Lauren Merkin clutches - opinions please

[Virgo]

I need a versatile black clutch for weddings and evenings out that I can use for years and years. I am checking out some of Lauren Merkin's and wanted your expert opinions.

Eve or Louise?

Eve is 9.5in wide x 4.5in tall
Louise is 14in wide x 7in tall

Woven Leather or Solid Lambskin?

I have two, both Louise, and I absolutely love them. I think it depends on how much you need to fit in it. The Louise holds quite a bit, cell, cigs and lighter, cc's and basic make up so you can also use it as an everyday bag.

I think they are nice. Classic enough to last for years!! Both are nice, I guess it depends on your style. More sophisticated or edgy fun!!

Any one you choose, I think will be great! Enjoy!

both are really nice, imo!
the woven leather is a bit more current than the regular leather, but they are still both classics.

they're beautiful, i'm in love with the tourquoise one....
i'd choose the Solid Eve as an evening bag!!!!

I'd also go w/ the Eve in solid lambskin. The Louise is a tad big for evening wear IMO.
