In the hands of the right designer, even the most unlikely accent can become desirable. This Barnett Cicada clutch by Kotur is a case in point. Who ever would have thought the most annoying of summer insects could be given such a glamorous makeover?
This cicada accent is dripping in rhinestones, which elevate it from humble buzzer to chic decoration. I’m not sure it’ll win over anyone who hates creepy crawlies, but it certainly makes this simple woven purse much more desirable.
It’s worth mentioning the metallic treatment of the straw too. This isn’t the sort of woven purse you’d pick up from an island souvenir store. That bronze finish makes it much richer, both in appearance and in price. Frankly I’m not sure a straw purse should ever command $450, but at least this one looks the part.
Kotur attempts to offer value with a chain shoulder strap and elegant brocade interior lining, but I’m not sure the materials justify the high price. Still, if you want to stand out in a crowd this summer, carrying this unusual clutch may be the way to do it.
