English term or phrase: Piper clutch
No context, it is a list of items. This one refers to a small bag, but I have no idea of what "piper" refers to... Any hints? TIA

Selected answer:Piper = name given to particular product or style
Explanation:
Although it is possible "Piper" refers to an actual brand (hopefully you should be able to tell from the rest of your document), it seems likely that Piper is simply the name used to designate a particular style.

See the example of the bags offered by Tiffany & Co. In this case, the brand is Tiffany and each bag has been given a name. They offer Piper Clutch, Charlotte Clutch, Holly Clutch, Vivian Clutch, City Clutch, Morgan Clutch, Lyn Clutch, Savoy Clutch, etc.

In another example, Storm is the brand and Piper is the product name.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Why Italian? It is a monolingual question (English to English).

  -> Sorry, my mistake. There are two very similar questions and I didn't know it. So I answered one thinking it was the other, several hours after I had first seen it , wondering why no one had done it yet!
