Dareen Hakim may be a newcomer in the bag world but it is obvious she is an old soul. Others put their heart on their sleeve, she has put hers on her clutch. These amazing clutches have messages of love, laughter, happiness and strength boldly engraved in Arabic on plaques. No, they are not subtle and nor should they be. I love the messages but I love the striking fashion statement they make even more! A clutch with an oversize plaque could go terribly wrong but on a simple shape and the soft satin finish of brass, it just perfectly hits the spot. They come in selected colors and leather finishes, and with each you can choose the message your heart desires, or perhaps, in need of. The price is also right, at $295 it is a bargain to have style, inspiration and functional all in one! I’m getting mine in Antique lambskin with the message “Live and Laugh”, because when it comes right down to it, that’s all we have. Available at Dareen Hakim online.
