Rebecca Minkoff gives us all the luxury of snake skin without the four-figure price tag with the Beau.
I was shocked to find the Beau isn’t made of python, but a very good embossed leather. Choosing a high quality skin is the easy part, but few designers use their materials as well as Rebecca Minkoff. The realistic looking uneven scales create a finish that could fool even the biggest fashion snobs.
I can’t recall ever spotting a snake in this particular shade of plum red, but that’s the beauty of an embossed leather. We can indulge in a hue so striking, without any regard for the natural tones of the animal kingdom. The color might not be as easy to incorporate into a wardrobe as a more neutral hue, but I imagine it’d add just the right pop to more outfits than you might expect.
We rarely indulge in clutch purses because they’re practical, but the Beau is one of the smarter ones on the market. Its generously sized interior features a secure zippered pocket and a luxurious looking golden chain, ready and waiting to serve when you feel like going hands free.
The $395 is the clincher. While that’s not exactly cheap for a clutch purse, it’s a lot less expensive than a genuine snake accessory would be!
