Accessory Obsession: Minaudieres That Make the Party Cut

The minaudiere has long been an evening favorite of ours. We love that we can carry it in one hand like a clutch or over the shoulder like a crossbody. It lends our after-hours style a “Who’s THAT girl?” sophistication we’re totally obsessed with.

Here are six of our fave party minaudieres and what we think you should pair them with…

Min·au·dière (mē-nōd-ˈyer): a small decorative case for carrying small articles (AKA quintessentials: smart phone, lipstick). Left to right, top to bottom: 

Python Print Mesh Minaudiere

WHY WE LOVE IT>> It’s darkly glamorous and serves up an exotic punch. 

WHAT TO PAIR IT WITH>> leather (or faux)LBDs

Deco Minaudiere

WHY WE LOVE IT>> Art deco is known for its dramatic opulence. Think Great Gatsby!

Cluster Jeweled Closure Minaudiere

WHY WE LOVE IT>> It has a decorative closure that adds modern decadence to any look.

WHAT TO PAIR IT WITH>> Studsleather (or faux)
