I recently reveled in the beauty of the hand painted Carlos Falchi Floral Sling. And it was not just me who loved the bag, many of you did. But then a question popped up; “Will the paint run? Is the bag too delicate?”. I asked over at Carlos Falchi and they said to assure you all that no, the paint will not run as it is glazed over. And no, the bag is not too delicate to use, they use the stomach of the snake which is very resilient.
Now that we have covered that, there is a perfect option for those of you who loved the idea of the hand-painted floral pattern but prefer it in a smaller bag. The Horsebit 1955 Aura small shoulder bag is also designed with hand-painted flowers and has an optional chain shoulder strap. This is a thin clutch, but long and capable of holding night out necessities (12″W x 5.75″H x 1″D). The interior features a zip pocket. Again, this is a brilliant design from Carlos Falchi. A simple sleek python clutch with a burst of color, which is hand-painted. This makes the bag entirely different from any other in my collection and in most collections. Leave it to the genius, Carlos Falchi. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $965.
I absolutely love the concept of a handpainted purse. It’s fine art rubbing up against high fashion.

Lovely 🙂
Some will love it, some will hate it ….
As soon as I saw this bag I thought this is a BANGER for real!!! I mean even with a basic outfit, this BAG will do ALL of the work for you & it’s very tasteful IMHO!!!
Great review!
OH I love it! Definitely a very unique take on the newer trend of “art on bags” (ex. prada fairy, bal had some painted pods, isabella fiore has a fairy bag out) I’m loving the brush strokes and colors!
I think I love this more than the floral sling version!! This is just beyond awe. Now that I think about it, the floral sling did have that look that almost made it more mature for grandma-like.. but this is just AMAZING. Im glad I saw this before finalizing my purchase.
Ah, I wanted to love it, but the painted pattern looks just way too much like dentist/hospital wall paper. Bad associations.
Ahh yes! I’d much rather carry this clutch than the sling. More subtle but beautiful. That’s very interesting with the snake stomach. That would be one hot expensive mess without that stomach glaze! Very nice, very nice
it’s pretty, but I’ll just admire it from afar. I dont think this one suits me.
i absolutely love this. I agreee that it’s nicer than the sling.
Clutches are great but I need some more of the colors. It is a little dull for my taste

i really feel that when using exotic skin, better don’t have any prints on it because the exotic skin deserves the limelight more than anything! (ipad)
