I haven't seen this IRL, but I love this clutch. It would be the perfect size for me based on the pic of the woman holding it.

Beautiful shade of purple too. I say go for it! I would get it myself if I could.

I've seen that IRL. It is a very nice clutch. I am not a tall person. This clutch is just too big for me. is it 50% now?

I saw it irl at the store a few times...it is incredibly soft, yummy! feels just like suede!! The clutch size is decent I'd say..like any reg big clutches to hold under your arms. I don't think it's too big, but what function would you like it for? I think it'd be great for those days that you don't want to carry a bag, but def not for a night out at a club/lounge scene. But that's just me. I love purple and I love ostrich..I say go for it!!!

I can't take my eyes off of it! I love it. I didn't see it in the sale section, right? I would think that my eyes would have darted over immediately!

LOVE IT!!! I ordered this clutch. The ostrich is very soft to the touch and I love the color combo of purple w/ ash croc trim. It is also fully lined with suede. I believe there are 2 compartments inside.

I didn't realize any were left. It was featured prominently in their Fall '08 ad campaign and I thought it sold out. It's very pricey for a clutch, but gorgeous.

uclaboi, did you order recently?

I ordered mine before the presale. My SA already knew that I wanted it. Yes, it is still very pricey for a clutch, but I couldn't resist ostrich + croc + color combo = love.

I'm going to use this clutch w/ my Lanvin suit.
