THE PENCIL CLUTCH IN RED BLACK & WHITE ASOOKE

BY URBANKNIT

product information

The 'Pencil' clutch is a new minimalist style clutch. If you want an accessory that is bold and distinct, yet simple, this is for you.

It is made out of African 'Aso-oke' fabric from Nigeria in West Africa. This heavy fabric is hand-woven, giving it a weighty texture and feel similar to denim. Aso-oke is usually worn during more festive occasions by the Yoruba tribe in Southern Nigeria. It is almost always worn by a couple on the day of their traditional wedding day!

It can spice up an evening outfit or can be just as fun to wear more informally during the day. This clutch is quite roomy with enough space for a wallet, keys, phone, ipod, tissues. It is lined with heavy interfacing to maintain its shape and for extra durability. The insides are lined with dark red cotton for a soft interior.

Fastening: The clutch closes with a zipper.
