Christian Louboutin has a cult of followers as loyal as any in fashion, and with timeless, elegant designs like these, it’s easy to see why. The whimisical bow-shaped Cadeau clutch is quirky enough to add a little extra je ne sais quoi to your ensemble without looking dated or trendy.
Firstly, the color is so spot on that it creates a spectacle of its own. The tone of the lush blue velvet will stand alone, but it also won’t clash with black. And the warmth of the gold hardware picks up the undertones and the sheen of the fabric beautifully.
The size is perfect for cocktail parties and evening events: big enough to be noticed (and to carry a few essentials), but small enough that your handbag doesn’t become the central interest of your outfit. Personally, I wouldn’t fill it too full, as inner contents will eventually press against the outer fabric and distort the beautiful shape of the bow, so this is definitely better for ladies who are comfortable packing light.
The signature Louboutin kiss lock top is classic and perfect, as always. I love the red enamel soles at the bottom of the stilettos; it’s such a subtle, sweet touch. Overall, I’m just crazy for this clutch. Everything but the price works for me. At $995, it’s a little our of my league, but it’s also a good investment bag due to its versatility.
