There was an embossing event the other week and the opportunity to have my initials blind stamped persuaded me to make this Opli clutch officially mine. I love the color, rose lipstick; I love the leather, chevre mysore, and I love how it feels in the palm of my hand when I hold it. I’ve had other H clutches before but this fits perfectly and is so comfortable to hold in my petite sized hand. I love the magnetic closure, the accordion sides, and that it stands upright all on its own. Here it is paired with my HG Urashima Taro scarf that I recently procured after having missed it when it was originally issued in SS 2015.
This is my first embossed H item and while I wouldn’t typically put my initials on an H bag, I did with this piece. (Too bad my DD doesn’t share my initials!). I decided to do a small font size and blind stamp it in the front corner so my initials would be very subtle.
Lovely, lovely piece, thank you for posting.
I haven't seen one in real life but love your description of it. is the size like a wallet?Lovely, lovely piece, thank you for posting.
It’s bigger than a wallet if you consider its girth. Lengthwise, it’s probably close to one of the longer H wallets (checkbook size). I’ll take a photo of the opli clutch next to a couple of my wallets so you can see the size.
Lovely, lovely piece, thank you for posting.
Here you go!
You were such an inspiration to me when you started this thread. I am so happy that you are actively posting in it again. Your things and your pictures are always so beautiful. I also periodically go back to your thread on drag bags. That is the most helpful bag specific thread ever.
I admit that I’ve become obsessed with bag straps lately. Perhaps because it’s a “less expensive” way to feel like you’re carrying a “new bag”. I’ve been accumulating leather and canvas straps of both the H and non-H variety and thought I would share. [emoji304] Typically, I would like to keep the hardware color consistent — bag with GHW + strap with GHW, bag with PHW + strap with silver hardware — but lately, I’ve become more comfortable mixing and matching hardware colors. And, I don’t seem to notice the hardware color difference as much when the handle is wrapped in a twilly!
I am in love with H greens and blues so this particular sangle cavale strap has my name written all over it! I could only find it in the wide 50mm size in the shorter 70cm shoulder length with PHW which works well with my vert vertigo Evelhne if I want to carry it like a typical shoulder bag.
I also tried it out with my Rouge H box Kelly even though the colors aren’t in the same family. I think it works?
I’m also in love with magnolia so I couldn’t resist adding this Tressage cuir in magnolia and Bleu Saphir because it has both the bright pink and my favorite H blue (I think Bleu Saphir and Bleu Electrique are tied for “first place”).

This is the narrower width tressage cuir (25mm) in the 85cm length which is long enough to wear crossbody with a Bolide or evelyne, and as a longer shoulder strap with Kellys.
Here’s my mix-and-match hardware combo:
I think the pink twilly helps pull the look together. Can you tell that my Kelly hardware is gold but the strap hardware is silver?
