It's definitely not a practical purchase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624329 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:47:03 +0000 Mochi 1624329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. Ok, you did not ask for my opinion but I will give it this once (obviously feel free to ignore it).&nbsp;</p> <p>It is an adorable and visually striking clutch. But as I think about it...it's only being shown EMPTY. It's transparent, so it looks like water or ice. If you take it out into the world and use it, all your stuff, cell phone, wallet, etc is going to be visible inside there. How do you think that will impact the effect? (On edit: Arrgh, it IS so cute. I would probably still want it.)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624323 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:41:53 +0000 Mochi 1624323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is absolutely true. I just hate to see you suffer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624322 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:40:24 +0000 catgirl 1624322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, thanks. I looked too and I can't. Ever since the Missoni for Target debacle where everything ended up on EBay I refuse to buy from sellers who turn a ridiculous profit that way. I get that it's the free market, but it actually is a good reminder that I really don't NEED anything material that much. it's a plane ticket to Hawaii.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624317 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:34:28 +0000 Mochi 1624317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Una. I was just on eBay. You are not going to like hearing this, but my suggestion is that you consider buying the clutch at its inflated price. Cut back on spending elsewhere to make up for it. If you're that unhappy about losing it, you might be better off biting the bullet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624313 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:27:34 +0000 Angie 1624313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This TOTALLY works with your style persona, Una. Hope you can track down the polar bear clutch that was meant to be.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624286 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:43:30 +0000 Anonymous 1624286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sort of knew you liked fun bags, but didn't realize it was a 'thing' for you.<br />That's kind of a neat shadow style. A great way to have fun with fashion.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've felt some despair about missing out, but the things I like are not all that unique, so I think the feeling is probably less intense than yours!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624272 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:21:33 +0000 Rambling Ann 1624272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you find it...I am into the clear 1950s lucite handbags. Apparently one of the marketing sales points was that you lined it with a handkerchief in a color that coordinated with your outfit. An ice blue silk scarf would look smashing to wrap up the random stuff that goes into a clutch in use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624265 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:10:24 +0000 Janet 1624265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. I had a moment of lust when I spotted the KS radio clutch but just can't justify that price for something so impractical to my life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624223 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:04:39 +0000 viva 1624223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the polar bear ice clutch, and I know that feeling of despair. I feel you, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624179 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:29:42 +0000 Anonymous 1624179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that bag, Una! Hope you find one. And you're definitely not alone: I was more than appropriately sad when the Tasha fish clutch sold out at Nordstrom, yet I usually have no remorse with missed purchases, even things I've been madly stalking. I'm a fairly classic dresser, but feel disturbingly drawn to cute animal items. I try to avoid actual clothing items, they tend to be wardrobe orphans or look way too young on me. But show me a bag with a kitten or puppy on it and I go weak at the knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624155 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 11:14:52 +0000 Style Fan 1624155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am tempted by it too.&nbsp; Great for an evening out bag.&nbsp; My dog looks like a little polar bear.&nbsp; Sometimes a little cuteness amongst the Rock and Roll works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624127 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 07:10:17 +0000 catgirl 1624127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes i am looking for the clear ice clutch... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624125 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 07:07:40 +0000 Bijou 1624125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you find it, the bag is stunning.&nbsp; I have had to stop looking for it on websites as I am tempted to buy the silver polar bear bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624124 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 07:06:58 +0000 catgirl 1624124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies (and other half Natalie!). Ha, a YLF bag sharing program would be the best! I called Macy's and Kate Spade and both said it's out of stock. I will keep checking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624122 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 06:54:39 +0000 JAileen 1624122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cute, but I don't know - it reminds me of the clear bags SAs have to use. I guess it depends on what you might need to put in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624120 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 06:48:48 +0000 JAileen 1624120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, ok. But it's avilable on the Kate Spade website:</p> <p><a href="https://www.katespade.com/products/caution-to-the-wind-polar-bear-on-ice-clutch/PXRU6184.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.katespade.com/prod.....U6184.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624115 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 06:21:41 +0000 goldenpig 1624115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No that's the fuzzy polar bear cross body that I posted in my outfit WIW. The one Una wants is the polar bear clutch, the see through one that looks like a polar bear on a chunk of ice. I had ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet. Una is right, I can't find it in stock anywhere online anymore. I still think it's worth a call to Kate Spade or Macy's though to check in-store stock! Sometimes when things go on sale they end up shipping all their stock to the Kate Spade outlet, that might be another place to call/check.</p> <p>Una I'm so sorry you couldn't find the clutch in stock! I totally understand getting fixated on something though when you finally decide you want it and it's no longer available. That happens to me a lot too. I have been known to call every Anthro store to check if they have something in stock before. And the oxblood Burberry bag I got the last one in stock in the nation at Nordstrom--the SA had to call around to several stores to find one.</p> <p>And we totally are two sides of the same coin--my shadow style is UWP and yours is Kate Spade. I love whimsical accessories, especially if animals are involved. And seems like we own a lot of the same stuff, like the Brahmin stripe satchel and the R2D2 bag.</p> <p>Don't worry if you can't find it. If you ever need the polar bear clutch for a special occasion, I'll send it to you so you can borrow it! We need some sort of "my YLF sister's closet" reciprocal borrowing app! I would love to play around in yours and lot of other YLFer's closets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624101 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 05:08:55 +0000 JAileen 1624101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the same thing?

I think it would be nice for going out or a party. What about the one that looked like ice? I still love the Judith Leiber polar bear. It's not available anymore. I think I first saw it over 20 years ago. If it were available, it would be too expensive, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624087 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 04:25:13 +0000 rabbit 1624087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's still saying 'in stock' for me on the Macy's website and lets me add it to my cart (just to test -- I emptied it again) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bag-trauma-and-a-lightbulb-moment#post-1624077 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 04:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 1624077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right that it would be a perfect conversation starter for you.
