Bagatelles And Co Giveaway! CLOSED


Finding the right purse for any occasion can be a trial. I have a few staples that could go with anything, but it's so much more fun to find a perfectly matching purse for your outfit.

Rym of Bagatelles & Co creates and makes purses and clutches using high quality textiles that can/will match any occasion. When she was an art student in Paris, she made purses and small notebooks to help finance a school trip to NYC. Ultimately, her company Bagatelles & Co was born last summer.

We've all had a scenario like the following: Rym was looking for a nice evening bag for a wedding she was attending and could not find anything beautiful yet affordable.

So common, so true, so annoying.

While most of us suck it up and spend the big bucks or make our "plus one" carry our ID and credit card, Rym ended up making her own purse. After that, she got lots of requests from friends which led to setting up her own little company!

Rym opened her etsy shop in May, and she has an amazing array of handmade items sure to match any occasion. I personally LOVED this Azulejos Gigi purse.

I love that it's small enough to use as a coin purse and throw in my tote and large enough to carry my keys, cash and cards should I need a little clutch for a night out.

Rym has an array of fabrics for this purse and a number of sizes she makes as well. She is inspired by EVERYTHING! Walking around in the streets, art books, folk costumes, the 20’s, films, music, flowers, paintings… even food.

Rym uses recycled fabrics and remnants from luxury tailoring and furnishing textile rolls, which makes her products environmentally friendly. She tries to avoid wasting fabric and uses any left over pieces to make brooches, earrings and barrettes. All of these items can be found in her etsy shop, Bagatelles & Co.

Now for the giveaway. How would you like to own this Azulejos Gigi purse?
