Story & heritage
The Scissor Clutch is one of the clearest examples of Bittar’s post-2021 handbag language: a classic structured clutch interrupted by a theatrical object. The official description says it draws on Bittar’s love of symbols and surrealism.
It also keeps the jewelry connection visible, using hand-sculpted liquid clear Lucite and gold-plated metalwork as the visual focal point rather than treating hardware as background.
Materials & craft
The official page lists smooth full grain Italian leather, microsuede-blend lining, 14k gold plated metalwork and Lucite. It includes a detachable 14k gold plated snake chain, magnetic flap closure, interior card pocket and metal feet; measurements are 12 inches by 5.5 inches by 3.25 inches.
How to choose & style
Style The Scissor Clutch as the visual anchor rather than a quiet basic. Keep nearby pieces simpler when the silhouette is large; stack or pair it with adjacent Alexis Bittar pieces when you want the full sculptural effect.
For color and finish, let the official variants guide the mood: clear Lucite feels sharper and lighter, gold-plated metal reads warmer, and crystal or metallic leather moves the piece toward evening.
