Vieta Julia Clutch | Studded Bow Decorated Leatherette Purse

Posted on: Nov 7

Vieta Julia Clutch Vieta proves that even a smattering of studs can be too much with this Julia clutch.

There's a lot of white space here, but that doesn't save the Julia. There may not be many studs, but their variety makes them appear overwhelming. We get silver and gold, pyramids and classic domed studs, all working together in perfect discord. The structured bows, naturally covered with more studs, really take things over the top for me. The Vieta seems so desperate to excite us that it simply looks desperate.

There are a few nice features though, so perhaps we shouldn't dismiss the Julia out of hand. Its dimensions are more generous than the average clutch, so if we pack it right we could carry it during the day or night. We don't need to carry it by hand either, as Vieta's added a wrist strap and a longer cross-body strap. This is made from soft leatherette rather than a traditional chain, so it should feel more forgiving on our shoulder.

The final selling point is the price, a very affordable $68. Personally I'd save up to buy something more timeless, but if you like studs and bows you'll be satisfied.
