Matt & Nat Kala Clutch | Edgy Black Vegan Leather Purse

Posted on: Oct 22

No red carpet glamourpuss, the Kala clutch from Matt & Nat is all about punk rock attitude.

When it's a Matt & Nat original, you know you're not going to get calf or lamb skin, but the brand's all-vegan fabric is a pretty nice substitute. The pewter version is too glitzy for my tastes, but I love the edgy appeal of this black bag. It makes the gunmetal zips and rivets up front look just a little more rock and roll. But those zippers aren't simply for aesthetics. They open to reveal secure pockets which help the clutch work overtime.

The Kala is on the oversized side, which makes it a viable option for a day out or a night at the club. There's a lot more space than we usually see in a clutch, and a secure closure (zippered of course) for your peace of mind. The spacious size is a bit of a double-edged sword though. There's no strap or handle, so you'll need to carry this clutch the old-fashioned way. You might not mind that at first, but if you've got a lot of errands to run or a big night on the dance floor planned you may want to think twice.

The $185 retail value seems a little steep for a non-leather clutch, but its everyday versatility might make it worth a splurge.
