I’m always hesitant to spend a fortune on an evening purse. As I get older I tend to find myself settling in as the sun sets, rather than kicking up my heels. My opportunities for such accessories are few and far between, so I don’t see the point in spending a fortune on them. Thankfully there’s Bourne, a label who creates cute evening accessories that won’t break the bank. I think the Vera may be one of my favorites.
Don’t the jewels gathered about the base remind you of the bubbles in a champagne glass? They’ve got the same frothy, playful feel about them, especially against the gentle blush satin background. This material and that classic box shape make this clutch feel much richer than its price tag.
It’s not the perfect purse though. It’s very small by modern clutch standards, and its structured design doesn’t allow for any wiggle room. Its chain strap also feels too heavy for such an elegant purse, although I suppose we should be thankful that we get one at all.
For $159 though I feel bad quibbling. That’s really reasonable for an evening purse with so much style.
