Made in India
A few weeks ago I went to Miami for a brief (and very random) few days. One of my finds was this faux-coral studded purse/box from Luna Designs: a store specializing in belly-dancing attire and fashion/accessories from India.
It wasn't just the metal and coral that drew me in, it was the success of a fashion bargain that left me beaming. You see, two hours before stumbling on to Luna Designs, I had dragged my poor bf to Zara. I spent a few minutes drooling over a purple studded purse-box (that looked exactly the same as my Luna bag), but convinced myself that $88 was just too steep. The fashion gods were feeling generous and let me pay only $35 for mine at Luna Designs. Ah sweet, sweet victory (I'm genuflecting right now).
P.S. If coral is not your thing, they also had a purple one (a la Zara) and another with turquoise. They don't have these specific purses on line, but I would just drop Luna Designs an email and give the fashion gods a nod.

That purse is amazing. SO amazing.
And haha yea, all the accounts can be overwhelming, but I used to have Twitter account and I use my facebook/blog all the time so it's really not too bad :D
How beautiful!!! I love the bright pops of colour from the coral against the silver. It looks stunning with your outfit. Good thing you resisted temptation at Zara! You were duly rewarded.
Hi there-ooh, gorgeous indeed and much more unique than a Zara bag too! A fantastic find!
i love i love. i want i want. :D
so eyecatching and pretty! the coral really pops. i wonder if the occassion warranted, could you use it as a clutch?
That purse is stunning! I love the shape and the pop of colour. I imagine it would be a damn cool jewellery box when not used as a purse.

I'm so envious that you went to a belly dancing store. I have been practing belly dancing every dance for the last few weeks using some lessons on DVD. If you like that style, you might enjoy looking at www.dancingrahana.com. They have some beautiful clothing and jewelry you might like. I'm particularly interested in getting a snake armband.
what a fabulous accent piece! I just love the coral color and the shape of the purse.
Such an awesome find!
ugh i want those lace up back skinies!!! What a great find!
Nice find! It's a much more authentic item than what you'd get at Zara too.

I'd like to say my comment would include a kudos on the bag and the bargain, but I guess I'm just a bit taken by the fact that there are stores that specialize in belly dancing...
