Spring Forward: Opal Clutch
April 1st, 2009Whether you’re stuck in the Midwest digging out from one of those annoying late-in-the-season snowstorms or you’re on the coast trudging through a cloudy wet day, it’s safe to assume we’re all ready for some sunlight. We can’t think a single accessory that better exemplifies the bright, simple, happiness of Spring and Summer than the Opal Clutch.
While we were originally drawn to the stunning Starburst design, we love that there are multiple color options for more classic, subtle tastes. These
handwoven raffia clutches are made in Madagascar by a fair trade company that is dedicated helping women and families become economically independent.
