Anya Hindmarch is on a roll as far as clutches are concerned. Her toned-down, feminine glam style is really coming through on all her designs this season. This Valorie clutch is a great example of Hindmarch at her best.
The simple fold-over design of this clutch is classic and elegant. Honestly, it reminds me of the clutch my favorite Barbie carried, and that makes it that much cooler to me. The reason why it looks so familiar to this child of the 80s is that its shape and material make it look totally disco.
The pleated gold satin has an amazing sparkle to it, but isn’t overpowering, like so many sparkly bags. The pleating on the Valorie gives it a fabulous texture and dimension. It’s a little bit flashy, sure, but still totally elegant and streamlined.
The small size is convenient for evening wear. It isn’t that practical in terms of volume, but it doesn’t really need to be. This just isn’t the kind of bag that you bring when you need an arsenal of supplies. It’s the kind of clutch you carry on the red carpet or with expensive jeans to art openings.
The design of the Valorie is spot on and the price isn’t bad, either. At $440, it certainly isn’t cheap, but it’s on the low end of designer evening accessories. Hindmarch has really made a winner this time.
