Christian Louboutin continues to make a name for himself in the handbag world. The Christian Louboutin Loubistuds Clutch wowed us when we first viewed it. The perfect edginess was added to make that clutch a contender and a clutch that truly would amp up your night time outfits. The problem with that clutch was the price. Just over $1500, that is one pricey clutch.

We found you an option if you want the Studded clutch look for less. The Santi Beaded Disco Bag features hand-beading rather than studs and brings you the 80’s theme for fall. The top kisslock closure is reminiscent of the kisslock closure on the Louboutin clutch. The body of the clutch is satin, available in black, pink and gold.

While shopping the look for less is not always my forte, it is important for all of us to know how and when to make wise shopping choices. For a fun night out clutch, spending $165 rather than $1519 makes financial sense. And the Santi clutch is a great option, that will infuse retro glamour into your wardrobe. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $165.

Yeah...the CL is too pricey, but it's a bad ass clutch.
For me there's no comparison -- the CL rockz!

I love the Santi clutch super cute!

Well... THey're definitely not the same, I'd almost go as far as to say that you don't really get the "look" in this case as the detailing is so obiously different and that's what really sets the CL apart. If you simply want something with studs, there are plenty of options.

They're both too different... I like the CL one a lot better too. It's also a lot pricier, but the design is much prettier to me.

Yes, love the price comparision choices. But the CL does win it for me.
