Kenneth Jay Lane has always had a taste for the kitsch, embellishing its purses with slithering snakes and snapping alligators. But with the Flor de Mayo, the designer plays it relatively safe.
The pretty flower, crafted from enamel, is a much more traditional accent than any scaly reptile. The look is luxurious, with each petal trimmed in gold and an ivory pearl dotting the center. The bloom sits in the center of the flap, dressing up the fairly plain envelope style.
Modern girls may lament the lack of shoulder strap, but at least the Flor de Mayo clutch is slim enough to easily fit in your hand. Of course that limits storage space, but it wouldn’t be the first clutch which asked us to travel light. A vanity mirror is tucked inside the interior pocket, perfect for those cosmetic emergencies. You won’t have the space to carry your entire makeup kit, but some powder and gloss should have you looking fabulous in no time.
This pale eggshell blue shade is unexpected and lovely. I can just imagine pairing it with other pastels, or watching it pop against a little black dress. If you’d prefer a more traditional party look though, the Flor de Mayo is also available in glitzy gold and basic black.
