A secret (known to mailing list customers) giveaway is happening at Express stores this Black Friday, Nov. 25th. Their doorbuster incentive is to get people to come in sharply at 7 a.m. (’til 11 a.m., unless merchendise runs out) to recieve a free evening clutch! The styles, are quite nice, especially the velvet in assorted colors with embellishment (pictured). ($29.50 regularly) Also available are beaded and silver metallic. (NO purchase requird.)

Along with this gem, Express has a lot of great new bags in for the season. I especially like the Velvet Hobo (black). Roomy, with an interior zippered pocket, it’s classic hobo — but it’s velvet! It’s a great deal at $39.50, but I know mine would get “lint” all over the black fabric. Shame. If yours is a pet-free home, perhaps you should consider getting this perfectly trendy, yet classically beautiful bag.
