I know the Alexander McQueen knuckle clutches aren't exactly trendy anymore, but it's been a wishlist item for me since they came out years ago. I've never checked it off of that wishlist because I knew it wasn't practical and so expensive for something that would rarely be used.

Welp, an AM boutique opened up not too far from me, and I made the mistake of going in recently to look around. I mentioned that I've always loved the knuckle clutches, but that the jeweled/spiked versions on display weren't really my style. The SA said "hang on" and disappeared for a few minutes. And then he came out with this classic black lambskin version with gold hardware.

Dang it. He got me.

Congrats on checking item off your wishlist. I have one of these in a different color/style that seems much larger. Yours looks like a perfect size for a fun evening bag!

Thank you!

I know at one point they made a longer version of this clutch, and they currently have a flat pouch style knuckle clutch too, which is much bigger (and very pretty). But the classic box style was always "the one" for me :smile: Plus it still fits my phone (Galaxy S20 with slim Otterbox case) and the removable chain strap is so convenient!
 
I finally took my Lady Dior purchased 3 weeks ago out of her box today and decided to play dress up in my closet trying to find potential outfits to wear. Surprised at how versatile this bag is considering the color/print. Looks great with greens, neutrals, even navy blue and the different print on back almost makes it like 2 bags in one. Please forgive poor lighting, hair tie on wrist, etc.

Also, yesterday I decided to debut the Prada I bought last weekend and wasn't sure I loved and it ends up I do love it! Messy hair compliments of afternoon thunderstorm before I ducked into mall for refuge.

I have Bvlgari sunglasses, perfume and jewelry but have actually never seen a Bvlgari handbag (can't picture anywhere I've ever seen them for sale where I live). Beautiful and unique bag. I think this would look striking with white in summer and black or navy any time. Enjoy!
They been around for quite sometime now but not as popular as LV or Chanel for example but their bags are really good in quality compared to Chanel or LV. I own a couple of Bvlgari bags and they are my obsession lately. This is my most favorite Bvlgari bag it's from last year collaboration with Casablanca. The snake eyes are made of blue jade every Bvlgari serpenti eyes are actually made of semi precious stones . The black eyes are onyx and the green eyes are malachite. On this particular bag the top handle is detachable and it comes with a wide strap for crossbody. I used this bag 2x since last year and I took it to Chanel, Dior LV , Hermès and to Cartier (when I picked up my bracelet ) just to get the SA opinions hahha and it did not disappoint.

Omg that bag is even more gorgeous than the first one! I am not sure I can live without something like that in my life. TPF strikes again. FML (and my bank account). Thanks for sharing, would love to see more if you have but not quite sure anything can top that one!

I love the tiger side of the Dior, and you’re right—the bag is surprisingly versatile! Congrats on a great purchase!

I’m so sad I missed out on this bag. It was sold out pretty quickly. Gorgeous!!!
 
A few more Bulgari for your Sunday viewing! The puffy bags are called cabochon. I bought one in Vegas, one online, and the little green one was from Fashionphile. (Love Fashionphile!) The two in the other pic are both from Vegas. The ivory was my very first Bulgari, and it really hooked me. The multicolored one is my latest and also has a fun snake head!

The cabochon straps are really wide, so the black one has a strap from Mautto that’s a little more narrow.

Ok you absolutely rock both bags and I love the tiger side!
I would not have thought the Dior bag would go with so much but it really does
