KC Malhan Athena Clutch | Black Beaded Evening Purse

Posted on: May 19

KC Malhan Athena Clutch I'm not sure it's appropriate for a Greek goddess, but KC Malhan has created an elegant and affordable clutch in the Athena.

The black beaded body of this simple flap clutch is quite beautiful. Those beads will catch the moonlight, glimmering with more subtlety than sequins. Black can be a bit boring, but the beads give the neutral shade texture and drama. It's also a very smart shade as it's easy to coordinate with almost anything you want to wear on an evening out.

But there's a fine line between minimalist and boring, and KC Malhan may have crossed it here. I'm sure the real Athena would have wanted to carry something much more glamorous and eye-catching than this clutch.

But let's remember, Athena would have had riches at her disposal. If you're a bit more skint, you'll welcome this Athena's $32 price tag. That bottom line doesn't buy us one of those handy chain straps, but it does afford a hardy purse with more space than the average evening bag and a zippered pocket to boot. It might not be luxurious, but this Athena purse is excellent value for girls on a budget.
