“Luxury
I’m normally fairly disinterested about Salvatore Ferragamo stuff, mostly associating it with ‘older’ tastes and designs. It’s a very classic brand to me, with neutral colours and very safe styles. All of which are the exact opposite of what I go for.
So I surprised myself when I popped into a boutique one day, and walked out with a bag!

The real name is the Salvatore Ferragamo Vara Patent Leather Piuma Clutch, apparently. But I just call it my “Ferragamo turquoise bag”, to make things easier 😉 It’s small, it’s compact, it’s glossy, and HELLO it’s turquoise!!!
Guess I don’t really have to explain why I basically LEAPED over the counter like a crazy person to buy this sucker.
How could I possibly resist that stunning colour? And the cute trademark bow??

I… ermmm… sorta butchered mine a little. I didn’t fancy the short strap – it made the bag seem very dressy so I couldn’t use it for casual wear. So I took it off and used pliers to stick on a long chain and VOILA! Cross body bag 😀

Omg. thank YOU! I bought mine in red and i really wanna have it in long chain. You just gave me an idea. ^^
Heh have fun and it’s so much nicer with a longer chain IMHO !
Yeah, that’s Karen Cheng. I adore ferragamo shoes and collect them:p I simply cannot resist the bows.
They’re such good quality too!
That’s Karen Cheng! I enjoy reading her blog too!
You’ve sharp eyes!
Pretty! I would have never had the guts to take pliers to rework a luxury bag.
Well the strap it came with unclips without needing to be pried open.. so it was just my own silver chain (not expensive) that I had to plier on. Not too scary 😉
