Some are shoe girls. Some are clothes girls. And some are handbag girls. I am most definitely the latter.

THE LOOK | dress, jacket (identical), sunglasses, booties (similar), handbag c/o 

From an early age, I’ve always been able to tell a well-made handbag from a not-so-well-made one. So when the team at Capolavori reached out and offered to send me one of their handbags, I jumped on the opportunity. After looking through their handbags, I actually learned a lot more about the brand itself. Capolavori is all about high-end craftsmanship directly from an artisan’s workshop. This means they’re all about promoting local craft production rather than mass production.

Aside from amazing selection of ridiculously well-made handbags, they also specialize in jewelry, home decoration, tableware and other leather goods! After digging a bit more, I also learned that Capolavori sells unique products only – everything is handmade! All materials are always natural (and they track that!), and made with love (a.k.a no exploited labor). The identity of the brand really makes me love my bag even more!

I’ve been wearing this bag with everything: jeans, cozy sweaters, and this velvet dress (duh). I love the crossbody option – it makes my commute a lot easier! I’ve also been wanting a classic black handbag for a while now, but never found one that was worth it. Now I’m SO happy I have this one to wear for years – the silhouette will never go out of style.

So if you’re looking for a something extra special for loved ones, Capolavori is probably the place to go. I highly recommend Capolavori and really encourage you to go check their products out!
