Michael Kors Berkley Clutch

We had a TJ Maxx open recently near our area (and when I say near, I mean 25 minutes away instead of  50) and I couldn't wait for the grand opening.
On the morning it opened the Mister and I eagerly scampered over (yes, he scampered too). Well needless to say, the place was packed and the line at the checkouts went back past the shoe department. 
I have never had much luck finding my size at TJ Maxx, but I can't get enough of their accessories.  I scoured the purse department, row after row and nothing. 
Then, fourth row back, buried under piles of granny inspired bucket bags, I saw it.......The Michael Kors Berkley Clutch!  The price tag of $99.99 made me blanch slightly and I had to choke back tears as I slowly lowered it back down.  Now, months later after searching high and low I have come to the awful realization that I passed up an incredible deal!

The going rate for this clutch is $198.00 and I found them listed for more on ebay than on Shopstyle!  Anyway, I'm still keeping an eye out for this amazing bag at an affordable price.  What do you guys think?

  1. That clutch looks really nice but it's a little pricey for me. I would keep looking esp. on ebay and see if a better deal pops up

  2. Callandra-- I love this clutch! I am in love with animal print items. It's a nice color combo that is versatile-- I think you could get a lot of use out of it. I have this MK bag in the tote version and I use it all the time...

    1. I did the very same thing, I had the bright yellow bag in my cart, then put it back, I have regreted it ever since, and I go back and keep looking hoping I might find one, but no, boo hoo

  3. Lol... maybe I'm spoiled but I didn't realize that a TJ Maxx opening was an event to get up early and wait in line for! Those kinds of places tend to give me headaches (kinda like F21) because you have to fight so hard to find an occasional gem. But hopefully the purse will pop up elsewhere for even cheaper... I'll help you keep an eye out :)

  4. Looks like it's $138.60 at dillards...I wonder if they will have an additional sale or coupon code for you!

  5. I second what PLG said, it's a great clutch but I think you might be able to find it at a better price on ebay in the future...sales are down so there's a good chance that some sellers are willing to take a small loss to make a sale. Good luck finding it at the right price.

    Ping, I'm like you, I was thinking that this animal print would be very versatile.

    PetiteXXS, I know right, it's so sad!

    Elle, I think you're right. I'm going to have to be patient...aaarrgghh!

  7. I am a TJ Maxx fan. I have only found clothing there about three times in my life, but I have gotten several purses there. They were all more than I would typically pay (but far less than retail), so I just chalked it up to an investment.

  10. I LOVE THIS BAG. i realize this is an old post but the fact that I still like its style and shape means it won't go out of style at time soon either! I hope you were able to find it again!
