Musings on The Lunch

Posted by on

Now that mask mandates are being lifted in many cities around the globe, we are hoping to be able to have the luxury of going out a bit more. 

When I am ready to venture out to a favorite restaurant or pub, I’m posed with the question: What to wear? And which bag to carry?

One thing I will be wearing here in Los Angeles is a good red lip (Givenchy #27 is my current favorite) and one of my favorite Marie Turnor leather Lunch bags. With so many finishes and colors available in the Lunch, it can be difficult to choose. Do I want a color that perfectly matches my outfit, or a vibrant stand-out piece? 



     


I always carry my Snak — the smallest leather bag in the Marie Turnor Lunch collection — because I have to re-apply the red lip after eating or drinking, of course!

The spelling of the Snak is intentional, by the way. I wanted the petite leather clutch to have it’s own distinct personality. It truly is small but mighty; despite — or perhaps because of — its size, I’ve found it to be my most useful Marie Turnor bag. It can hold lipsticks and a small magnifying mirror, my credit cards or cash, and various other small objects. I always carry it in my Lunch bag, or in any handbag really.

I recently bought a new black dress and I do like some contrast in the handbag I carry. Last evening I went on a cocktail date with my husband to a cozy local bar with a dark, industrial vibe. I took along my Lunch bag in Whiskey — so appropriate, don’t you think? The warm, soft look of the leather matched with the drink I chose, which had an interesting mix of smoky flavors.



     


Many people question the usefulness of the Lunch. How do you use it? What’s the best way to carry a luxury clutch? It’s actually a very simple-to-use accessory. I like to carry my Lunch bag under my arm when I’m standing. In this way I can use both hands, either to hold a drink or shake a hand or simply to express myself. While walking, I usually hold the Lunch in my hand by the top or corner so that it hangs down next to my leg — don’t worry, nothing will fall out! The invisible magnetic closure makes sure of that. Another way to hold a clutch bag is to squish the roll-top and grab, literally clutch, it. 



     


One of the best things about the roll top Lunch, Dinner or Snak bags is how handy they are for use inside of a larger purse or tote. Do you like the security of a big tote bag? Stash one of these bags inside to separate your smaller accessories so they are not floating around inside your tote. I keep my Origami Wallet, a pack of tissues, my Snak, sunglasses, and a pen and pad (to jot down design ideas!) inside my Lunch bag.

My favorite thing about the Lunch is its versatility – its elegant simplicity lends itself to a range of uses, from nesting within a larger bag to being the star of the show. The Lunch is by your side, wherever you may be going next.
