Rarely do I laud clutches as a bag of proper choice, but leave it to Alexander McQueen to lead me to a change of heart. The Knuckle Box Clutch doesn't want to be tucked away under the arm. It wants to be fingered.

And the one I saw left apparently unattended on a couch at Bunker last night was winking at me. Its striking beauty, its hypnotizing properties.. I wanted to touch it. But McQueen's women are powerful, if I'd have taken just one step closer to the clutch, I may well have ended up with a knuckle-punch printed skull in the side of my face.
