Laura Matthews Designs Colorblock Clutch | Smart Sixties Style Bright Purse

Posted on: Dec 27

Laura Matthews decides that bright colors are the very best thing to fight off the winter dullness. Perfect for wearing through the dark of winter and in the sunshine of summer, this is a versatile, cross-seasonal clutch.

The Colorblock clutch is, perhaps, a trend of last year. Nowadays block colors have been replaced with blacks and studs and velvet. That said, that shouldn't mean that we don't have any fun, and this could look great teamed with some of those body-con dresses that are still all the rage.

Whilst the exterior is bright and fun (and strangely British), the interior steers clear of brights and opts instead for plain white with a coordinating trim. Perhaps the designer is attempting to avoid being too bright, but I actually think white just adds yet another colour that makes the overall purse somewhat confused.

As long as you ignore the lining, however, then this purse is lovely, and more than a little over the top. Which, to be honest, is exactly what we need when cheering up is the name of the game. It may not come with a useful handle, but it terms of good looks over practicality this is a great conversation starter.
