Bag the slurge, get the steal



Love the look of the Marc Jacobs Serafima but hate to shell out 4 digits for such a here-today-gone-tomorrow look?

Or, maybe you hated the Serafima passionately, and then it grew on you, but now it's sold out everywhere?
Well, you can still get some bag on bag action without breaking the bank, or looking like every other trendy Wendy with a Marc Jacobs.

The Goldenbleu Audra Clutch has the same idea, but presented in a smaller, less "out there" way. In a quilted blue leather it is 2 kiss lock granny purses, one on a gold chain, the other stuck to the front. The chain tucks inside easily, and in a design genius move, the front purse is removable, making an adorable little change purse to stick in any bag. The inside is lined in suede (something a Marc Jacobs at twice the price is not) and has a zipper pocket and key ring.
The blue, called Water, is $650, but for the uber-bargain hunter, it is also available in black, which is currently half price at $325. Choose your color, both are from Shop Bop.
