If you think a suitcase with gold hardware is too much for you, then maybe you should consider Stella McCartney’s Melamine clutch.
It’s made of melamine wood, looks every inch a wooden suitcase but it’s a clutch. Its gold hardware makes it stand out from the clutch crowd and state a natural snobbish air. On a golden plate emplaced on the front of the clutch is embossed with Stella’s name-logo and the interior is made of blue velvet. All stylish and luxurious and yours to take home for $2,795! Would you wear one of those if you could buy it?

Ugh, what?!?!?! I don’t think so. What is Stella thinking? I doubt we’d see her actually carrying this thing around – not for long anyway.
$2,795! Whaaaaaa? Agrees, its a state a natural snobbish air.
I wouldn’t buy it not even if I had the money. Making PR for a brand and pay that amount of money? No way!
I really don’t know to tell you the truth. It looks okay but I have to say that there is something about Stella McCartney that I have never liked. I have never really liked her clothes. I think that it is the stench of privilege and pomp about her.
The funniest thing happened – after I wrote this article (no, Stella didn’t phone to say thanks!) – just the next day went with my husband (and the kids, of course) to meet some friends. I passed near Nine West and couldn’t help it (since I’m officially hunting a pair of boots) . Guess what I found? The ripoff of these Stella McCartney shoes from the picture above! And when I say ripoff, I mean copycat!
To be honest, I liked them. Thought about the suitcase-like-clutch and had the feeling it wouldn’t suit me, wouldn’t match those shoes and anyway, I’d pay for the clutch thirty times the price of the ripoffs. What a deal! ;)
(Like the shoes?)
