Alexis Hudson Martini Wristlet | Unique Pleated Leather Clutch

Posted on: Oct 29

This Martini wristlet from Alexis Hudson is quite the opposite of the similarly named Martini Glass zippered bag from SR Squared by Sondra Roberts. Whereas the Sondra Roberts version opts for a literal take on the name, Alexis Hudson's styling is much more abstract.

The Martini wristlet has a unique sculptural quality to it that gives it a sophisticated feeling. The chocolate brown leather keeps the style from being too formal, though. It isn't the type of bag you'd carry to the gym, but it's a great accessory for dressing up a cute girl's night or date outfit.

The large pleated detail on the front of the wristlet is soft and pretty, but it's the structured, wing-like wrist holder that's the real eye-catcher. I'm not sure how awkward it would look to carry the Martini bag as a clutch in your hands as opposed to with the wrist feature, though.

This Alexis Hudson design's zippered top opens to a twill-lined interior with a slip pocket for small items. The Martini wristlet retails for $295, which seems a little steep for a somewhat limited bag but worth it if uniqueness is your main goal.
