Kenneth Jay Lane has given the traditional envelope clutch a few contemporary tweaks with the Giza.
The traditional triangular flap and skinny profile is retained, but it’s the modern twists which make this more than just another envelope purse. The Giza takes its name from the pyramid shaped studs that dot its front. They’re big and bold enough to attract the eye, but by keeping the numbers down the feature doesn’t overwhelm the design. It’s a good thing too, because few things can compete with fuchsia. This electric pink hue is perfect for accessorizing with on-trend 80s retro fashions.
An envelope clutch never affords a lot of space, and at just half an inch thick the Giza is no exception. The patent leather is stiff and structured, so you can’t really squeeze any more than party essentials inside. One thing that does fit is the complimentary mirror, but that’s no use if there’s no space for carrying cosmetics!
This is a hot purse, but the decision to only release the Giza in fuchsia is a curious one. While this lurid pink suits the current passion for all things 80s, I’m not sure it’s got the staying power to take you to next season.
