Handbag of the week: Bottega Veneta

By Jemma Tibbals

Mauve clutch, £580 by Bottega Veneta at Matches

When our friends over at Matches gave us a heads up that this divine clutch was available from the start of this week we felt it was only fair to share the news with you.

This clutch sports the classic Bottega Veneta weave in a subtle mauve shade which is teamed with a giant gold knot clasp to top it all off. The beauty of a minaudiere (and this is beautiful, non?) is that it revolutionises the way you dress. Surplus goods are a no-no and who needs all that extra make-up anyway? When you're toting a tiny clutch such as this you will instantly look more radiant, more chic and indisputably effortless (that holy grail of stylish dressing).
