The Golden Clutch

Tucker Paisley Clutch

You’ve got your finger on the pulse.

What you don’t have it on is the growing number of useless items buried in that monster bag of yours. Dig as deep as you can: That lip liner is a goner.

Lighten your load with a featherweight Kimberly clutch from Tucker Paisley. It’s large enough to hold your evening-out essentials yet small enough that finding your way through it won’t require a flashlight and a shovel.

Delicate paisley designs in pink, black, or red cover the cotton clutch, and the top folds and snaps like a cinch. Fill it with everything you need (no, really) without weighing down your favorite summer look.

There’s also a line of cosmetic bags and cardholders as well as a few totes and satchels in the same pretty prints and colors.

You know, for when you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Available at Shake the Tree Gallery, 95 Salem Street, North End (617-742-0484). To see styles, go to tuckerpaisley.com.
