Just wondered if you heard the flap re: MO carrying an alligator VBH clutch ($5950), while walking down a path, skirted by greenery in Russia. The VBH folks spotted it, hence she was called out, MO said they were mistaken, it was the $875 patent leather clutch (you would think they’d know).

I thought of this and also of the python (go look PETA before it disappears), VBH clutch she brought to the ballet in NYC before... which was also pricey.

Your mission, should you choose it, is to find the alligator and patent leather clutches at other times.

Courtesy of VBH The $5,950 shiny black manila alligator clutch, a smaller version is shown above, is part of VBH's Spring 2009 collection. Talk about luxury in the woods!

FLOTUS showed off her more expensive taste in fashion by carrying a $5,950 VBH black alligator manila clutch while strolling the wooded landscape outside of Moscow, Russia this week.

She flashed the shiny hand held clutch, while walking with her husband, the Kenyan Commie, during their meeting with Russian President Medvedev and his wife Svetlana. The shiny alligator bag is handmade in Italy by luxury leather goods company VBH, named after V. Bruce Hoeksema, a former colleague of Valentino.

It's part of the Spring 2009 collection and is currently sold at the VBH store in New York (there are currently two in stock) and Neiman Marcus.

While a rep for VBH would not confirm where FLOTUS purchased the bag, she could have picked it up in Chicago. Both Neiman Marcus and Ikram, her go-to boutique in Chicago, sell VBH goods. If you call, just tell them you want the black alligator clutch that FLOTUS carried in Russia. Their lips may be sealed by now, but they weren't until the WH denied it.

Betcha FLOTUS has the cheap 875.00 one on it's way so she can switch them out. Save the photo on your computer, view it in Photoshop, it is clearly the alligator for 5950. and NOT the plain black patent.

It's not the first time the FLOTUS has shown off a taste for pricier items. She wore a pair of $540 sneakers by French design house Lanvin at a D.C. food bank in late April then showed up in Paris with the same sneakers in green. On date night to NYC she wore 750. Jimmy Choo heels and all of those *little flats* you see she and the kiddies wearing, Lanvin's ballet slippers 500-800. a pair and she has dozens.

The J Crew crap fed to the sheople before he was elected was a joke. A joke to make them think FLOTUS was just like them. Now they can sit back, many unemployed and enjoy watching FLOTUS and the POS poser-in-chief elitist wannabes livin' high on the hog in their.... what was it POTUS called them?.... oh that's right... "their new digs". Surprised he didn't just say "da crib".Photobucket Photobucket
