Valentino Clutch ...

Whilst browsing on the internet for inspiration I came across this beautiful vintage needlepoint clutch bag by Valentino- I can't find it available anywhere but it's definitely got my creative juices flowing! I'm going to design and stitch a clutch bag over the Christmas holidays, I'll post an image of the finished article!
