The Princess Evening Clutch is a timeless evening bag that is as essential in your wardrobe as that little black dress. The quilting detail and the decorative studs on the Flap give this bag that high end look. The metal V-frame adds structure and design creating that classic envelope style. On the interior of this clutch you will find plenty of room for items like your cell phone, a small wallet and lipstick. Also included is a zippered pocket for those smaller items that you like to keep secure. The clutch has a magnetic closure and a removable chain so you can go from a shoulder bag to a hand clutch as needed.
A perfect clutch with a classic style for every occasion!!!
