When I think of Lauren Merkin, I think of clutches, clutches, and more clutches. Typically though, the Lauren Merkin clutches I have seen were made of embossed leather. Occasionally, I’ve come across a satin or tweed design. But lace? Nope, never. So it’s no wonder that the Lauren Merkin Corded Lace ‘Lotte’ Clutch caught my attention. The lace is certainly unexpected, but I think it is absolutely adorable! I love how the black lace is accented with white cording. Plus the pleats give the clutch a nice softened look. I think this clutch would look great paired with a white or black cotton sundress. It would be perfect for a casual summer wedding! Or, if you wanted to it wear for a night out with the girls, you could pair it with an eyelet lace halter top! Cute!

The Lauren Merkin Corded Lace ‘Lotte’ Clutch features an envelope-style flap closure, complete with hidden magnetic “snap”. The clutch is lined with a pretty lining that almost looks (to me, anyway) like seersucker. And don’t let the pictures fool you, this clutch is actually pretty decent in size. It measures 11.5″ x 6″ and it retails for $220. Find it at shopbop.com.
