If you’re a serious film buff, these [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks)-inspired movie slate clutches might be the perfect glam accessory for your wrist.

Fashion designer Charlotte Olympia created these gorgeous [retro film-inspired patent leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn) Lights! Camera! Action! clutches to look just like a director’s slate. Created with a mixture of white and black patent leather, this movie clutch is shaped just like a traditional film slate. For a little bit of personal flair, Charlotte Olympia used white thread to mimic chalk and embowered the words ‘Charlotte Olympia’ in the director slot. Charlotte also ingenuously put the date, scene and take slots in as clutch’s release date: 2013/7/1.

With a tiny 6.5 by 8.5-inch size, a wrist band and a gold zipper, this movie slate clutch is perfect to carry all the essentials, and sleekly hang off of any wrist.
