Let me just start off by saying the photo doesn’t do this bag justice. It’s stunning in person! In fact, I happened to be shopping at Hirshleifer’s in Manhasset, NY when this clutch caught my eye. I immediately thought back to the Louboutin Mary-Jane’s Christian designed for a past Rodarte show that featured humungous spikes protruding all over (remember those?) This clutch is the perfect complement! It’s very light, although the spikes are indeed metal, and surprisingly roomy given its compact size. The multi-color mixed leather is very stylish and I like the ruching of the leather cascading down the front on either side. To keep from inadvertently stabbing yourself when you carry it, Louboutin designed a wrist handle that’s nicely festooned with silver studs but allows enough smooth leather for your hand to grasp.

You have got to be kidding me…
I don’t understand how a designer who makes such beautiful shoes would make a handbag like this.
Good for warding off robbers…..one good swing in their direction would send them running.
I’m not the least bit convinced. This bag looks like a tacky mess.
I agree it’s different and interesting but it’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m glad you featured it though, I would not have seen this atrocity! there are no Loub boutiques around me.
Sorry, I’m just not feeling this one.
Wow..I’ve got to hand it to Louboutin. He really knows how to work structure and clean lines into his shoes and bags. I think I would like this if it were in one shade of black made from different materials and textures, with just a flash of red or magenta to give it a kick. Other than that, I am LOVING the spikes!
Eww.. You are joking, right?
I’m pretty sure I would end up accidentally stabbing myself in the upper thigh if I held this clutch the wrong way. Then again, I wouldn’t want to be seen alive with this monstrosity, so maybe that’s a good thing.
Looks like a sixth grade art class project gone awry.
wonderful little clutch, I`m a big fan of Louboutin shoes!
Maybe it’s better in person….
what on earth, are you really genuinely enthusiastic about this clutch? Sorry but have to question your judgment here. This post completely muddles the blog’s chic, discerning, sophisticated identity.
You should have saved this post for April Fools Day
You’re insulting us with this ludicrous bag!
This would go great with the crazy Balenciaga lego heels that came out a while back.
The shoe that compliments this bag is what’s hot. This is not
Yuck !
Does Bag Snob Jim ever dislike anything? I feel like he doesn’t state his true opinions because he is scared of offending his friends in the fashion world. This isn’t the first hideous bag that he has ‘liked’, in fact there have been quite a few. Louboutin should stick to shoes, 99% of his bags are awful.
I love it, something new and cool in the bag world !
I went to the store in NY, they were sold out !
