The Chic Clutch Hunt Giveaway by Amanda Pearl

Yes, that's right, we said giveaway... and what a fab one it is! In the last couple of weeks, Merci New York has been running a "Chic Clutch Hunt Series," where we scoured the streets of Manhattan to find brides the most elusive of wedding day accessories... a polished, glamorous and modern wedding clutch.
This was not an easy task. Though each designer had a few awe-inspiring pieces, finding a high-style assortment of clutches required calls to several design houses for each segment. That is, until we came across a godsend. The equal parts chic, glamorous and refined Amanda Pearl.Within moments of obtaining product imagery, part three of the Chic Clutch Hunt was done, complete, écouter! Amanda's line immediately filled all the gaps: An exotic limited-edition luxury: the Alba; an accessory worthy of Gossip Girl wardrobing: the Alessia; an affordable, yet impossibly polished option: the Luna; a brocade design with a decidedly Jackie O. panache: the Le Tout; not to mention delicious duchesse satin Roll Clutches, perfect for bridesmaids in 11 lush colors.

"Swoon" tends to be an overused word in the wedding industry, but swoon we did when we saw this line. I immediately contacted Amanda brimming with enthusiasm, and she... {wait for it}... ever so graciously offered to share the love by gifting a luxurious Le Pouf clutch to one very lucky Merci New York reader. So without further adieu, here's part three of the Chic Clutch Hunt, and details on how you can get in on the glamour...
1. Alessia "Sereno," $1,595 {exclusive to Jeffrey New York}; 2. Pearl "Alba," $1,895; 3. Le Pouf "Sposa," $298; 4. Le Tout brocade clutches, $295; 5. Roll Clutch "Sally," $998; 6. Lune "Swoon," $495 {exclusive to Gabriella New York}; 7. Pasha "Coco," $1,395.

Each season is inspired by one of Amanda's global destinations, as well as the treasures she finds there, with every piece harking back to an era marked by civility and elegance.
