Accessories Trends SS 2014: Season's Funkiest Clutches

Our readers would know all about our clutch and bag obsession. And hence I wanted to present these two micro-trends from SS 14. One's whimsical and rather refreshing, whereas the other simply epitomises words such as chic, glam, et al.

1. Strong on summer themes, clutches of SS 2014 embrace graphic glory!

How about some cool graffiti upon your hand-candy? SS 2014 had signature clutch-specialists adding more bold illustrations to their designs. Urania Gazelli's handmade plexiglass collection is inspired by playing card motifs. That's a king in your spring -- with customisable monograms. Edie Parker did a beach inspired collection. Limited to his signature shapes, and enhanced by seaside graffiti, fruit patterns, and stripes, these are surely to become a collector's hottest finds from the designer. I was also happy to see very limited glitter, unlike his previous collections. Brazil's darling, Serpui Marie had ample numbers inspired by animal designs -- owl, giraffe, zebra, and this macaw clutch that I totally love.

2. Blinging just about right, metallic fervour descends season after season!

Metallic is one trend that pops in and out every season in a variety of forms-- from trims, to accents, to even full-fledged coverage. And out of the repertoire of metallic clutches this season, I feel these stood out. Louboutin's oval clutch has signature studs and a bullet clasp. Nina Ricci's minaudier was accentuated with a mirror mosaic. Anya Hindmarch's shape is the factor that caught my attention. Valentino's golden clutch has golden gryphons caressing it on either side.
