Baubles and Bags



Two of my favorite things.

The 'baubles' are everything from a vintage monocle to thrifting finds to a gift from Africa to Forever 21.

The bag?  I always get compliments and questions as to where I got it.  While it does slightly resemble that other bag, it is not.  Nor is it intended on my part to be a stand in for it.  It is called the 'Clarissa' from Maxwell Scott.  Made in London of Italian leather, I loved the look of the bag, the ease of two handles and the amount of room inside.  Kate Middleton is reportedly a fan of the brand also.

This bag is a workhorse.  I have to admit, I've bumped, knocked and dropped and its still in beautiful condition and has developed a gorgeous patina.

This one won't be leaving heavy rotation anytime soon.

  5. Beautiful bag, I'm considering purchasing one too, I have a quick question though, is it in the tan or brown leather? I love how it's ageing, how long have you had it? Thanks!

  6. rubysasha, If I remember correctly, mine is tan. The brown is much darker. I've had it for about 4 years.

  7. Wow, it's breaking in beautifully! I can't wait to order mine! I was struggling to choose either tan or brown, but after seeing the brown and how well it looks, I think that's what I'll be getting! Thanks for the swift reply ;-)
