Hilary Radley offers an antidote to all those sequin covered, frilly evening purses with this Foreign Press clutch.
The Foreign Press is a much more relaxed accessory with an almost messenger bag-like flap design. Some well places stitching and seams do all the talking, giving the Foreign Press its clean and casual good looks. I love the stormy blue shade, which seems made for pairing with denim, but it’s also available in raspberry pink.
A daytime purse really needs to be bigger than the average clutch, and Hilary Radley has obliged. That extra space is made more user friendly with the addition of a handy zippered pocket on the back, and several more inside. Another zip across the top of the main compartment keeps your precious cargo safe and sound.
Such a large purse could be difficult to manage, but the short handle makes clutching this clutch easier than the average. However if you want to go hands free there’s also an attachable strap. This is made from more leatherette rather than the chains we see on most clutch purses. That works well with the Foreign Press’ casual good looks, and it’s much more comfortable to carry.
This clutch is clearly made from synthetic rather than genuine leather, but its weathered grain makes it look a little more authentic than some man made skins. And at $85, the price is affordable enough for frugal shoppers to appreciate the compromise.
