As a vintage junky, I love Lucite. I have to admit, however, that this Laura Matthews Designs purse uses Lucite to produce a bag unlike any I have seen before!
I think whilst the shape is relatively normal, it is the fabric that makes this stand out. It may be patent leather, but the deep gray shade of this glossy purse looks fabulously PVC, dahlings! Simultaneously as at home on the catwalk as in the red light district, I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. I think the scrunchy effect may be a step too far in the wrong direction; with the gray it looks like an elephant!
Enough insults, as I don’t actually hate this clutch. There are just a number of things that jumped out and needed to be said. What I do like, however, is that Lucite panel. The black makes a great contrast with the main patent body, whilst the material itself uses that wonderful matte plastic effect as well as expected. Essentially, that wonderful Lucite makes what could be tacky, classy.
All in all, despite initial reservations this bag has won me over. I may have fallen to the dark side, but for $110 I think it is worth it!
