Ruby red never looked so luscious before I set eyes on this elegant patent leather Kate Spade Varenne Jocelyn clutch. It’s as tempting as the evil queen’s apple when she handed it to Snow White through the window. What lies beneath this bag seems almost sinister. Its panels of eel skin are stitched together and covered in patent red or grey. Eel skin is known for its lightweight feel and malleable texture.
The elegant Jocelyn clutch gets a sharp finish from the thinness of the eel skin panels and the shine of the patent finish—especially the red. I simply love the round lacquered wooden handle with studding. It sets off both the patent red and grey to perfection, and makes it usable for a casual club night or evening ball. For this tempting apple-hued clutch, look to Kate Spade where you can find it for $595.
Not many people are going to be able or want to spend almost $600 on one bag. Do you know how many bags I could buy for the much money?! I’d never need another handbag, that’s how many. Heck, I could probably buy enough to open a store, make a profit, and start all over again. But it’s easier to write a blog about accessories than it is to run a store that sells them, so I’ll stick with this. If you’re like me and you don’t want to spend that much on a bag, check out the Abas City Clutch. It’s made from Italian leather, and has a sophisticated flap closure. Get it for just $88 at Endless.com.
You can also give this sleek red patent Prezzo Frame Clutch a try. It’s made from synthetic leather, which helps you save money but still looks great. It has metal trim along the top of the clutch, with a magnetic closure. Inside is a back wall zip pocket for small items. The color is a true red, which can almost be considered a neutral, so it can go with just about anything. Try it with a black and white ensemble for a punch of color. It can be yours for only $34.99 from ebags.com.
