Darby Scott‘s clutch is subtly glamorous in matte black python with a black onyx toggle closure. I don’t like bags with wrap around closure but in an evening clutch (you don’t need to get in and out as often as your day bag) it’s perfectly acceptable. I really like the contrast of the matte skin with the shiny black onyx, it’s so subtle but really makes the bag pop! Darby Scott uses only select center cuts of exotic skin and each bag is bench-made by skilled craftsmen ensuring both quality and craftsmanship. I have been buying so many colorful dresses that a gorgeous black clutch is just what I need! $1,595 at Darbyscott.com
Darby Scott Black Python Envelope Clutch
By Kelly Cook
I have nothing against matte python. The model is classic. Just wondering whether the snake skin likes the wrap around it,will it peel off or get marks of the closure? Then again-a clutch isn´t usually on heavy use. I checked the DS collection and it was mostly ok but IMO somehow the box shaped bags looked just a bit too perfect,thus lacking character and I didn´t like the baggish ones. My favorite was the brown(in the text:olive) alligator bag/clutch just because of the alligator and the color.
You know, I saw this at Bergdorf Goodman and the wrap is fairly loose. But as you said, a clutch doesn’t get as much use and abuse 🙂
she has a whole new collection of exotic bags that are not structured, it’s not available on the site yet…
The Darby Scott line has a new “O” clutch that is exquisite!
( it was featured in the NYT as the hope bag during the Obama inauguration).the gold ring lizard is so beautiful. btw…darby scott has beautiful jewelry on her site, but I don’t think they have it at Bergdorfs yet:)
