Jil Sander's Rocks the Clutch

Jil Sander (I love the Style perfume -- I bought it in Saks at Fifth Avenue) has a beautiful purse in -- you guessed it -- the hot material of the season, python.

This mini clutch bucks the supersize trend, in a petite envelope size (dimensions are 5" x 5.5" x 1").

The u-shape of the gunmetal handle makes it look like a western or rocker style; this is a clutch with an edge.

This bag folds over and closes with a magnetic snap -- it holds the bare necessities (credit cards and IDs and a slim cell).

I've been on a major Barneys binge -- just got a very close and newly engaged friend a birthday present something there. This bag is available there for $595.
