Lauren Merkin Creates Molly Clutch for The Start Wife: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I’m so excited that The Starter Wife is coming back for another season. I think the show is amazing and I personally believe that the execs originally saw it as a one-time special. But Debra Messing is amazing in this show, as is the rest of the cast. Can’t wait to see what happens when it goes back on USA Networks this Friday. I do know that handbag designer Lauren Merkin has gotten in on the buzz behind this show by crafting the “Molly” clutch, named after Messing’s character on the show Molly Kagan. USA Networks and Debra Messing actually worked with Lauren Merkin to come up with the perfect shape – genius promotion for all!

The "Molly" will make its television debut on the season finale of The Starter Wife, when it will appear on the arm of Molly (Messing) herself. The amethyst baby croc patent clutch with satin detailing will be offered as part of a national Text-To-Win Sweepstakes following the season finale and as a promotional giveaway via print and digital outlets. Fans of Lauren Merkin and The Starter Wife can also buy the clutch right now at http://www.laurenmerkin.com/ for $295.

The Starter Wife premieres on Friday, October 10 at 9/8c on USA Network.

Have a bag-a-licious day!
