Clutch and Clasp

The Sunday Times Style magazine featured an article on celebrities and their handbags. The celebrities included women such as Victoria Beckham, Nigella Lawson, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Savannah Miller. These women rated  classic handbags  to be their most popular with the Chanel 2.55 being the most mentioned.

Savannah Miller, sister of Sienna,  chose her Luella handbag;

“I love Luella’s handbags-they are beautifully made and you don’t see them everywhere…” (Sunday Times Style Magazine.)

The women interviewed did invest alot of money in their handbags but did choose to go for well made and classic handbags, rather than high trend pieces.

Luella handbags have a classic design aesthetic with the Gisele already iconic!

Due to customer feedback we have added a few more  new pieces in the under £10 category. Again we have  designed and produced pieces  that compliment   our existing collection in colours and shapes.

Turquoise Howlite Drop Earrings..£9.95 www.clutchandclasp.co.uk

Candy Pink Jade Faceted Squares with Swarovski Crystals. £9.95 at www.clutchandclasp.co.uk  Candy Pink has been one of our most successful colours so we hope that these are as popular!

The most popular pieces, so far, in the birthday promotion have been;

Rose Quartz Heart with Freshwater Pearl and Swarovski Crystal Pendant. This piece has already been a popular piece as it is very pretty and quite delicate. As we only use a very high standard of stones, a smooth freshwater pearl is used. Banding often appears in poor quality and less expensive pearls, but such pearls are not used within our collections.

Aventurine Heart on chocolate leather choker. This piece is currently our second most popular. Aventurine is a good stone to use due to it’s depth of colour which is set off well by the use of chocolate leather. This piece has been left untied to allow the wearer to adjust to their desired length.

Another green piece! The third current best seller. The stone used here is amazonite with clear swarovski crystals. The amazonite stone is also a beautiful shade of green, albeit a little paler than aventurine which tends to have more of a blue hue to it. These earrings match one of our consistent best selling necklaces, the amazonite teardrop. This necklace has been amongst our top selling pieces over the past year.:

Amazonite Teardrop Necklace.
