Diane Von Furstenberg channels the 80s with this fun Marlene Lace Clutch.
The black floral lace body may well have been made from the same material as Madonna’s famous fingerless gloves. This retro fabric is offset with a colorful mosaic brooch. This accent is striking, and really the star here. The vibrant turquoise and gentle lilac beads are made from gorgeous swirled enamel, which sits in a geometric pattern against a black leather back. The accent has a vaguely tribal feel to it; it shouldn’t work with this retro style but somehow it does.
With the strap tucked away this purse is perfect for parties with friends, or even a black tie affair if you know how to dress it. With the cross-body chain out though the Marlene becomes a more casual accessory, ready to add a hint of glamour to your everyday wardrobe. Packrats may struggle to carry everything they want during the day though, but this clutch does afford us more space than the average evening accessory. With some careful packing, I think it could really make a daytime outfit something special.
That day to night versatility makes the Marlene’s $250 price tag seem quite reasonable indeed.
