The Prince of Prints: Emilio Pucci Online at eLUXURY
Check out the newbies to hit the sale section over at eluxury. In that section you can find the Amelie, Cupola, Hawa, Festa prints (some avail in different hues) in almost any style – from cosmetic cases to a large travel tote sized bag.

Left: What is this bag doing in the sale section?! When I think Pucci bags I think vibrant bright-colored bold-print bags, ideal for the summer even spring season. However this bag, decorated in a bold pattern is available in a darker color combo (not so spring / summer-ie). The black and grey Amelie-Print east – west shaped canvas tote, regularly priced $475 and on sale for $329. I adore!

Right: Similar to the bag on the left only in different colors, the Amelie Satin Flap bag retails for $690 but is currently on sale for $490.

Even though I like its sister (on the left) I’m not to impressed with this style or hardware. . . not liking the sun-like twist-lock closure or the grey metal clasp and tassel charm.

Get ‘em while they’re hot! Right now in the Sale Shop of eluxury they have almost every style of Pucci shoes marked down 10 – 70% off – Cork Sandals, Mules, T-Strap Sandals, Wedge Pumps, Mary Jane Platforms, Ballerina Flats, Boots, etc

Left: Winter boots on Sale! The Emilio Pucci knee-high boots are dressed in stretchy (for that perfect fit) suede and decorated with a eye-catching swirl-like pattern on the wedge heel. Worth every penny, these boots are on sale for $569.

Right: The Pucci 3.25″ Cupola sandal is currently on sale for $237, marked down from $395. Currently this pair is available in Grey Cupola (above) and Black Cupola. Almost every size is still in stock, so you don’t need to worry about it selling out anytime soon.

Emilio Pucci Scarves – Oh La La! My weakness when it comes to Emilio Pucci, the elaborate decorative scarves.

Left: The Festa silk twill scarf measures in at about 36″ x 36″ and is marked down to $156 (if you live in Seattle go to Downtown Nordstrom Rack, there are two in stock for only $99) If you like this print but are looking for something smaller, they also have the Festa Cotton Handkerchief on sale for only $30.

Right: Simple. The Pucci silk muffler scarf is decorated along the border with a thin strip of the unmistakable Quadrifoglio Pucci print. Measurements are 67″ x 14″.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, go check out the huge designer super-sale going on over at eluxury. Don’t forget about the bags waiting in the sale section, desperate for a new home.

Prada | Traveling Bag | View!
Brief little history of the Prada Nylon Bags: Miuccia Prada (granddaughter of Mario Prada) designed the black water-resistant backpacks since 1970, out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. Then in 1985 Miuccia created the classic Prada handbag that was made of the same sleek black nylon fabric – The Classic Nylon. The bag became an instant hit, so people say. I was only a newborn at the time and new nothing of fashion, but history tells us that this bag was hot and sold out like there was no tomorrow. Of course we all know that with popularity comes logo image damage. Within month of production you could find replica’s being sold in the truck of cars, on the side walks and even at purse parties. I’m not saying that Prada image is completely ruined, people still love the label today, just not I (referring to the nylon not the runway collections). It’s not the fact that there are many replicas out there roaming the streets but rather I don’t want to carry a bag that has an over-worn over-used image. (The last sentence does not apply to Louis Vuitton. . . at this moment in time.)

Pictured above is a travel bag from the Classic Nylon collection. The bag combines classic style and function for traveling wear-and-tear. Made of durable waterproof nylon fabric and trimmed with calfskin leather and topped off with an embossed Prada logo tag with lock and key. Yes your belongings will be safe while you are on the go with the mini stylish padlock.

Only one left at Amazon! The 40% off price tag could have something to do with that.
