form meets function
I really like my Clare V leopard clutch and the visual impact it adds to an outfit. But I’ve often wished it had a strap so I could wear instead of carry. Apparently Clare V had the same idea, and is now offering a similar style with a detachable strap. This one also has a double pouch and is super lightweight. Nice!

Clare V has a wonderful shop on Sunset Blvd. in Silverlake. I discovered it taking a walk near my son’s home, on my visit last month. I did get to see her entire collection that was out at that time. And of course did buy a cream and black pouch….well worth a visit for you……
Yes, this bag with a longer (optional) strap is so cute when worn cross-body.
Love this bag. I’ve taken bags to a shoe repair and had them add hooks so that I could clip a crossbody strap to it. It works great! Only cost about 25.00.
I have long coveted the exact clutch you have. It is not in my budget, so about a year and a half ago, I decided to make my own leopard clutch–by knitting, felting and sewing it. (I think you can see it here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/LCBraun/pretty-kitty-clutch ) It’s fun—but not the same. Maybe I should add a leather cross body strap, as Jeni mentioned above. Or maybe I should just decide that this new version is something I am going to save for, bit by bit.
Love those Clare V. clutches – they’re so simple, elegant, and a nice pop of color and/or pattern!
Maybe you can get your clutch retrofitted.
Looked this up right away using your link….all sold out with no expectation of it becoming available again….so much for that good idea!
So sorry about that! It was available when I posted yesterday morning.
