A wedding, a henna night, a celebration dinner: an evening bag is held in the hand or worn on the shoulder all night, and it shows in every photo. Here are our handmade evening bags and clutches, from the small bag covered in beads to embroidered velvet with a fringe. Each design exists once or in a very small series: the one you choose will not turn up at the next table.<\/p>\n
Two quick ways in: our beaded bags<\/a>, in white, black or colour, and our occasion clutches<\/a> in gold-embroidered velvet, designed for wedding and henna outfits.<\/p>\n Beaded bags<\/strong> (\u20ac45 to \u20ac129): white, black or amber-tone beads woven over the whole body, gold-tone or silver-tone frames, from the 10 cm minaudi\u00e8re to the rectangular bag that holds a phone.<\/p>\n Embroidered velvet bags<\/strong> (\u20ac115 and \u20ac125): burgundy velvet embroidered with a bouquet of beads and crystals, or with leaves and diamant\u00e9 and a long gold-tone fringe.<\/p>\n Japanese knot bags<\/strong> (\u20ac95): floral brocade or marbled fabric knotted through a gold-tone ring worn on the wrist, finished with a fringe.<\/p>\n Beaded satin pouch bags<\/strong> (\u20ac65 and \u20ac109): black or ivory satin gathered with a drawstring, embroidered or trimmed with beads, on a gold-tone chain.<\/p>\n Clutches<\/strong> (\u20ac49 to \u20ac120): gold-embroidered velvet, floral brocade on a chain, velvet with diamant\u00e9, emerald green metallic fabric, python effect with a wrist strap.<\/p>\n Guest, evening wedding:<\/strong> a black beaded bag or embroidered velvet, with a plain dress.<\/p>\n Guest, daytime or garden wedding:<\/strong> white beads, a bucket bag, or a Japanese knot bag in pale brocade.<\/p>\n Mother of the bride:<\/strong> a chain bag that leaves your hands free to greet guests, in velvet or beads.<\/p>\n Register office bride or engagement:<\/strong> ivory satin and pearlescent beads.<\/p>\n Henna night and North African wedding:<\/strong> burgundy velvet, gold embroidery and fringing, to echo the embroidered waistcoat and the jewellery set: see our ceremony jewellery sets<\/a> and our article on what to wear to a henna night<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most of our bags are 20 to 23 cm wide and 12 to 16 cm high: a standard phone, a lipstick, a card and keys. The minaudi\u00e8re (10 \u00d7 8 cm) holds only the essentials; the rectangular white beaded bag (20 \u00d7 25 cm) takes a phone with ease. Exact dimensions are on each product page.<\/p>\n The beads are woven row by row, the embroidery stitched one motif at a time, the fringes set by hand. No two bags of the same design are ever quite identical. More about our atelier<\/a>.<\/p>\n Store the bag flat in a fabric dust bag, away from light and damp. Beads: a soft brush, never water. Velvet: a soft brush, no steam on the embroidery. Satin and brocade: a dry cloth or dry cleaning.<\/p>\n From \u20ac45 to \u20ac129. Delivery by Colissimo from \u20ac4.50, complimentary from \u20ac49; dispatched within 3 working days; 14 days to change your mind.<\/p>\n A clutch is held in the hand and stays flat; an evening bag has a frame, a handle or a chain and leaves your hands free. For an evening of dancing, or a wedding where you\u2019ll be greeting lots of people, choose a chain.<\/p>\n A bright neutral: white beads, black and gold, or silver-tone. The bag picks up a colour from your jewellery, not from the dress.<\/p>\n On several designs, such as the embroidered velvet bags and the metallic bag; each product page says so.<\/p>\n Yes: it\u2019s a gift that lasts. The recipient has 14 days to change their mind.
