Dolce & Gabbana brings out the best in zebra print with this chic Miss Charles Clutch.
Surprisingly the fashion house manages to do it with a material I usually loathe: ponyhair. All too often this material seems out of place, but here it passes for genuine zebra hide. Of course that’s not likely to please PETA, especially since Dolce & Gabbana doesn’t detail exactly how it sources its ponyhair, but the soft striped fur is striking.
The zebra stripes are bold, but Dolce & Gabbana gets away with them by keeping the Miss Charles’ body very simple. We’ve seen this flap-over style so many times, but the classic animal stripes make the purse feel fresh.
The Miss Charles is slender but spacious, so with some careful packing it should hold everything you need on an evening out. No one buys a clutch purse expecting true functionality, but with its generous dimensions and detachable chain strap the Miss Charles is smarter than most.
At $1808 the Miss Charles is a pricy proposition, but no one expects a Dolce & Gabbana purse to come cheaply. Happily though, this one will look at home with jeans or a little black dress so you’ll get some wear from your investment.
