What if I told you that on Saturday, all you have to do is show up at a Neiman Marcus store with your smartphone for a chance to walk out with a free crocodile clutch from the crocmaster herself, Nancy Gonzalez? Believe it or not, that’s what’s going to be happening at an NM near you this weekend, Jaw-Dropping Exotic Handbags and the Celebrities Who Carried Them.
If you don’t have a FourSquare account, you might want to get one, because that’s how you’ll enter the Jaw-Dropping Exotic Handbags and the Celebrities Who Carried Them at one of 15 Neiman Marcus locations this weekend. We’ve got the details, plus some info about the other 41 Get In Touch!
So here’s the deal: Neiman Marcus isn’t saying which 15 of its 41 US locations will have the hidden clutches; you have to show up and check in to find out if your store is one of the lucky few. If it is, the store’s FourSquare page will let you know if you’re near the hidden clutch and will give you some clues about where to look. The event will run between noon and 4 p.m. local time on Saturday, and the first person to find the clutch gets to keep it!
If you show up and your store isn’t one of the ones with a hidden clutch, don’t fret! All 41 stores will also have another Nancy Gonzalez clutch to give away, and you enter to win that one via FourSquare on the same day. Plus, who doesn’t love a trip to Neiman Marcus on a fall Saturday afternoon? I’d show up even if there weren’t a free Nancy Gonzalez clutch to be had.

When stores have events like this, I steer clear. They have a tendency to bring stampedes, short tempers and fights, even in stores like NM. NM sales associates have told me they dread Chanel sales for those reasons.
