One of the star pieces from the S/S12 Valentino runway collection, the Valentino Crystal-Embellished Perspex Clutch reminds me of those thick cut-crystal Bohemia vases that most everyone had at home in the 90s. And while it may look like crystal, the clutch is actually made of perspex.

Measuring 18 cm by 13 cm, the clutch could have been too girly-girl, if not for the addition of crystal and stud embellishments which are a nice touch. Use it on its own or with its accompanying gold chain shoulder strap; it’s definitely a statement piece that wouldn’t look out of place in any stylish woman’s wardrobe.

Get it online at Net-A-Porter for GBP2240 (that’s around SGD4510 after conversion), or get it locally at the Valentino boutique in ION Orchard where it retails for SGD5120.
