.. and I can't help feeling like I waisted so much money it's a great looking color but $800 for a clutch??? Can someone justify the purchase? Or should I return it? I mean I can almost buy a couch for that much.
LV has its own justifications in beauty and craftmanship. And that's a gorgeous handbag that you've gotten. But if you're having second thoughts perhaps you should get a smaller vernis piece in the same color for a little less or a bag that you can use every day. I know that many TPFers look at how many times they're likely to use a bag and then divide the cost of the bag - so 1 time a week over a year for a $1000 bag is about $21/use. You shouldn't feel bad or stressed out over any handbag purchase.
It is a really cute clutch, very classy! If you like, then keep it! But if you decide not to, you could get a bigger handbag, like a speedy, etc.! Indulge yourself!
I have one in amarante and use it alot- dinners, going out, even shopping trips if I don't feel like carrying much. Plus like someone said if you remove the straps it can be used like a wallet.
If you carry larger bags more often though then I'd say exchange it for something else.
I think it's a great colour for the sunset clutch and it's one of the most useful bags you'll get of that size. Enjoy it and you'll see how it's worth the cash!
