The Lana Beaded Clutch would best suit a solid-colored gown in the gold, yellow, cream or bronze color range. It would also make a dramatic statement with a little black dress as its backdrop.

       At first glance the Badgley Mischka Envelope Clutch, when sporting its detachable strap that can be carried in the hand or over the shoulder, resembles a slightly largish “Kelly” bag rather than the slim rectilinear shape generally associated with a clutch.

       A big step up from the usual suede and fringe fabrication of most drawstring bags, the Badgley Mischka Kara Drawstring Satchel enriches the look with subtle coloring, trim and gleaming goldtone hardware.
