Celestina Mother of Pearl Clutch
Over the weekend Vlad and I attended a wedding of a good friend of ours. As the toasts got a bit long, I found myself staring at the women’s bags around me. I know that is probably the last thing I should be thinking of, but let’s face it, I am just that shallow. So I browsed the room and peeked my head over shoulders admiring some bags and gagging at others. But a beautiful diamond in the rough caught my eye. A woman in her mid 40’s was dressed to the 9’s, wearing killer heels and a gorgeous clutch. The clutch looked to be made of mother-of-pearl, very similar to the Celestina Mother of Pearl Clutch. This clutch emanates beauty and refinement with its smooth mother-of-pearl exterior with an oversized brass bracket. Celestina minaudiere bags can be describes as being “meticulously designed by Ms. Tina Maristela-Ocampo, Manila’s fashion icon, entrepreneur and designer, and painstakingly created by hand by the country’s finest craftsmen using age-old techniques and unique materials from different parts of the Philippines.” You all better believe I was dressed to kill (and had the most handsome date), but a clutch like this would have completed my outfit even more perfectly. Via Vivre for $1,115.

its not even made of mother of pearl as it claims but made of a lower class shell that looks just like mother of pearl.

it’s a bit pricey, but knowing the craftsmanship and ingenuity of Filipinos, it’s worth every penny spent.

What made you say those harsh comments? Have you bought the purse? For you to be able to say that, you have to have the actual purse…Besides, I don’t think Drew Barrymore wouldn’t be using the purse at the Golden Globes if it weren’t an authentic Mother of Pearl purse!!!!

Knowing how cheap labor is in the Philippines, I think it is overpriced. Drew Barrymore couldn’t care less. Tina hired a PR agent whose job is to supply the client’s products to celebrities for it to be used and they plant photographers to make it look like a paparazzi shot. Well anyway, I hope Tina succeeds in this new endeavor of hers to help her recover from being the subject in Kitty Go’s “When Chic Hits the Fan and When Chic Happens”.
