The Cassandra Clutch began as a sketch inspired by a vintage evening bag spotted in Florence – an elongated silhouette that rested beautifully against the body and sat just as well on a dinner table. Cassandra reinterpreted the idea through a modern lens: softened curvature to mirror the natural lines of the body, a top handle that collapses to transform into a sleek clutch, and a closure that disappears into the design.

The hardware is inspired by Aureum’s sculptural Vienna Earrings—clean, romantic forms with subtle architectural tension. Each curve, proportion, and shadow was intentional: how the bag feels in the hand, how it drapes on a table, how it transitions seamlessly from an afternoon espresso to a 9:00pm reservation.

Italy is at the core of Aureum. The majority of our collection is made in family-owned ateliers, the same partners trusted by the world’s leading luxury houses. Generations of artisans use time-honored techniques to shape our designs. These ateliers are more than collaborators; they are our partners in craft, preserving the quiet prestige of Italian heritage while giving soul and structure to Aureum.
