Voguish Affair: Minaudière's by Tarini Nirula

"I have always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman's outfit" I second this quote by Michael Kors. A woman's outfit isn't complete unless she has the right kind of accessories to go with it. One such fashion necessity is a clutch! Wether it's a casual brunch with your girls, a party or post work soirées, there is a statement clutch for every occasion and it is all you need to enhance your outfit.

I recently came across the uber stylish and high on utility clutches by Tarini Nirula and was completely smitten by her creative designs and detailed work. Having graduated from NIFT, India where she specialized in Fashion and Lifestyle Accessories, Tarini launched her own label of luxury fashion accessories in 2011 and has been designing enchanting clutches and bags since then. While interacting with her, I could sense the immense passion and zeal she has for her work which is clearly reflected in her clutches. She has recently launched two new collections which I would like to take you guys through and therefore I would be doing a series of posts featuring beautifully handcrafted minaudières' by Tarini Nirula.

Her latest collection draws it's inspiration from the beauty of nature and the the phenomena of ‘Iridescence’ - luminous colours that seem to change when seen from different angles. I will be talking more about her minaudières' in further blog posts until then have a look at how I styled her Minaudière 'Majestic', a striking statement piece clutch inspired by the shades of a majestic peacock feather and showcasing intricate bead work with sequins on the feather. The clutch has an optional antique gold chain, handwork on one side and peacock feather print on both sides, making it a perfect accessory for both Indian as well as Western occasions.

This is one of my most favourite pieces from Tarini's collection and I decided to style it with a plain dress to let the clutch do all the talking.
