Maison Martin Margiela goes rustic with this Glossy Wood Grain clutch.
At first I thought this purse was made of real wood, polished within an inch of its life to create that glossy surface. However it seems the label has fooled us, opting instead to apply a wooden-like finish to methacrylate PVC. While purists may prefer the real thing, it’s actually a smart choice. Genuine wood is prone to dents and dimples in time, but methacrylate PVC is tough as nails.
I never expect practicality in structured purses like this. They typically contain a single compartment which requires careful packing to hold even the essentials. But this one has a few surprising features which make it worth another look. There’s a zippered pocket and a pair of open pouches, as well as four slots for holding four vital cards. I wouldn’t say we’ve got a lot of space to play with, but at least our items will stay organized. The only obvious omission is a shoulder strap, although with a purse as smooth as this you shouldn’t mind holding it in your hand.
You’ll want to do it often to justify the extravagance though. At $1240.99, this is Maison Martin Margiela clutch is a real investment piece.
