Bespoke Your NiQua

Apart from black and camel, my third favorite neutral for bags is burgundy. Apparently, it's this season's shade too, as net-a-porter says so above!

But I didn't know that yet when Bunnie of NiQua asked me to come up with a bespoke Manico bag for myself.

All I knew was that I wanted a burgundy tote. So I came up with these, in three sizes, Mini, Medium and Large:

Berry & I love our matching totes. She has the Mini while I have here with me the Large. Although the Medium size is a great size too if you want a handy everyday bag.

 

Here's a better look at my Large Manico tote:

Here's Berry's:

To give you an idea of how to bespoke your NiQua, it's more than just having your initials embossed on a bag!

First, you decide if you want it on a clutch...

Or a bag.

If it's a bag, you may choose the hardware, the length and color of the handle drop, the color of the sides (you may have two different colors for each side!), the color of the body, and the color of the base.

 

For the hardware, you can choose from Brass, Gold, and Gunmetal. Bongga diba?

If you want to Bespoke Your NiQua now, you may pre-order now and take advantage of the discount! Details below:

Clutch Me if You Can - Edie Parker

 

What would compel a woman to have her name carved into a clutch? Is it vanity? Pride? Or both?

Edie Parker says its bespoke line of clutches "transforms the classic accessory into a stylish statement of identity." After all, "A woman's handbag has forever been her most personal accessory."

True. True.

If you'd like your own bespoke Edie Parker clutch, be willing to wait four to six weeks for it. Each piece is obviously unique and handcrafted with care in the US of A.

I know what I want already, that one like Sofia's, above. A gold confetti clutch with my initials CD in solid black. MFO could be fun too. But to shell out $1795 for one? The question I really should be asking is - when?

I like my name, and I'd love to see it emblazoned on an expensive clutch. Vanity and pride rearing their ugly heads. Edie Parker, I beg thee, release me from thy clutches!

In 2010, Brett Heyman, former PR director for Gucci, launched a collection of vintage-style acrylic clutches and handbags under the label Edie Parker. Inspired by her love for vintage handbags, particularly handbags favored by showgirls and socialites during the 1950s and 1960s, her clutches are chic, wearable sculptures that are objects of delight with retro soul.
