“The Luella Gisele bag was launched in 2002 by Luella Bartley, though it only became really popular by the end of 2003 and early 2004 with celebrities such as Kate Moss, Reese Witherspoon and Christina Aguilera toting the bag on their arms. The fact that the bag was named after Gisele Bundchen might have also helped in its marketing along the way.
With English equestrian inspirations, the Luella Gisele bag came out in three main sizes, the baby, the standard and the large (as shown in the pictures here). The colours were all amazing on these bags, notably bright happy colours from apple green to yellow, pink and red.
The collaborated effort between Mulberry and Luella Bartley for the Luella Gisele proved quite creative in efforts and the design of this bag was produced in various materials from calf grained leather to patent leather, suede and canvas”
I don’t know about all this…I just really liked the colors and details of the bag. And got it on super sale! Plus with some store credit after “liking” the store (avelle.com) on FB (yay!) And had it shipped to friend in Reno (no sales tax.) Double-yay!
Avelle really has some good deals (sometimes) on couture bags. I was actually drooling over both a Louis Vuitton (one of the few LV bags I actually like enough to buy – no LVs all over it) and a Prada (gorgeous yellow color which I have NO bags in so need one!) but they were both sold before I had a chance to checkout! Dammit!
But I liked this one a lot as it looks quite whimsical and fun PLUS a great baby pink color which I totally need. And husband loves Giselle so he can’t possibly be annoyed by such a cute purchase that was named after her, right? ;)
Ok, I better step away from the computer and internet shopping and go on a hike now…
