Judith Leiber Smokey Cut Crystal Embellished Clutch | Radiant Sparkling Special Occasion Clutch

Posted on: Sep 23

If you had told me a year ago that I would fall in love with a Judith Leiber bag, I would have laughed right in your face. Not that there's anything wrong with Judith Leiber; it's just that sparkly isn't usually my style.

But this version of sparkly definitely is. Maybe because it's dark, or maybe just because it's not shaped like a flamingo or something, but either way, I really dig this bag. It has an almost gothic charm that is so this season.

This silver, hard-cased clutch is covered edge-to-edge with smokey cut crystals. The elongated octogonal shape gives an extra layer of dimension to an already many multi-faceted bag. Even the interior, which is lined in metallic silver leather shines like the sun.

The crystal push-lock top is a great touch. It looks like a smokey topaz sitting on a pile of other smokey topazes. The slim chain strap is so fine and delicate that, frankly, I would be a little worried about breaking it, but the bag is so small that you can't fill it with too many weighty items anyways. And as a bonus, the clutch comes with a little double sided vanity mirror that is totally perfect and petite.

The $2,895 price tag is more than a little daunting, but let's be honest, this is a collector's item, not just a handbag.
