Like it or not, the warm weather has left us and it’s time to rug up. It’s certainly hard to adjust, but even casual labels like Serpui Marie are getting into the spirit. With this Painswick clutch the fashion house abandons its favorite natural fibers and opts for a more elegant fabric finish.
The Painswick’s dark silver, black, and gray hues are perfect for winter. The swirling print reminds me a bit of paisley, but it’s much more modern than that retro favorite. Whatever’s inspired it, it’s a lovely complement to the Painswick’s rhinestone-encrusted flower-shaped clasp.
The Painswick clutch doesn’t really skimp on practical features, but it certainly doesn’t exceed our expectations. The optional chain strap, the tiny interior pocket, and the fabric lining are all just what we’d hope for. They do the job without really wowing us.
$300 is perhaps a little steep for a fabric covered clutch, but it’s also not unreasonable for an evening purse. Pair it with your favorite dark denims during the day to ensure you get your money’s worth.
