Balmain channels the 70s punk movement with this edgy Safety Pin clutch.
I’m not talking about that watered down Good Charlotte style pop punk that’s so prevalent today. This purse embodies all the rebellion of punk’s early days with its daring safety pin accented flap. Of course the safety pin has become almost a cliché of the punk movement, but as we rarely see this detail on purses it feels really fresh. I love the way the safety pins transform what is otherwise a fairly conservative envelope clutch into something more dangerous.
Don’t expect much more than what you see here though. The interior is minimalistic, and there isn’t a shoulder strap either. I don’t mind the simple main compartment, but I do miss the strap. This purse might be a fashion rebel, but there are times when it’s practical to toe the line.
And something tells me that real punks would reject the $1210 price tag. This movement is all about anti-consumerism and counter culture, so it seems hypocritical to charge a packet for the look.
