Be & D are no stranger to sexy feminine ruffles: their Chatterly satchel channeled miniature ruffles with a rock-chick vibe, whilst the Kan Kan Tote was more about over-sized styling and origami structuring. The Tuilleries, the latest addition in a world full of clutches, continues the ruffles theme with a more demure feel.
Ruffles or layers can be over powering; the bag can be dwarfed by its decoration, and often so can your outfit. This purse, however, manages to avoid this. With soft crinkled layers, this bag leans more towards subtle than overt. The “clutched” shape means it looks completely at home in your hand, with the luxury Italian leather bunching in at the center.
To say this bag is subtle does demean its impact. In fact, this little purse isn’t short in the looks department, and the designers have ensured its impact by decorating the front. The patent leather centerpiece is adorned with large suede “baubles,” square chunks that add a much needed focal point to the crinkly bag. In comparison to the matching snakeskin patterned majority, the effect is lovely.
On top of great looks, this clutch gives you a lot of choice. From the optional long drop handle in chunky chain-link, to the zipped interior pocket, there’s just as much going on under the surface as there is on top.
Of course, with luxury materials like this, you do pay for it. Whilst a cheaper imitation would look essentially the same, I doubt you would feel the same without this delicate leather beauty on your arm!
