Just like the formidable Miss Hepburn, the Katherine clutch from Maxx New York marches to its own beat.
This striking purse has much more attitude than many clutches on the market. While they tend to be feminine affairs, this one is defiant and edgy. Studs always add that rebelliousness, but they’re used in a very different way here. They appear like tiny nuts and bolts dotting the corners of each patch.
Those patches are another interesting design choice. Patchwork has appeared passé in recent years, but the checkerboard mix of soft faux suede and smooth synthetic is subtle and modern. I think it works best in the complementary black and chocolate shades, although if you prefer more contrast consider the Katherine in natural beige and brown.
The Katherine is larger than the average clutch, and its interior better appointed. The long zippered pocket is much more practical than the tiny open pouches we typically see. As we can’t easily fit a wallet inside the clutch, it gives us a handy place for stashing our cards and coins.
A wrist strap is the ideal hands-free feature for such an edgy clutch. A chain strap simply wouldn’t have worked for an individual such as this. It gives us the practicality we crave without compromising those moody good looks.
