J. Tiras Audrey Clutch | Sophisticated Satin Bow Evening Purse

Posted on: Apr 26

J. Tiras was clearly inspired by Ms Hepburn when it designed the Audrey clutch. Just like its Hollywood namesake, this is a purse that combines elegant style and trendsetting design.

It's a hard balance to achieve, but one that J. Tiras makes look easy, as Hepburn herself did. Just like any Hepburn ensemble, J. Tiras pairs clean lines with a quirky detail. The traditional frame clutch is a classic match for the less than traditional bow. This modern reinterpretation is something new, but not so outlandish as to alienate an audience. It pushes the envelope just far enough.

The interior is small, but serviceable. It's longer than the average, so you might be able to squeeze a few items inside that you usually leave at home. Having said that, don't push the Audrey beyond its limits. The kiss lock closure will simply pop open if it's overstuffed.

I have a love/hate relationship with chain straps. They're par for the course on clutch bags; delicate enough to work with an evening ensemble but never comfortable on bare shoulders. But I'm a little more enthusiastic about this one than usual. Rather than a traditional chain, J. Tiras has used a more intricate design to add a little more style.

Thankfully we're not paying through the nose for those lovely looks though. The J. Tiras Audrey is available for just $90.
