Santi Zip Rose Clutch | Surprisingly Elegant Peach Evening Bag

Posted on: Jun 3

Santi Zip Rose Clutch Using zips as decorative features tends to go one of two ways. It either looks a bit trampy and unnecessarily try hard, or it looks edgy and streetwise. Interestingly, this Santi clutch doesn't come across as either!

The zip edged roses lining the top of this satin clutch actually manage to just look ... well ... pretty! Santi has avoided all the pitfalls, I reckon, purely through a smart color choice. The peach fabric is summery and obviously on trend (and by far the best color of the four on offer), but it has kept the contrast between the fabric and the metal teeth minimal by coordinating the bronze. It seems more like a cohesive whole than it otherwise would, and looks pretty and interesting rather than a little bit ridiculous.

As for the rest of this purse, well it is pretty and cute. The folds of satin are luxurious, and the look will work well with a pretty dress. It is much appreciated that Santi has added a chain strap for when you get tired of clutching it, and the interior is spacious if a little sparse on pockets for cards and change.

All in all, this is a pretty evening bag, but I'm not sure its design quite justifies the $215 price tag. However, if this is the perfect shade of peach for you (and we all know how hard that can be!) then you might want to shell out!
