Carla Clutch

THE STORY

I was looking through old photographs of women from the 1920s, all dressed for an evening out, each one holding a small structured clutch like it was an extension of her hand. There was something about that era's restraint, clean lines, geometric shapes, nothing overdone, that stayed with me. Carla is my take on that feeling. A hard-structured octagonal clutch in cream croco-print leather, finished with gold-plated hardware along the edges and clasp. It's classic, polished, the kind of piece that doesn't chase trends because it was never trying to.

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP

I built Carla with a hard-structured octagonal frame, wrapped in genuine cream croco-print leather for texture and depth. The edges and clasp are finished in gold-plated metal, giving the whole piece a refined, almost architectural edge. Inside, it's lined in cream velvet, soft against anything you carry. A delicate gold-plated chain strap lets you wear it crossbody or carry it by hand, depending on the occasion.

THE STYLING ADVICE

Carla is made for evenings that call for something polished. Wear it crossbody for a hands-free night out, or carry it by hand for a more formal look. Its neutral cream tone pairs effortlessly with almost anything, making it a piece you'll reach for again and again.
