thrifted find of the week - cheap & cheerful cherries

I just couldn’t resist when I found this in the second-hand shop this morning:

Now, it’s not like I need more purses (heck, how many of us actually need a new purse??) but I saw those sparkly, beaded cherries and couldn’t put it down.

one of a kind accessories from Hoakan/Helga

I was just recently introduced to the design company of Hoakan/Helga and their unique collection of jewelry, bags & scarves.

Metallic envelope clutch purse

Maison Martin Margiela isn’t helping my obsession with metallic & irridescent coated leathers:

I know that is kind of looks like a chunk of abused aluminum, but this coated leather “metallic envelope” clutch purse still fills me with longing :-)
