Does anyone recall a little company called Laudi Vidni? If you are a regular Bag Bliss reader, then you probably remember a review I did about the company’s website and ordering process (if you don’t remember, you can check it out here!). And I bet you all have been wondering what the heck happened with that! Haha! Well, let me tell you, it has been quite an adventure! Not long after writing my review, I decided to order the Pavan Satchel in the Storm premium leather. So what exactly happened with that? Long story short, I hated the bag once I got it! Remember the ruching at the top of the bag that I “absolutely adored”? It turned out that the leather was actually threaded onto a stiff metal rod (think curtain rod) in order to achieve the look. Needless to say, the bag was very awkward against the side of my body. So what did I do? I returned it, of course! Lucky for me, the ladies there at Laudi Vidni were very understanding. Now just throw in a trip abroad and an extremely hectic Spring semester at school and.. ta-da! An explanation for the huge time lapse! But, hey, better late than never! Right?

So after much consideration, I finally settled on the Brio Clutch to replace my Pavan Satchel! It is chic, simple, and sophisticated. Plus the square turnlock clasp looks so cool in the picture. For the body of the clutch, I chose the Silver Croc premium leather. As for the contrasting stripe, I went with the Metallic Patent Indigo. And the panel on the turnlock? I thought the Smooth Grain Canal added a nice little touch! Once I had made my selections, I eagerly placed my order and waited for my new Brio Clutch to arrive on my doorstep!

And… here… it… is!

The fun thing about a clutch is that you can carry one as loud as your style desires, without looking like a total mess. Compared to a loud day bag, that could take the appearance of beach wear or might come off as too juvenile. Instead, show off the sassy chic in you by busting out a loud and unexpected colorful clutch that is the perfect size to sport with your everyday or even formal wear. The Solar Clutch by French Connection reminds me of something you can find at a stationary or a bathroom décor section of a store, but regardless, it’s adorable.

Coccinelle is a name that I have never heard of before. But while browsing around the Forzieri website, I stumbled upon some handbags from this designer and found myself rather intrigued. Of particular interest was this Pleated Patent Canvas Clutch, from Coccinelle’s Goodie Bag collection. But wait… patent canvas? Yes, I read the name correctly. This adorable little clutch is made of something called patent canvas, which is actually canvas that has been coated to give it a shiny, satin-like appearance. Very interesting!

Although it really wasn’t that long ago, my memories of this year’s Earth Day are like a psychedelic dream. The music, the colors… it all just seems to dance around in my head (yeah, we’re just a bunch of hippies around here when it comes to Earth Day). That’s why I really like this Zara Terez Nolita Clutch! The splashes of color are so vibrant… just like those psychedelic dreams! I simply love the combination of purple, blue, green, and yellow… all living together in harmony on a black lambskin leather background. It may not be the most eco-friendly handbag in the world, but it sure is gorgeous! This clutch would be perfect for an evening out and it would look great paired with your favorite little black dress. Or, if you want to be really bold, pair it with an equally colorful outfit (a la Paris Hilton).

Gorjana is originally from Yugoslavia and was discovered by Ford models at the age of 15. She launched her jewelry line in 2004 and features simple, artistic designs. You may be familiar with the Gorjana jewelry line, but I was unfamiliar with her handbags!

I have enjoyed Gorjana’s jewelry for some time. However, this pebbled leather, mini, cross-body was a pleasant surprise! I was attracted to it’s rich and chic appearance with jewel-like qualities. It features tiny little studs in a quilted pattern. The flap closure is magnetic from security. This bag also has a patch pocket under the flap. The lined interior features another pocket. The hardware really pops in a gold tone on all available colors.

Sometimes when things are at simple form they represent the best, such as we see in this chic suede clutch. I’m not too familiar with the street fashion inspired brand, Something Else by artist Natalie Wood, but the Crystal Fold Clutch is really “something else”.

I don’t know about you, but I always get super excited whenever a new handbag designer hits the scene. I just love creative new ideas. And, being the environmentalist that I am, I especially love creative new ideas that come about in an eco-friendly manner. That is why I am so proud to present to you Muratori Designs (Luxury… with the World in Mind)! The company was founded by Julie Berard, who was able to align her love of fashion with her respect for nature in order to bring us a unique collection of luxury handbags. So not only are these handbags gorgeous, but they are made by a company that is environmentally conscious as well!

I do want to stress, however, that Muratori handbags are not vegan (like so many other eco-friendly handbags are). Instead, the company utilizes vegetable-tanned, chrome-free leathers. The production process for these leathers is much less harmful to the environment than other leathers. In addition, the linings of these handbags are made of either organic cotton or hemp. But it is also the little things that this company does to lessen their carbon footprint that I think are really cool. Whether it’s using only high efficiency light bulbs or purchasing electricity from renewable green energy sources, they are doing everything they can to help protect the environment. And, as if all of that wasn’t enough, Muratori also has a handbag recycling program!
