This Alexis Hudson clutch is an antidote to all those purses playing it safe. The Bloom is a clutch that believes that too much isn’t enough.
The shape is simple enough, with its rectangular design and recessed zipper. But that’s about the only part of the Bloom which is low key. Curved swatches of snake print leather are overlaid to create a contemporary patchwork finish. The mushroom, tan, and dark blue shades work well together, but the python markings make it really busy. That’s why this clutch really doesn’t need the flowers which inspire its name. We recently saw Guiseppe Zanotti use similar zipper edged blooms on its wristlet. On that much simpler purse, they shone. But here they clutter an already crowded design.
The creamy colored interior comes as a shock after seeing the showy outside. The Bloom is lined with practical twill, but there’s nothing to rave about here. It’s long but slender, restricting us to evening essentials only.
The Bloom is the kind of clutch whose distinct looks will only appeal to certain girls. If it has stolen your heart, beware. Unless you pair it with a basic black ensemble, you’re going to look very busy!
