Lauren Merkin Diana for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Handbag of the Day

Does this charming little handbag look familiar? We wrote about it last June when it first came out in beige and black (Lauren Merkin Diana Studded Lambskin Mini Bag). Well, it's back in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we couldn't be more delighted!

This beautiful, Swarovski crystal-studded purse -- a new version of Lauren Merkin's most popular clutch -- falls somewhere between rock-and-roll chic and Mad Men swellegant. The flirty gathered pink lambskin is neatly tucked into an envelope closure, which is easily grippable if you'd rather not use the chainlink strap. The bag is 10"W x 6"H x 1"D, just big enough for a night out or a day shopping, but definitely sized for play, not work.

Best of all, a full 50% of the proceeds from the Diana in Pink Studded Lambskin with Swarovski Crystals will be donated to Young Survival Coalition, an organization which supports women under the age of 40 who are diagnosed with breast cancer. You can get your pretty pink bag for $275.00 at LaurenMerkin.com through the end of October.
