A convertible clutch-bag having a top, a bottom, a front side and a back side, the top and bottom defining a height, the forward side and a rear side defining a length, the convertible clutch-bag comprising:
- a deformable skin having an outer surface, the outer surface including a first outward-facing face and a second outward-facing face, the first and the second outward-facing faces facing away from each other substantially perpendicular to the length and height;
- a personal item compartment within the deformable skin, the personal item compartment having a first outer side and a first inner side, said first outer side proximate the first outward-facing face, said first inner side distal from the first outward-facing face;
- and
- a shoe compartment within the deformable skin and adjacent to the personal item compartment, the shoe compartment reconfigurable between a compact state and an extended state, said extended state having a greater volume than the compact state, the shoe compartment having a second outer side and a second inner side, said second outer side proximate the second outward-facing face, said second inner side distal from the second outward-facing face;
- and
- wherein the shoe compartment is configured to fold upon itself such that a bottom portion of the shoe compartment in its extended state can be brought proximate its open top thus folding the shoe compartment into its compact state.
A convertible clutch-bag having a top, a bottom, a forward side and a rear side, the top and bottom defining a height, the front side and the back side defining a length, the convertible clutch-bag comprising:
- a deformable skin having an outer surface, the outer surface including a first outward-facing face and a second outward-facing face, the first and the second outward-facing faces facing away from each other substantially perpendicular to the length and height;
- a personal item compartment within the deformable skin, the personal item compartment having a first outer side and a first inner side, said first outer side proximate the first outward-facing face, said first inner side distal from the first outward-facing face;
- and
- a shoe compartment within the deformable skin and adjacent to the personal item compartment, the shoe compartment reconfigurable between a compact state and an extended state, said extended state having a greater volume than the compact state, the shoe compartment having a second outer side and a second inner side, said second outer side proximate the second outward-facing face, said second inner side distal from the second outward-facing face;
- and
- wherein the shoe compartment has a first length, and a compact height when in its compact state and an extended height when in its extended state;
- and
- wherein the personal item compartment has a second length and a second height, said second length and second height being substantially similar to the first length and the compact height of the shoe compartment, respectively.
