Clutch Crush

Attention all handbag lovers: I have some big news to report to you today! Are you sitting down? Fashion label Helmut Lang has just given birth to their first ever collection of bags…and they are beyond! Calling out one of my top picks from the inspiring group, I am absolutely wild over the Styx Clutch, shown above in blood red.

Constructed with an unanticipated perch leather—which is uniquely gorgeous to look at and tough to the touch—this large envelope-shaped hand candy, like the many other beautiful bags from Helmut Lang’s debut lineup, is a seamless extension of the label’s minimalist-with-an-edge style. Worn by day or night, it is destined to make a strong stamp on any look. In love. The perfect pop of red to your Valentine’s Day ensemble, I recommend rocking this clutch with a little black dress, patterned tights and leather shooties for a look he won’t forget. xoRZ
