So much for not buying from JCrew anymore. I bought an envelope clutch for less than $30 including tax at the Pasadena store. Just goes to show that resolutions about buying quality items can go right out the window at the right combination of price and quality. The pebbled leather is good, as good as most middle range brands like Marc by Marc or Kate Spade, but mainly I thought it was a fair amount to spend on a wacky color combination in a sedate shape.
