It is a handsome clutch and the build quality is clear the moment you pick it up. The clasp is slightly stiff when new, so opening it with one hand took some practice in the first week. It has eased with use over a few weeks, and now I barely notice it. The interior is lined neatly and holds a surprising number of essentials for its size. I bought it for my wife, who loves how it looks with her evening outfits and wears it more than anything else. I would recommend it with that small caveat, and I suspect most buyers will find the clasp relaxes quickly.
At my own bridal shower I carried this clutch and several cousins asked about it right away. It held my phone and a few things I needed, and the shape looked lovely against my dress. The finish felt festive and grown up at the same time, which is a hard balance. I appreciate knowing it was handcrafted with care and not churned out on a line. It is light and easy to hold for hours, even when I was opening gifts. I plan to use it again for my engagement photos and the other events leading up to the wedding. A beautiful accessory that has made me happy.
I carried this clutch to our Diwali gathering and it got more attention than the jewelry I was wearing. It holds my phone and a lipstick without bulging at all. The finish is bold in a refined way, and it sat easily in my hand through hours of greeting guests and passing around sweets. The closure is firm, and the lining feels neat and clean when I reach inside. I love that something this festive was handmade in India by people who are treated fairly. My aunts passed it around the room and all agreed the craftsmanship was excellent. It has already earned a permanent place in my wardrobe for every celebration to come.
I shop with care about where my purchases come from, and behno is clear about how it works with artisans. This clutch is a pleasure to own, with straight stitching and a lining that feels well chosen. I bought it for my partner as an anniversary present, and she has since used it at several events. It is light enough to carry all evening without any discomfort. Because the finish holds up so well, I expect she will have it for many years. It is rare to find a dressy accessory that feels good ethically and also looks this polished on the arm.
