that one is gorgeous!! i love it! although it looks like a pillow even more! i think thats what they were aiming for though

The more I see of that Fendi clutch the more I want it. Although I could never afford it. The size of that one seems reasonable. Its definitely a statement piece.

even with all the crazy patterns and stitching..

it must be the child in me or something

too much money though...

guys!! while searching on google I found this website in singapore that makes handbags in ostrich and croc, but the prices aren't on their site so I emailed them regarding a tote. when they answered they said that they also do custom orders so I immediately started to think about an oversized clutch....I asked how much would a custom order be for a flat envelope clutch in croc or ostrich, measurements 40x25cm, and she answered that a matte croc would be 750 singapore dollars which is around 550 USD. (the ostrich is 700 SGD)
that doesn't sound like a lot for a big croc clutch considering carlos falchi and zagliani clutches are past the 1k mark! and they're not even oversized. and this webpage has TONS of bright, gorge colors to choose from.

this is the webpage: www.fareastreptile.com

i'd totally use the Fendi was a pillow.... mmhhh, a smooth, white, leather pillow... would be SO GREAT as a carry-on when stuffed with a jacket.

Last week I was agonizing over this Fendi To You convertible bag that can be worn as a huge clutch in WHITE SNAKE skin, but I decided against as I hate the feeling of the snake skin, no matter how fashionable is. But it looked TDF!!
I have this MJ, but it is pretty small

^^ I really like the last clutch you posted. Its actually not as expensive as I thought.

Oh, just found this wonderful thread, I am in love with those clutches, I have around 20 i think, yet I haven't counted them for a while
I will just show you my baby:
Balenciaga Oval clutch in ink, from '06...

I started drooling over the Fendi Pergamina, but. On second thought, perhaps that 2 grand should be spent on something else!

 

[Party_Vixen]

^ I know I've been having dreams about that bag. Unfortunately I'm on a student budget so its a no go.

caroulemapoule I've never seen that version before. I love the colour.

Vixen: It is discontinued now. Was only sold in 2006... And thank you so much

Oversized Clutches

The latest designs hold everything you need...



By Kim Mitchell

The line on clutches was pretty much that they were only safe to use at night.

Minaudiere styles by Bottega Veneta and Judith Leiber showed up in hand of every fashionista on red carpets. Now bigger is better, as oversized clutches which first started appearing on runways last fall and on celebs like Mary Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss are making their way into the mainstream. Oversized clutches are a great way to bring sophistication and individuality to any outfit.

The great thing about the newer styles is they can hold everything you need with extra compartments. Some come with straps or can expand to a larger size, and you can find cheaper versions at vintage stores, retailers like H&M and Urban Outfitters, or on eBay.

Here are some oversized clutch options that work for day and night, no matter if you’re doing a casual weekend brunch or are glammed up for a black tie party.

Marc by Marc Jacobs shimmer oversized clutch has a hideaway handle (also in Kelly green), $298 at net-a-porter

Chloe Nancy large flat tote with lucite and gold handles, $1,395 at neimanmarcus.com

Urban Outfitters Large Croco-embossed clutch (also in khaki), $38

Steve Madden pleated patent leather clutch (also in melon and white), $115 at Nordstrom.com

Topshop oversized snake trim clutch, $48.50

Burlington vintage Bordeaux leather clutch, $26 at theurbancollection.com
