    Michelle Obama Style: VBH Clutch

    By · On July 9, 2009

    While on a recent trip to Russia, First Lady Michelle Obama was photographed sporting a stunning little arm candy piece by luxury brand VBH.

    From the picture above, it appears to be the initially reported by VBH, $6,000 alligator manila clutch by the designer, but the White House said that’s incorrect. In fact it’s the exotics cheaper little sister, the croc-embossed patent leather version, which fetches a more reasonable $875.

      I’m not familiar with this designer, but from what I see
      I wouldn’t spend more than $200. Thanks for the deal alerts.

      I think hers is the real crocodile version. She can’t fool me
      :)
      She’s probably just saying that so people don’t get upset.

      I honestly don’t why people were freaking out when VBH came out and said it was a 6,000 clutch. I mean wth, if she has the money, and she obviously does, then why not.

      I recently bought an authentic used sequined sharkskin- type green BVM. I,too, had never heard of the brand much less could even find the brand name on the purse but after researching the purse, i saw the pic of First Lady Obama carring the same one in leather and even fell more in love.
      i’m really glad Michelle Obama dresses with class, style and eloquence regardless of expense. shes a great representative of the women in the U.S.A. Plus I’m sure after
      using a garment a few times, they are auctioned off for a good cause.
      i’d rather she NOT have a walmart price tag and upc number stickeing out of her sleeve!!!
