Top: Chloe, Felix Rey
Bottom: Kate Spade, Valentino
If you have a boring little black dress that you want to vamp up, get one of these giant bow clutches to make a statement, although I’m not sure what that statement would be. Bows are cute, don’t get me wrong, I think it looks really awesome on Hello Kitty. At first glance I thought maybe the Valentino bow clutch would be really great to liven up a formal event but then I came to my senses and realized how lame you would look having the bow extend out of the bag like it got unraveled. And don’t even get me started on the Kate Spade fuschia clutch that looks rubber. The Chloe gold bow is just tacky with the contrasting stitching on top of the distressed leather. I suppose the Felix Rey satin Lola is ok, only because I like the foldover style, but the bow with the one sash hanging down still doesn’t sit right with me. Valentino for $895 and Kate Spade for $245 both available at Neiman Marcus. Felix Rey for $200 at Shopbop. Chloe for $900 at Net-a-Porter
