Miu Miu Clutch





Though I don't usually fancy clutches that are large enough to double as a dog carrier, I had to overlook this detail when it came to the Miu Miu tie dye clutch. The clutch is seriously about a foot high, but its plum color, pleats, and tie dye detail won my heart and banished any negative feelings about it. I kept imagining all the multiple uses for it: a handy face cover for when I want avoid someone, a fancy carryall for my lunch and mid-day snacks, or simply an excuse to dress up in order not to be out-done by my extremely good looking bag. I knew it had to be mine but, alas, its $950 tag forced me to stay far far away. However, while recently perusing through one of my favorite online shopping haunts Topshop, I came across a suitable substitute. Though the clutch is not a literal translation of the Miu Miu bag (especially in size), its tie-dye suede and pleats satisfy me non-the-less. Plus, it retails for about $70.
