Charlotte Olympia Lantern Silk Minaudiere: Splurge du Jour – Handbag du Jour

Splurge du Jour: Charlotte Olympia Lantern Silk Minaudiere
Charlotte Olympia consistently creates the most fun handbags around. They may not be for everyday wear, and may not be everyone’s cup of tea but they most certainly are conversation pieces! At first glance, this Charlotte Olympia Lantern Silk Minaudiere looks more like something you might find in a high-end home furnishings store but alas – it is a handbag! An evening bag, to be more specific. The lantern-shaped minaudiere is a part of Charlotte Olympia‘s Chinese-inspired fall collection, and is made of bright red silk satin, covered with brass detail. A black tassel hangs from the bottom and it comes with a detachable, gold-tone chain strap.

Measures 7 ½”W x 6″H x 3 ½”D with a 19″ strap drop.

Buy it for $2,995 at Nordstrom.com.
