I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if it's tacky to use a make-up bag as a clutch. I really love the magnolia pink woven leather and I found a make-up bag on ebay (I posted the link on authenticate this thread). Anyway, I wouldn't want to hide this gorgeous piece in my handbag. Would it be weird to use it as a clutch?

I think it would be perfectly fine. I think the BV clutch is gorgeous, but I like to carry more in the evening than I think it would be able to fit so a makeup bag which could be larger seems like a good alternative.

I think its fine. I have this cosmetic case that I use as a clutch. Some places call it a clutch others a cosmetic case. As long as its big enough you could use it
however you like.

^^I love this little bag. Do you find that it's big enough (length wise) to carry? I think it's about 6", is that correct?

I don`t mind women wearing a cosmetic bag as a clutch, even more since BV cosmetic bags don`t look as if you`re schlepping your tooth brush in them anyways ;o)

Marly, I may be wrong and that bagsforme`s clutch comes in different sizes, but there is a picture of it in the SS catalogue, page 85, and in comparison to the Sloane it doesn`t look so small...

^^NAP has gold in the larger size which measures 9.5". Mine is the smaller size. I measured it more like 7.5" x 4.5 x 3. BlueFly has it as 6" and NAP measures it 7. Its big enough for an evening bag.

Janinevs - I think the one you posted in the auth thread is authentic. You should check out BlueFly.com. They have several BV cosmetic bags.

I don't think there is any problem with carrying it as a clutch.

of course...then you'll need and excuse to get another clutch....and the cycle begins!

Think it's totally perfect to double the use of this makeup bag as a clutch! Especially if it justifies the purchase

We gave that bag away, and I had tried it on. It fit perfectly in my hand and was still a good size. I say go for it!

gro3602 · Jul 3rd, 2007, 09:27 AM

I just can't bring myself to putting make up in my BV makeup case! It will get marked up!
I use mine as an evening clutch.

boxermom · Jul 3rd, 2007, 12:30 PM

Use it exactly the way you want to! They will look great as a small clutch. I agree about putting make-up in them and worrying about marks inside!

silverstar · Jul 22nd, 2007, 11:56 PM

Just wondering, do you use the zip cosmetics case or the one that has the flap (with magnetic clip as posted above)?...

ouija board · Jul 23rd, 2007, 12:05 AM

To me, this is more of a clutch than a makeup case due to the flap and lack of zippers. I'm hoping to get this clutch in ferro. I plan to use it to hold my cell phone, lipstick, card case within my campana for everyday use, then be able to pull it out and use as a clutch for evening without shifting too many things around.

silverstar · Jul 23rd, 2007, 12:11 AM

Thanks for the idea ouija board~ hmmm....

I think it would be fine. it doesn't really look like a cosmetic bag, it just looks like a small purse. Don't hide it away in your bag!
