JJ Winters Rhino Clutch | Silver Three Zipper Purse

Posted on: Jun 3

JJ Winters delivers a clutch with edge in this Rhino bag.

While many designers are adding attitude through studs and grommets, JJ Winters prefers zips. That's nothing new; we saw the designer play with the hardware on the suede multi-zip bag. But while the zips appeared awkward there, here it all comes together. That makes the Rhino more than just flavor of the month; I imagine it'll look just as fresh next year, and the one after that.

It's a good thing too, because this Rhino clutch definitely isn't cheap. I hesitate to spend more than $100 on these tiny purses, so the $305 retail value well and truly exceeds my dream budget. And for that we don't even get a shoulder strap! But perhaps I shouldn't dismiss it so hastily. After all, it's made from real leather in a lovely silver hue; the shade pops, but it's not as glitzy as so many metallics are.

This is the kind of clutch I can imagine rocking at any time of the day; it'll add edge to a little black dress or vamp up a casual T-shirt and jeans. It's big enough to suit that all-day application as well, even though the lack of strap could see it become unmanageable when loaded up.

This Rhino Clutch definitely has staying power, if your budget can handle it.
