Akila Crystal Mesh Foldover Clutch

2 stars because I like the bag a lot. So glad I was wearing my house kaftan and not my new dress. Snagged fabric at least three times within two minutes of opening the box. I read another review that said this, but I didn't understand. Buyer beware!

Clutch is absolutely stunning! It’s perfect for formal events or adding a touch of flair to your casual jeans. Special occasion purses are usually too small for my needs but this clutch offers ample space for more than just lipstick and a cell phone. The sparkling crystals make it a statement piece, yet it’s also a timeless classic that you can enjoy for years to come.

I was so excited when I saw this bag go on markdown. After receiving it, I’m rather disappointed. The way the bag is constructed causes the gem fixtures to snag on delicate fabric which makes it impossible to carry close to the body. What pushed it over the edge for me is that Nordstrom is charging $168 for this bag when the literal price tag says $148. It’s a cute bag in theory but not practical given the snagging effect. Also the way the bag snaps open and shut feels like the mechanism will eventually break. Overall it feels pretty cheaply made. I’d keep it if it was like $40, but $100+ is nuts.
