Anya Hindmarch Large Louisa Patent Clutch | Sleek And Curvy Blue Patent Leather Clutch

Posted on: Mar 26

There's something about 80's retro-style nostalgia that I can really get into. Maybe it's how decadent and over-the-top the best of the 80's styles were, but I also think it's that decade really redefined casual night-out dressing. It really wasn't until then that you could wear jeans and heels to a nightclub, and who wants to remember a time before that?

Anya Hindmarch is not a designer I usually associate with retro styles, but this time she hit the nail on the head. This big blue patent clutch has "wear me with neon pumps" written all over it. Of course, it would also be fabulous as a pop of color to some more neutral tones.

The color of the Louisa clutch won me over immediately. This is the definition of electric blue. The shape of the bag is so simple, sleek, and voluptuous that it just begs to be held. And the giant blue gemstone on the front ups the glam factor a ton.

At 12" x 5" x 2", the Louisa is large, but not oversized. There's plenty of room for your essentials, and there's even an adorable separate press-stud purse on the inside for those crucial items like your ID and subway card.

I have been trying to find some fatal flaw in this bag, but honestly, I just don't see anything. The price, at $395, is high, but still reasonable for a well-constructed designer item.
