Crazy for Custom Clutches

Posted by on Dec 23, 2009 in Blog | 6 Comments

So excited to tell you all about {AO3} Designs! I adore this company and all of their beautiful and fun bags.

First, let’s take a look at some gorgeous bridal clutches. For brides who would like to infuse a little vintage and very personal touch, if you send {AO3} a piece of fabric or anything similar, they can create a custom clutch – the {Something Old to Something New} Bridal Clutch. Below, see a before and after where {AO3} Designs crafted a custom piece from the sleeve from a vintage family wedding dress.

Cool concept right? Ah, and just so pretty!

A few other classic bridal options…

There are quite literally hundreds of color combinations to choose from for your ladies. There are beautiful collections and patterns, many of which can be accented with a ribbon or fabric of your choice to compliment your colors. You can choose different patterns all with the same accent, or flip it around. Imagine the possibilities!

And if you would like to add a little something extra, for just a bit more you can include a monogram inside each bag – initials, wedding date? hmm….

Oh goodness, this pretty little number has a hand strap on the back to make it easier and more comfortable to carry. Which in my mind translates to: with a little bit of practice, I should be able to carry my bag and my drink in one hand ;) shapeimage_10

Ohhh I love wristlets, I will definitely be rockin’ these come springtime! Who needs a wedding or special occasion to wear a cute bag? Seriously?

    What a great way to add some color, pattern and style! I love this idea as an alternative to bouquets. And something that you can use again and again after the wedding. Awesome. :)
