PURSES:

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Black Grained Leather Spiked Shoulder Bag – SOLD

Fiercely edgy, this silver stud-trimmed grained leather shoulder bag has a good amount of attitude throughout what could have been a conservative and practically styled purse.  Alternating silver spike and pyramid studs frame the piece, and the front pocket is secretly secured by a triple-studded zipper pull that locks by push-button to the silver front-facing hardware.  The main compartment has a full-zipped top, and there is an additional snap pocket on the back of the bag under the signature plate.  The double shoulder strap and soft body of this piece adds comfort to its otherwise hardcore nature.  Each pocket and zipper pull open to reveal a trademark red grosgrain satin lining, and the interior has both an additional zipped and open pocket.  Size 12″ [W] x 8″ [H] x 3″ [D].  This dangerously tempting bag original retailed approximately $1,700.  Our price is $799. SOLD

 

MULBERRY Black Leather ‘Hetty Hobo’ – SOLD

This “large and in charge” hobo by the acclaimed British luxury brand, Mulberry, is in brand new condition, with its tags and dust bag.  The hugable soft grained leather comprises the large body of the bag, and is wonderfully juxtaposed by the small gold horseshoe top handles, and cozy shoulder strap.  The top of the piece closes by four magnets along the opening, and while this piece did not come in with its original lock, one could be added to the hobo, should you desire additional security.  This slick-looking carry-all is perfect for the laptop-toting professional, or makes a fantastic weekender.  Size 19″ [W] x 16″ [H] x 7″ [D].  The “Hetty Hobo” retailed for $1,500, our price is $699.
