You know how jeans go with everything? Well, hello, a denim clutch follows the same principle. Okay, I’m going to have to back-pedal a bit because I generally hate denim bags (that’s right, usually can’t stand them), but you can always make a hypocrite out of me if your design is good enough to overcome my bias.
Enter Yves Saint Laurent and their take on the usually dreaded denim bag. This is a fine dark denim so it has more polish than most and the bright-blue contrast stitching brings in even more of finished look (using true blue over denim blue acknowledges the jean material and puts a sophisticated spin on it). But none of that would matter without the bright-white center strap leading up to the logo hardware – this does the job and turns this into jean genius. I also love this size – 11” by 6.5” – slight enough to be demure, substantial enough to have room for real stuff. Even better, the clutch is not all denim; the gusset is also in contrasting white leather, for a super-amazing and fresh surprise. That’s how I like my denim: versatile as ever, with a side of luxe white leather. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $695.
Pair with: Rock this with one wild pair of white jeans. Isabel Marant keeps up with her casual-girl cool via these patchwork jeans, frayed to streetwise perfection. A pair of killer pointy heels, and you’re good to go. At Barneys New York for $815.
