Yes, at first glance this is just yet another metal mesh bag from mesh experts, Whiting & Davis. It is hard to get wildly excited about another clutch that follows the same traditional slouchy metallic shape with a formal frame clasp.
If you ignore the Whiting & David heritage, however, and see this bag as a pretty purse in its own right, then it doesn’t feel quite so “samey.” After all, the majority of bags on the market are still leather, so it is nice to see one that still lets you have a black bag with a metallic twist.
Especially nice, and proof of the company’s metal expertise, is the matte vs. shiny striping. As well as being visually pleasing for you to look at, it adds a certain art deco vibe that goes down well with plenty of smart evening outfits. The glam metal probably makes it too over-the-top for day wear, so at a posh event or urban club night this will look great.
Whiting & Davis are always great at adding in a handle to make your delicate clutch more functional. However, the handle added into this purse is in a chunky chain, which doesn’t work well with the light and feminine mesh pattern.
If you want a traditional mesh purse with a modern style, this purse will do you well, although it won’t revolutionize handbag design at all!
