I have more classic taste but think these are all fine. The first one isn’t to my taste but I like it has a zipper. I would not buy the Tokyo because it doesn’t secure things from falling out or being pickpocketed which is important to me, but usually when I go out to fancy occasions I’m in a Euro capital where that is an issue.

Bottega Veneta small black clutch. It's been my go-to for 20 years. I purchased directly from the factory back when they did tours and you could meet the artisans. Quite the experience. I also use a Kelly Pouchette in black crock for some events, and for more casual parties I like to check out the high street shops for fun clutches.

Staud has some nice basic bags. Here’s a croco finished bag for $350.

This isn't for very formal gala events, more like dressy dinner dates, Christmas parties, etc. I prefer gold or no holdware and ideally with a crossbody strap or handle.

What would you suggest?


Patent leather is a very casual material.


No, it isn't. Honestly that's a bizarre take.

The first one is nice but the second looks like a Queen Elizabeth purse.
