Clutch > Mini City!
Glazed purple is gorgeous.
I like the "Electric Sea" too that Zombie posted. In the link. But of the ones suggested... purple FTW.
Go for it!

I know that the clutch is on my wishlist, but I'm wondering if maybe the mini city would be a better size for me. The clutch measures 17.5" long and 12" high, whereas the mini city measures 12.5" long and 10" high. I think the mini city would be more my size, don't you?
Anyway, the person at Von Maur said that they could get me the mini city in platinum, glazed purple, or expresso. But they also said they might be able to special order another color if I wanted them to. What do you girls think? Clutch or mini city? What color?

I think you should go with the clutch.

It is actually very comfortable and totally cute. I carried my mom's and I loved it. Also the glazed purple sounds really pretty. I would go for that one.

JessLR · June 16th, 2008, 06:34 PM

Yeah, I love the purple too...it does sound pretty!

boysRsmelly · June 16th, 2008, 07:52 PM

Caitlin - I like the electric sea too, but I just bought a blue bag when I was on vacation. I guess this means its between the fuchsia and the glazed purple.

So girls, should I ask them which purple this purple is? And ask if they can get the fuchsia in for me? I'm still really leaning towards the Mini City since I typically carry bags that are between 10 and 12 inches in length. The Clutch is such a huge jump at 17 inches.

I really wish you could try them on.

I was having the same problem myself...that is why it took me over 6 months to choose. My local store didn't have the City Clutch so I wasn't sure of what it would look like IRL, until I saw Jess' pic with hers.
I am afraid that since you like smaller bags the Mini City might be too long for you?? I would have your SA get both of them for you and return the one you don't like.

JessLR · June 16th, 2008, 08:07 PM

bRs, I think the mini city would fit you best...but like ZG said...you can always return it!

I almost returned/thought about selling my F+C clutch cause I was unsure of it!

boysRsmelly · June 17th, 2008, 03:09 PM

Okay, I just heard back from the lady at VM. She said that they may be able to get the fuchsia in for me in the Mini City. I would have to prepay for it to have it sent. As for the glazed purple, she said it was the deep purple and not the violet.

Here's what it looks like... its almost black.

boysRsmelly · June 17th, 2008, 03:10 PM

So what do you think? Should I order the fuchsia? Or wait to see what colors come out for fall?

Zombiegirl · June 17th, 2008, 03:14 PM

You could wait...but I think you would LOVE the Fuchsia!:wub:
They won't charge you shipping will they??

boysRsmelly · June 17th, 2008, 03:15 PM

^^^ Um, I don't think so. But I will ask.

Zombiegirl · June 17th, 2008, 03:26 PM

Ok. I would hope they wouldn't!

boysRsmelly · June 17th, 2008, 04:30 PM

Okay, that's one for fuchsia.

Anyone else?

Zombiegirl · June 17th, 2008, 04:31 PM

Hey bRs...start a poll thread.

angelthelson · June 17th, 2008, 04:33 PM

brs, i vote for a mini city in deep purple

JessLR · June 17th, 2008, 04:41 PM

Well I love the fuchsia...so that is my vote!
