Studding on a handbag has to be done right to look flashy not trashy. Marc Jacobs’ Sweet Punk line was a huge hit, offering the right stud detailing to lure in the trendy crowds. But the price is not as captivating for the gal who is looking for a little bit of rocker chic without wanting to spend her entire budget. And like I have said before, if you want to put money into a trend that is not 100% you, opt for a more affordable bag that fits in that trend. Perfect for those who love studs but are not crazy about them, the Loeffler Randall Clutches are affordable fun options. There is one version with shiny snakeskin-embossed leather and another with smooth calfskin. Both feature polished gold metal hardware with pointed studs on the front. These clutches are fun and funky, adding the perfect edginess that you crave. I can see many girls at bars rocking these out. Best yet is the price. One of my favorite designers that does the envelope clutch beautifully is VBH (I am still in love with their Python Clutch). Yet Loeffler Randall completes their envelope clutch great and the price is very reasonable. Dimensions are 9.5″x 5.5″. The embossed snakeskin is $395 via eLuxury and the calfskin is $345 via eLuxury.
I like this designer, and this is a nice clutch for evening.
Love the snakeskin emboss clutch… very chic. There is a box clutch by Nancy Gonzalez with almost exact same print. I am torn. Should I spend 675 on NG or this one then?
I definitely enjoy these bags, but they look a little disposable. They are not something I’d want to carry forever, but they are definitely cute!

it’s cute – but yes a bit flimsy looking, my personal favorite is featured in this months instyle, the jack rabbit black quilted clutch. higher end but wasn’t bad priced, i called fred segal and it’s i think $360? but is sold out for two weeks.
