Modern Purses Inspired by the Last Century in Fashion

In the roaring '20s, women started becoming more independent. They were wearing makeup (gasp!), paying their own way, and going out without a male companion. So, naturally they needed to carry a few small items like lipstick, house keys, and money. Thus the clutch was born. This elegant beaded version from Marni clearly pays tribute to the '20s while maintaining a modern edge with a tough aesthetic created by the jagged beads in multiple shapes and sizes.
