I'm probably the last sort of person that Smythson want polluting their stores and it's true, I've never ventured into any of their stores or bought into the whole 'Oh my god!  You absolutely must have a Smythson diary.  It simply must be done!' thang....

However, I am rather smitten by their Nancy clutch bags that are made entirely of beautiful grosgrain fabric (I'm STILL stuck on the idea of dresses made completely of grosgrain....) with a quilted pattern and a large plastic frame that gives it a sort of bulbous shape that means it's slightly larger than an evening clutch.  If you covered up the Smythson logo at the bototm, I would not have guessed that these clutches hailed from this rather austere, British brand...  I'm not smitten by the price though of £425...

Still the image of those traffic light coloured grosgrain clutches has been haunting me and in a sort of clutch-search frenzy, I present you the second rate collages of traffic light clutches....

Etsy findings... Green suede clutch // Yellow embossed clutch // Red Yoryu fabric clutch

High street findings... Topshop green suede bow clutch // River Island yellow tasselled clutch // ASOS double zip red patent clutch

Mid range findings... Jocasi green envelope clutch // Camilla Staerk Saloon yellow clutch // Lorelei Sloan crinkle patent red clutch

Not a smidge of grosgrain to be found though.  Therefore, Smythson better have a jolly good sale....
