Eva Mendes in MCM Notte Clutch

It seems only yesterday that all of my mother’s most unfashionable friends were toting their MCM wallets and handbags – boy how things have changed! Now that Joy Gryson is designing for the label MCM has been attracting a slew of celebs and well-styled shoppers with easy-to-wear, everyday bags and clutches. Above Eva Mendes is pictured holding the lamb Notte Clutch ($695), which is simple enough in its silhouette that it’s versatile to pair with both casual and more dressy outfits, but the pleating and chain detail make it stand-out from your run-of-the mill clutch and give it some added edge. What a perfect complement to Mendes’ va-va-voom bustier dress!

  1. mcm bags are actually very well made and reasonably priced and though not very trendy they can stay with you for many seasons. I have two, love them both and often get asked where I got them from! Their new design team shows attention to detail and that pays off for both the company and the consumer. A very good choice for an everyday sturdy bag in times of financial turbulence!

  2. Ohh what a beauty…. Eva Mendes 🙂 The clutch? Yes, it`s pretty, but a bit too shiny. Of course it`s perfect for a formal party/meeting, and purple is a color I love, but for this clutch I would`ve definitely used a different color 🙂
