Jacquemus clutches compared

The Rond Carre

The Rond Carre is a folded pouch closed with the round and square clasp the line is named for. It rolls open to reach the inside. The new Burgundy version is smooth lamb leather. The Natural and Black Knot version is linen and cotton, a lighter choice for warm evenings.

The Salon

The Salon is the long one, at 35 cm across, closed with a Rond Carre clasp. Its thin shoulder strap comes off, so it works as a clutch at dinner and as a shoulder bag during the day. Coveti has it in Burgundy, Off-White and Brown.

The Valerie and Bambino clutches

The Valerie clutch takes the folded shape of the Jacquemus Valerie bag, named for Simon Porte Jacquemus’s mother. The Leopard Beige and Black version pairs with the new Paloma Jacket in the same print. The Bambino clutch takes the house’s Bambino bag into a hand-held size. For the shoulder versions, see the Jacquemus bags guide.

Which Jacquemus clutch to buy

• For evening only: the Small Rond Carre in Silver, the smallest and lowest-priced at $1,360.
• For day and night: the Salon, because the strap comes off.
• For a print: the Valerie clutch in Leopard Beige and Black.
• For a classic colour: the new Rond Carre in Burgundy.
