I have a ton of faux exotic clutches. I live in a college town and go to college bars, and I would never DREAM of spending significant money on something I’m going to sit in a puddle of Jagermeister eventually. They all cost less than $20, I have a million of them, it doesn’t matter if they get ruined, which they all eventually do. Sometimes, there’s room in life for a cheap bag.

OK Girls, I guess I better break out my original snake skin bags from the 80s! Beats the prices their showing, it’s the real deal!

I probably shouldn’t admit this-but I bought a silver metallic “snakeskin” clutch at Charlotte Russe last year for…ohhh about $12…and you wouldn’t believe the compliments I get on it. It doesn’t look expensive, but it doesn’t look cheap. So with that said, as much as I love to splurge on bags, every once in a while there’s a “luxe for less” bag that gets the job done perfectly!!

Now, quit your judging

Exotic skin is the only thing you can’t settle for less. If you can’t afford them, go for leather. Fake exotic skin looks like you’re trying…

I am in the mood where I am sick to death of overpriced bags. With this economy, I don’t want people calling, offering me 15k handbags.

The Carlotta comes in a BEAUTIFUL deep wine-colored patent. I believe it was in the $2k price range, but it was GORGEOUS in person.

And I actually adore that purple Jalda clutch.

I don’t think it matters… just as long as you love the style and your going to use it
But if you can get a couple bags for the price of one, sometimes that might be the better option.

Btw…Does that beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo Oversized Carlotta Alligator Tote come in any other leather besides Alligator???
