Clutch catastrophe! Help!

Possibly a slightly over-dramatic start!
My daughter's prom is coming up.
She's 14.
It's a BIG deal!
She has the dress.(sale last summer) She has the shoes.(Christmas)
Her birthday is next week and the only thing she has asked for is a clutch bag to go with them.

She particularly loves the dainty, glittery, sparkly kind.

However - she has some stipulations, and this is where I'm struggling.

  1. She has to be able to fit her phone in - she has a Galaxy Note 2 - not so much a phone as a mini tablet.This is causing the main problem!
  1. It must have a shoulder chain/strap so she doesn't have to hold it in her hand the whole time.
  1. It has to match the dress (obvs!) - photo attached.

I have scoured the internet and even went into ACTUAL shops at the weekend, but have had no luck finding one.

If anybody can help me find THE perfect sparkly clutch bag before next weekend, I shall be eternally grateful!

This. Alexander McQueen design. It's a bit edgy, but a teenager might love that.

Ok,

Not a big problem - I have loads of clutches and all would fit a mini tablet.

What colour are you looking for? The dress photo looks sort of ivory / light gold on my screen, what colour are the shoes?

Are you looking for a matching clutch or a contrasting one?

If the dress is light gold then a darker gold would look great imho for a clutch for example.

Tell you daughter that I agree with her and all my clutches have a shoulder strap - I think that is a perfectly reasonable request.

Ill be back with some options
