I am finally finding myself to be over the stud trend. I liked it, I bought it, I wore it, and now I am over it. But there are still few bags that bring in some stud-like hardware that is not typical of the studded bag rage and perfect to add a metal touch. I have always been attracted to the Hermes Medor Clutch and this weekend it is my latest obsession.
The design itself is inherently simple, with nothing about the size or look of the body of the clutch standing out. But the hardware (I am unsure whether I prefer black or silver on the black box leather), is distinctive, eye-catching, and bold. And it is the hardware that makes anyone looking at this clutch say, ‘Oh, that is Hermes alright‘. There is a small, 23 cm, and large 29 cm, size. The leather is box skin, which is sturdy yet shows scratches more easily than many Hermes leathers. And while the leather version is beautiful, the Spring 2009 collection sent a green exotic skin onto the runway that makes me want to see this bag in a rouge croc before ever settling on leather. Buy online via Hermes for $4,025 for the small and $4,200 for the large.
I think I prefer the gold hardware, which seems odd since I usually prefer silver.
This clutch is hot and the gold one is the bomb.
I’ve had my eye on this for a while too Megs, but I’m just not sure how timeless it would be. I might opt for one of the other more classic designs put forth by Hermes, like the Kelly cut/longue. But if money were no object, I’d buy it simply because it’s beautiful.

These clutches are hotter than July!!! OMG, I am truly in love with them. They say, sexy, classy, sensual, and the list goes on and on. Great job Hermes. (The hardware is phenomenal.)
it looks beautiful with the gold hardware!!! <3 (fb)
I love the gold hardware. The bag is beautiful. (fb)
love the gold hardware!!!
WOOOH!! Ooh Myy! *saying it like George Takei from his latest commercial pushing Sharp – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hSnAxvRdmY* This is loverly! I would personally go with the silver simply because that’s my prefence and I feel that black and silver are timeless. I know…probably no more so than gold is, but still ijmo. Funny, because I was browsing their site today, as well. I was also obsessing about the Garden Party Bag to use as an office tote for my computer and papers. It’s plain and not much going on but I still like. I could also dress it up with one of their scarfs. We’ll see. 😉 (fb)
Oh. My. God. That’s sexy. Really sexy. (fb)
white shirt. dark denim. the sheen of black box with gold HW…..timeless and classic…..mmm
damn, the kids don’t need a college fund, do they??
Wow I need this. I prefer the silver hardware better, which is odd since I’m more of a gold person. Either way, very very sexy. (fb)
Oh this is just so lovely! I love the box clutch…although I would never be able to put all my stuff in it :S (fb)
Very elegant. I like the gold hardware on this piece.
love it with gold hardware! (fb)
wow! silver hardware for me (fb)
Hot.
: wipes drool off my computer: I love this clutch, esp the gold, so eye catching, bold yet so simple. mmmn, gorgeous! do I need to pay rent/eat? lol… maybe not (fb)
This is a great clutch! Love the one with gold hardware. This clutch has a strong, clean look. Me likey. (fb)
so so pretty…..
The gold hardware is gorgeous on this clutch!
This clutch is a real piece. I absolutely love the gold hardware. It makes the clutch extravagant and elegant at the same time. There is just a little catch. The price OUch 🙂
I love this clutch. It is so classy! (fb)
I’ve got to go with the gold hardware. Oh man…. when’s the lottery drawing again? (fb)
LOVE!LOVE!LOVE! This is such a beautiful piece! Too bad I can’t afford one….:( but drooling over it is definitely free! The gold is gorgeous and the bag itself is just as timeless. (fb)
Soooooooo classy! One word isn’t enough to describe this clutch.
i love hermes but boy is it expensive, and for the money i am not that impressed with this one sorry (fb)
While it is quite lovely (I prefer the silver, but the gold is also nice), that is a rather steep price for a clutch. (fb)
i love it im an hermes mega fan and i love this clutch but there is aproblem ! i like the gold HW better but i wear jewlery in platinum and white diamonds more sooo not sure !!! wich one i like better
Mad about it. I usually prefer silver but in this case the gold one is to drool for. (fb)
Love the Medor clutch and the Medor watch.
WOW i love it! absolutely stunning! Esp the one with gold studs! (fb)
Sometimes you can’t list what is needed to make a bag perfect, but when I see this Hermes Medor clutch it is instant admiration. Due to the price I will have to admire it from afar, but it is so beautiful. The quality is remarkable and such a timeless design. I like both gold and silver – which rarely happens. (fb)
stunning!!
Its really beautifil.(fb)
i mean beautiful.. (fb)
I’ve never been a fan of Hermes bags. Too structured and plain IMO.
BTW there’s no such word as “alright”. It’s all right. 😉
I don’t know about American English, but ‘alright’ has been in British dictionaries and in common useage (not just as slang!) since waaay before I was born.
My mother (a teacher) always used it and teachers at school never corrected us for using it.
In fact, I seem to remember that, when we were very young, we would be corrected if we ever wrote ‘all right’ as two words?
I certainly find myself looking at ‘all right’ and thinking it looks wrong!
I think American English is, rapidly, engulfing British English and people (even including the compilers of some online dictionaries!) are forgetting (or have never known!) what has always been acceptable/correct/preferred, here.
BTW, just noticed that I said ‘useage’, not usage.
Once again, I believe ‘useage’ used to be a perfectly acceptable variant in British English, when I was at school – whereas, it now appears to be viewed as merely a spelling mistake!
Sigh…
You are correct, but ‘alright’ is used as informal slang now and is part of the dictionary too. It just isn’t formal or proper, but often used 🙂
Think you left the wrong link, Giu?
Here’s the one to alright: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/alright
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/all-right_1 I think you might need to treat yourself to a new dictionary then! :oP
It’s not in any dictionary I’ve ever seen. It’s not a word, it’s a confusion with “already”
HERMES always gives us the most luxurious and delicate feeling at the first sight! but most of us could not afford it. http://www.slingfree.com
hmmm ..
i’m not crazy about them .. they look very ordinary -.-‘
The black version is beautiful and simple, but the green exotic is more beautiful. I would rather buy the green exotic than the simple black. I loved the ombre lizard just as well. (fb)
I love the Hermes clutch with the gold studs but would I spend more than $ 4000?…This is a lot of money… (fb)
I think it’s absolutely beautiful!
I love the silver one! Once again, Hermes just gets it right! (fb)
OMG it’s heavenly <3 (fb)
I looove the silver!
I like the silver for sure but if I had four grand lying around I doubt that I would be buying this clutch, sorry hermes!! (Fb)
Simple and chic! But, I prefer clutchs LV. ( I am a LV Lover, for sure!!!!! )
Geez, so simple but sophisticated…

I really like it, I am usually am unsure if I like Hermes things or not as I find it really structured and somewhat plain but this one I really like how the hardware stands out. It looks so simple yet attractive. Something I would like to hold in my hands and touch to feel the quality. Although I have to say, 4,000 is a lot for a clutch. (fb)
*Drools*
It’s all about the silver for me – truly exquisite!
Not quite within budget for a uni student… not yet, that is!
nice and overpriced (fb)
stunning is the word! (fb)
Gorgeous but pricy. (fb)
Chic and elegant. Definitely prefer the silver hardware.
I love the modern look of this, it’s beautiful but I could never soend that much on a purse. (fb)
Love this! (fb)
I’m absolutely dying over the silver. (fb)
Very chic, maybe too trendy with the studs (I’ve stayed away from them). There are a lot of other bags I would prefer for that price. (FB).
Gorgeous and completely worth obsessing over!! (fb)
Wow this is beautiful
(fb)
I like it but I wouldn’t spend that much for it! LOL @ the comments about alright! (fb)
wow this bag is beautiful & I’ve never been an Hermes bag lover (FB)
wow…. loving both the gold and silver! Adore!! want both!! Hermes is TO DIE FOR!!! (fb)
Love the simple, clean line and the studs give it just enough edge. (fb)
Cutest clutch ever!!!!!!! (fb)
this looks sooo adorable! i want one for myself.. unfortunately, i can’t afford it yet. (fb)
definitely on silver…
It’s very classy but I personally wouldn’t get a lot of use out of a clutch and would rather spend the money on a bag I could use every day.
Hermes does make beautiful bags – and this one is great – for those that go out often (fb)
Hawwwwwwwwt! (fb)
Looks good. I prefer the silver over the gold. (fb)
Hermes is definitely a “wish list” item for me. I prefer the silver over the gold. (fb)
It’s a simple yet elegant clutch. I don’t think I could afford to spend that kind of money on it though. (fb)
less is more…no sparkles, sequins or little details…just a strong and gorgeous hardware in a clutch with simple lines…and I fall in love with all of this…´coz it´s amazing! Die for it would be impossible, since our life is priceless and divine. But for sure, have the oportunity to have one could be an inestimable pleasure for all of us…(fb)
I love it so much. I would get the silver. (fb)
Beautiful bag. Love it!
These are beautiful! I can’t decide if I like the golf or silver better. (fb)
Fabulous! I want one (fb)
Wow. Those are very pretty. I would go black leather/silver (fb)
Classy~. Nice 🙂
But have seen prettier, sorry hermes! :/
(fb)
classy (fb)
ahh, Hermes why must you be so expensive… but clutch looks gorgeous! (fb)
Gorgeous ^^ (fb)
Beautiful. I have to admit, I love the dark brown best (with the silver), but the black one is worth obsessing over, too.
Well, at least you spent the WE doing something worthwhile. 🙂
what does (fb) stand for?
Simply elegant. Not overwrought and over-thought like some clutches out there! Classic! (fb)
Now that is one stunning bag. I am an LV lover, but I may just have to get one of those. Gorgeous!
I am not usually a huge fan of Hermes but that clutch with the silver hardware is stunning!
Ah I wish I could afford this! Absolutely Divine!!!! (fb)
I want one! (fb)
Very subtle use of studs. The price is to be expected I guess. I shall just admire them from afar. (fb)
Not a fan. Seems kinda blah to I think this is one of those things that are hyped up by slapping a name brand on it (fb)
The hardware is delicious. (fb)
whooww,no one look at them,these are minee:D,yeah Jocelyn i really is giving delicious look too,,but it has just made me speechless,so beautifully designed,loved it
I adore those clutches, especially the one with gold hardware! Great design, great size, great brand (maybe the greatest one 🙂 ) I just ADORE it!!! If I had the money, I’d deffenately buy it at my hometown’s boutique!!!
