Who doesn't love a custom, handmade item? Who loves a cute purse? Who loves something small? Who loves things that can go inside bigger things? That’s right THIS GIRL DOES!! I am not your typical girlie girl, even though I am making strides to become more girlie, I don’t always like to carry a purse, especially not a huge big one, well except for my big purple Coach purse Cole got me..LOVE that one! So I look for smaller purses. Whether it be a cross body, amazing clutch, stuffable purse (you know, for inside the big one so you don’t have to take the whole thing in walmart) or just my little mini wallet that hooks to my keys that’s what I like. So when we were contacted by a Stillwater, OK company who makes AMAZING headbands, STUNNING clutches and ADORABLE MUST HAVE baby items, I knew it was ment to be.
Hair Candy is a semi local to me company. It is run by a mom who just wants to make all the cute boutique purses, hair wear and baby items affordable to everyone, through her etsy shop and her facebook page. She offers tons of options for everything she make’s, from pick your own fabrics and accents to help her design the item.
Hair Candy sent us this SUPER CUTE clutch wristlet and an adorable headband, which will be covered in another post this week. She let me pick out my fabrics and then she went to work on making it. I choose zebra and polka dots in orange and black of course, have to show my COWBOY pride. The clutches range from $18-$22 plus shipping, which is a great deal considering how fast she gets them done and that you pick the fabric and everything is made FOR YOU! All the clutches are lined and have a pocket perfect for phone, keys, gum, lip gloss, you know the small things that get lost.
Perfect for the Zombie Lover
I used the wristlet clutch as a true wristlet for a few days and then as a stuffable for the rest of the time. I had to be a big kid and go on interviews so I needed my nicer leather purse but didn’t want to carry all the stuff in it. I loved this purse! It was perfect to hold my chapstick, touch up make up, mini wallet, phone and hand sanitizer and lotion. Now, I didn’t carry all of this at once, make up was only if I wore it that day, but everything else stayed in the bag. The zipper is always a big deal for me since when I am girlie, I do tend to over stuff my purse and let me say..I did try to with this one, made the little guy so chunky it hardly closed, but the zipper stayed, didn’t unstitch, didn’t pucker and didn’t get stuck!
Do I think there could be improvements?
Well, it did stain a bit and I considered putting something on it but decided not to, just washed it in my washer and my stains came out!
Another pocket or set of credit card pockets, I think those would be a great addition to add just 2-3 pockets for cards, that way they would be secure and you wouldn’t need to have another bag inside it.
Will I buy from Hair Candy?
OF COURSE! I LOVE her fabric choices, her quick turn around time, AMAZING prices and willingness to work with her customers.
What Would I Buy?
Zipper coin purse, one of my FAV items ever invented, baby items for friends (such cute items) and maybe even another clutch.
