If you like the Kooba Penelope, pictured above in black patent, then you might like the Steve Madden Kooky. Both clutches have the same rectangular shape, center quilted band and polished silver turnlock clasp. The Kooky (yes, even the name is “inspired” by the original) is an alternative for those looking for a silver version of the Penelope which only comes in black, caramel or white patent. The Kooky is $88 while the Penelope retails at $295. The quality of the former is a bit spotty though so if you can wait until it goes on sale then it would be a real steal.
