Either Judith Leiber’s design sensibility is totally schizophrenic, or I am. Because sometimes she makes totally absurd cartoon-y zebra bags, and sometimes she makes totally amazing, beautifully crafted bags like this Goddess clutch.
This hard-cased clutch has all the glamor of Hollywood in the 1940s. It looks like something Rita Hayworth would have carried wearing a slinky bias-cut satin gown, idly dangling a cigarette from her other hand.
The faceted jewels that cover the bag are made of finely crafted, champagne-colored crystal. Their rectangular shape catches the light in a magnificent, but subtle, way. I love the way that the crystals mimic the shape of the clutch and vice versa.
The large crystal clasp finishes the bag beautifully, but the luxury of this bag doesn’t stop with its exterior. The interior is lined in buttery soft silver leather and includes a small vanity mirror.
For $2,695, the Goddess clutch isn’t particularly accessible to the masses. But then again, it isn’t really supposed to be. It’s made for a goddess.
