I like smaller bags for the crossbody kind, so I really like it, but it's by no means a huge handbag or anything like that. Also, the color is more muted.
I took a photo of the two next to each other just so people can see.
The BCBG one would be good for a concert or somewhere where you need a bag that's easy to carry but will hold a wallet and a phone. It's pretty flat and compact, and the lining isn't thickly padded, but it's sturdy.
The clutch is more like a giant pouch with a zipper compartment inside and the lining is sooo nice. It's a pretty polka dot fabric. This is a big bag that would be good for traveling to put it in your suitcase, or take on the plane as a carry on purse because it can hold a bunch of stuff. I just really really wish it had a strap with it!
