I was rummaging in my local charity shop the other day when I stumbled across this beauty. I couldn't resist buying it as I knew it would go with a lot of items in my wardrobe. It's a metal clutch, with a hard box-like shape similar to a jewellery box. I love the engraving and detailing as it reminds me of the 1920's glamour.
The bag itself is surprisingly big and can fit all my night out essentials. I can imagine wearing this with a flowing chiffon dress or a plunging tailored jumpsuit.
It's hard to find an exact replica but I've linked some clutches with a similar style below.
It's always worth giving charity shops a quick peek - sometimes you'll find utter rubbish, but as well as this bag a few months ago I found a gorgeous MaxMara coat in a north London charity shop!
Good areas in London for charity shops:
Highgate/Hampstead - on the pricier end of second hand clothing, but they do have great staple items and designer pieces.
Shoreditch/Dalston- known as 'vintage shops', in true east London style these have quirky one-off pieces and cute accessories.
Brixton/Clapham - For an eclectic mix of high street and high end at fantastic prices.
