Introducing Carbotti Handbags :-) and outfit pics!

Ok so you guys know how much I love a nice handbag. And in the last year I have developed a bit of a thing well obsession for Mulberry handbags, especially the Bayswater. I love the classic style of the Bays, I love the roominess of the bags. Best of all I love the functionality and the fact that I can use these bags for work or play. 

But there is one little problem though.......... the price. With all the gloomy economic predictions I had to tell myself that I could not just keep on buying designer handbags.  And since FabFrugal ended it has been on a monthly/bimonthly basis! Eeek!!! There are other things I want to do. And although I may not have a conscience when it comes to handbags, DH does. And we have plans for the future that I need to contribute to as well. But alas, I could not just go back to high street purchases and bags that fall apart after using them three times. And I really, really wanted a RED bag! So I searched and I searched. I made some mistakes but finally I found out about the Carbotti brand of Italian Luxury leather handbags. And it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!!!!! 


SO without further ado, I am introducing my red Carbotti handbag. Here we go! I use my Black Bays in the last pic as she was getting a bit jealous.






But I have saved the best news for last!!! I will be stocking this style in my shop very soon!!! I have ordered 4 colours in this particular style, red, navy blue, black and chocolate (one item in each colour). I am hoping the shipment arrives this week. This particular style will retail for £160 in my little online boutique. 

I am happy to reserve bags for followers of my blog (from now until 31st JAN 2012)  until the shipment arrives for £80. Email me on caribbeanprincessmusingsATgmailDOTcom if you are interested to find out my paypal details and let me know the colour you would like.


So tell me lovelies, what do you think of my bag? Please share in the comments. And at least I know NO ONE will be wondering around with it! haha.

More bags?! *mock gasp* It's lovely though, I like the formal design and it's SO BRIGHT! How do you decide what to use everyday?!

Thanks Charlotte! I need to model my black east west at some point.

Alannarama, I love handbags! But Carbotti are much more affordable ;-) I just decide what colours I want to wear. Most times I choose the bag and then outfit to match.
