An unbelievable, museum worthy late 1970’s fully beaded hourglass trained glam rock custom couture gown ensemble by David Fernandez. Though not a household name, he is a beloved Puerto Rican fashion designer who is known for his complex beadwork and seductive silhouettes. In 1985, Miss Puerto Rico would take home the Miss Universe title, and David Fernandez not only designed her evening gown but she received the highest score in that category. From the sculpted backless bias cut gown to the detachable bold shoulder op-art draped train, he creates two epic looks in one. The fabrication is truly magnificent; thousands of sparkling glass-beads hand sewn into the most sensational pattern work. The dress totally has that Cher in Bob Mackie vibe while the added jacket overlay brings a bold David Bowie glam rock element which was so celebrated during this time. I adore the rhinestone sparkle and playful beaded fringe he chose to add to the jacket vest. I also love the fire flame colors which really bring this look to the next level. The vibe reads so modern, not only does it deserve another moment in the spotlight but it will most certainly steal the show. We added many pictures so you can all marvel at this masterpiece. A one of a kind, museum worthy slice of wearable art that would make an epic red carpet moment.

Super cute clutch!
Color: Natural
This is a beautiful clutch. I got the “Natural” color, and the tones are definitely subtle. I am already eyeing the Spicy one too, but for me, the natural color is just easier to match with outfits. I did laugh though because my nephew said it looks like a taco, but honestly that just makes me love it even more! The material is extremely nice, it feels very premium and well made. I was a bit nervous because I have had cheaper bags with that shredded-style material that flakes and falls apart, but that is not the case here. It feels really well made. I cannot speak for long-term durability yet, but so far there is no shedding or anything like that. I also did not notice any loose stitching or threads at all, it just feels like a high-quality bag. It has small magnets to keep it closed, which work nicely. There is not a ton of space since it is a clutch, but there is still enough room for my phone and a few small items, so it works well. Overall, it is just a really gorgeous, well made bag, and I really do not have anything to complain about.

Lily Clutch - awkward size and fabric.
Color: Spicy, Color: Spicy
The Sam Edelman Lily Clutch handbag is a bit awkward, in my opinion. I've been told that it looks like a taco and like a folded up rug, and it does look rather awkward. It's also much larger and bulkier than I was expecting. I can't even find a comfortable or natural way to hold it. I don't love how it bulges out on the sides or the way it's difficult to grip because of the fabric design. It's eye catching and a good conversation piece, but it feels impractical. It's more of a statement piece than a useful every day bag or something I'd want to take on a long outing. It looks interesting, but it isn't a bag that makes my life easier or more compact.

Great boho clutch with lots of interest and texture, but bag itself is small, materials are fragile
Color: Spicy, Color: Spicy
This Sam Edelman Lily Clutch Handbag would be great for a beach vacation or summer getaway. It is very lightweight and almost has a fan-like appearance making it perfect for a hot Summer evening out. I ordered the 'spicy' red and natural color combo, and it looks just like in the product photos. The purse itself excluding the raffia fringe is pretty small and thin, and it does feel a bit fragile. You might be able to fit your phone, a card holder, and a lipstick in there, but that is about it. It is not lined on the inside so it is a touch see through. The magnetic closure is a nice touch and works well, and there is a brown faux leather logo on the outside. It also comes with a dustbag to store it in, which you will want to use since the raffia will easily collect dust and break off easily over time. I do understand that this is a name brand premium item, but it does feel a bit pricey given the overall quality of the materials. I would recommend this if it went on sale at a significant discount.

I think it's large for a clutch,but it's beautiful!
Color: Natural
I ordered this purse because I just love how different and fun it is. I thought it would be great for a sunny vacation. The first thing I noticed when it arrived was that it's much bigger than I thought it would be. The size is mostly in the raffia design. The purse itself is clutch-size, able to hold your phone, credit cards, and some lip gloss. Due to the size of the whole purse, I think it could use an optional strap. The quality and the craftsmanship are top-notch, however. The raffia is amazing, and the colors are very similar to a grass skirt, making it perfect for a tropical vacation or Polynesian-themed get-together.

Taco Purse
Color: Spicy
This might be the silliest bag my wife and I own, but it's definitely unique. I call it "the taco bag," and that's 100000% what it looks like to me. It's a clutch so it's not practical for every day use if you want to keep your hands free, but it has a fun, summery vibe that makes me think my wife would look great in a sundress at a pool party carrying this. Maybe. I honestly am not sure what kind of outfit this bag goes with, but it is exactly as pictured and it feels very well made, which I have come to expect from Sam Edelman. We have several bags by them and they are all lovely, this is the weirdest one and the hardest to figure out where we're going to use it, but I'm not mad I have it and if you like the taco look it lives up to it in person.
