Spikes & Sparrow Leather Clutch – Cherice – Dark Brown

Spikes & Sparrow Cherice dark brown leather clutch for women

The Spikes & Sparrow Cherice in dark brown is a leather clutch for women looking for a compact evening bag with two distinct looks. The front features a crocodile-pattern embossed on the leather, whilst the back has been deliberately kept smooth. This makes it easy to choose between a striking crocodile look and a subtle, minimalist style.

The beautifully finished metal frame and clasp give the Cherice a modern and sophisticated look. Carry the clutch in your hand at a dinner party, wedding, celebration or a night out. With the included detachable shoulder strap, you can also wear the bag comfortably over one shoulder if you prefer to keep your hands free.

Two different looks in one clutch

The Spikes & Sparrow Cherice stands out thanks to the contrast between the front and back. The crocodile-effect pattern on the front gives the dark brown clutch a distinctive and luxurious look. The smooth back, on the other hand, has a more understated appearance and really shows off the natural nuances of the Apache leather.

You decide which side to show, making it easy to match the bag to the occasion. The metal frame frames both sides and gives the clutch its distinctive, elegant shape.

The Cherice complements the Spikes & Sparrow Dionne handbag beautifully, as it features the same combination of crocodile-effect pattern, smooth leather and metal details.

What fits in the Spikes & Sparrow Cherice?

The Cherice is designed for those times when you only want to take your essentials with you. The main compartment has room for items such as:

• a smartphone;
• a compact wallet or card holder;
• keys;
• lipstick and small beauty products;
• a few personal accessories.

Thanks to the wide metal frame, the bag opens wide. This gives you a quick overview of the contents and makes your belongings easy to access.

Inside, you’ll find:

• one open slip pocket;
• A separate compartment with a zip fastening.

The slip pocket is handy for your mobile phone, card holder or tickets. Smaller valuables, such as jewellery, loose change or keys, can be safely stored in the zipped pocket.

Can be worn as a clutch or shoulder bag

Without the shoulder strap, you can carry the Cherice as a classic clutch in your hand. This makes it ideal for a dinner, a festive occasion or a night out when you want to take a compact bag with you.

With the detachable shoulder strap, you can transform the clutch into a small shoulder bag. Attach the strap to the metal rings when you want to keep your hands free, and remove it again for a more elegant look.

Hand-dyed dark brown Apache leather

The Cherice is first fully assembled and then hand-coloured and waxed on the outside. This traditional treatment creates vibrant colour nuances and subtle variations in sheen and texture. It also gives the crocodile pattern and the seams extra depth.

Apache leather is supple, thick, relatively light and soft. The material feels pleasant to the touch whilst being sturdy enough for regular use. As each clutch is finished individually, every piece has its own unique colour pattern.

The ‘dirty silver’ metal finish complements the warm, weathered look of the dark brown leather beautifully. The metal frame gives the clutch a refined silhouette and adds a bold touch.

Dark brown leather that becomes more and more personalised over time

With use, the Apache leather gradually becomes more supple. Small creases, subtle variations and signs of wear are part of the bag’s natural character and enhance its vintage look.

As a result, the crocodile-effect pattern on the front gains ever greater depth, whilst the smooth leather on the back develops a distinctive patina. This means that every dark brown Cherice becomes even more unique over time.
