I was in the same boat a while ago, carrying all my stuff in shoulder bags, but suddenly I fell for a feminine look of carrying just few important things under my arm, and I fell in love with clutches. I took YSL one in patent (although I am faaaar from patent in my taste - but in smaller item it works well), and several balenciaga more casual clutches, and I am loving my life after work with them. Not that I have some vibrant social life, but even just going out to do errands with a clutch makes me feel that my life is more elegant ...also I saw so amny gorgeous images of Milan fashion wekk and what not, where everyone is just having casual yes stylish wardrobe, and just variety of clutches
yours in particular is a great taste because of tortoise Y, it is a gorgeous combination, and although I do not like saffiano, I like slouchier leathers (yet I have a rigid patent clutch LOL), it is an elegant and durable leather
