Why it's worth it

Bring it to dinner and place it smack in the middle of the table.

The Edit

Fully handcrafted in brass with a lacquered silver finish, this crab-form clutch opens via a top-mount kiss-lock frame closure — the kind with two turquoise cabochon studs standing in as eyes. The shell body is hollow-cast with surface relief mimicking the natural ridges of a crab carapace, and because each piece is made by hand, the finish reads slightly different on every bag.

Insider Tip

No two are identical — the 'imperfections' are the point, not a quality miss.
