Stuart Weitzman breaks from his usual sophisticated purse to bring us something a little more unusual.
Don’t get me wrong, I am aware that florals seem to be available every season, in a million different styles, color combos and patterns. This Cluster clutch, however, uses a style of floral artistry that I haven’t ever really seen on a handbag before. If you like rich floral shades and artistic brush strokes, then this slightly surreal pattern on a white background may be for you. If kitsch floral prints are more your thing, however, then I would avoid this clutch.
Whilst the pattern is vibrant and very successful, I am of the opinion that the eponymous gem cluster on the front doesn’t work so well. On its own it is fine, fun and maybe even stylish. Combined with the floral, however, it results in a clash of colors and patterns that looks more chaotic than clever. If this could be removed and the great shape of the purse kept without it, then that is what I would do!
To need to make such changes whilst costing anything from $199 to $500 is not really a great sign, but I don’t want the unique styling of this purse to go undervalued. Ignore the cluster, and concentrate instead on the canvas-like art, optional handle and slender interior!
