Nancy Gonzalez is known for having a light touch when it comes to design. All of her bags are made of exotic or unusual materials, and she usually chooses to let the natural beauty of the materials be center-stage. This sophisticated clutch is a good example of her work.
The croc material takes center stage here. The elongated shape with its short, rounded front flap reinforces the natural curves of the crocodile scales, and the smooth, unembellished surface allows its textured surface to shine.
Gonzalez’s bags are handcrafted in Colombia, and the quality of the worksmanship is apparent. The almost-invisible seams don’t mar the croc surface even the tiniest bit. Honestly, it’s hard to talk about a bag that is so subtly and simply elegant. It doesn’t have many bells or whistles, but it totally doesn’t need them. This clutch is the definition of understated sophisticated.
At $1,850, the clutch is pricey, but somewhat less than you might expect for an exotic bag of this quality. Gonzalez keeps prices lower than average by using materials from her own farms. This works out economically, but it also allows Gonzalez to control the quality of her materials, an approach that seems to be working for her all around.
