Metallics are great because they go with everything—you can dress up jeans, or add a bit of glam to an otherwise plain black dress. If you’re in the market, this gold clutch by the Magnes sisters may be just what you’re looking for.

Just large enough to hold your evening essentials, yet small enough to balance comfortably in your hand, this clutch is a pretty alternative to the many other varieties of tiny metallic bags floating around.

The pleating adds an extra element of detail, as does the gold fold-over “handle (hint: the top doesn’t drape over as you are led to believe—instead the bag unzips on top of the fold and is cleverly designed to lead us to think otherwise).

It retails at $224 and also comes in other shades, (cherry red, grey and a luscious plum) but the metallic is by far the most universally usable. Purchase online at Nordstrom.com and www.magnessisters.com
