Clutches and evening bags, however, are where I get more creative. Preferential treatment goes to anything animal textured - croc, alligator, bonus points for ostrich- and I tend to experiment more with color and detailing.
On a trip to Beirut last year, I discovered the Dareen Hakim Collection. For me, the Middle East's balance of modern glamour and tradition is an inspiration, and I was totally enamored with the way each bag in her line struck this balance perfectly. Rich colors, vibrant gold details, unique inscriptions in Arabic calligraphy.
Devoted fan that I am, I've already queued up the next addition to my collection: Le Icon in Dune, pictured here. This stunning clutch is available in a number of colors, materials, and arrives engraved with one of four phrases. A sunny yellow bag that literally says "happiness?" Want it, need it, have to have it.
is the dune in suede or leather?

ReplyDeleteThe Dune is in suede- isn't that gorgeous? The bag comes in lots of colors, and they have it in a croc print as well.
