What handbag for black tie event / maroon outfit?

[YoniMakesTheWorldGoAround]

Hello,

I am going to a black tie event on Tuesday, I've got a maroon outfit and gold shoes - picture of shoes on profile.

I'm always rubbish at picking handbags, and I'm struggling to find a handbag to match the shoes, they are quite a mustard-yellow gold.

Could I get away with a completely different colour? I've got a dusty-pinkish brown sequinned clutch...

Thank you oh wise women of the S&B board

Can't see your profile (not public) but you'd not go far wrong with a black sparkly job IMHO. MAtching bag and shoes is old hat anyway, unless you're going with a vintage look of course.

Sorry, public now.

I probably have a black evening bag somewhere, I just wondered if it would be a bit boring...

Ooh! THey're great!

Do you have a photo of / link to the dress?

Black isn't the most inspired choice, no. Safe though. I'd be inclined to go with a pattern / floral myself. As long as it tones with the dress or shoes it's easy. this? is massive though. this is maybe a bit fussy.

A plain colour in a similar tone to the shoes could be great too but you'd have to have all 3 pieces together IRL to have any chance of getting it right. a 1/4 of a tone off and it could be a disayter. Maybe green? turquoise? The right pink or orange could be good too.

No good photo I'm afraid but this is the closest I can find on google images - similar shape but not so shiny:

Can I get away with a colour competely different to the shoes?
