Celine Gemmium Corset Clutch | Bold Convertible Retro Satin Fuchsia Purse

Posted on: Nov 22

This sassy Gemmium Corset clutch from Celine is the ideal antidote to all those prim and proper evening purses.

The basic flap design and satin fabric is classic, but what sets the Gemmium Corset clutch apart is the treatment after that. Instead of reserved black or ivory, this purse comes in shocking fuchsia pink. Faceted pink and purple stones are just as daring with their silver accents. The look screams 1980s, which is still right on trend.

The Gemmium Corset clutch is larger than most evening bags, giving you space to carry a few extra cosmetics and a small mirror for touch-ups. With the extra space on offer, I don't mind the tuck-away chain. Ordinarily I'd hope for a removable strap to avoid the clutter, but this purse is big enough to handle it.

The $1470 retail value seems a little steep for an accessory without timeless looks on its side. Who knows how long the 80s trend will last after all? But if you've fallen for it anyway, at least you know your money will buy high quality craftsmanship.
