Two things that always stop in my tracks when I’m thrifting: sequin dresses and embroidery. I think my obsession with embroidery stems from my Arab roots and our traditional handmade dresses. When I was in Barcelona last fall, I spent hours in a two story vintage shop. Knowing I couldn’t fit much in my backpack (what was I thinking only taking a backpack?) I begrudgingly had to put things back. But the one thing I refused to let go of was this $10 clutch. It embodies everything I love in a bag: it’s versatile, colorful, and affordable. Here’s a round up of some of my favorite clutches around the web, all under $50.
