Inspired by McQueen: De Manta clutch DIY

McQueen De manta clutch

Some years ago animal prints were sinonymous of an eccentric style. Nowadays leopard prints are a must have for women of any age. I would like to suggest you go deeper in the jungle and get inspired by python prints. These exotic leathers are sinonymous of luxe and exclusivity (and painful prices) so you have to get yourself a snakeskin accessory chic girl!
Today I'll show how to make a snakeskin clutch with a placemat found at zara home. You can find placemats of any material. If you don't find the one you like you can replace it with a piece of vinyl or leather 35x50 cm.
We'll give a full trasformation to the placemat. For the shape of the clutch I took inspiration from Alexander McQueen  de manta clutch. 

For the Clutch you'll need:

• a placemat (or a 50x35 cm piece of leather)
• 28 pyramid studs
• 2 zippers 14cm each
• 2 automatic buttons 
• glue

Let's get started

Mint and leopard

Yesterday I decided to pair my new DIY jumper with a leopard skirt and then to play with pastel colors with accessories. I got my new bracelets made of python skin in Florence, a city that it's like leather goods heaven. If you've been there at least once you'll know that the city streets are filled with stores that sell beautiful and colored leather goods and actually thinking at Florence the smell of leather is one thing you'll remember. Every time I go there I buy a small leather accessory, last time I bought a little wallet, this time these three bracelets.

After the overwhelming fashion weeks that took us too early to the next winter let's get back to spring trends.I've already mentioned the Burberry Prorsum spring 2011 runway focusing on the surprising new trench mixed with leather in the rework that trench post.
Today it's time to talk about the new aggressive leather jacket they proposed.
A short snakeskin evil number covered with studs in sand or acid green color.
I totally fell in love with those jackets.
This spring the snake skin leather and prints appear on bags,belts trousers and tops, they all say this animal print is making a come back in our wardrobe.



Vi ho già parlato della sfilata firmata Burberry Prorsum per la primavera 2011 soffermandomi sul nuovo sorprendente trench mixato alla pelle nel post rework that trench.
Oggi vorrei invece parlare della giacca in pelle presentata sempre in quella sfilata:corta e aggressiva in pelle di serpente super borchiata nei colori sabbia o verde acido.
Protagonista è la pelle di serpente un vero must di stagione che ricopre borse,cinte,giacche e pantaloni non vi resta che scegliere.
