Anne Klein has been blowing her trumpet a bit lately. We recently looked at the Perfect Tote, and now we see the Perfectly Pleated Clutch.
The problem with calling something the perfect anything, is that people tend to judge it more harshly, looking for faults and holes. And with a $59 clutch, it doesn’t take too long for us to find its shortcomings. It’s made from synthetic rather than real leather, and that means its pleats pucker awkwardly when they should fall softly. The manmade skin is also too shiny to be natural, something we see clearly around the folds. It’s far from the worst synthetic I’ve seen, but one that’s perfectly pleated? Hardly.
While it’s easy to find fault in a clutch so seemingly conceited, if we kept that up we’d miss the really good things about it. We might forget to appreciate the interior, which is larger with more interior pockets than most. We might also miss the detachable strap, which gives the clutch a bit more versatility. It’s made from more of that synthetic rather than the typical chain, so it should also feel more forgiving on our shoulders.
It’s also incredibly affordable at $59. That doesn’t buy a lot in the fashion world, and it rarely buys a purse so stylish. Is it perfect? No. But it does represent great value for money.
