When a skin looks this good, it doesn’t need any embellishments. Meet the minimalist, and very chic, Gabrielle clutch from Jalda.
With its tiny scales, lizard is a much more subtle alternative to crocodile or snakeskin. The Gabrielle isn’t made from real lizard though, but a convincing embossed leather. This won’t impress animal lovers, who are likely to begrudge any loss of life, but it does keep the price down a more palatable $205. It also means the purse is likely to last longer than most embossed synthetics.
Honestly, I don’t care what a purse is made from when it looks this lovely. The emerald green shade is sexy and reptilian, although the Gabrielle is also available in smoke gray, red, and black if this tone doesn’t rev you. The leather is only embellished by a gently curved flap and golden button. Honestly, it doesn’t need anything else. That skin and the purse’s retro lines speak for themselves.
The fairly sedate color palette is matched by a brightly toned inner lining. The interior is fairly roomy but not unmanageable, which is good thing too because we don’t have a shoulder strap to help us out. I think this purse is a little too large to be without a pocket, but I’m willing to overlook it for those lovely clean good looks. But the big question is, are you?
