After the blatant negativity of yesterday’s Sass & Bide blog, I’ve come up with the bag bargain to end all bag bargains today.

Browsing racewear site Madaboochoo just now, I came across this Cam Red Duo clutch purse, marked down to just $25 from $39.30.

It isn’t the biggest clutch bag in the world, measuring in at just 23cm long, but if you can streamline your possessions enough to cram them all in then it would be perfect for a day at the races or even a night out. In fact it could almost pass as a large wallet.

I love the old-timey fabric and colours too - red, champagne and gold.
