When I was a little girl, I had a metallic silver embossed faux leather wallet. Oh, how I loved that wallet! I carried fake i.d. cards in it, along with a Barbie club membership card and other assorted ephemera. It wasn’t anything special to anyone else, but to me, it was one of my favorite things in the world.

When I saw this snake embossed metallic silver leather clutch by Stuart Weitzman, I immediately remembered my faux leather wallet because the color and texture of the clutch is so reminiscent of it. Of course, at $278.95 and measuring 10.5″ l x 7″ h x 2″ d, it’s a lot more expensive and larger than my wallet was—my wallet was probably puchased at a drugstore for less than $5, but regardless, seeing the clutch brought back good memories.

It’s funny how something like a purse can hold such a vivid memory in your mind; in fact, this clutch probably would have never even caught my eye had it not been for that cheap, little wallet I carried years ago. Which, all of this reminds me I really need to post about some of my other favorite childhood bags!
