Celestina Roseanne Mosiac Box Clutch | Rare and Elegant Tiger Pen Shell Minaudiere

Posted on: Sep 1

Celestina's handmade clutches are some of the most extraordinarily crafted handbags I have ever seen. You can find them tucked into them palms of some the A-listyiest celebrities out there, like Halle Berry, and in the editorial spreads of every major fashion magazine.

This Roseanne clutch is definitely in keeping with Celestina's fabulous reputation. Each individual square is made of gorgeous and unique Tiger Pen Shell and mosiaced onto this beautifully-shaped box. The edges are accented with ebony, and the interior is lined with suede. Every tiny piece of this purse is impeccably curated, which makes it more like an art piece than a purse.

The natural variations in the Pen Shell give a lot of texture to the design, and the color range and pattern of their placement allows the organic luminosity of the materials to show through.

The small size means that it isn't the best clutch for toting out your whole cosmetic bag, but if you're carrying this baby, chances are good that you also went to the trouble of having your makeup done for you. Not that this clutch is exclusively for red carpet events. I can see it making a big splash for an uptown dinner date, as well.
