80s evening clutch by Parfums Van Cleef & Arpels Paris, crafted in black satin and finished with elaborate tonal passementerie and a statement tassel.
The structured silhouette combines a curved flap with fan-like pleated satin, braided rosette detailing and sculptural cordwork — decorative elements that give the bag an Art Deco-inspired character.
A long braided cord allows the bag to be worn over the shoulder or crossbody, or tucked completely inside to transform it into a handheld clutch.
