Kate Spade Seersucker Vionette Purse | Patent Leather Convertible Clutch

Posted on: May 31

Kate Spade Seersucker Patent Vionette Convertible Clutch Wowsers, those are some blinding stripes! This is a handbag-meets-visual-illusion, and it manages to kind of work.

The Seersucker Vionette clutch steps away from Kate Spade's typical retro style. Don't get me wrong, this is still retro, but rather than paying homage to the quaint and cutsey 50s, this is edgier. More steampunk, less Little Bo Peep. It wouldn't look at all out of place with a pair of striped punky jeans and a band shirt, yet at the same time the striped patent leather is simple enough to easily pair up with very smart work wear and tiny pinstripes.

With a bold design like this fold-over purse, versatility is key. You can have the boldest brightest and most fabulous purse in the world, but if you can only wear it once every 25 years you probably aren't getting your money's worth. I may be challenged for this by pattern-clashing haters, but I actually think this leather clutch could work with plenty of different styles, albeit rarely in a subtle manner.

If spectacular monochrome is too dramatic for you then there is a softer pink and white option, but personally I think the bright contrast of this clutch is what really sets it apart from the crowd.
