Tuesday Thrills - Franchi Clutch Bags

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As this is the first 'Tuesday Thrills' post for 2012, I wanted to start on a glamorous note, which is something designer Franco Franchi is familiar with. His range of exquisite clutch bags are destined to accessorize the 'little black dresses' of the world with their refined splendor. Based in Florence, Franchi creates sparkling showpieces made from the best Italian leather, Oriental silks and Swarovski crystals. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Founded in 1995, it is only recently that <i>Franchi Handbags</i> have branched out into clutch bags, with a trendier market in mind. The design team creates bags with simple shapes, its magnetic appeal lies in the finer detailing. Decorative floral and studded trims, slinky mesh, gleaming gemstones and plush satin. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Adding one of these clutches to your cocktail dress, prom gown or a tailored suit will transform your entire look. Even brides and their bridesmaids need somewhere stylish to carry their lipgloss. A <i>Franchi</i> clutch can be used to dress up a pair of jeans and heels for a girl's night out or a romantic date. It's the perfect size to keep all your out-on-the-town essentials. These are some pieces from the current collection.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9LOX7DCumpEnUtubCgSbEmcg-teRPrVqSgQguwcOfjc-K4SXph29yZKZcdz1MO1XqV9Q37N6-Az7U9GYeadZeue4RhFoEJzu20-6C4qt6_JBn1ahECDk0EBL_soiD4W-8isl4NWfY-HY/s1600/fh1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9LOX7DCumpEnUtubCgSbEmcg-teRPrVqSgQguwcOfjc-K4SXph29yZKZcdz1MO1XqV9Q37N6-Az7U9GYeadZeue4RhFoEJzu20-6C4qt6_JBn1ahECDk0EBL_soiD4W-8isl4NWfY-HY/s640/fh1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <i>Andrea</i> in black.

Diamonds have also been set into the lugs, and a single rosecut diamond adorns the crown.<br /><br />As with models of prior years, both versions feature traditionally crafted silver opaline dials, with domed and strongly defined black Roman and Arabic numerals.<br /><br />Presented in 18k white gold, these models are fitted on a black alligator strap and matching white gold pin buckle, and both are executed in the resolutely classic 27.5mm width, respecting the traditional dimensions of an iconic dress watch.<br /><br />As with the other Slim Classique collection models these new pieces are powered by an ultra-flat hand-winding movement crafted by Piaget for Ralph Lauren.<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://blog.perpetuelle.com/watches/sihh-2012-ralph-lauren-slim-classique/">Perpetuelle</a><br /><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Similar posts:    </b> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/09/montblanc-villeret-1858-pulsograph-for.html">Montblanc Villeret 1858 Pulsograph for Only Watch</a>  </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/08/hublot-chukker-bang-watch.html">Hublot Chukker Bang Watch</a>  </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/07/girard-perregaux-wwtc-for-only-watch.html">Girard-Perregaux ww.tc for Only Watch 2011</a> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/07/frederique-constant-runabout-moonphase.html">Harry Winston’s Midnight Hours</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/07/frederique-constant-runabout-moonphase.html">Frederique Constant Runabout Moonphase watch </a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/mb-hm-4-panda-for-only-watch-2011.html">MB&F HM-4 Panda for Only Watch 2011</a> </div><br /><b>Save and share Ralph Lauren Slim Classique Watch</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends?
