Hand Painted Bolarti Clutch

Bolarti hand painted clutch with snap closure. In fantastic condition! Retails for $295.

Wendi McGowan, the designer of new Bolarti handbags, which launched in September, stopped in for a visit at D yesterday, and let me tell you, she’s as lovely as her colorful clutches. They’re priced at $295–a little steep for non-designer, I know–but here’s why you should add them to your shopping list. Each bag is handcrafted. Wendi uses a knife to swipe acrylic paints onto each canvas purse. It’s then glazed to prevent damage and lined with silk. Bags can be customized, too. Need a combo of colors you can’t find anywhere? She’ll put it together for you. If you’re not creative, there are 12 designs to choose from already. Lastly, if you make a purchase, you’ll be the proud owner of a very unique bag in the exclusive Bolarti family.
