Measuring at a height of 12 centimetres and a width of 17 centimetres, this crocodile jewel clutch by Giuseppe Zanotti embraces opulence. The ornate accessory piece is made from fine nappa leather and features a detachable chain shoulder strap that transforms the bag from clutch to carry-all.

The black and gold accent piece is a guaranteed [conversation piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statement-bags) and is a great way to enhance a simple little black dress look. In addition to its sleek fold frame and clasp closure, the clutch's focal point is an oversized crocodile accent that is a nod to Old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection) glamour.

This crocodile jewel clutch features a [crystal-accented applique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peroni) that is nothing short of show-stopping. Embracing an aesthetic that screams "More is more", the italian-made accessory epitomizes Zanotti's ornate aesthetic.
