Phillip Lim’s recently released 3.1 line of handbags is already turning heads, and while it has not yet hit celebrity bag status, I have no doubt that the Medwin oversized clutch will make its way to the red carpet sooner rather than later. It’s definitely looking towards the trend of the extra-large clutch, and it pulls it off in classic style.
The multi-colored layers of plum, red, and tan crinkled patent leather give the Medwin a polished graphic art appeal, and add dimension to the flatness of the bag. The neutral tan base color really makes the rich hues of the red and purple pop, and the jewel-toned palette is definitely of the moment.
The 12.75″ x 7.5″ x 1″ size makes the Medwin generous enough to take to the office filled with the daily essentials, although at its slim 1″ width you might really have to slim down your idea of what’s essential. And for night, this is definitely a great go-to bag for dressing up your jeans or dressing down your evening gown while still being able to hold more than just your compact and keys.
The sleek patchwork patent of the Medwin also makes it a little sturdier than your average evening bag, which is crucial, considering its size. Another bonus of the clutch is that each flat top-closure opens onto its own pocket, which will allow you to keep your things separate and organized. The top flap secures with a hidden magnetic closure and zipper, and the bottom flap closes with a magnetic closure and exposed double zipper.
At under $400, the Medwin is a pretty feasible designer buy, and one that you will reach for night and day.
