Clutches are a smart place to start for shoe designers; not only do their existing customers (buyers of many pairs of impractical, expensive shoes) likely have the lifestyle to need clutches Coach Outlet, but smaller bags lend themselves well to embellishment and experimentation. In this small group (and no http://coachpursescc.altervista.org, just because the sale is on Gilt doesn’t mean there’s a discount), the geometrically embellished minaudieres are what really shine. The envelope clutches, on the other hand, are a bit basic, but based on his shoes http://coachoutletcouponc.weebly.com, I’m sure Atwood will find his footing and expand on these ideas soon. Check out all of the clutches, priced from $1050 to $1850, after the jump, or shop now via Gilt.com.

Translating a winning design aesthetic from shoes to handbags can be tricky.
