Strolling around the market in Covent Garden, I came across the Claudine London stall, dotted with colourful and sleek clutch bags.
The art-deco inspired design is very unique. The lovely Claudine herself was manning the stall, and she told me that each bag is hand made, with silk and velvet, and the perspex panels are sprayed individually, so they are all different (most bags have different colour on each side)!
From the Diffusion line, I loved the “Meriel” bag (pictured), which I picked up from the stall and held on to longingly. Apparently, the “Belle” is more popular, due to being bigger, thus enabling you to fit more in. The price for the smaller bags is around £50.
She also told me that she is working on one of the bigger bags of the collection tonight, the one she had on display was a gorgeous asymmetric delight of a bag!
Even though the online shopping page of her site has been removed as it is going through improvements, she said if I get in touch she will post the desired bag to me, or she will inform of her next Covent Garden market stall days!
So, if you are looking for a clutch bag that is elegant, unique, can make an outfit and a statement, look no further!
Nice article! I had never seen these kind of clutches before, so definitely very unique and being hand-made makes them all the more desirable. I am sure this must be a very popular store in London. Recently while shopping for clutches I did across another beautiful collection at http://www.chicastic.com – some of their rhinestone studded clutches are great.
