Calvin Klein impressed me with the lush texture of its Rain purse. Now the label has done it again with the gorgeous finish of its Tree Bark clutch.
The name of this accessory is less enigmatic than the Rain. There’s no mystery about where the moniker comes from; the surface has a gorgeous crinkled texture which resembles the grain of a weathered old tree. The organic treatment of the leather is paired with an elegant silver frame and clasp. It all adds up to a look that’s incredibly chic and evening appropriate.
Not that this clutch couldn’t work double duty during the day, providing you know how to travel light. It’s not large enough to carry many of the items we now call essentials, but it would help to dress up a pair of dark denim jeans and a modern top. The chain strap also helps to give it that day to night versatility; I always love a hands-free option if I’m on the go.
That versatile styling may help those of us wavering about the $118 price tag. It’s not totally outrageous for a designer accessory, but it is a little pricy if it’s saved for special occasions.
