I have coveted the Hayden-Harnett Mercer Clutch for a couple of years now. I have only ever seen one other person carrying this style — a black one — and I was enthralled by the little HH details. When these Mercers went on sale last month, I could resist no longer, and ordered one in Pewter.
This color is, in a word, the perfect metallic. It has a bit of glow and shine, but zero bling. The top handle has a magnetic closure so it snaps itself shut gently, and the shoulder strap is remarkably handy. I wore this bag while standing in line for the iPhone, and the chain elements on the strap made it a little uncomfortable for longterm carrying, but it was good to have the option. While a great little bag for going out to dinner, the Mercer is a larger clutch, measuring 12″x 9″H x 2,” and will easily carry more than just bare necessities. 
Unfortunately I suspect this style has been discontinued for the next season. It is still available in Yam at full price, but if you like metallic Violet (pictured at right) or Tango Red, the Mercer Clutch is still on sale for a very reasonable $160.
