Why reinvent the wheel? Charlotte Olympia’s Pandora clutch, made of clear plexiglass, isn’t your average see-through clutch. The box was a major cult hit when it was released in early spring, and I’m thrilled to see she’s sticking with her perfectly clear design, though not without a few exciting tweaks for the new season.
The original rendition came with three interchangeable pouches to use according to your mood and outfit. When necessity strikes and you don’t want to bare all (like say, a tampon), your bag lining is not only convenient, it’s a statement. The leopard and black remain the same but Olympia has switched out the gold leather for bright red – hot and festive for the holidays.
Another striking detail: the lotus clasp has been replaced with a spectacular little spider, adorned with crystals and complete with ruby red eyes (a subtle match for the red pouch) – I never thought I could love a spider so much. The insect comes as no surprise – each of Olympia’s shoes are imparted with her spider web logo.
Immaculate details (the inside chain acts as a doorstop to keep your goodies safe) and a revolutionary design – all you need to cover all of your clutch desires. On Net-A-Porter
Pair with: Mix your bewitching spider and crystal-clear box with black lace jewels. Bottega Veneta’s latest collection, including a spellbinding necklace ($3,350), chandelier earrings ($980), cocktail ring ($580), and big bangle ($4,380), is made of intricate oxidized silver.
