Last Monday I received a little package from Arvisha Accessories with a great replikate of the Duchess of Cambridge's navy suede 'Muse' clutch by Stuart Weitzman (US$ 430), one of her favourite bags. Arvisha's 'Celesta' clutch is handmade of good quality suede and costs only US$ 87. It has a cotton lining in a matching colour, closes with a magnet button and comes with a detachable metal chain shoulder strap. The measurements of the bag are 10.5" x 4.5" x 2" (26 cm x 11.5 cm x 5 cm), which means it is big enough to hold everything you might need comfortably, but still small enough to carry it around easily. Arvisha Accessories ships worldwide, and if you order you don't have to worry the bag might damage during shipping. When I received mine, it was so well wrapped it took me at least five minutes to get the bag out :-P Arvisha is an online shop run by Diana from Bali, Indonesia, which offers handmade leather and suede bags and shoes at a very reasonable price. Apart from the 'Celesta' clutch (which she also offers in the same chocolate brown colour the Duchess also carries) she also has great replikates for Kate's Emmy 'Natasha' clutch and her purple L.K. Bennett clutch. Arvisha can also custom make bags on request, so if you would like a smaller or bigger bag, or in a different colour, don't hesitate to contact her via her Etsy shop of via email. THE VERDICT: The only thing I miss a bit in the bag is a small 'pocket' for creditcards, IDs etc. That would be very practical, since I don't really want my entire wallet with me when I carry a clutch. But nonetheless, Arvisha's 'Celeste' clutch is very well made and the suede is of good quality. The magnet closure is very strong and the colour of the bag is a very beautiful deep warm navy. I usually wear my clutches without a shoulder strap, but if I do, I think I would have liked a matching suede shoulder strap more. However, the detachable shoulder chain is of good quality, not at all flimsy. I would definitely recommend this bag and Arvisha Accessories as a shop! My own personal favourite at the moment is their Medialuna bag, which I think is absolutely gorgeous! Note: Tatiana's Delights received this bag as a gift by Arvisha, however my opinion is, as always, my own.

Aangezien het echte suède is en een klassiek design is het de prijs waard, het ziet er goed uit (ik zie nooit echt het punt in veel geld uitgeven aan een clutch die je relatief weinig gebruikt). Mijn vraag is echter: is dat de echte seraphine jurk die Kate droeg na de geboorte van George of is het een replikate? En als het the real deal is: merk je dat het zwangerschapskledij is, heb je een maat kleiner genomen,..? ik vind die jurken zo mooi maar durf niet te bestellen!

Dankjewel voor de tip, ik denk dat ik het dan wel ga riskeren. Extra comfort is altijd mooi meegenomen, haha! Ik wil ook nog even zeggen hoe fijn ik je blog vind, hoewel dit de eerste keer is dat ik een commentaar laat (naughty, I know). Ik ben ook een rechtenstudent, Belgisch, en het is fijn om een blog te lezen van iemand met zo veel raakvlakken. Ik kijk uit naar meer posts in 2015! :) Leave a Reply. |
