Follow usThomas Wylde Day of the Dead Clutch
Paula Thomas is at it again, bringing us yet another Thomas Wylde clutch with a skull theme. However, this time around she has put a little bit of a spin on the skull theme with the new Thomas Wylde Day of the Dead Clutch. This lovely clutch, named for the Mexican (and Latino) holiday that is celebrated by many people all over the world, is covered with tiny skull-shaped studs. This fold-over style clutch is composed of distressed black leather, something Thomas Wylde handbags are known for. What I find most interesting about this clutch, however, is the double chain strap. The two straps are separate from one another and completely removable. The straps are also of different lengths. So you can wear the clutch with two straps, one strap, or none at all.
When it comes to the Thomas Wylde Day of the Dead Clutch, I find myself having some mixed feelings. I love the simple, unstructured shape and the fold-over styling. I also like the tiny skull studs. But when I look at this clutch, I also think it could have been a little bit better. Instead of gold hardware, I would have liked to have seen this clutch with silver or gunmetal hardware. I’m not sure what it is, but for some reason, when I think of rocker-chic I think of black paired with silver or gunmetal hardware. But maybe that’s just a generation thing.
The Thomas Wylde Day of the Dead Clutch retails for $1,500. You can pick one up here at NET-A-PORTER.COM.

I was wondering, do you think this will ever go on sale?
I’ve never heard of this designer before. I love this purse though!!
This doesn’t look very Day of the Dead inspired to me.
I need to order this bag.
Oh cute. I love all the little skull studs.
Def, in silver would be smokin.
Thomas Wylde reminds me alot of McQ, only her bags are more amazing and are better wuality. The leather is so squishy and the skulls are so detailed.
Does this come in other colors?!?!?!?!
Perfect for halloween too.
I think this is really fun for that one occasion. Not really me though.
I agree about the silver hardware. I’m not a fan of gold.
I love the skull detailing, and the leather looks so yummy.
I love this.
Good news ladies! My dreams have been realized!
My good buddy Cassandra over at TBF found this clutch on another
website with silver hardware! I was so happy to learn that this
clutch DOES exist with silver hardware! WOOHOO!

.. haha. Too bad there isn't a silver version of this bag. darn, but I would take the gold! Also a gunmetal hardware one does sound pretty cool.
When I read the title of this thread my jaw dropped!! I love the Dia de los Muertos/Day of the Dead!! I even hosted a Dia de los Muertos party once.
I really like it, I love the little skull studs! ^^Also, congrats on the bracelet Jennifer, I thought it was so cute when I saw it in the other thread!
I am not into skulls and crossbones, but that is one cool looking bag!! I agree that it would look cooler with gunmetal hardware...
