Hi all
So I am a fan of all things Balmain and recently bought the most incredible black mini, long sleeve dress with gold diamante and beaded fringing. This brought two of my loves together - Balmain + fringing.
Therefore, I couldn't resist when I saw this Balmain black suede and beaded detail with fringing clutch with gold hardware. FAINT! However, the issue I'm having is it works if I carry it by the detachable gold handle (which I fear may be a bit clunky with an evening dress), but carrying it without is really awkward as the normal thing to do is grip the underside of the clutch and that's not possible due to the fringing.
I attach stock photos and images of me holding it (the model of course makes it look easy! ). I would be supremely grateful if you'd provide your honest, brutal thoughts as to whether I should keep or return this clutch. I think we may all agree it looks amazing, but if it's going to be impossible to hold, I probably need to face reality and invest the not insignificant money into another purchase.
Thank you ALL so much in advance for your advice!!!
PS I couldn't find a dedicated Balmain thread, which is why I'm posting a new one, but moderators please move this if I somehow missed something. Thank you.
