While the clutch is for the masses, Minaudiere is for the classes. Besides, if the creations are as fancy as these minaudieres by Tamlin & The Fall, it would be sheer injustice to call them a clutch. These hand-held decorative cases from the Tamlin & The Fall capsule collection “The Space Between” are inspired from nature’s most enduring forms: the egg, the crystal and the shell, and are thus crafted from sterling silver, leather, hammered-chain and feathers. All pieces are handcrafted and are further available in a choice of luxury finishes including Vermeil (24K gold plated solid sterling silver), blackened/oxidized, acid finished matte with interiors lined in black alligator or natural rattlesnake. And like every high-end couture piece, these too can be tailored to suit individual needs. The custom options include metal finishes, leathers, colors, tassels and stones, and monogramming completes the customized touch. Each minaudiere comes encased in a beautiful, deerskin-lined wooden box and the price starts at $19,800. These palm-sized handbags will be your shot at fame, so get ready to pose like your fashion icon this party season.
