do you want a clutch or more of a bag?

for a bag there is basically the massai and the evelyn. maybe the bombay? I forget the price on the bombay.

but there are alot of clutches for that range.

the Jige is $2000 and under....and its a great clutch.

Would you consider a pre-owned or vintage bag? I think you can make your money go further if you would (LZ are selling a box kelly for $2500, for example).

all the suggestions -- Jige clutch, Massai, and Evelyn are good.

Also, Hermes makes a Kelly wallet in a large size that can double as a small clutch if you prefer the classic Kelly style. It is $2250 in box calf.

i don't know that i would say an evelyn is dressy. if you want vintage i would say look at resellers or ebay for a constance. perfect for weddings, funerals or church.

just what i was going to suggest, loony! and if you've got the patience to look at ebay and have the auction authenticated in the shopping sub-forum you can definitely find a nice vintage kelly for that budget. maybe even a scarf, too!

It seems like you're looking for a somewhat dressy bag. The Evelyne and Massai seem too casual for weddings, funerals, etc. Are you sure you want to spend all that money on a bag you can use so infrequently... unless you go to a lot of weddings and funerals!!:P

What about spending the $ on a bag you can use everyday and pick up a small-ish Chanel bag for a few hundred $ for special occasions. I believe you can find a great every day H bag, such as those mentioned above, for $2,400-ish and then you can use your tax refund for a special occasion bag. That's just my .02!

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I love the constance, and that amount would buy you a beautiful one.

Normally I would advocate for the Jige as it's a great little bag, well within budget and I'm a huge fan of it. But I think for the occation you mentioned, a vintage or gently used black box Kelly would be a lot more suitable.

Those showed here in this thread are just beautiful.
