Minaudieres...

Minaudiere \me-nohd-`yer\

A small case for cosmetics, jewelry, and other personal items.

These cute hard case clutches have mostly been reserved for the night...

evening wear, formal, or cocktail wear.

Now they are stepping into the light! More casual fabrics, textures, and metals make this old
standard look new and fresh and day wear appropriate! 

This basket weave minaudiere is so feminine and would look great with a tea dress or skirt.
Perfect to carry to a wedding, Sunday brunch, or baby shower.

This mesh metal minaudiere comes in silver and gunmetal. Would look so edgy with dark denim!

It features a  crystal topped kiss-lock and drop-in chain.

The stripes on this minaudiere make it cute, casual, and denim friendly...

even denim shorts!
