Badgley Mischka downsizes its Melissa tote for this elegant clutch purse.
The wooden turn-lock we loved on the tote is used again here, and I’m glad to see its return. On a much smaller canvas we can really focus on this unique clasp. The rest of the Melissa seems to be built around it, almost as if its whole reason for being is to support that large retro closure. It provides that support admirably, with soft, voluminous black leather body and a smooth angular top.
If you thought this clutch was all style without substance you’d be wrong. Badgley Mischka has exceeded our expectations, offering one interior zip pocket and a pair of open pouches. We don’t even see all those features in some tote bags! The removable cross-body strap is the finishing touch. There’s enough room to carry it inside the spacious interior, but I like that we have the option to leave it at home.
At $375 the Melissa is pretty expensive as clutch purses go, but it’ll also work harder than the average for you. Are you tempted to splurge?
