Nicole Lee is one of those designers that marches to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t always nail her accessories, but at least you can’t accuse them of being boring. This Helene clutch is another surprising, and surprisingly affordable, handbag from her collection.
The Helene’s large curved flap is decorated with strips of floral printed fabric which create a bow, or perhaps cat’s whiskers. Whatever it’s meant to be, the design certainly adds interest to the flap. It’s a bit busy for my taste, but I can’t criticize the designer for taking a risk.
I think Nicole Lee gets away with the experiment because she remembers what we really want out of a handbag. This Helene offers it all really: a decent amount of space, double security measures, and even a detachable strap.
I figure if you’re going to choose an unusually designed purse, you might as well go all out. This orange colored Helene certainly fits that bill! However if you prefer a more conservative look you’ll also find this purse in black, white, and a gentle mustard yellow. Each one is affordably priced at $45.
