Whiting & Davis Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch | Mesh and Snakeskin Printed Leather Handbag

Posted on: Nov 8

This Whiting & Davis handbag is just the sort of shiny thing that would attract a magpie. With its combination of gleaming brass mesh material and shimmery printed leather, the Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch is certainly no wallflower of a handbag.

It is, however, infinitely appropriate for cocktail parties and other dressy events where you can make a statement with gleaming accessories. To be honest, it's not really what I'm used to seeing from the brand since Whiting & Davis bags often have a vintage vibe. Some of the label's recent details have been veering toward the contemporary, though, and I'd place the Boa Foldover clutch somewhere in between the two extremes.

Snakeskin and other exotic prints are quite the rage right now, placing this handbag right on trend. The effect here seems to be more about the shimmer than the texture, however.

I always like a foldover bag design, but Whiting & Davis made this one ever more interesting by mixing up the materials. The top half, which displays the handbag's modern cutout handles but also folds down when used as a clutch, is constructed from the prismatic snake-printed leather. Underneath that, the bottom half is made from the brand's signature brass metal mesh material in solid black. Although I wouldn't call it a very versatile look, this Iridescent Boa Foldover Clutch could go a long way for party attire.
