https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/My-Ripka-Black-Mercer-Quilted-Handbag-is-a-Dream-Luv-luv-luv/m-p/4984#M635 <P>Just received it---I am in love with this! It is MUCH better looking in person than the awful Q pix---and even better than PatP's great pix---there is no substitute for holding it up close and personal. The stingray has a wonderful shine to it. It's the perfect combination of shine, texture and quilting. Love that the outside back slot pocket has a magnet closure--making it very secure. You can use as a clutch without the chain; use the chain long; or double the chain. You cannot go wrong with this handbag either for yourself or as a gift for someone special. I would love to see this same design in the ivory/gold leather that she use with the Jane. I'm going to write a letter to Ripka, Inc and request it.</P> Sat, 18 Dec 2010 01:05:15 GMT Maxine49 2010-12-18T01:05:15Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/My-Ripka-Black-Mercer-Quilted-Handbag-is-a-Dream-Luv-luv-luv/m-p/4984#M635 <P>Just received it---I am in love with this!
