Mel Boteri Tasseled Lauren Clutch: Bag Review

When we first clocked eyes on the Mel Boteri Tasseled Lauren Clutch we knew it was our ideal evening bag. Simple but with fine detailing, compact but spacious, it ticks all the boxes a clutch bag should. With a detachable chain shoulder strap, the handbag can be carried in hand to accompany an elegant evening ensemble or swing from your shoulder if you prefer to be hands free. Either way, the Mel Boteri Tasseled Lauren Clutch is a pure, feminine and sophisticated clutch bag which we are sure you’ll adore…

Handbag Experience 

Monochrome and simple white prints have been spotted making their way down the catwalks and into designer stores lately. From London Fashion Week SS13 to high-street shops, black and white handbags are becoming a huge hit everywhere, so once again Mel Boteri have got it right. This bag feels fashionable, comfortable and elegant to wear and the detachable strap means it will suit a range of different style. The bag can feel quite heavy, especially if overfilled, so be careful not to overload it and if possible carry it in your hand for optimised comfort. But don’t forget, Mel Boteri offer you, the customer, a chance to customise your handbag, so you can change the strap to a different material, length or position if you feel the need. An added bonus is that the bag comes in a cute and small dust cover, which will keep it safe and away from harm when you are not using it but makes is still easy to store.

Interior 

The interior of this clutch is one of our favourite things about the bag. Lined with the signature Mel Boteri turquoise suede leather, the interior of this clutch just oozes luxury.  There is also a slip pocket as well as a zipper pocket with key clip, how practical!

Material

Made from black calf-skin leather trim, the bag is certainly durable.  The funky tassel adds dimension to a white calf-skin base for an overall classic yet fashionable finish. All Mel Boteri bags are 100% leather, handmade in Portugal for superior quality and craftsmanship.

BagServant’s thoughts 

We love a clutch! Especially one that isn’t so itsy-bitsy that we can’t take out any of our evening essentials. This clutch is spacious, smart and undeniably fashionable. It also has the versatility factor. Not only would it look great with a black evening dress, it would also perfectly accompany a work suit. We can’t really fault this clutch and feel it really does tick all the boxes. Our tip would be to wear it without the strap as it can get heavy when full, but other than that, it is the ideal evening handbag perfect for any event.
