Mulberry’s Willow is the ultimate office to evening accessory – namely because it’s two in one (a work tote and an envelope clutch)! Sometimes a bag needs more flash for me to fall in love, yet here the function is what has me oohing and ahhing. Bring the tote to work, then at the end of the day, remove the front pouch with a couple of quick zips and you’re ready to play.
You’ve heard that good things come in small packages countless times, and it goes for bags just as much as it does for presents (diamonds…duh!). But Lanvin’s latest minaudière is so scaled-down it might have you pondering, “clutch or hanging flask?” But don’t try to fill this precious number with booze.
This may not be fun Marni, but the brand’s serious side is just as desirable (and even more wearable). A structured tote like this is perfect for everyday wear, and still oozes personality from its bi-color combo to its removable straps. The bag updates the black and white look with tan piping, softening the style to ensure maximum versatility even once the graphic trend passes.
There’s not a bit of logo or lettering to be found, but this clutch has my name written all over it. The color palette! The exotic skin! The roomy size that’s perfect for day and the sleek shape that translates right into night!
If there is one breed of bags worth collecting and then placing behind glass like precious ornaments in a museum, it might be Alexander McQueen’s ever-expanding, increasingly opulent, petite yet potent knuckleduster clutches.
