When I fantasize about my ultimate handbags, they’re almost always Judith Leiber minaudieres. Their high prices put them out of my reach, but their exquisite crystal covered bodies and expertly rendered details always make me swoon. But perhaps I should reevaluate my stance, because her Ritz Fizz is putting me to sleep.
To be fair, this is probably the most versatile clutch Judith Leiber has ever made. It’s not likely to polarize audiences like her animal-shaped minaudieres, and it’s so simple that it really could work with anything. However it’s lacking the flair that Judith Leiber is known for, that special something that encourages women to become big spenders.
The Ritz Fizz has a silvery satin body, but you’d hardly know it with those clear Australian crystals covering every square inch. It’s a lovely effect, but also one we’ve seen before on many cheaper purses. If you’re as worried as I am about crystals coming free you may prefer to carry it using the shoulder chain. It doesn’t look quite as elegant this way, but it’s always good to have options.
And well we should for the money. At $1995 this is another expensive clutch from Judith Leiber, but sadly it doesn’t have the pizzazz that merits such a hefty price tag.
