I really like the Nina clutch. I was ready to order it, but got out the tape measure first. It's essentially the same dimensions as my too small bag. </p> <p>This may be shopping that I need to do in person. I wonder if there will be some in store options as the holidays approach... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-evening-bag-candidates#post-1371614 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 00:50:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1371614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few on the Nordstrom site, for some ideas. These are in keeping with the beaded theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-evening-bag-candidates#post-1371613 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 00:45:44 +0000 Classically Casual 1371613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good questions, Echo. My old bag is so small I'm lucky to carry car keys, driver's license, lipstick and on good days my phone. I'm not looking for anything large, but would like room for a few more basics.</p> <p>I'm fine with either a clutch or a bag with a chain, though I don't care for the chain in the RM bag. I like them both otherwise.</p> <p>Full confession, I haven't done any shopping for candidates, and there's no urgency. I'd certainly need to keep the price under $300., hopefully a lot under. It won't see much action, but when it's needed, it's needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-evening-bag-candidates#post-1371611 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 00:38:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1371611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, boy, do I like that Zac Posen clutch. Classic with a little twist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-evening-bag-candidates#post-1371591 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 23:56:36 +0000 Echo 1371591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I;ve been looking for an Alexander McQueen&nbsp;DeManta clutch, but the best ones, IMO, are printed and not solid colours.</p> <p>But I've also been enamoured with the Zac Posen clutch lately. It is a good size and I just love the shape.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/zac-zac-posen-split-patent-leather-clutch/3845650?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=900&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_2_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/za.....ory-person</a></p> <p>Rebecca Minkoff also makes a gorgeous quilted clutch:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/rebecca-minkoff-love-clutch/3772349?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=4400&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_11_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/re.....t&#038;con</a></p> <p>Maybe you could give us some more parameters like whether you would like beading, the size you prefer, and whether you like highly structured or softer clutches. So you prefer a detachable shoulder chain or strictly hand-held? And everyone's definitions of affordable are different, too, so we might be able to make better suggestions with price parameters, too. I love looking for handbags!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-evening-bag-candidates#post-1371580 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 23:28:40 +0000 Classically Casual 1371580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In relation to Joy's post regarding a formal capsule, I realize that I do have a need that someone may be able to help me with. </p> <p>For, ahem, decades now I've used the same black beaded bag for evening dress up occasions. At a recent wedding I noticed that its beads are disappearing and it's going bald. Uh, oh.</p> <p>It's never been large enough, but otherwise it's served me well.</p> <p>Any candidates for an affordable black evening bag. I only need one bag, so black is my preferred color. </p>
