I wasn’t sure how you could improve on the perfection of Lulu Guinness‘ popular fan clutches, but then again I’m not a designer. The creative Brit has done the seemingly impossible with the release of three new purses.
The pictured fan clutch is perhaps the most exciting, as it’s the result of a recent collaboration with British artist Rob Ryan. The pair has created a romantic scene, with a couple of lovers stealing a kiss in the starlit night. This one-of-a-kind purse is signed by both designers and currently available through eBay.
With a week to go this clutch is currently priced at £700, so it’s likely to sell for a pretty penny. The money won’t line the designers’ pockets however; all proceeds will benefit African AIDS charity ASAP. The charity helps local organizations that care for orphans and other children affected by HIV and AIDS.
If you miss out on the auction, perhaps you’d fancy one of the other new fan clutches. Lulu Guinness has created two limited edition designs inspired by fellow countrymen Sophie Dahl and Paloma Faith. The jeweled Paloma purse costs £795, while the lace detailed Sophie clutch is a relative steal at £595. Contact the Lulu Guinness flagship store in Ellis Street if you’re interested in either of these purses!
