What’s the latest from our beloved Jack and Lazaro? This season, Proenza Schouler takes their signature metal fold-over clasp and appropriates it on a hard-case minaudière. The result is nothing short of magical.
Who knew their closure could look so thrilling at this point? The obvious and expected thing to do would be to set their trademark on a plain old rectangular box, but the slickly curved top of this clutch makes it special. With the tool-inspired hinges, this isn’t just a piece of hardware you want to wear; it pays homage to padlocks and power tools but without a hint of rugged clunk or unnecessary chunk.
A silver-tone brass façade gives way to an interior of plush beige suede, for a lovely (and accommodating) play on hard and soft. The only foreseeable issue? Just try keeping smudges and fingerprints off this treasure box! Sometimes the threat of neurosis is worth it. I’m more than willing to keep Windex wipes on hand for this sleek silver bullet. The boys have done it again – we are in love. Proenza Schouler silver clutch on NET-A-PORTER for $2,195.
Pair with: I would love to see this contrasted against something ornate and delicate. Like Nicholas Kirkwood pointy-toe pumps of beautifully laser-cut leather set in a floral motif (the gold stiletto introducing some subtle metal-mixing, so be sure to capitalize on the effect when choosing your jewels).
I love it! So pretty!
