the clutch
KAYU (meaning “Wood”) first emerged as an eyewear brand with their signature handcrafted bamboo sunglasses. However, since then the label has successfully expanded to produce ultra-sleek clutches inspired by the landscape and rich colours of Asia. Handcrafted using sustainably sourced shell, the ‘Betty’ clutch is an investment piece to snap up while stocks last. Polished pieces of shell create an intricate geometrical pattern with a strong metallic finish, encompassing two of the biggest trends of spring. Like all of the bags in KAYU’s SS12 collection, the ‘Betty Shell’ clutch is made by women’s co-operatives in Asia using traditional techniques, and 2% of revenue from each sale goes towards purchasing backpacks and school supplies for children in Cambodia. www.kayudesign.com
