Default Gucci Crystal Evening Clutch
Now, this is a patent leather bag done the right way. Yesterday, I wrote about the Stella McCartney Patent Rivet-Detail Clutch and how I wasn’t sure if I thought it was properly executed. However, the Gucci Crystal Evening Clutch definitely scores a hit in my book.

Of course you can’t really compare this clutch to the Stella McCartney clutch I covered yesterday but I think the one thing I found lacking isn’t lacking this time. This clutch is sleek, sophisticated and has just the right amount of detail. The horsebit ring buckle instantly caught my attention and had me wanting to hold this bag in my hand. Not only do I like this clutch, but in at a price quite a bit lower than the one I covered yesterday. Buy through Saks for $530.

It's sleek, nice, classic, but I see no crystal?

Crystal is the name of the line I believe. There is no crystal.

Meh, it looks like something Nine West would put out.

ITA. Maybe you see the difference in quality IRL--sure hope so, because Gucci would be a lot more than the average brands.

I like it, though.

It's pretty, but I just wouldn't run out and spend $530 on it.

I have one in a burnt sienna/red color. It's very pretty, fits and feels great in the hand and feels very solidly and well-made.

Ooh, I like that! I'd LOVE it in a hot color! It's half the $ of a Chanel clutch.

I love it - sleek and tailored! Wonder if it comes in other colours.

This is a sexy and classy clutch. I like it. But I wouldnt get it in black something more radiant.
