How perfect is this clutch?! This piece is lovingly handcrafted, constructed from 2mm thick, genuine cow leather, completely hand stitched, and features a magnetic flap closure. This beautiful clutch is 9" long, 5 1/2" tall and 1 1/4" wide (without the 'handle').
This clutch ALWAYS gets compliments! A perfect day to night piece, great for dancing; it fits so comfortably in your hand you almost forget it's there, and your PKW could not be more secure while you get on with your mischief. This clutch adds so much to your look and is wearable...it won't feel like a necessary inconvenience - it will never go on the floor in the middle of your dance circle with the other bags. This is an accessory that you're going to want to be wearing!
To make this clutch, the bag pattern is all cut from a single swatch of leather for a perfect match. The underside and edges are burnished by hand for a smooth, supple feel (burnishing smoothes the rough underside of leather and gets rid of those little leather 'fuzzies'). The magnets on the front of the bag are hand sewn to the body under discs of leather. The magnets on the underside of the flap are glued using industrial grade leather glue, to keep the front flap clean and unstitched. Every detail is considered: to keep the sides of the bag from 'pooching' out at the top, I sew wire into the inside seam of both sides. This piece was coated with 3 layers of satin leather finisher, giving it a glossy sheen and deepening it's color. The coats of finisher will also help protect it from scratches and dirt.
This bag is handcrafted from genuine leather; that means there may be small variations in the leather, and there may be some minor tool marks that are unavoidable. If you're looking for complete perfection, a machine made bag is a better choice; if you're looking for a handcrafted piece of art - you're in the right place!
Please note: this clutch is made to be 'worn' on the right hand. It's part of the sample sale despite being in perfect condition due to the fact that since making it, I've found that oil tanned leather does not respond as well to finishes (this clutch has a satin finish applied) due to it's high oil content. This primarily becomes an issue where the leather is bent to a pretty extreme degree (ex. straps that are put into a buckle over and over) - which can result in some light cracking of the finish. This likely won't be an issue with this piece, because it was finished after it was bent and sewn into the clutch shape, and the only 'moving part' is the flap of the clutch, which is only a slight bend. But to err on the side of caution, I don't feel comfortable selling it full price, hence the steep discount!
