In the Checkerboard Satin clutch, Menbur has created a purse that makes me do a double take, and then another. Its contemporary styling is like no other clutch on the market, and it’s priced at just $69!
Those factors alone are enough to make me fall hard for the Checkerboard Clutch. I love the tiny gray and white checkerboard pattern woven into the clutch’s satin body, and the way it unexpectedly works as a backdrop for the modern, angular pleats. The two elements are so different, yet by using mellow monochrome colors Menbur creates a unified and unique look.
This purse’s flaws are ones it shares with so many clutch bags. The elegant frame provides style and structure, but it also compromises storage space. The tiny open interior pouch is pretty useless really, but again it’s par for the course. Chain link straps are also never ideal for comfortable carrying, but it’s always nice to have a hands-free option. And if we’re objective we know it will look a lot better than any heavier satin or leather alternative would. When you’re gussied up in a tight fitting frock and strappy stilettos, what’s one more niggle?
The flaws are so easy to swallow when we look at that price tag. This clutch is original, but not so outlandish that it’ll sit at the back of your closet. At any price that would make it appealing, but at just $69 it’s a steal.
