Get your clutches on Nelle
Minneapolis-based accessory designer Laura Nelli taught herself how to sew in 2004. She's come a long way from fiddling with a used sewing machines — her ribbon and silk charmeuse Midnight Cherub clutch ($95) was recently featured in Oprah magazine:
Her pieces are feminine and a bit edgy at the same time. The textured Perfectly Petersham clutch ($190) is perfect for the fashion-forward bride (in cream) or her attendants (perhaps in magenta or chartreuse):
It's made entirely of Petersham ribbon and was also a finalist in the 2008 Independent Handbag Designer Awards.
(I clearly have weddings on the brain — wedding season is in full swing, after all. Two down this summer, two to go.)
