Vogue Accessories Newsflash - Bea Valdes Handbags

[ignitioned32]

A Filipino handbag designer featured in this month's Vogue.

I was always delighted when I saw her bags while passing by this chic little boutique called Firma in Greenbelt 3. I always knew her bags couldn't be kept just within the confines of our shores.

"La Revue Negre" has a turtle accent on a crafted background of peridot, silver and black crystals.

A turtle accent? Is that real turtle?

I'm not sure. I don't think so...

A turtle accent? Is that real turtle?

I hope not .. if so it would totally ruin the entire bag for me

 

[shoexgal]

its too too much

no...it looks like a little turtle-shaped "brooch" made out of stones, to me

gaultier has some bags made out of entire tortoise shells in his latest haute couture collection...

Looks more like a turtle hiding in a bunch of beads .

(Sorry no offense ignitioned32)

Looks like a turtle shell... to me.


those bags are "Total Monet's" Beautiful from afar, but far from beautiful. ... Should I really be quoting Clueless... eeek!

 

[oceanharlot]

i dont think its a piece of turtle shell, each part of it is too symmetrical. turtle shells are like our fingerprints, each one it slightly different and unique.

not very clear photos of the purses, but i think i like the ones on the first post, at least the shape is interesting.

 

[michieco]

So many things are going on with the bag - It's too much. Sorry.

 

[surfermegz]

I agree with you... it just seems so busy!

 

[Meg]

I think they could look quite intricate in person. I'd like to see them in perosn before making a decision

 

[pucci_mama]

I really really really really don't like it, and i am trying to be polite.

 

[greenjack]

I'm so PROUD of Bea Valdes for making it in Vogue.

 

[MJCouture]

These bags look like the love children of a Judith Leiber clutch and Keith Richards' hair.
