Santi may have ditched the beads and sequins this time around, but that doesn’t mean that this Madeline clutch has any less glitz!
Her pizazz comes from its fuchsia pink leather, which has been gathered up in an adorable way. It’s very cutesy, and frothy, and probably completely unpalatable if you’re not the girliest of girly girls.
I quite like the idea behind this purse, but I feel its execution lets it down. Those gathers are just a bit awkward; there’s no symmetry or style to it, and that undermines the look. For $215, I expect better than this.
Still, the Madeline isn’t without charm. Its design is fun, and with a chain strap it’s even functional. It’s very small, which is both a blessing and a curse. Sure, you might need to leave some of your favorite items behind, but a large mass of gathered fuchsia leather would surely be a bigger sin.
The Madeline isn’t a perfect purse, but it’s probably unique enough to tempt a few Elle Woods inspired girls to lay their money down.
