s, I remember my mom had a bag with wooden handles, but it was ruined by the fact that the rest was crocheted. Ya, you know the bag I’m talking about (Ferragamo tried to revive it, unsuccessfully, a few years ago). The handles are of the most hated aspects of clutches – the method of holding it. I know handles on a clutch are not new, but they just make this clutch that much more spectacular! The rounded body also alleviates the maddening decision process of what you must leave out when using a clutch. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,450.
I saw this clutch on another site, and I fell in love, too. I had one similar to this as a little girl in the 80s except that the handle was plastic. Of course, this is a lot more luxurious. Too bad that I can’t swing the price. If only money were no object!
What a great update to a wooden handled bag. It’s the perfect size for a casual evening bag.
Kelly, it’s funny that you love this bag because I ordered it from Saks. I love everything about it and think it will be my go to clutch this summer for my Greece trip. I usually agree more with Tina’s picks but am beginning to think that you and I are also in sync for spring…
Yes, it’s a cute shape but J Crew did almost the exact shape/proportion a couple of years ago – with a more interesting pattern I might add.
I love J. Crew, they really have their A game on these days. Have you seen their accessories for Spring? Amazing!
Love, Kelly
