Jimmy Choo’s gold glitter acrylic clutch mimics the lucite handbags of the 1950s. Like discovering your very own pearl oyster, wear this 1950s iridescent purple, marbelized pearl lucite handbag in awe. Similar to the effect of a plume of swirling smoke, the exterior lucite has a marble finish of light purple and pearl white.
