I have Jiges, but think both of these are beautiful. Of the two, aesthetically I prefer the Medor, plus I think it's a big bigger, and may be easier to use day to night. Best wishes deciding!
If you’re buying one of these to fulfill the clutch thirst and ultimately want a Kelly cut, etc…then I’d wait it out!!
Not sure about the current state of affairs but I had to order mine, my SA said they just don’t make a lot of them.
The mandatory hand-held clutches you are considering are sufficiently different from the Kelly variants, that you mentioned, for neither of them to be redundant when the Kelly opportunity presents itself. Neither seem particularly dress-down.
It is a matter of taste, but for me the Egee is smarter, dressier, more stylish - choose a suitable word or phrase.
Again, and personally, I never like any of the medor/collier variants.

I have the medor, egee and Kelly cut but I don’t wear them with formal gowns. For black tie occasions I use a miniaudiere.
I've had a medor clutch for years and absolutely love it. I've worn it for a night out and to more formal events (even weddings). Every time I wear it (especially when I pair it with a CDC), I always get stopped by others asking about it. I love that I never see anyone else wearing one and it's a statement piece in of itself. So if you find one, i say grab it! You won't regret it!
Gorgeous combo!!! I have black with palladium, but would love to add more
After reading this thread, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a well priced resale medor 29, ardoise (dark gray box leather), phw. I wanted a larger day clutch in a dark neutral that wasn’t black. (of course size 29 would be more casual). It’s not too reminiscent of a jewelry roll bc of its larger size, and it actually reminds me of when I collected jige PMs years ago. (This would be a bit deeper and more like an elan In shape. Now that I have one, I believe that even in a smaller size, it’s not formal, but perhaps could go with a simple cocktail dress. But, I’d be more likely to pair with jeans and doc martens or even shorts or a mini(Personal style choice). For a slightly dressier clutch, I occasionally use a black box kelly longue wallet ( fits an iPhone 14)

I tried a Vert Vertigo 23 (can't remember the leather). The colour was very nice with phw (although I prefer Bambou)
It was a jewellery travel jewellery roll. That is exactly what it is. NBS literally put it on hold and went to pick it up, I was so excited, I was beside myself. Sadly, I was totally unimpressed. I couldn't get the minimum in.
If it was black Box GHW 29, different matter. Elegance.
I also didn't like the K-C even though it looked very nice. Again, nothing fitted and things really need to fit effortlessly in these bags.
I have a BB 1938 (25) clutch. it's so perfect and it doesn't have hw so it goes with everything night and day. I wore it to the Olivier Awards (UK) with a couture crepe maxi, and also a classic grey Alexander McQueen (very) fitted suit (AW04) for my aunt's birthday (she loves the 1940s style and did themed party - I have 40s dresses but I didn't have an original 1940s suit).
