The latest chick–lit book–turned–TV show is Gigi Levangie Grazer’s The Starter Wife. The show, airing on the USA Network, stars Debra Messing as Molly Kagan, a former “Hollywood Wife”, making a new life for herself post-divorce. I love these types of shows because while the premise is interesting, the focus is really on the fashion. Because of this, the network partnered with various designers and online e-tailers to design/highlight Molly’s looks. Handbag designer Lauren Merkin worked with Debra Messing to design the “Molly” custom clutch, inspired by, and named after Messing’s character on the show. The “Molly” is like most of Merkin’s other clutches – small and sleek yet bold and full of personality. It’s made of croc-embossed patent leather with satin trimmed edges, both in Amethyst, a rich purple hue. The envelope style is quite chic with its hexagonal flap that highlights the topstitched satin. And the detachable strap gives you the option of toting it as a clutch or on the shoulder.
