How perfect is this clutch?! This piece is lovingly handcrafted from Italian Vachetta vegetable tanned leather in Olive Green. This specialty leather is the highest quality, tanned using a specialized vegetable tanning tecnique in Tuscany. This full grain leather is 7.5-8oz (3-3.2mm thick), with a supple but firm feel and a smooth, buffed surface with a subtle sheen.  This piece features a glove-like hand piece, making it weable and comfortable to carry and a magnetic flap closure. This beautiful clutch is 9" long, 5 1/2" tall and 1 1/4" wide (without the 'handle'). 
Why Vegetable Tanned Leather? What is Full Grain Leather?
 
**Pictured olive green clutch is the first clutch I made using Vachetta leather, and I used 4.5-5 oz (1.8-2.0mm) thick leather - but decided to make the final version using thicker (3mm) leather for added structure. This item is in perfect, new condition, it's just made of thinner leather and so has a less 'structured' feel to it versus the final version. The clutch you'll receive is the clutch shown in the photos. This piece is right handed (worn on the right hand).
 
This clutch ALWAYS gets compliments! A perfect day to night piece, great for dancing; it fits so comfortably in your hand you almost forget it's there, and your PKW could not be more secure while you get on with your mischief. This clutch adds so much to your look and is wearable...it won't feel like a necessary inconvenience - it will never go on the floor in the middle of your dance circle with the other bags. This is an accessory that you're going to want to be wearing!
 
To make this clutch, the bag pattern is all cut from a single swatch of leather for a perfect match. The underside and edges are burnished by hand for a smooth, supple feel (burnishing smoothes the rough underside of leather and gets rid of those little leather 'fuzzies'). The magnets on the front of the bag are hand sewn to the body under discs of leather. The magnets on the underside of the flap are glued using industrial grade leather glue, to keep the front flap clean and unstitched. Every detail is considered: to keep the sides of the bag from 'pooching' out at the top, I sew wire into the inside seam of both sides. 
 
This bag is handcrafted from genuine leather; that means there may be small variations in the leather, and there may be some minor tool marks that are unavoidable. If you're looking for complete perfection, a machine made bag is a better choice; if you're looking for a handcrafted piece of art - you're in the right place!
