Stash: Chain Purse

At last, I present to you the chain purse charm! You might remember that this is one of the very few purse purse/handbag charms that I was really into when it first popped up for pre-order on Juicy's website. I had some slight reservations about what exactly lurked beneath the fringe and now it's no longer a mystery.

This is a very simple charm; chain "fringe" all over with just a basic brown enamel shape beneath. I think the best details, however, are in the handles and the iconic "J" tag hanging on one side. If you like Juicy handbags at all, you'll recognize the J tag.. it is typically on every single Daydreamer (their most popular style) they ever produce. Sometimes it makes it onto other styles of bags, and now a charm!

I have a lot of brown leather bags, so I like the chocolaty color for this purse. It may be a summer release, but it definitely has that fall feeling about it. The handles are sweet and true to form.. what else could we ask for? Not much, I think. I'm really surprised by how much I like this charm, considering it doesn't have a whole lot going on. Probably not worth the suggested retail price, but you can nab it for 30% off if you hurry in to Juicy and mention their Friends & Family sale (it ends tomorrow!).

On The Horizon: Chain Purse

Finally! Something completely unexpected that has me very intrigued. I have always loved the chain detail Juicy uses to mimic different things - hair, tails, and now fringe!

I'm dying to see this in person, because I'm very curious to know what it looks like beneath the fringe. Is it just a curtain of metal, or does an actual purse shape lurk beneath? I must know. I'm also loving the handles -- this handbag charm looks pretty different from any other one they've done before. Excited!!
