DVF Tonda Clutch in Pink Hair Calf, Gold or Silver
DVF Tonda Clutch in Pink Hair Calf
This DVF Tonda Clutch in pink hair calf leather is a structured, boxy clutch with the signature twig clasp in gold tone metal, and the bag has a metal frame which provides it with a solid structure.
Other features of the clutch include a removable gold chain handle for wearing it over the shoulder. Inside, the bag is lined in black material and there is a single pouch pocket, together with a goldtone DVF plaque.
Material: hair calf leather
Measurements: Width: 8.3″/21 cm, Height: 3.1″/8cm, depth: 2.4″/6cm (all measurements are approximate).
DVF Tonda Clutch in Gold or Silver
The clutch is now also available in gold or silver lambskin leather for the new season. These new season bags have a delicate snakeskin print embossing to the leather and instead of the signature twig clasp, they have a pushlock fastening. They are fully lined with an interior pouch pocket, and have a detachable gold tone chain strap.
They come with a DVF dust bag to keep them dust free when not in use.
Material: lambskin leather
Measurements: Width: 8.9″/22.5 cm, Height: 4.3″/11cm, depth: 2.4″/6cm (all measurements are approximate).
Style Note: The pink version is a luxurious clutch bag, in an interesting colour, named “Azalea” by DVF. It’s unusual, yet looks good against the gold hardware. Team the clutch with a gold dress if you have one (Halston Heritage did a wonderful gold lamé dress last season which you may be lucky enough to own, this season, Vivienne Westwood has a metallic lurex draped dress which would go perfectly with this bag). Alternatively, the bag would contrast well against any dark colour.
The gold and silver versions are strikingly eye catching and would look great teamed with a figure hugging frock and matching vertiginous heels.
