Kathrine Baumann is famous for her beautiful, yet entirely impractical, minaudieres. But the designer shows she can craft a usable accessory with this gorgeous evening bag.
At first glance it doesn’t look too different from those minaudieres. The body is still studded with Swarovski crystals, creating a floral pattern which is just as dramatic as the rest. But the size and shape make this a lot more functional.
The hexagonal design is a little more interesting than a traditional box shape, but it doesn’t compromise storage space. While you could never call it oversized, there’s so much more room than you’ll find in a minaudiere. You’ll still need to leave the luxuries at home, but at least the essentials should fit inside!
Unlike the minaudieres, this purse also comes with an extra long shoulder strap. You could even carry it cross-body style, but that might just undermine its elegance. If you’d rather carry it clutch style, you can easily remove the strap. It’s a handy feature which ensures you don’t fill up the purse with a strap you’re not using.
Just 500 of these evening purses were made, so it’s no surprise to see it priced at $3237.50. Of course, that doesn’t make it hurt any less!
