CITYist

If you’re like me, you opt for basics when it comes to dress and let your accessories do the talking, or to be more appropriate, the show-stopping. There’s something about a woman who can turn a room full of heads with something as simple as the purse she’s carrying, and that’s the precise effect Fendi’s Daisy Clutch had on me this afternoon. Walking by Fendi’s storefront window on Fifth Avenue, I was instantly taken by the handbag’s impossible-to-ignore design. Inspired by traditional African folk art and put together with shimmering beadwork, colored mink fur trim and leather, the Daisy Clutch makes for the perfect statement piece that is sure to wow any crowd at the next cocktail party…or even at the next street over.
