Kotur’s Fane clutches are stunning evening purses, created in a variety of fabrics from wool to snakeskin. These luxurious fabrics are lovely, but the one that really catches my eye is this Fane Tinalak.
This striking material is hand woven by craftsman from the T’boli tribe in The Philippines. It was traditionally exchanged by the tribespeople during marriage and used as a covering during births. Only in recent years has this unique cloth been shared outside the community, and adopted by new designers like Fiona Kotur Marin.
The material’s original patterning is so modern, despite its origins. This busy design needs little embellishment; the subtle pleating and crystal closure complete the look without overwhelming it.
The Fane is long, but slender, limiting your storage space. A zipper in the side wall is handy for stashing valuables like loose change and keys, freeing up the rest of the interior for other evening essentials. It’s all lined with Kotur’s iconic embroidered brocade for a little added luxury.
With a retail value of $399, the Fane Tinalak clutch isn’t exorbitant, but it’s not exactly inexpensive either. If you can handle traveling light this purse is versatile enough to carry day to night, but if you can’t bear to part with your oversized bags you may want to think twice.
