Paco Mena only appeared on my radar recently, but since discovering the brand I’ve been impressed by its elegant but affordable evening purses. This Duprea clutch is another shining example from the range.
This is a lovely looking purse, with its sophisticated pleating and rich satiny finish. The row of crystals and beads provides just the right amount of bling, while the midnight blue color makes an unexpected neutral. It’s one of four shades on offer, in a color palette which really has something for everybody. The classic beauties are covered with black and stone, while the girly girls will love the vivid fuchsia hue.
The Duprea is boxier than the usual clutch, which tends to be more rectangular. That helps to set it apart, but also makes it a bit awkward to carry. You can’t hold it in your hand as easily, so I predict the drop-in chain will get plenty of use. I don’t think it looks quite as elegant in this mode, but carrying it this way is a lot more practical.
It’s hard to find fault for $53 though. At that price you needn’t be a social butterfly to indulge!
