Luxury handbag label Buba enjoyed teaming up with jewelry firm Cabinet so much on their first collection, it’s doing it all again this fall/winter.
The colors we saw in the spring/summer collection have been muted to reflect the changing seasons. The combination of mellow gray, ivory, and soft golden hues and Cabinet’s gemstones is very old Hollywood. The pieces are sophisticated but also ultra luxurious, the kind of things you might imagine Betty Davis or Rita Hayworth carrying to their red carpet premieres. They project an air of wealth but don’t scream it ostentatiously, so they’re very appropriate for the current financial climate.
They’re also more versatile than you might think. As statement pieces they really can make an outfit special, whether it’s a haute couture gown or simple jeans and tee.
The luxury materials Buba and Cabinet use to create these pieces of wearable art mean they’re on the expensive side, although the cheapest clutches should be achievable for girls on a budget. They start at £195 for the Heart Purse, although the larger day and travel bags are much more expensive. If you want to blow your budget, look to the Geo Travel Bag, Small Mandala Travel Bag, or regular Mandala Travel Bag. These purses are all priced at £1260.
