I've owned a little black dress and silver shoes for a long time, but I've never had a matching clutch to go with it. I bought this lovely silver clutch to complete my outfit for a business event. It's a classic look with enough inside storage for the evening (lipstick, credit cards, money), but it won't hold my large iPhone. It's shiny but not overly so, which is tasteful for me. It can be carried in-hand or over the shoulder because it has a fine link chain strap that fits inside the clutch or comes outside. I like it very much. If it gets a little dirty, you can wipe if off with a mild soap solution.
