Clever Carriage Fans?

MarnieRez3 — Sat, 09 Mar 2019 00:17:17 GMT

This iconic Clever Carriage wrap/scarf is reduced by $50.00 today on HSN.com.

I have always coveted it...the new price is $249.99.

Are there any fans of this line? It is wildly eclectic, global, handmade and quite interesting; mostly scarves, handbags and accessories. (It is typically on HSN at odd hours - like 2 am EST - perhaps because the items are very limited.)

Does anyone here have this scarf? There's about seven different color combinations on HSN.com.

If you do own it, can you speak to the quality? Many thanks!

I have that one on my HSN wish list. I own a similar one in cognac suede from last year. Fantastic quality and absolutely beautiful.

Thanks @Carol Diane! I appreciate the recommendation...I am seriously thinking of buying it to wear to a college graduation over a black dress. Clever Carriage items seem expensive to me, so I'm happy to hear they are good quality.

It sounds like it will look beautiful with your outfit. The workmanship on their items is perfection. Enjoy if you decide to purchase it!

Five years ago I bought a Clever Carriage beaded clutch handbag that I wore to my son's wedding. The quality is beautiful and it is still my "go-to" dressy handbag. If their garments are made as well as the handbag I'm sure you will be pleased.

I must agree...the prices on Clever Carriage are quite high. But, they do get reduced substantially sometimes on HSN.com.
Thanks for all your feedback, posters!

Don't know about anything else, but I purchased a leather handbag with fringe a few years ago. Was surprised at the exceptional quality that would cost much more elsewhere.

$250 for this scarf?? Ugh! Horribly ugly. And a ridiculous price for this atrocity.

Lololol...thank you @ID2! Don't hold back your true feelings, though! 😆😄😄

I am in love with this line. I purchase the handbags. It's my treat to myself every other year or so. I wait until it goes on sale with easy pay and pounce on it. The leather is so soft and I like the handmade element to the bags. High quailty. True....they are a bit pricey but I believe you get what you pay for. Hr bags last fo ryears and years and look like new.

I love her scarves. Breathtaking. I did purchase a few pieces from her "Home" line and really liked them. The quality was very nice.

I have my fingers crossed that they keep her with this new corpration but it does make you nervouc that the smaller, individcual vendors seemed to be pushed out.

Whatever you purchase....I hope you are as sastisfied as I have been.

Thanks for the input, @Fressa...Everyone on this post keeps mentioning the terrific quality of their handbags, so I must check them out online!
I actually think the line is staying at HSN because Colleen Lopez said the other night that Clever Carriage was working on some brand new items for Colleen's show called "The List."
I also have purchased some things from the Clever Carriage home line, including a blue and white toile duvet cover, and I agree, they are lovely pieces.
Keep treating yourself! ❤

Geez @ID2 , was it necessary to say those things when the OP said she coveted this piece and was asking about the quality of the item? I doubt she was interested in how much you hate this beautiful scarf.

@ID2

An atrocity?! The subjugation of women through murder and rape is an atrocity! Genocide is an atrocity! I just don't think this scarf quite qualifies as an atrocity
