POP 261 Thursday, 8 April 2010

Today’s POP is Letty, on her way to Paris for a short break from POP.

 

 

 

 

 

I am whisked away into the different cities that each of the Bulgari Chandra bags are inspired by whilst day dreaming on the Eurostar; an exciting journey that criss-crosses the globe from the Far East to the United States.

 

 

But where to go……Chandra Rome, in Pompeian red plissé nappa leather and antique coin embellishments is perfect for a glammed up day, strolling along the promenades of Europe, whilst the Chandra Sante Fe evokes the sunny desert landscape of New Mexico and the warm colours of its characteristic dwellings…. you can almost feel the warmth on your skin!

 

 

 

 

 

Chandra Shanghai, with its classic shades of black, gold, and red reminds me of a vintage necklace set with pearls, rubies and diamonds. Wearing it on your shoulder, with its “Bulgari Bulgari” rings brings to mind the Oriental glamour of China.

 


The journey ends with Chandra Istanbul – a tribute to the past and to the byzantine allure of the ancient pearl of the Ottoman Empire. The bag evokes enchanting, mysterious Turkish nights with the gold minarets and domes of the mosques shrouded in a black satiny sky. Perfect for an elegant “mysterious” night out.

 

 

 

 

These special edition bags will be featured in several charity auctions during high profile Save the Children events in major cities worldwide. The proceeds for this event will be entirely donated to humanitarian aid projects for Haitian children. All the more reason to get one, non?

 

 

 

 

All these cities are destinations I have definitely down for 2010, but for the time being I am faced with the decision of which of these clutches to take out with me to another fab night at La Montana…….
