Many of us secretly covet the flashy minaudieres from Judith Leiber, but know carrying one of the expensive glittering purses is beyond our wildest dreams. Happily Menbur has come up with a more affordable alternative. Meet the Cimabue minaudiere.
This egg-shaped clutch is daring and dramatic, with concentric beaded circles fanning out across the satiny surface. The silvery finish is glamorous, and the tiny beads stylish. They’re not Swarovski crystals, but we’re not paying for those faceted gemstones either.
Unfortunately when you look closer you’ll see that the corner cutting doesn’t just extend to the materials. The back of the minaudiere is disappointingly bare, something that the great Judith Leiber would never do. We can also see the silver satin peeking out from underneath the beads, which sort of cheapens the look.
But let’s remember, we’re not buying a Judith Leiber clutch. We’re buying a Menbur one, which is a comparative steal at $112. With a drop-in shoulder strap and satiny lined interior, this baby is a bargain!
