Boho chic clutches for any fashionista
In December the focus is so often on dressing up to the nines but we’re secretly wanting to turn the tables on all out glamour and be fabulously understated. Sienna Miller embodied boho chic for most of the early noughties but we’re feeling it’s time for a revival. And we’re starting with the handbags.
These beautiful, understated clutches landed on the fashion desk this week and instantly had us cooing. Driftwood Bags, launched by Claire Cary earlier this year, is bringing original, luxury handbags to the nonconformist fashionistas out there.
Endearingly named Driftwood because “every piece of driftwood is unique and eye catching, you never know where it’s travelled and where it’s going next” the spirit of the brand embodies all the confidence, style and soul of bohemian beauties such as Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens and Sienna Miller.
The focus is on small, inspired ranges; Driftwood currently have two signature styles available in an array of unique colour combinations and each bag is curated with care, using only 100% dry milled nappa leather.
If Karl Lagerfeld’s recent Dallas spectacular is anything to go by, the western touch is officially de rigeur so why not introduce some Texan flair into your wardrobe with the “Raglan”; the boho fringe clutch is a beautifully rendered design with room for all our essentials. We’ll be pairing the navy version with leather leggings and a softly embellished blouse for an understated evening look, whilst the tan version will be the perfect accompaniment to a vintage inspired dress and ankle boots for feminine yet relaxed weekend attire.
For an easy work to play transition, we’ll be stowing the “Sunset” bracelet clutch in our handbags during work hours and then ditching the tote for evening. The clutch is adorned with a quirky tassle pull and an easy to carry bracelet strap, perfect for keeping close to you when dancing the night away. Simple and versatile, we’ll be slipping this metallic version nonchalantly onto our wrists to soften an all black ensemble for a pared back look.
