So, it’s like a discount wonderland out there right now. I mean, when was the last time you saw Alexander McQueen merchandise marked down 60%? Right, me neither. It’s bad that the economy is in a tailspin, but it certainly makes for great Christmas shopping.
I picked up this clutch below as a gift for . . . god, I don’t know. I’ll think of someone! It was too good a deal to pass up, and the thing was way too funky-cool to let sit forlornly on a discount rack, as if no one wanted it, when I so clearly know about fifteen people who do. Or will!
The leather is smooth, ridiculously soft and a brilliant navy blue — not a dark navy, but a genuine marine navy. The hardware is solid and gleaming, and the little Royal Guard charm dangling from a ring hook is hilarious. The entire thing is completely frivolous, and it’ll make someone’s day in the most inane and yet absolutely satisfying way.
I had to take photos. It was just too giddily great to keep all to myself. How come they don’t make wallets this awesome for guys? Please, someone tell me they do!

Uncle Sam thanks you for boosting the economy. I thank you for remembering to take a pic of the innards…which in this case, may be the best fillip on the bag.
That’s a very cool interior — all splashed with color and cheeky with attitude. It does kind of make the bag, doesn’t it?
I love that bag! I’m glad you rescued it from ignominy. I know your assistant will be thrilled with it.
I thought it would be right up your alley. I’ve already had one person message me to keep her in mind if I ever wanted to sell it, but it’s pretty much a done deal for the assistant.
It so did not deserve the discount bin . . .
I thought you’d like to know I was up for hours the other night re-vamping this as a man’s wallet in my head.
Hint: there’s a fetching wallet chain with a tin soldier fob.
THAT would actually be quite awesome. It would go perfectly with your brother’s batman pajamas . . .
