Rock & Republic Pavia Clutch in Black


I saw this clutch a few weeks ago when Brooke Shields carried it to an event.  After some online research I discovered that this gorgeous clutch was made by Rock and Republic.
Pavia
The Pavia has been carried by celebrities like Brooke Shields and Nina Dobrev.
Rock and Republic are known for their pocket denims, and for their edgy designs that are inspired by the world of Rock & Roll.
The Pavia is a very unique clutch
This is a 100% leather clutch with spiky metal zippers and chrome hardware.  It has two magnetic closures, and a little pocket inside, and it comes with a dust bag.
These are the most fantastic spiky metal zippers!
Fortunately, it is still available on their web site www.rockandrepublic.com (warning! Their site plays very loud music!)
The Rock and Republic Pavia is really roomy
It is simply stunning, and no photograph can really do it justice!  Because it’s quite long you’ll be surprised at just how much fits inside.  There is ample room for a small wallet, keys, a cell phone and some makeup.
Magnetic closures
Dimensions: 11 ½ “H X 4 ½ “ W X 1 5/8”D.
Enjoy!

Review: Zara Terez Nolita Grande Purse

My review on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande grey suede shoulder purse vs. Coach Sabrina.


I found this to be a really good quality suede bag, but there was some uneven stitching which I haven't found on bags of comparable price.  Watch my video for more details.

I did find loose threads on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande.
The handle is adjustable on the Zara Terez Nolita Grande.
The design, color, and especially the pleats make the bag look sophisticated.
All in all this is a beautiful and roomy bag, albeit the stitching issues on two places and the loose threads which can catch on rings or items being placed inside, or being removed from the bag.

Verdict:
Beautiful bag
Nice color
Quality suede
Perfect day-to-night bag
No dustbag
Loose threads
Uneven stitching

The strap is adjustable, but it is prone to slip somewhat when the bag is full and the weight of the bag starts to pull the strap downward.  After a few hours of wear you would need to adjust the strap, and this becomes very annoying.
