Ascending Butterfly's Featured Handbag in the Spotlight Giveaway, brought to you by:
We are so happy to have our regular feature back, I can't believe we have been presenting a new bag since 2009! Apologies for the June hiatus, the company that was slated for that spot backed out at the very last minute and didn't leave me enough time to make new arrangements!
I wanted to make sure our feature came back this month with something fantastic to make up for the hiatus (this was the very FIRST time our handbag feature had ever been on hiatus!), and our friends at Elliott Lucca stepped up to the plate and I mean BIG TIME! So first, I just wanted to take a moment and say Thank You to Elliott Lucca for stepping in this month!
Oliva Satchel
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Exterior: Leather
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Shiny Gold Tone Hardware
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Removable strap with a drop of 18"
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Lining features two multi function pockets and a zippered backwall pocket
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 14.5"L X 5.5"W x 9"H, Drop 4.75"
I received the Oliva Satchel in a color called 'Cool Water' and I must say she's tres trendy for summer! Great summer color, chain detailing on the strap and super cute detailing on the hand straps along with a tassel make this bag perfect for wherever you may find yourself this summer! There are other colors available, including the super hot 'papaya' color for this summer and also a 'bright yellow' color that will certainly turn heads. (It definitely helps that the name reminds me of a mens cologne that I like the smell of - Davidoff Cool Water)
And for YOU? Lucca Crossbody Drawstring
While my taste in handbags tends to lean a bit more toward utilitarian styles, I try to mix it up when it comes to giveaways, so this month the giveaway bag won't match my review bag exactly, but the good thing is, you get your choice of color! So you get Elliott Lucca style with YOUR choice of color, sounds like a total 'win/win' to me!
