Totally surprised that this elegant clutch is from Temperley. The sleek art deco influenced silhouette is a huge departure from her usual fussiness. At first I thought the golden arches were metal but upon closer inspection, it's actually strategically placed beads and sequins on black satin. I am off to meet my cabinet maker to discuss my new bag closet right now, we are dedicating an entire wall to display my clutches. Would love to add this to my collection but I don't think Temperley warrants a four figure beaded clutch, that's what I'm willing to pay for a well made exotic clutch but a beaded satin clutch that could fall apart in a few years? Beautiful it may be, I'll have to pass. Temperley London Ophelia Evening Clutch $1350 What about you? Do you think it's worth it?
I agree. It's a lovely clutch - but at that price? No thanks.
Is it worth it? For me that now depends on who made it and how. I have zero interest in mass produced, pennies per hour/near slavery conditions made stuff that has a slick marketing campaign behind it.
If Temperly had it made by craftspeople earning a living wage then possibly, but the design seems not quite special enough to me. Nice, but not showstopping.
Hey Tina,
I have been regularly reading your bag and must say I LOVE IT. You do an amazing job at picking the right bags to write about.
I would be very interested in seeing your bag closet. It would be nice if you could share pictures of your bag closet someday with your readers!
tina, It a pretty clutch upon first glance, but not worthy the four figure price tag which to me seems to be randomly tagged on. Plus the bag is nothing too unique. I'm sure this will be in the sales bin at the end of the season.....On the other hand, love to glance into your bag closet!
I feel like you can get the same bag @ an Antique Store or something else!!! I think it would be ebetter that way, because for one it wouldn't be so overly priced, but it also has a history, which I always LOVE!!!!
