About the Item

Though it would be an eye-catching "something old" wedding accessory, this clutch is enough of a standout to hold its own in any formal setting. While its unusual oval shape is its most prominent feature, its textured surface—consisting of hundreds of pavé pearls—sets it apart from other evening bags. It reminds us of champagne bubbles.
