Just like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s resident fashion expert, this Carson clutch can easily give any outfit the lift it needs.
This is the kind of clutch that begs to be held. It’s small enough to easily fit in your palm, and its wave embossed leather is super soft and sumptuous to the touch. It’s also available in an Eastern printed canvas, but with no discount offered on the cheaper fabric I’d definitely opt for the leather. In my opinion, it’s the only way to get your $175 worth.
Both fabric options close with a turn-lock clasp, but I like the way Elaine Turner has chosen different hardware to suit the material alternatives. The leather is paired with polished silver-metal, while the canvas one has an organic bamboo clasp.
While I’d love to hold it, I’m glad we’re not restricted to handheld carrying. A delicate chain strap sits inside the Carson, just waiting to help us out when we want to go hands free. Inside we also find a large open pocket. I’m generally a bit critical of lone slip pockets sitting inside clutches, but this one’s big enough to be more practical than most.
I understand hesitating to carry a purse in bold peacock blue or hot pink, but the Carson might be just the splash of flamboyance your neutral outfits need.
