Soft tissue silk fabric makes this Lou Lou Clutch from Inge Christopher a feminine option.
Silk purses are a dime a dozen, but it’s unusual to see a designer playing with this soft, drapey variety. It’s the ideal choice for creating the large gathered blossom and voluminous pleated body. I also really like this gentle pewter hue, which is much more elegant than many metallic clutches. It’s also a great complement to Inge Christopher’s substantial double chain clutch.
I appreciate the way Inge Christopher has changed the tuck-away strap to suit the purse. On the gold bag we can get a matching golden chain, and on the black bag it’s a dark burnished pewter. It’s a small stylistic decision, but one that ensures the Lou Lou looks good in whatever color you choose.
The Lou Lou’s a delicate flower, but it should be large enough to hold party essentials. The open pocket could stand to be larger, but it should hold a slim cell phone or a favorite lipstick without too much trouble.
At $115 the Lou Lou is probably a shade more expensive than it should be. While the fabric is interesting, it’s just silk after all. We’ve seen comparable purses costing a lot less. However if you can find it on sale, it’d make a great addition to your evening wardrobe.
