DIY Stella McCartney inspired chain clutch

While web browsing, I came upon Stella McCartney's line of chain bags and clutches that are classically modern.  I love the simplicity of  the bag with the added chain to give it a bit of personality.  In addition to loving the bags, McCartney's goal of producing cruelty free fashion is admirable but also leaves me a bit confused.  Although the construction is beautiful the price tag of $671.00 for 100% polyester is mind boggling.  Considering I know how much high end amazing polyester costs, this price cannot be justified.  So on to a DIY!

           Leather sewing needle
           Waxed thread
           Wire cutters

  7. I saw one of her chain bags in TJMaxx, I love the detail. You definitely give her a run for her money with this DIY. I would try it but I don't think my sewing machine can handle leather.
