At a North African wedding, as at a henna night, the outfit is rich: a caftan or Kabyle dress, an embroidered waistcoat, gold-tone jewellery. The bag has to hold its own without adding one colour too many. Here is how to choose it, alongside our guide to North African ceremony outfits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The embroidered clutch, the classic choice<\/h2>\n

The occasion clutches<\/a> in gold-embroidered velvet echo the embroidery of the waistcoats and boleros. They are held in the hand, like an envelope: ideal for a guest who stays seated at dinner and dances without a bag. Black and amber, burgundy and garnet, midnight blue: each picks up a colour from the waistcoat\u2019s embroidery.<\/p>\n

The embroidered velvet bag for the evening<\/h2>\n

For a dressier outfit, or if you want your hands free, the embroidered burgundy velvet bag with fringe<\/a> carries embroidery, diamant\u00e9 and a long gold-tone fringe that moves as you dance; its detachable chain takes it onto the shoulder. The burgundy velvet bag embroidered with a bouquet of beads<\/a> is more understated.<\/p>\n

Henna night colours<\/h2>\n

A henna night calls for warm shades: red, burgundy, orange, green and gold, depending on the family. The bag stays within that range or moves to a neutral gold. The red and black beaded clutch<\/a> and the black beaded bag with an amber flap<\/a> are good examples. You will find every outfit idea in what to wear to a henna night<\/a>.<\/p>\n
