Black velvet is having a major comeback right now. Not that it ever goes completely out of style, but a lot of us kind of OD’ed on it in the 90’s and haven’t thought about it much since. This Eugenia clutch by Christian Louboutin uses the fabric in a masterful and elegant way.
All velvets are not created equal. This one has a wonderfully short nap and a very subtle sheen. It is almost completely matte, which really works well against the shinier black tassel, which seems so natural to the Eugenia that it almost seems to have sprouted out of it.
The soft shape of the Eugenia is a relief from all the hard clutches I’ve seen lately. There’s something impeccably feminine about the drapy front pleating and almost rollup design. This clutch would be a fabulous addition to a sparkly evening ensemble, or even something really rock-n-roll, like a black leather dress.
I am crazy about the design of the Eugenia, but I’m not really okay with the price. At $895, it’s just a little too expensive, I think. But it is terribly beautiful, and timeless, so if you happen to have the extra money, it’s definitely worth a look.
