Summer might be slipping away, but Franchi lets us hang onto the season just a little longer with this Camille clutch.
Ordinarily straw is reserved for casual day bags, but the natural fiber is given an up-market makeover here. Woven straw panels add texture to the sides of this structured box purse. On its own the material would seem a bit rustic, but the polished frame and modern pyramid clasp make it feel very now. I’m not completely sold on the combination of golden straw and silver metal, but it does have an unexpected pop.
You’ll need to pare down your party swag if you hope to carry the Camille though. It’s really small, and its structured shape means overstuffing isn’t an option. Its clasp will pop open under pressure, which is never a good look. Its serpentine chain is lovely but it’s also not detachable which of course means more interior clutter when it’s not in use.
But few of us buy a clutch for practicality, do we? It’s all about the look, and this one is very summer chic. And it’s a relative bargain too at $118.
