Stuart Weitzman takes snake print to the urban jungle with this Blason Poem clutch.
So often snake print is used in elegant purses, so it’s refreshing to see Stuart Weitzman making things a bit dirtier here. This is a more abstract take on snakeskin; rather than defined scales and markings we see gentle mottling. This brown shade called fango is almost like a new version of the old camouflage prints. I wouldn’t want to lose this in the forest, would you? You might never find it again!
The print is lovely, but what really makes this purse special is that faceted gold accent on the tab. The polished metal really pops against the muted leather, and makes the tab clasp a thing of modern beauty.
I’m also impressed by the drop in shoulder strap. So often straps seem like an afterthought on a clutch, but here it’s another compelling design element. The printed leather snaking through the golden rings is much more appealing than any stock standard silver chain!
This clutch is generously sized, but try to resist the temptation to overstuff it. Loading it up will only create unsightly bumps and bulges, which will interrupt those smooth serpentine lines. You should have plenty of room to carry everything you really need inside, so there’s no need to go overboard.
At $350 this clutch is nudging expensive, but I think Stuart Weitzman has offered enough to justify the price.
