Whiting & Davis puts a retro spin on its metal mesh purses with this Mesh & Lucite Elongated Clutch.
Often metal mesh has a classic, vintage vibe, but this one seems to take its inspiration from the swinging sixties. The aqua-colored brass mesh is much poppier than the traditional designs Whiting & Davis often produces, and its transparent Lucite ring gives the final modish touch.
At first glance the design of this elongated clutch looks like so many frame purses, but there’s a secret hiding inside. Four metal balls come together to form hidden kiss-lock clasps. They provide the extra security we crave without compromising the clutch’s clean good looks.
It’s a shame that there’s no shoulder strap hiding in there as well, but that’s only a minor disappointment. Metal mesh always feels wonderful in our hands, and when it’s used in such a slim design things are that much easier.
The lining is also a bit of a double-edged sword. Such a bright, white color makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, even under dim party lights. However it will attract lipstick stains and other marks, so don’t expect it to stay pristine for long!
At $200 this metal mesh clutch is a little expensive, but if you can manage to work it into your daytime wardrobe you should see value here.
