I found this bag today via Fly

and I think I need one, or two. I already have a great “vintage” bag similar to this one that I’ve carried all Summer, but it couldn’t hurt to have one more, especially this one in a nice neutral pattern. If you’re not into neutral, Sakaad has all kinds of colors/patterns available; each bag is handmade in Kenya and only $40.

Must Have: Leopard Print Clutch

by grechen on September 15, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Of all the animal prints, leopard is my favorite. And although I’ll admit that I’m a much bigger fan of animal prints on OTHERS (not myself), I’m starting to feel the need for at least one item in my wardrobe. Maybe a pair of flats? or a clutch?

I love that there’s some texture to this clutch, it’s big enough to carry even for day, AND that it’s made from never-used, vintage, short pile Leopard print faux fur by Deanna Bracken of Green with Glamour together with Anita from Refind Originals (designer of recycled leather bags). You can also choose to have a vegan lining (hemp) put in, or go with the hemp/silk combo (non-vegan) for the same price of $99.

Seems an easy & eco-friendly way to incorporate leopard print into your wardrobe. What do you think? do you love it as much as I do?

Happy Monday morning!! Just for fun, we’ve teamed up with Carolina from Mi-Bra to giveaway three Mi-Bras to THREE winners. The Mi-Bra is an ingenious sports bra made from 90% organic cotton and has a pocket in the front for an ipod, credit card, or whatever you might need to carry with you. (I don’t know about you, but having a pocket in my workout wear is essential, but so hard to find!).
