Carlo Fellini has tweaked the classic satin clutch purse to create the Monica. The style is traditional to be sure, but it’s those individual touches that make all the difference.
The beautiful satiny body is tightly pleated to create dramatic waves and texture. These tiny pleats take the traditional satin body to a new place, and one that’s much more luxurious. This is offset by the frame. Ordinarily this would be another traditional feature, a vintage touch which is lovely but not very interesting. Not so here, where rows of tiny beads add more modern elegance.
The choice of shoulder chain or shorter wrist strap is another unexpected addition. I generally consider myself lucky if my clutch comes with one hands-free carrying option, so it’s a real bonus to find two. Each is detachable too, so when they’re not in use the design looks clean.
The interior is small, but that’s not altogether unexpected. It is rich though, with satin lining continuing the illusion of luxury. I say illusion, because despite its lovely countenance the Monica isn’t a snooty socialite. At just $50, she’s quite commonplace. But looking at her, you’d never know. I won’t tell if you won’t!
