It’s officially called a clutch, but this Laura Matthews Designs bag appears much more like a mini tote to me!
Names aside, this lambskin purse is a nice alternative to those ridiculously tiny clutches we’re used to carrying. It comes with space for party essentials and then some, and the leather handle is more comfortable than the popular chain straps we typically see.
Just because it’s comfortable doesn’t make it altogether practical though. If only Laura Matthews Designs had added a few inches to the handle. Then we could have enjoyed the option of carrying the purse over our shoulders or in the crooks of our arms.
The handle isn’t the only feature I’ve got a gripe about. The look rubs me up the wrong way. All the right elements are there. The buttery soft surface of lambskin has proven to be a more alluring alternative than traditional calf leather. The snakeskin texture is right on trend, and not so showy to offend conservative tastes. Yet it doesn’t appear as luxurious as the combination of lambskin and exotic print should. The shiny surface looks a little cheap, and the nickel plate seems simply tacked on.
Laura Matthews Designs brings something different to the table here, but the looks just don’t impress me.
