Shop Small: Luken & Co.

Today I'm excited to share a new brand, Luken & Co. based out of Norwalk Connecticut. The brand's founder, Francesco Lauri, after working with his family's chain stores throughout the Lazio region of Italy, as well as at top luxury brands, created Luken & Co. about a year ago.

 

The current collection focuses on bags built for everyday life, which provide a feeling of luxury while at attainable price points - ranging from $110 to $32. The bags in the collection are a mix of Italian leather, vegan leather, and fabric. One of the highlights of the collection is the option to switch up the straps on all the bags, with the addition of a sleek chain, or a vibrant printed guitar strap. 

 

I'm wearing the Firenze Shoulder Bag, a roomy camera bag made from Italian leather, with the gold chain strap. The bag features gold tone hardware and a fun tassel zipper pull. It's available in four colors, but I love this creamy nude/blush for a season-less neutral shade that isn't black.

The Sun

It's been a grey and wet July, and I'm feeling robbed of my long summer days. I haven't had a beach day (or beach three hours) yet, nor have I gotten ice cream at 9 p.m. while enjoying the last glimmers of sunset while it's still warm out, or had a picnic at a winery, so I hope the sun returns soon. I hate feeling like I'm missing out on summer.

Borrowed

You may have noticed I've been enjoying styling some designer bags lately, which has been a perk of working at Marijane Boutique. Of course I'm sad they aren't mine, but maybe having them in close proximity will prove to be the motivation I need to actually start saving for one of my own.

This Juliette Jake crocodile wrap clutch made the rounds with the celebrities back in it's heyday of 2010. I love the shape and it's a great size for the essentials, though the wrap design doesn't make for easy access.

I hadn't planned my outfit around it, since this was the first time I'd laid eyes on it, but it seemed like the perfect clutch for my leopard slip dress, which I'd gotten on clearance from Joie at the end of last summer.
