High-powered fashion designing duo Proenza Schouler does it again with this utility-inspired mini addition to their PS1 line. Available in a wide variety of colors (nude, midnight blue, and metallic gunmetal grey to name a few) and materials (leather and python), this pouchette is sleek and versatile. The PS1 purse in this magnetic shade of chartreuse would be a worthy accessory to a high-voltage nighttime ensemble, but it would also add a punch of style and color to everyday jeans and a t-shirt.
The smooth, high-quality leather clutch features a flap front with metal closures and leather straps. I love the seam details on the front flap and the unusually curvy brass clasp. At 11″ x 3″ x 5.5″, this clutch is large enough to be seen, small enough to be comfortable to hold, and roomy enough to carry a few little things you might need on a night out, like gloss and powder.
The minimal utilitarianism of the bag’s appeal is enhanced by the appearance of the multiple straps and buckle. Personally, I prefer a bag with a single closure for easy access, but you could always leave the straps undone for a more disheveled look, if that suits you. The PS1 pouchette is slick and edgy at the same time, and in the mid-range for designer pouchettes at under $900 retail.
