vixn.. you may be on to something ! I think though I'd like to see it on a bag though...

Do you think the pebbled luxe white would be too white?
No...but have you considered the pebbled luxe cream? That would be so chic for year around. And you know, I think Tropical Gal has a white Clutch Me...maybe she could post a pic?

I can't wait to hear what Jackie says!!!

Well, for me, I am deathly afraid of anything that is pure white!!! I am thinking that for one, whites are sometimes hard to match....if you will only be using it for your wedding day, then a white pebbled glossy would be great. But if you want to use it later I would go for something with a little bling, especially since you are thinking of going to the tropics.....how hot would a little bag with some shimmer be with a gorgeous tan???? I will write to Jackie and see what she has pix of!!!

the pebbled white is WHITE! It's beautiful, though, if you want a pure white. I was kinda tempted by it myself, and I don't really do white bags. It's glossy and so pretty.

KatieFinz et al.....

Jackie's response:

OH MY GOODNESS. THE MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Wait, I have an idea. Let’s do a slightly smaller version, call it the Marry Me and you’ll all have inspired a collection? Or we could even do a slightly different bag.



People could even give one each to their bridesmaids or something.


Looks like this one is a GO ladies....Katie, what color were you thinking for your wedding colors??? I have requested stamped crocco pix from Jackie in the white!!!

Katie - congratulations - I love a happy ending...

I have the croc stamped clutch me... I will try and post a pic by the weekend for you. I love it and my sister used it at a wedding at the weekend - such a great bag.

Hmm... I think the cream croc is too dark based on that pic.. and for some reason I'm not sold on the embossed croc print...
I was thinking of something lighter in color... if the pebbled white is too white, I think maybe the pearlized cream ? That way it will have a nice sheen?? or pebbled luxe cream?
I bet that jackie might be able to find a leather that will be perfect...

As for style .. i'm open to any clutch type bag! I bet between us and Jackie we could come up with the perfect 'marry me' bag!

I think a rounded clutch with a kiss lock would be sweet. Or many that could be the version for the bridesmaids. A Kiss Me.

Here are some swatches borrowed from Ms. Liz's thread:

Natural Pearlized

Natural vs Cream

I think all of these are too dark and not cheery enough for a wedding bag, unless you are going with an ivory or ecru dress. I am thinking that the leather in the CM on the website is different from the embossed leather above. But, if embossed is not to your liking then we HAVE to find something that is perfect for you!!!

I love the pebbled leather but agree that those 2 are too dark.... I am confident that Jackie will be able to find something :)

I lilac's idea...you could do a Kiss me for the bridesmaids (if you go that route), and a slightly larger Marry Me for you (which itself would be a smaller version of the Clutch Me).

However, I am thinking that if Jackie wants to be able to sell the bag to a broader audience, a Kiss Me would be the ultimate name, since it applies more broadly to consumers. Very cute, IMO.

As for colors -- ITA with the consensus thus far, the natural and cream pebbled leathers are too dark. I am all for a pearlized leather -- that would be very soft looking, and so chic -- plus I love the idea of highly wearable quasi-metallic for a special event.

How do you feel about a little pop of color, Katie? (Just throwing that out).

I think a sea blue or something like pixiechic's gorgeous pearlized pink Be Mine (which someone described as the inside of a sea shell) would be fab!
