Diane Von Furstenberg: The Queen of the Box Clutch

 

There’s something about a DVF clutch that makes me feel like a sophisticated, upmarket girl. Diane’s love affair with box clutches, such as the Lytton, and this Tonda is one of my favourite relationships in the handbag industry, because season upon season she creates these little pieces of luxury.

This Tonda Snake Print Clutch in a pretty sea blue, is not only perfect as a holiday bag (it’s basically made to be teamed with an elegant flowing dress and strappy sandals), it’s simple classic shape makes it an ideal go-to for any formal occasion.

I like a showy clutch, one that begs for attention and completely creates an outfit, and for me, this Diane Von Furstenberg one does just that – in a grown up, graceful sort of way. She has managed to take a completely simple design, one that I would still have probably admired even in a matte black, and team it with feisty texture, glamorous gold hardware and a pop of on-trend pastel blue, and instantly make a bag that everyone wants.

I like my bags to pack a punch, and so this is how I’d wear my Diane Von Furstenberg Tonda. It’s dramatic, oh yes, but it’s perfect for sipping on a strawberry daiquiri on the French Riviera.

Crisp white Theysken’s Theory double-breasted blazer, with statement fuchsia Burberry London silk-georgette dress, completely over the top  Jimmy Choo Marlene feather heels, and a tribal-inspired sparkly Valentino Swarovski gold-plated bib necklace.
