I am on a shopping kick lately. Actually I think I would blame the good sales going on these days. And a couple weeks back I went to the Ela Handbags sample sale to add some new bags to my wardrobe.
For those of you who don't know, Ela, co-founded by Ela Kowalewska and Martin Aldorsson, is a Swedish/Canadian handbags and accessories brand. The T.O. duo wants to create a line of accessories that embody the basis of humble luxury. All their handbags are crafted in Spain with high quality Italian materials.
When I first walked into the sale, I was already overwhelmed by the collection. I did not expect there are so many choices available, and the prices are unbeatable.
I had my eyes on their M.I.L.C.K. Clutch before I went into the sample sale. If memory serves me correctly, there were over 20 different things for you to choose from. So I went a little crazy, and here's a pic of some of the things I grabbed to decide:
I ended up getting Chibi Lady Bag in Red Stud, M.I.L.C.K. Clutch in Sand Stud and M.I.L.C.K. Clutch in Hot Pink Suede for myself. I also picked up the Lardy Bag in Red Stud for Joyce and M.I.L.C.K. Clutch in Purple for Emily!
I also got the chance to have a quick chat with Ela and Martin, who both are so so sweet and helpful. And can you believe how good look they both are, seriously, what a power cute couple!
The designs of their bags are simply and elegant, yet unique. With Spring and Summer coming up, I'm looking forward to put my Chibi Lady Bag and M.I.L.C.K. Clutch into use. If you want to check out their newest collection, Ela Handbags are available at Holt Renfrew, eluxe, The Code, and on their website (I have my eyes on the rose gold Editor's Pouch).
Until next time,
x Rica
