Alexander Wang’s day bags have quickly become favorite accessories of style icons like Christina Aguilera, Blake Lively, and Nicole Ritchie. So it’s disappointing to see the designer delivering something as lackluster as this Dionne clutch.
There’s a fine line between traditional and tired of course, but I think Alexander Wang has come down on the wrong side of things. It would take more than the simple belt for this basic black clutch to excite me. The natural grained leather is lovely, but it’s also not very inspiring.
Despite its framed design, this purse has a real slouch to it. This is unusual for a clutch purse, and probably relegates it to daytime use. It should make carrying it a bit more comfortable, which is a blessing in the absence of a shoulder strap. However, I think I’d prefer more sophisticated style.
If you travel light though you’ll probably get a lot of use from this. Black is so easy to coordinate with any outfit, and the zip pocket inside is very sensible. The Dionne doesn’t rock my world, but if you’re an Alexander Wang fan you might not mind shelling out $650 for it.
