Just when all the studded purses were beginning to look the same, Balmain released this Night Punk clutch to shake things up.
A smattering of studs in bronze, pewter, and silver tones add edge to this purse’s plush black suede body. The hardware creates an abstract design that easily combines rock and roll attitude with High Street glamour.
Suede wears quickly, so I’m thrilled to see the inclusion of a chain link shoulder strap. Carrying the Night Punk this way should keep the soft fabric looking sumptuous for a lot longer. The chain is probably delicate enough to pop inside the purse, but if you’re planning on a night of old-fashioned clutching you can simply detach it and leave it at home.
The interior is generous by clutch standards, but it’s also quite simple. I was disappointed to see only a slit pocket inside, as a zippered one would have been much more functional.
That’s nitpicking of course, but at a whopping price of $2710 I think we’ve earned the right to expect perfection. If your budget is bigger than mine though, Balmain may have delivered the luxury purse you’re looking for.
