Chic little Carla Rosa leather clutch bag from Italy: the Blue Rose

The cute Carla Rosa leather clutch, hand made in Italy, caught our eye at the London fashion shows. In Blue Rose, with its overlapping leather ‘petals’, culminating in a raised rosebud, it is small, chic and fabulously floral—perfect for summer.

When you need a feminine bag to add the finishing touch to a light suit or dress for a wedding or garden party, puppy show or race meeting, the Carla Rosa is just right.

Hook it over your wrist with its slim short strap and you will still have two hands free for your glass, canapé or racecard: or remove the strap and carry in your hand like a purse. Worn either way, it’s perfect at 5in (127cm) in diameter and 1in (2.5cm) deep, with room for credit cards, change purse, tickets, compact, lipstick and other essentials. It is fully lined and the half-zip gives easy access and security.

In Blue Rose, it’s great with this season’s fashion colours.

Non-Members £40. CCUK £16 including UK mainland delivery.
