Thought it might be fun a to showcase a bag from somewhere other than the usual luxury retailers, so here's a gem I found on Etsy. A Green Alligator Clutch by David St. Mortiz. It's handmade of a combination of genuine American alligator skin and cowhide leather, with a dark brown pigskin lining. The fold-over flap is made from the alligator's tail and in this case features an interesting natural contour. Designed a little like a wallet, this clutch features a double-frame purse compartment interior with slots for credit cards and room for small essentials like a cell phone and lipstick. Each bag is made at the time of order, $499.
