In hindsight I can’t believe I didn’t get the Alexander McQueen Valentine Skull Clutch as soon as I laid eyes on the $539 price tag (down from $1,350). This is a classic McQueen clutch that will only go up in value and it’s surprising that it was even marked down. It took two fashionable women however (thank you Keren Eldad and Karen Robinovitz!), to convince me that I had to have it. I was initially weary about the red color (blood red + skull = too much, I worried), but really red is like black, white, or brown and goes with almost anything. Even though the clutch is on the small side, I’m incredibly happy with my purchase – not to mention feeling like a mighty smart shopper after noticing a red clutch, similar to the this one, but not as nice since it doesn’t have the red crystal details, selling at Saks for $1,190.
