obsession #10202013: the stained glass clutch

obsession name: Graphic Stained Glass Print De Manta Clutch

why the obsession:

I’ve been obsessing with clutches recently, for day and night. Sometimes you just want to bring the essentials and nothing else. When I bring a clutch, it’s a lot less fuss going out, whether it is running errands or meeting friends. It’s also easier to switch out the three or four things in it to another clutch. It also helps me get rid of just collecting/storing random purse items over time. Of course, I don’t think I have a more favorite clutch designer out there right now other than Alexander McQueen. I’ve obsessed about the skull box clutches before in the past, but when I saw this Graphic Stained Glass Print De Manta Clutch – how can you not obsess?

I’m obsessed for several reasons. First, how beautiful is that stained glass print? It makes it beautiful and edgy without being too girly. It’s carrying a little piece of beautiful cathedral art in the palm of your hand. I also love the clutch’s unconventional shape, with the folded in corners and the dip in the middle. The print also maintains its symmetry even with its folded corners. I also love how it comes a variety of materials and prints, so if you don’t like this particular print you have other choices to pick from. It’s also not too small, not too big in my opinion. I’m not sure about the durability of the fabric, but compared to other Alexander McQueen clutches, it is on the more affordable side of things. Love it!
