Has anyone ordered the new Marcel Clutch bag? I am very tempted by the black colorway.

Hi renza! I saw it at the sample sale and was very tempted. I passed because I didn't need it (as if need had anything to do with it ... ) I'm having a bit of regret and might order it now. The leather is really yummy and the color combo is interesting (a little more muted than what I see on the website). I liked the white snake version too -- it's patent, which isn't clear from the photos on the site. Hotties have expressed much love for the Marcel in the past as a nice, practical not-too-small small bag that holds a lot. One thing you might want to consider -- the strap is not adjustable. it works as a crossbody on me but barely (i'm 5'4" and quite well-endowed on top), so it's either a long on-the-shoulder carry or a short crossbody. Adding a keyfob to the strap will give you a couple more inches. (Props to the Hottie whose idea that was when the Marcel first came out.)

I was surprised to see that the Marcel was a little smaller east-to-west than the turnlocks camera bag, which has a similar shape but a more versatile strap. No more of those on the site but there were some at the sample sale so they may turn up again somewhere.

Did you see the sparkly Staci at the sample sale? They posted a pic on fb. Man I want that bag. I hope some SS goods pop up on eBay. I bought some iridescent silver SLGs from the online sale and a pieced out satchel. I'm very intrigued by the goat leather.

Thanks for weighing in! I also definitely do not need a new purse ;) but this one jumped out at me, which hasn't happened for me with HH otherwise since they relaunched. I'm only 5'4" so I assume the strap would work for me.

ETA: I wish HH would make some smaller wallets. I still have my old Clara Clutch wallet, which I absolutely love, but I had to retire it because it was adding too much weight to my already heavy purses. I was thinking about the new Clara Clutch until I sternly reminded myself that I still had the old wallet and a Clara crossbody I never carry.

The classic clutch wallet is definitely lighter than the Clara. Holds a lot though so it's easy to load it up and make it heavy, if you know what I mean.

There's the adorable little Bungalow wallet. No inside shot though so there's no way of knowing how much fits inside.

I admit it. Pilots are my crack and now that they have them for 63.20 I caved and bought both colors a few minutes ago. I do worry the white snake will live next to her sister Rose Pilot in the closet due to my fears of either getting dirty!

Oh yes, pilots are my downfall. I have 4. I can't quite fit my iphone in the front pocket with a case on it but i love them. I too hate when they get dirty but am trying ot make myself use them more.
