As far as evening bags go, this one is a basic. Leave it to La Regale to make sure you’ve got your traditional, pretty-but-somewhat-predictable handbag for that special occasion. The brand is well-known for their classic designs like this Rhine Frame clutch.
Don’t get me wrong, though. They’ve got a few unexpected styles like the rather ostentatious Beaded Floral Purse and the Heart Handbag. However, the Rhine Frame Bead design is much more in line with what I tend to see from La Regale.
We all need an elegant evening bag in our wardrobe, so don’t be quick to count out this one as an option. I guess some might think it’s a tad mumsy, but there are some very nice qualities to it. The wavy pattern on the beads, for instance, is an unusual twist that I like. The crystal-studded clasp closure on top is a great feature as well, though I wouldn’t necessarily call that one unusual for this type of handbag.
As I’d expect from a clutch nowadays, La Regale has provided the Rhine purse with an optional chain strap that has the perfect thickness for this delicate bag. If the gold is just too traditional for you, you could opt instead for the black or silver beads.
