With a heavy glance towards the Yves Saint Laurent Cage Clutch, I’m ready to declare the cage bag a bonafide trend. And, ever the masters of trend, ASOS have jumped on the bandwagon with their Metal Cutwork Clutch at right.
I really like the design of this piece, perhaps even better than that of the YSL, gasp! The rounded edges and oval silhouette are echoed in the curved design of the cagework in a really artistic way. While I’m sure the YSL is sturdier with a higher quality, I much prefer the design of this cheaper bag.
Inside the metal cage is a cotton-silk blend lining. I do wonder if a cell phone would bang around noisily in the cage given the that the lining likely isn’t padded.
A silver affect chain shoulder strap makes this perfect for cocktail parties when you want to give your more formal frocks some edge, but it would also look really cool with jeans, heels and a “going out” top. I do wish the strap was constructed in such a way that it could be tucked inside when it wasn’t needed – which probably would have been easy to do.
