Whiting & Davis Lizzy Clutch | Metal Mesh and Lizard Embossed Leather Bag

Posted on: Nov 20

This Whiting & Davis design is truly a unique find. With its combination of texture, material, and vibrant color, the Lizzy Clutch makes for one fun, little evening bag.

The overall silhouette is fairly typical for a clutch. However, the structured and geometric v-shaped closure and bottom panel that meet in the middle combined with slightly gathered panels on the sides provides an interesting contrast.

It's the use of material that makes the Lizzy stand out, though. The sides are constructed with Whiting & Davis' signature metal mesh that gives the brand its undeniable vintage vibe. When that mesh meets up with lizard-embossed leather, however, the design takes on an appealing contemporary twist.

You can get the Lizzy Clutch in a neutral silvery gray, but the turquoise and hot pink choices definitely have more personality and really set of the contrasting textures. Plus, the pop of color is right on trend for cocktail parties and other dressy events this season. This Whiting & Davis handbag retails for $150.

More Features of the Lizzy Clutch

  • Measures 10.5 x 5.75 x 9 inches
  • Flap with snap closure
  • Optional chain strap

Whiting and Davis Striped Mesh Clutch | Contrasting Shine and Matte Purse

Posted on: Nov 18

Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp.

If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this bag as a pretty purse in its own right, then it doesn't feel quite so "samey." After all, the majority of bags on the market are still leather, so it is nice to see one that still lets you have a black bag with a metallic twist.

Especially nice, and proof of the company's metal expertise, is the matte vs. shiny striping. As well as being visually pleasing for you to look at, it adds a certain art deco vibe that goes down well with plenty of smart evening outfits. The glam metal probably makes it too over-the-top for day wear, so at a posh event or urban club night this will look great.

Whiting & Davis are always great at adding in a handle to make your delicate clutch more functional. However, the handle added into this purse is in a chunky chain, which doesn't work well with the light and feminine mesh pattern.

If you want a traditional mesh purse with a modern style, this purse will do you well, although it won't revolutionize handbag design at all!

More Features of this Whiting & Davis Contrasting Clutch:

  • Available in gold, silver or black
  • Signature lining
  • Optional chain shoulder-strap
  • Brass mesh exterior

Steve Madden Cookie Wristlet | Long Studded Turquoise Clutch

Posted on: Nov 14

Steve Madden goes more than a little bit disco with this brilliantly bright and studded wristlet.

It is nice to see a wristlet that is a decent size. They tend to be tiny, and sometimes it is good to have one that can fit more than a little cash and a tiny phone. Even better, this studded clutch still has that useful wristlet handle, making it easy to carry on a big night out.

The studs are great for the 80s trend that still seems to be sweeping the catwalk, although the look would be more vintage if the leather was black. As it is, the turquoise fabric brings the purse thoroughly up to date, even if it will coordinate with fewer outfits than black would!

The turquoise theme is carried on inside, but in a satin fabric. Unfortunately there is no convenient concealed strap to make life easier, but the smart materials and geometric stud work mean that if you like the looks you will make the effort to carry it around!

  • Faceted square decoration
  • Leather exterior
  • Matching satin lining

Guiseppe Zanotti Leather Clutch | Simple Diamante Square Purse

Posted on: Nov 13

This Giuseppe Zanotti brown leather purse proves that you can have a bit of glitz and glamour in a purse without having to go over the top. Balancing the incredibly luxurious leather with a touch of crystal glamour requires some serious design expertise, as you don't want that incredibly supple leather to go unnoticed.

I personally think that when it comes to how this square clutch looks, Giuseppe Zanotti has really hit the nail on the head. The scattered crystals glimmer but don't overpower, and the brown shade is unusual enough to make it stand out in a sea of boring chestnut or black. I do wish, however, that the designers had concealed the zip a bit more; if you are paying a lot for a purse, you need those extra special touches. And this bag, at $650, definitely counts as a lot!

The lining of this clutch is a little low key, in a simple beige shade with a simple signature pattern. A dark or contrasting lining would be nice, but I presume the brand wanted to keep the looks classy, calm and sophisticated.

Whiting & Davis Lotus Wristlet | Decorative Floral Mesh Clutch

Posted on: Nov 9

I always look forward to the next Whiting & Davis bag I see. No one else could do so many beautiful things with a simple metal mesh!

This little wristlet is a more delicate version of the Whiting & Davis clutches. Using nothing more complicated than a gentle lotus flower pattern, the silver mesh stands in elegant contrast with the black print. It is interesting that it is so beautiful; the metal is smooth and un-embellished, and that typical elaborate style of the brand is rather different to this simple wristlet.

That said, the delicate floral exterior is countered by the studded black leather wristlet. This little handle brings a punk biker edge to the purse, working that meeting of girly and butch to its most effective advantage. It contrasts dramatically (and not everyone will like it), but I think it works.

This metal clutch is meant to be small, but I feel that it is perhaps a touch too thin as well. After all, phones can be a little fat these days, and we don't want to have to leave it at home on our nights out!

More Features of this Whiting & Davis Lotus Clutch

  • Delicate floral pattern
  • Available in gold or silver
  • Brass mesh exterior
  • Signature interior
  • Leather wrist handle

Whiting & Davis Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch | Mesh and Snakeskin Printed Leather Handbag

Posted on: Nov 8

This Whiting & Davis handbag is just the sort of shiny thing that would attract a magpie. With its combination of gleaming brass mesh material and shimmery printed leather, the Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch is certainly no wallflower of a handbag.

It is, however, infinitely appropriate for cocktail parties and other dressy events where you can make a statement with gleaming accessories. To be honest, it's not really what I'm used to seeing from the brand since Whiting & Davis bags often have a vintage vibe. Some of the label's recent details have been veering toward the contemporary, though, and I'd place the Boa Foldover clutch somewhere in between the two extremes.

Snakeskin and other exotic prints are quite the rage right now, placing this handbag right on trend. The effect here seems to be more about the shimmer than the texture, however.

I always like a foldover bag design, but Whiting & Davis made this one ever more interesting by mixing up the materials. The top half, which displays the handbag's modern cutout handles but also folds down when used as a clutch, is constructed from the prismatic snake-printed leather. Underneath that, the bottom half is made from the brand's signature brass metal mesh material in solid black. Although I wouldn't call it a very versatile look, this Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch could go a long way for party attire.

More Features of the Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch

  • Measures 11 x 5.75 x 1.75 inches
  • Cutout handles with 1.5 inch drop
  • Foldover style
  • Retail price of $195

Inge Christopher Metal Mesh Clutch | Spacious Medieval Style Purse

Posted on: Nov 7

Inge Christopher takes the idea of mesh purses back to its medieval roots, with this wide spaced chain-link clutch.

Visually, this clutch is edgy and quite stunning. The metal is bigger and more dramatic than most mesh purses, in a stunning old-fashioned pewter metal shade. This chunky mesh is then in stark contrast to the luxury mesh strap, where the weave is much tighter and more elegant. Together they make a lovely contrast and emphasize the always luxurious materials of Inge Christopher purses.

Thankfully, you don't have to use the handle if you don't want to, and can use this purse as a clutch to accompany an elegant evening dress, or even to wear in contrast with biker leather and studs. Either way, this versatile purse can be delicate or bold depending upon what you wear it with.

That said, metal bags are somewhat limiting; they tend to be less comfy to carry and are a real nuisance when going though metal detectors! Even with that, however, and this purse actually has very little to complain about, from the spacious slouchy interior to the beautiful looks.

More Features of this Inge Christopher Chain-Link Purse

  • Dark pewter mesh exterior
  • Lighter silver mesh handle
  • Framed clasp

Whiting and Davis Crystal Stud Clutch | Decorative Rock Chick Mesh Purse

Posted on: Nov 6

Whiting & Davis knows how to do mesh well. The fashion house knows how to add color, shape, design, and have produced some amazing bags based on its heritage of simple mesh beauties. What always impresses me, however, is the label's ability to make each purse that little bit different from the last.

This small square clutch is a great example. Using decorative crystal studs, the company has imbued a vintage metal mesh bag with a new lease of life, bringing a hint of rock chick and a certain edge to the little purse.

With those studs added, the clutch somehow becomes something pretty and delicate, yet chunky and over-sized at the same time. Any red carpet outfit would look better with this on your arm, and carrying it is made easier by the delicate chain option. That said, this metal mesh clutch is somewhat wider that you would expect from a elegant purse. Whilst this may be practical, the shape from the side is rater cumbersome and a little disappointing.

As always, Whiting & Davis has produced a bag filled with character and metal expertise. The signature lining is a nice touch, but how much do you need to carry on a night out?!

  • Available in black, pewter or bronze
  • Brass mesh

Whiting & Davis Python Print Handbag | Contemporary Mesh Animal Red Shoulder Bag

Posted on: Nov 3

Whiting and Davis are taking a break from its traditional tiny timeless accessories to create something much more contemporary. But don't think this Python Print Handbag sees the fashion house abandoning its heritage altogether!

Whiting & Davis' trademark mesh is still a force, but the bold colors and python print pattern give the metal a more modern edge. The gleaming mesh is offset by glamorous black patent leather trim.

A polished patent belt encircles the bag, securing it shut with a turnlock closure. This feature hearkens back to the brand's vintage heritage, but when combined with the zippered top it makes the purse a little fiddly to get into. At least the safety of your essentials won't be an issue with these double security features!

The metal shell is lined with signature printed polyester to cushion your precious cargo. The mid-sized space is kitted out with a zippered pocket and two bellowed pouches to help keep the purse free of clutter.

This python bag represents a break from tradition for Whiting & Davis, and one I'm not sure whether its loyal fans will embrace. Although I'm confident the brand will win some new admirers with this walk on the wild side!

More Features of This Whiting & Davis Mesh Shoulder Bag

  • Silver-toned hardware
  • Flat bottom with metal feet
  • Double chain-link shoulder straps with padded leather grips and a 9 inch drop
  • Measures 12 x 6.5 x 8 inches
  • Available in red, blue, and brown

Coloriffics Metallic Glittery Clutch | Smooth, Modern and Affordable Purse

Posted on: Oct 29

What with the Christmas party season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start stocking up on your glitter.

If you want to own a clutch that is glittery and metallic without spending too much money, then this little purse form Coloriffics is a snap at $38 in either gold or silver.

This Coloriffics metallic clutch is a basic bag. You aren't paying for luxuries, and as such you get a simple lining, single ineffectual slide pocket and an optional chain handle. These fulfil their purpose, but are unlikely to last several seasons.

If you are looking for a cheap and cheerful Christmas purse, this will do fine. The look is stylish, the cost is low even if the quality isn't quite up to snuff!

  • Optional chain strap
  • Frame in matching hardware
  • Also available in gold
