Roberto Cavalli’s avant garde approach to fashion has always been a bit hit and miss for me. But it’s struck gold with this Maxi Clutch.
At its heart, the Maxi is a rainbow colored satin clutch. That would have been pretty, but ultimately forgettable. So Roberto Cavalli adds a breathtaking layer of golden leather for some extra punch. The leather’s cut out to make the shapes of menacing wild animals and delicate netting. Those eagles and tigers could have seemed kitschy under the wrong designer’s hands, but Roberto Cavalli somehow makes all the details work in harmony. I’m impressed.
The Maxi is longer than your average box clutch, but it’s still not what I would call maxi-sized. Perhaps that’s a good thing though, because without a chain clutch it could have become unmanageable if it were supersized. The zippered internal pocket means there’s no need for a wallet, so it should hold everything we really need.
The Maxi is a very elaborate, very original clutch purse, but even that can’t sway me to part with $2210 to own it. You’ll need a very crowded social calendar to justify spending that kind of cash.
