As others have stated, this is very large for a clutch--but not awkwardly so, and I think it still looks stylish and sophisticated. However, the gold color is very different from what's pictured: much lighter than advertised, which is disappointing since I bought it to match with some gold shoes to wear to a wedding. I'll probably keep it since it's a good staple piece, but be aware that the color isn't nearly as gold as pictured. Also, I think it's super weird that the gold purse comes with a chrome-colored chain. Luckily, it's made in a way that's easy to replace with another chain. I had an antiqued-look brass one around and it looked much better.
