The glove clutch is one of the iconic items of the Parisian company, founded in 1893 by Rigaudy-Perrin. The collaboration started back in 2015 when Zaha Hadid received a Perrin Paris clutch as a gift. The partnership came right after with a series of seven clutches with three different sculptural metal glove-pieces – Strae, Loop and Mobi. The leather clutch is finished in five colours: black, white, blush, lipstick and electric blue, with sculpted metallic glove-pieces in a variety of finishes including gold, rose gold, silver, or the red and blue of their corresponding leather clutches. The fluid forms of each metallic glove-piece have been designed and crafted to enable the clutch to be worn on either the right or left hand.
