Balenciaga Arena Giant Envelope Clutch.
Hmm...
Normally, I detest the catalogs that I get in the mail. I mean, does anyone shop from catalogs they receive in the mail??? Why? Not when every thing's online... It makes ordering so much easier.
But I digress... Sorry.
So yesterday, I received a catalog from Barney's. It was a small flip-book of their luxury handbags for this season. And while most did not spark my interest, there was one, of course, that I immediately LOVED.
The Balenciaga Arena Leather Giant Envelope Clutch.
Now, I don't mind getting catalogs from Barney's. I don't mind it because it is one of the few stores where their website really isn't up to par. And perhaps that is for a reason. And of the few items they do have on their website, Balenciaga is not one of them.
In fact, you can't really find Balenciaga items for sale on the Internet anywhere. There are plenty of knock-offs available online... But not the real deal. Which is why I had to settle for giving you the poorly scanned photo above.
But the clutch is so divine. I wonder if it comes in red... Hmm...

I got the same catalog and drooled over pretty much every single bag. But my issue is that each and every item was at least a few thousand dollars. I know "it" bags are expensive but I dunno, I feel like it's gotta a little bit more out of hand, in terms of price lately.
This clutch is $945... Which is a lot for a clutch. But compared to some of the other bags in the catalog, this one was cheap. I like bags with personality. But there are somany bags out there that just don't have any.
Believe it or not people, I have only purchased four new bags in the past two and a half years. There have just been too far and few between bags with personality that I have had to have.
Though this clutch is slowly becoming one of them.
Oddly enough men's threshold for denim pricing is much higher...maybe b/c they aren't coveting all the bags in the new Barney's catalog :) (pure fashion crack!)
PS...have I ever told you that I adore your personal style quite a bit? well I do!
