When I first moved to New York City, I was disappointed. I expected that as soon as I stepped foot in The Big City I would be given a jetpack and a robot housekeeper, like on the Jetsons. I soon found other reasons to love New York, but my yearning for an ultra modern future perfect has never waned. I never thought my desires would be granted in the guise of a handbag, but I’ll take wish fulfillment any way I can get it.
The complex and sophisticated geometry of the Neon Panel Clutch is what holds the design of the bag together. The three dimensionality of the clutch is created by pieced together slices of patent leather, and the hot pink and black combination is an Alexander McQueen trademark. I guess I don’t have to say again how much I love this super sleek accessory. Everything about it screams modern, and yet, it also has a vaguely retro flair, I guess you might call it retro-futuristic.
The only thing I don’t love about the bag is the opening. It opens with a gold zipper top, which is practical and all that, but I’d prefer it was some sort of off-kilter clamshell opening, to go with the avant garde look of the clutch. The 13″ x 7″ x 3″ size is big enough to stow away your evening essentials like keys and compact, but small enough to fit nicely in the palm of your hand.
I know this clutch is not for everyone, but on a girl who loves it, it would be the perfect way to liven up a simple black sheath dress, or even a jetpack.
