The Artful Bag

What is it that they say: “You can never be too thin or too rich…” However, for me the saying continues with “…and a girl can never have too many handbags." The Artful Bag makes some truly dazzling crystal encrusted clutch bags but all at a fraction of the price of other designer crystal bags.  They start from an affordable £59 and range up to a more pricey £599. These clutches are fun and original allowing you to add a bit of your own personality to whatever your given outfit might be. This newcomer and best kept glamour-bag secret, is the brain child of the talented designer/founder Rinku Banga . She told me “I’ve always had a passion for gorgeous handbags  and I saw a gap in the market for 'affordable' crystal clutches. After all as not everyone has lots of ££ to spend on the likes of a Judith Leiber.”

The Silver Skulls clutch featured above is priced at £199 and is one of our favourite clutches. It is a metal skull cage design with a silver leather insert and a soft satin lining. There is a good weight to this clutch and each skull has been encrusted with crystal so there is no front or back to this bag it’s just skulls all over.  We like to think that it is a bit like us  - edgy but elegant!

Something that I find very charming about The Artful Bag is that they believe in the old adage ‘If gifting a purse or wallet, put a penny in for good luck’ So every customer receives a free gift inside each of their bags (and no I’m not going to tell you what – you’ll just have to wait and see!)
