A sculptural clutch is something that not everyone wants to hold in their hand. This is quite obviously understood by the mere fact that most clutches are square or rectangular shaped, and that shape has persisted since the dawn of the clutch.

And you know, I really like it.

I suppose the main question with this clutch is the accessibility of the interior, as there’s only one vertical zip. Can you stick your hand, or more importantly, your smartphone though that slit? Considering the size of the clutch- it’s 9.5 inches tall- you can do so with ease. I can’t wait to see this one on the red carpet, and perhaps in my own palm. Buy through Shopbop for $490.
