Anya Hindmarch Calandra Frame Clutch

Every lady out there needs a little black clutch and a little black dress. These are integral parts of your wardrobe. Maybe your clutch is a small evening bag with a shoulder strap, but either way, you must have one. I seem to always be drawn to clutches. Maybe it is because I wish I were going out to more events or outings where I would need one. Regardless of the reason, I found myself looking at black clutches and being drawn to this one. The Anya Hindmarch Calandra Frame Clutch is simply done with shiny patent leather and tonal “gemstones” on the front. The push lock closure is made with silver hardware. On the inside there is one open pocket and suede lining. Simplicity with touch of style. Measurements are 13″W X 6″H X 2¼”D. For a very practical, functional, and beautiful clutch, the price is affordable. Via Saks for $430.










Microscopically fine detailing makes this clutch a piece worth mentioning. When designing this intricate clutch, Cavalli must have wanted to create a masterpiece and a talking piece. The Roberto Cavalli Laser Cut Clutch showcases a multicolor underside which is topped with a detailed gold laser cut leather design. Weaving, cutting, edging, and paying close attention to detail, the laser cut design seems to make lines that form a swirly pattern and even a beetle bug. There is a press stud fastening closure and an optional gold chain shoulder strap. This would not be an everyday clutch, not even a ‘nice dinner out’ clutch, but more of a once in a while at a huge Foundation Dinner or Gala piece. I’d take it to a black or white tie event and if the conversation turned to politics, which I despise, I’d take this baby out and try to get the table to talk about it. That would sure be a conversation starter, or killer, depending on the crowd. But this fine detailed bag is available for a decent price and has great measurements; 12 x 5 x 1.5.
