True confession: when I was younger, I wanted to marry someone with the same last initial so I could purchase monogrammed items and not have to retire them once I got hitched. Entirely impractical and silly, but my love of monograms hasn't faded.
I recently learned about
Marley Lilly, a monogram emporium. They have everything from monogrammed
jewelry and
scarves to
drinkware and
soap - and this gorgeous
monogrammed clutch, which they sent over for review.
The clutch is made of pebbled faux leather and the color combination is customizable. There are
12 clutch colors and over 30 thread colors for your monogram. The clutch transforms into a cross body bag for easy hands-free shopping with a chain that easily clips inside and can be tucked in the purse.
It's definitely roomy enough for all of my daytime essentials, measuring 7 by 11 inches.
Here's what fits easily inside: a pouch for money and credit cards, lip gloss, a small mirror for touch ups and a phone. (My keys also fit, but aren't pictured.)
It's a beautiful clutch that's practical and durable for daytime use. But I know that sometimes you need to tote more during the day. The thin clutch slips easily into a larger bag without taking up much space, so you can pull it out later when it's time to downsize.
Check
Bedknobs & Baubles on Tuesday to see the clutch featured in an outfit post.
