As if metal mesh wasn’t already retro enough, Whiting & Davis treats us to a bit of 70s color with this Opposing Stripes clutch.
This is a discolicious purse with its wide stripes and bold metallic colors. I really like the way the envelope flap mimics the chevron stripes decorating it, just as the vertical stripes match the body’s basic box shape. I enjoy what’s happening up front so much that the more basic black back is a bit of a letdown. I’d love to see more color here, but it’s not to be. Just make sure you note how you’re carrying it before you step out.
We get a couple of choices in that department, which is always welcome. Metal mesh feels heavenly in our hands, but no one enjoys carrying a clutch that way all night. Whiting & Davis also gives us a chain strap to use once the evening wears on. This is detachable too, so it needn’t clutter up your handbag when it’s not in use.
$170 is a little more than I like spending on a clutch, but I think this one is worth the splurge. Its modern style and spacious interior could easily work during the daylight hours too, so we’ll likely get our money’s worth.
