Coccinelle offers an antidote to all those glitzy clutch purses with the Daphne.
You won’t find a hint of sparkle here; instead Coccinelle gives us a much cleaner look with a soft pleated body and casually tied bow at the side. The high quality leather helps each pleat fall gently to create a look which is feminine, yet contemporary. The shiny silver side buckle is the only hint of hardware. I love the restraint Coccinelle has shown here; in a world of over-studded, over-jeweled purses, this more minimalist look really stands out.
Its dimensions are more generous than many of those other clutches too. You should have no problem fitting everything you need inside the stripey interior space. It comes with a practical zippered pocket, and a zip closure to keep all your evening essentials safely inside.
My only complaint is that without a shoulder strap, Coccinelle forces us to carry the Daphne by hand all night. The soft leather will feel great in your palm, but this purse is really a shade too big for old-style clutching. That makes the Daphne more appropriate for a night at the theater, where you can sit it down, than a cocktail party or club.
