Reed Krakoff’s line has been the toast of the fashion world for the past few months. The highly acclaimed Coach designer struck out on his own, and struck gold, this season, by releasing his own line, which has been replete with posh, but traditional offerings. This gorgeous miniaudiere lizard clutch adds an extra dose of luxury to the line.
I am such a fan of the miniaudiere style. Hard, small, constrained; it has all the hallmarks of elegance. This bag is not, of course, the one to choose if you’re the kind of woman who has a whole lot of stuff to truck around, but for a special night on the town, it’s just right. I love the flat, boxy shape, even if I could barely slip my wallet inside.
The bronze lizard leather is nothing less than breathtaking. The texture of the skin makes the metallic finish shimmer in a subtly beautiful way. The deco style gunmetal clasp is understated, but has a heaviness that balances out the rest of the clutch. I can’t think of a a better way to punctuate an elegant evening ensemble.
I’m a little surprised at the $990 price tag. Most of Krakoff’s designs have been priced on the high side, so for this exotic skin, the price is pretty solid. Plus, this is the kind of beauty that just never goes out of style.
