Tokyosnowlet: Going Wild

Going Wild

  • Wild on Formal Occasions
You're attending your sister-in-law's daughter's wedding dinner next week, and her wedding dinner theme is "Romance in the Jungle". You've got 7 days to think of what to wear next week but out of 7 days you'll be busy for 5 days. That leaves you with 2 more days and you decide to focus more on the clutch. What's the wildest exotic animal in the jungle? Snake of course!

Here are some clutches that would make you go SssSsSss~

Meet Chandra by Jimmy Choo. This Chandra is made in Karung skin and what attracts those eyes are the golden buckle held by 4 strips of golden looking tiny ropes. Adds gorgeously to the "wild" effect, definitely a piece for Tarzan's lady, Jane. This 31cm wide and 15.5cm tall piece of snake skin would definitely explain your whole wild look. Besides Karung skin...

Chandra also comes in Elaphe skin! Well this once is definitely more glamorous than the one above, as it's all covered in metallic Elaphe skin, and the 4 ropes are replaced with a long strip of metallic Elaphe skin too. But the thing is, this one's slightly smaller at 22cm wide and 14.5cm tall and both retails at US$1595. So which one would you choose? Wild Jane, or Glamorous Jane?

Well, if that's a little bit above your budget, why not go for this clutch...

Gucci 1973 clutch! I like how the oval GG logo makes it all look so antique and yet so modern. Classy! This clutch is made in gunmetal python. Measuring at 13.4 inches wide and 6.3 inches tall, this one's slightly bigger than Chandra, which would attract more attention (lol), and surprisingly it's much more affordable than the Chandra! This one comes in at US$980.

If you're one who cares about animal-killing and don't support the use of exotic skins, you still can look wild!

With this Kristin clutch of course! This clutch from Coach comes in python-embossed metallic leather. Although it's as big as the Gucci clutch, but this one comes in at a MUCH more affordable price, which is at US$348.

Oh for your info, this one's a limited-edition, so hurry and drop by your nearest local store and grab one now before next week's wedding dinner (or any other occasions, "wild" occasions)!
