Hi everybody,
I've been deliberating on a clutch and have narrowed it down to 2 (I also posted on the Hermes forum):
Option 1: Hermes Medor Clutch
I would be getting it in black with phw, probably the smaller medor.
Pros: I love the edgy yet elegant look. I have a CDC and it's my favorite bracelet/cuff.
Cons: The original looks too big, but sometimes I think the 23cm/mini/pochete looks too small on me. I feel like Goldilocks! Also, my DH hates the look - he hates studs/spikes/things that stick out. He hates my CDC. He also says, he doesn't think it's a "classic" look and will be dated soon.
Here is a picture of the original sized Medor:
Here is likely mini action shot:
Option 2: Bottega Veneta Elongated Knot
I would get this in black with snakeskin trim
Pros: It's elegant and bigger than the classic knot, so I can fit more into it. My DH likes it a lot more than the Medor.
Cons: It's extremely heavy! It feels like 5 lbs when it's empty! I think the croc (seen below) is much lighter, but I nixed the idea as soon as my DH said it looked like a large eyeglass case
This is the closest representation to what I'd be getting (here in black satin):
Here is the croc version:
Here it is open:
I'll be trying them both on again soon, but would like opinions too please! Also, does anyone here have the elongated knot clutch? Do you find it too heavy?
