I should admit right off the bat that I am in love with this bag. It’s definitely my favorite of the month, and it’s probably in my top three of the year. The reason is that it is both avant garde and wearable. It is minimal with fabulous details that make it really stand out.
The first thing that struck me about this clutch is Lim’s choice of materials. The main compartment is a softly textured black leather, but the front patch pockets are green and gold. This rich color combination is very subtle. The vibe of the bag stays dark, but has a very intricate color palette.
The design of this bag is extraordinary. As a clutch, it is a chic, modern accessory. But it doesn’t stop there. This bag unfolds to a full 11″ x 13″ size, with a convenient shoulder strap. And it looks great both ways! This is a major feat of design and technology, as far as I’m concerned.
It’s the green and gold front pocket details that do the trick, I think. That and the gorgeous geometric clasp. The bag unfolds to the bottom, so these become top details when the bag is carried as a shoulder bag.
I actually can’t believe the bag’s $425 price tag. This is two amazing bags in one for a super low designer price.
