great to wear with
formal clothing.

the ground with the
sides rising high–

This bag is good for
casual wear.

The envelope clutch is
small and lays flat. This
handbag does not
feature a strap or
handles and must be
held. It is also one of
the smallest handbags

Quilted bags are inherently slouchy and
cannot stand upright on their own without
some reinforcement. Suitable for anything
beyond casual dress.
