Patent Asymetric Bag or Clutch?

rito511 · Jul 22nd, 2008, 05:53 PM

Hello All,

I've been looking for a clutch that can be used for both casual and semi-formal. I saw this cute clutch at Saks, too bad the small one is pretty small

The size is 11"L x 7"H. I like it because there is wrist strap and easy to hold. For sure, it wouldnt fit long/thick wallet. It might fit a small thin wallet, cellphone, car key only.

They also have large size which shows in the website (Paris Londres collection no# 18) with longer strap. You can use it as both shoulder bag and clutch too, but the strap will be hanging. I know some celebs use small bag as clutch with strap hanging but not sure if it is easy to hold or not.

Here is the link http://www.chanel.com/fashion/8#8-pa...c-bag-1,1,18,9

I wear them for couple mins to compare and still I'd prefer the small one. All of SAs said the large one is better due to the function.

It is common sense that I should go for the small one since I like it very much, but I dont want to regret it because of the size.

If you were me, which one would you buy?

Many thanks!

well, it solely depends on the function you want it for.

run errands, night out, everyday?

I would think small one you can carry it w/ you for lots of purposes. Especially you already like the small one.

As for the large one, it looks so punk and since it is a pochette kinda bag, the small one will endure its look longer.. Just my 2 cent!!!
