Elegant Black Silk Clutch, with String Strap

You’ll be out late with this clutch. Used only once on New Years Eve in 1998 (don’t ask), this petite “extra pocket” will carry everything you need. The overall formality of the piece is softened (literally) by the tiny ruffles and rounded edges. If you’re likely to lose it during the party, simply pull out the strap and throw it over your shoulder. Clamshell goes with everything, as you already know.
