Clare V. for Sephora Collection: Agnes Clutch | Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I did a fair amount of damage during the recent, and ongoing, Sephora Sale, and I am so happy that I purchased the Clare V. for Sephora Collection: Agnes Clutch! Clare Vivier, who is a local Los Angeles artisan, makes the most beautiful handbags, clutches (for which she is incredibly famous), wallets, apparel and sunglasses. I have long admired her beautiful creations, and couldn't believe that I was able to pick up this incredible bag for a mere $15.00.

This beautiful canvas clutch is very spacious, at 11.75" x 6.5", and it even includes an interior zip compartment. It is large enough to carry plenty of makeup and full-size makeup brushes, but given that it is 11.75" wide it will be too big for smaller handbags, but is very well suited to larger totes and travel bags. The zippers are smooth and don't skip or catch in the least bit.

La Beauté est dans la Rue (beauty is in the street), which comes from French poster art in May 1968, refers to a student uprising in Paris at that time.

 According to Sephora,

A trendy Clare V. canvas clutch that can holds your beauty essentials. Proudly made in the US, this trendy clutch embodies the elegantly simple signature Clare V. style, it can be thrown into any bag or taken out on its own. 

 Founded in L.A., where the product has been made exclusively since 2008, Clare V. is a handbag and accessories brand that offers an irresistible mix of Parisian influence, California cool, and everyday functionality with each new collection. SEPHORA COLLECTION has teamed up with Clare V. to create a limited edition collection of irresistible makeup bags that embodies the classic, yet playful aesthetic of Clare V. and the individuality of SEPHORA COLLECTION. This product is not tested on animals.

SIZE 11.75" x 6.5"

Interior Zip Compartment

Note how many brushes I stacked on top of the Agnes Clutch, and it will accommodate even more inside!

A Few Clare Vivier Wallet Clutches that are Calling My Name!!!!!

Clare Vivier Wallet Clutches are a true thing of beauty. The size that has really caught my eye measures 8"x 5" and starts at $85.00. Monogramming is available for select colors for an additional $50.00. I really want a whole stack of these beauties, but most assuredly one for my makeup! Now if I could only make up (pun intended) my mind!

Clare Vivier Pink & Orange Clutch

I am a HUGE sucker for the pairing of bright orange and pink (shocker given the blog color scheme, I know).  This is no new fetish either, I painted my childhood desk BRIGHT orange with magenta accents. So it's safe to say that this juxtaposition of oddly compatible colors has resonated with me my entire life. I love it in clothing, makeup, household accessories, and fashion accessories. I'd be tempted to buy a car with this color scheme too-- can you imagine a magenta Prius with a bright orange interior--but will have to refrain since they aren't (to my knowledge) available! You might look eccentric or über artsy driving it, but I think you could actually get away with it in LA. 

For now I will have to dream of this combination on a smaller scale- so with that in mind, I was delighted when my sister introduced me to Clare Vivier's gorgeous Pink & Orange Foldover Clutch. I love that this is a local Los Angeles company, but her products are widely available (click here for a list of retailers). I want to get my paws on one of her makeup bags in this color combination!!!!!

Clare Vivier also has a very cool blog worth checking out!
