When I first saw the Betsey Johnson logo on this clutch, I had to do a double take to make sure I saw it correctly. I wouldn’t say that I don’t think of Betsey Johnson as a feminine; however, I just generally feel that her purses are a little more edgy retro than girly glam.
In complete contrast to the studded Rock Star Hobo, the Betsey’s Frill Clutch oozes with effeminate qualities, which I think makes it a perfect accessory for a girl’s night out. The soft leather folds beautifully on the front and back of the bag to create the pretty ruffles.
Of course, don’t expect it to be entirely made of sugar and spice. It is a Betsey Johnson, after all, and has other features that separate it from other ruffled leather bags like the SR Squared Ruffle Satchel. Although rock star studs aren’t anywhere on this clutch, the perforations in the ruffles and the rope-like trim add to the designer’s signature style.
Instead of having a detachable shoulder strap like so many other clutches, the Betsey’s Frill handbag has a wrist strap made from the same leather rope on the trim. It might not always be the most convenient way to carry a purse, but this clutch is petite enough to keep it from being too cumbersome. A horseshoe charm zipper pull completes the feminine yet funky look of this Betsey Johnson bag.
