Have you had enough color-blocking to last you a lifetime? Same here. It’s suddenly refreshing to see a traditional color-pairing: Bottega Veneta’s dreamy combo is a real classic in the truest sense of the word. So classic, indeed, this sumptuous clutch that marries gold leaf-like metallic and ice-creamy off-white leather transcends time periods. Fit for a contemporary Cleopatra, this could be from any era (but I’m glad it’s here now).
The smooth, rounded turn-lock closure introduces modernism, a witty counterpart to a semi-ornate border, which frames the contrasting leather like a beaming ray of light. Not only does it have enticing looks, this is an all-around functional clutch (with a zipper compartment and more room than you’d expect), one for all seasons, as well as all day long. At Barneys New York for $1,400.
Pair with: Feel especially regal when you add Marni’s gold-tone, crystal, resin, and black wood brooch. Slick, Art Deco-inspired style with a touch of golden sparkle. On Net-a-Porter
