Ut-oh. I absolutely positively love this clutch. And when you look at it, it is nothing out of the ordinary. Simple shape and simple design. So simple yet so lovely. The exotic eel skin stands out beautifully in bright fuchsia. I want it. Sometimes what we love and desire does not make sense, even to us, and that is precisely how I feel about the Givenchy Elene Eel Clutch.

I know what you are thinking. Too plain. But there is a picture below that may change your mind.

As I looked at this clutch I realized I saw it somewhere before. I believe this Givenchy bag is the same carried by Amber Rose recently. Isn’t that it? And if so, I love it even more. Amber Rose has a unique sense of style and her hot pink eel skin clutch stood out magnificently.

Eel skin is such a great exotic. It infuses a pattern with the skin and an entirely different look. There is a top zip and wrist strap. The size is ample, 7.5″ x 12″. Only problem is the price. The price will hold me and many of you back. But when my imaginary wallet refills itself with money, I will buy this shocking pink exotic clutch. Buy through Barneys for $1,220.

I wouldn't use it enough to justify the price. It is pretty though!

Cool color, but other than that, nothing special

Other than the skin, it is nothing special at all, but you are right that we do like things where it doesn't make sense to even ourselves. It's rare, for me at least, but it happens. I like songs that I shouldn't like based upon my criteria as to what makes a good song, for example. The same goes with bags.

I would love to touch eel skin. It looks so oily but without residue and super sleek. My next wallet may be in eel skin, and my current one is in stingray, so this may take a long while before I wear it out enough to buy a new wallet.
