Reece Hudson Ostrich No. 6 Lady Bag

Kirna Zabête has a knack for stocking some of the most unique and progressive designer pieces and this Reece Hudson clutch is no exception. Its envelope-shape and stark white shade are evocative of yes, a wildly glamorous envelope. Quilted, woven, and belted to perfection, I love the look of these details on pristine ostrich skin. I'll concede white is not your most practical color, especially on an oversized clutch that potentially requires two hands to hold (no grubby fingerprints, please!). But ostrich skin is sturdy and can take a beating, even in the rain. I am, however, concerned about the generous size - a foot wide and 9" tall. Convertible straps would be helpful, and I'd really love to see a cross-body strap on this. But I'd still be elated to get my hands on it.
