This Glittery Buffalo Lucy clutch is quite a departure from the norm for Lauren Merkin. Just when I was comparing typically edgy Treesje’s Duchess bag to Lauren Merkin’s pretty and feminine standard fare, here the designer takes a cue from Treesje with tough, contemporary details.
Although the shape of the Lucy is as elegant and sophisticated as ever, it’s almost like a fish out of water with rocker-esque exposed zipper details. The zipper trim runs along the edges of the pleating as if purposely trying to accentuate the contrast between the two design features.
Despite my confusion over this new look from Lauren Merkin, the Glittery Buffalo Lucy is a rather fun, trendy handbag that benefits from a classic silhouette and quality craftsmanship. The hinged frame top provides easy access to the belongings you have stored in this mid-sized clutch.
There might not be much glitter on the Glittery Buffalo Lucy, or rather any at all in my estimation, but a hint of sheen to the black buffalo leather material adds some visual interest. This Lauren Merkin clutch retails for a respectable $295.
