Do any of you guys watch Dexter? I’m utterly obsessed with it. I can’t recap it because it’s not at all fashioned-related, but if I could, I would. Also, I would marry Dexter and I wouldn’t be nearly as annoying and self-righteous as that a-hole Rita. Ahem.

I also really love the aesthetic that they have for their advertising and promotional materials – a bit minimalist, a bit comic book, a bit blood-spattered macabre – and when I saw the Giuseppe Zanotti Red Sequin Clutch, I couldn’t help but be reminded of America’s favorite serial killer.

For the uninitiated, Dexter is a killer than only kills other killers, and his day job is as a blood spatter analyst at the Miami Metro police department. The red-on-white, scattered visual that this sequin clutch creates remind me a lot of the blood spatter pictures that you see throughout the the series, although I’m sure that that probably wasn’t the inspiration for this clutch.

It’s merely a coincidence, but it makes me like this clutch a lot more than I probably would otherwise. It would be the perfect thing to wear to a Dexter-themed party, were you to have hundreds of extra dollars sitting around to spend on your themed outfit. Buy through BlueFly for $712.

It's not the blood splatter look that I hate; it's the fact that this clutch has little shape to it, like a bunched up/rolled up handkerchief with an ugly frame.

No thanks.

EWwwwwww.... This indeed looks blood splatter to me. Maybe other color combination will make it look better, such as black and gold? No matter what, not white and red IMO.

karmenzsofia · Oct 29th, 2009, 07:21 PM

I just realized that this is one of the ugliest bags I've ever seen.

candy2100 · Oct 29th, 2009, 07:52 PM

Hmmmm. It looks like a piece of raw meat to me

, so I definately see what you mean about the Dexter connection, but I can't say that I'm a big fan of the clutch or the show.

I agree - blood splatter!

Awwgeez · Oct 30th, 2009, 12:02 AM

You hit the nail on the head with this bag. Before I even read your review i thougt, it looked like someone used this bag to wipe up a bloody crime scene. Grody!

calneva · Oct 30th, 2009, 11:34 PM
