Opinions on Lauren Merkin clutches?

[daniela127]

I'm thinking about buying this clutch:

does anyone have it and can show me some pics?

does anyone have any opinions on lauren merkin in general or this clutch specifically?

and finally (and most importantly!) does anyone have any codes?

thanks!

I purchased a couple of Eve's on sale a while back, and posted pics, here's the thread:

The quality of workmanship and the leather is really nice -- very soft. However, I thought the Eve would be too small to be useful to me.

I have this bag actually! I absolutely adore it to pieces because there is no dress that it cannot match! It looks stunning on blue, purple, black, white, red, turquoise, just absolutely gorgeous!

And yes, it is small, I also took a picture of it in comparison to my Kooba Mackenzie so you can sort of have another clutch point of reference. But to be honest, when I want to wear a clutch, it's to something that doesn't require me to haul my life in a huge bag. Cash, debit card, license, lipstick, eyeliner, compact, phone, pen, tide to go pen! the bare essentials!

thanks! your clutch looks stunning...

i think i'm going to think about it for a few days, look around for some codes, and then buy it.

does anyone know where i can get it for a discounted price?

It's an absolutely lovely clutch and the quality is 10x better than I was expecting. I definitely am a lauren merkin convert now.

As far as codes go, there was one a few months ago, but that expired. I don't know how often codes are released, but I'm waiting on one to get an Emma shopper.

Also, I don't know if this particular serpent detailing is popular enough to be bought anywhere else (like activeendeavors, revolve, etc) but you can always check ebay. I believe that I saw one a week back for 110 that wasn't selling.

^^ thanks for the tip - it's not on ebay right now, but i will check back throughout the week. maybe it'll make another appearance?

i think lauren merkin clutches are nice (and the price point is great), but they are so ubiquitous. why not get something a little different, that not everyone has? r & y agousti clutches for example are exotics and come in under $300 also. you can pick them up at barneys. i don't know, i'm just so tired of seeing the same things on everyone these days. maybe i'm just on an exotic kick; you can also pick up the cheap devi kroell ones at target next month.
