Spring has sprung and floral purses are popping up as rapidly as the new season’s blooms. Clara Kasavina gives us a unique take on the trend with this Gardenia Puff purse.
Rather than cover her bag in flowers Clara Kasavina restricts them to the hand sculpted metal plate at the top. The silver petals are adorned with Swarovski crystals and pearls, just to make sure you don’t overlook them! The metal plate is artfully supported by the voluminous foiled lambskin body. I love the hint of sparkle here; it’s alluring but stops short of being gaudy.
Nobody buys a Clara Kasavina purse because it’s practical, but this one isn’t as useless as many evening bags. It’s got a decent amount of space by party purse standards, and its hand-sewn silk lining should stay put. I’m pretty sure that Swarovski embellished chain won’t feel good on your shoulders, but it is stylish and convenient.
Clara Kasavina purses never come cheaply, and at $795 the Gardenia Puff is no exception. Personally my social calendar isn’t crowded enough to justify spending so much on an after-five accessory, no matter how lovely it is. How about you?
