Inge Christopher Alexis Flap Clutch | Metallic Evening Bag with Chains and Crystals

Posted on: Nov 4

There are versatile evening bags that easily accessorize just about any party outfit, and then there are the ones that make you long for a party. This Inge Christopher Alexis clutch is just the kind of evening bag around which I would plan an entire outfit for an event and be itching to use.

It might not be as showy as some options like the La Regale Pleated Bow Clutch, but the Alexis flap clutch has some very unique details that set it apart from other evening bag choices. The metallic silver sheen on the delicately pleated silk-blend fabric isn't entirely uncommon for this style of purse. However, the extras are what kick it up a notch.

One side of the front flapover closure has been decorated with thin chains that have been artfully arranged in a surprisingly soft feature. The chains wind around large Swarovski crystals also set into the design. The combination of the metallic fabric mixed with silver chain and shimmering crystals sounds like it would be too overwhelming for one little clutch bag, but I actually love the way it comes together.

This slightly edgy Inge Christopher take on the evening bag retails for $198. It is also available in a similarly priced framed clutch style as well.
