The Find: a purple envelope clutch that will carry a woman’s day-to-day essentials

At this point in The Find’s coverage, it should come as no surprise that spring is a season of colour, and we recommend embracing it despite the somewhat bleak weather we’re having at the moment. We found this purple suede clutch by Ela at Narwhal Boutique, and not only did the colour take us out of our it-doesn’t-feel-like-springtime slump, we loved the asymmetric closure on what would otherwise be an everyday envelope clutch (this feature serves as the skeleton of the bag, but we just think it looks unique). Each of designer Ela Kowalewska’s bags are made in Toronto, which fulfills any local-only shopping interests we may have, and the clutch, named M.I.L.C.K (money, ID, lipstick, cellphone, keys), promises to comfortably fit a woman’s daily essentials. Frankly, we’re tired of seeing ubiquitous bags from Louis Vuitton and Chanel around Toronto, and if what it takes for those numbers to dwindle is to carry something that reminds us of grape soda, we say do it.
