Do any of you guys watch Dexter? I’m utterly obsessed with it. I can’t recap it because it’s not at all fashioned-related, but if I could, I would. Also, I would marry Dexter and I wouldn’t be nearly as annoying and self-righteous as that a-hole Rita. Ahem.
I also really love the aesthetic that they have for their advertising and promotional materials – a bit minimalist, a bit comic book, a bit blood-spattered macabre – and when I saw the Giuseppe Zanotti Red Sequin Clutch, I couldn’t help but be reminded of America’s favorite serial killer.
For the uninitiated, Dexter is a killer than only kills other killers, and his day job is as a blood spatter analyst at the Miami Metro police department. The red-on-white, scattered visual that this sequin clutch creates remind me a lot of the blood spatter pictures that you see throughout the the series, although I’m sure that that probably wasn’t the inspiration for this clutch.
It’s merely a coincidence, but it makes me like this clutch a lot more than I probably would otherwise. It would be the perfect thing to wear to a Dexter-themed party, were you to have hundreds of extra dollars sitting around to spend on your themed outfit. Buy through BlueFly for $712.
Ok I knew its cute and trendy and all….but I cant stop seeing that it just looks like its covered in blood!
Disgusting! Disgusting even before reading your story. Now double-disgusting!
Nice to know I’m not the only one who feels that way about Rita…… I don’t care for this bag though, but it is definitely Dexter’esque…
This is TOTALLY a Dexter-inspired bag! Wouldn’t wear it, though.
love it!!
Before I read the story I thought it looked like blood splotches. Maybe a bag for someone but as for me, not so much.
it looks like the bag is experiencing her monthly friend.
Well since its halloween…….
I lie this bag! I think it would look good with almost anything!

The first thing I thought about was Dexter’s blood spatter patterns when I saw this and then I read your review, it was like you read my mind! But I wouldn’t want to carry this on a day to day basis.
Amanda, you are absolutely correct. I love the artistic value of the bag. Its something that you haven’t seen before and in fashion, thats huge!
Can you help me? I’m a intelligent, single 23 year old male and I’m looking for a girl with high fashion sense and taste. I know there aren’t a lot of ’straight’ males who love fashion but I happen to be one of them. My wife will not have a limit when it comes to fashion.
no way. i dont like anything that looks like blood on my bag!
Ha! I agree 1000% with Amanda, nice review!!!
