This New Zealand-made Finesse evening bag is all silver shimmer and lovely frame-bag structure. The soft lurex body has that fine metallic surface that shifts between silver and pewter as it moves, with a decorative silver-tone metal frame, neat kiss-lock clasp and fine chain handle. Inside, the mauve-toned lining has a small internal pocket and the surviving Finesse label reads Made in New Zealand. A very good little piece of local fashion history, and exactly the sort of bag that makes getting dressed feel like an event again.

Carry it from the chain with a column dress, tuck the chain inside for a clutch shape with wide-leg trousers, or pair it with a soft blouse, denim and silver jewellery. It also works beautifully with cherry red, cream, black satin or a smoky pewter knit.
