Default Question about the Bella Clutch
I really want this bag, but, I'm undecisive about it because of it's size. I went to Target today, and saw this purse while I was there:




Is the Bella similar is size? I have 2-3 small purses that I absolutely never ever use because they are too small and don't fit everything I need. The size of this purse was perfect but, it was ugly (IMO).

Does anyone have any pics of them wearing the Bella on their arm, so I can get an idea of the length and depth of it? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I just got a Botkier bella bag a few days ago

I was actually surprised at how big it was... I expected it to be the size of a small clutch... but it can fit my (checkbook sized) wallet, cell phone, keys, and a few beauty items. It's smaller and thinner than my Coach legacy medium handbag.... hope that helps! If you check out ebay, there are tons of pictures of people posing with the bella clutch... I'll probably post my pics later tonight or tomorrow, if you want to take a look.

Thanks for the advice peach! I've looked on ebay and only ever say people just taking pics of the bag, not holding it before, but I'll check it out now to see if there are pics there that will help me out. If you could post pics tho, I'd really appreciate it!!

I agree, the bella clutch is a bit larger than normal clutches, I saw a girl at the mall a couple days ago with it while walking around at Nordies, the bronze one, it was beautiful! I dont have one but would love one if I could stay away from my love of large bags^^

I just love the look of it, but, I haven't found a single store in Northern VA that carries Botkier. I'm really hesitant to purchase a bag off of the internet, because then if I don't like it, I will have to return it, and pay for S&H back. It's just not worth it to me. I like that it can be used as a clutch or a purse, but, would rather use it as a purse vs a clutch, which is why I want to know eaxctly how big it tends to be on the shoulder of a person.

Maybe you can purchase from an online store that has free returns as well? You should do a search...the only one that comes into my mind when thinking of free returns is ShopBop....but then again I dont return much...I think revolve is also return shipping free

I think amazon does free returns on apparel... and apparently they are doing 20% off botkier bags right now, including the bella!
