Alexander McQueen $2,295

I recently had an assignment at my internship that involved researching high-end gift ideas and naturally, my search led me to this gorgeous plexiglass clutch. I came across this Alexander McQueen purse and I immediately fell in love. This purse is made of molded plexiglass and it is topped with a Swarovski-embellished gold clasp. The clasp has a skull inside of a blooming iris flower. A perfect blend of gothic-chic and glamour, this purse is sure to be a stand-out. It retails at a hefty $2,295, but a girl can dream right?

Just as expensive, here are a few other standout plexiglass purses (and see where we first featured the Charlotte Olympia Pandora clutch!):
