Bulga Handbag
From LoveToKnow Handbags
Investing in a Bulga handbag is a smart choice if you're looking for something timeless, stylish and individual – all at once. Needless to say, that's a challenge that can't often be met by most handbags, but Bulga, renowned for its fashionable, statement-making designs, often capitalizes on what's hot by giving each piece its own unique spin. The result is a bag that easily stands out in the crowd.
About Bulga
Before anyone delves into the company's history, their first question is naturally about that curious name. Bulga means "leather" in Latin, and it was founder Natalia Konovalova's love for the exquisite material that inspired her company's moniker. Of course, it was also her love for fashion that sparked the idea in the first place. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Konovalova started out as a model before transitioning to design.
The line, which launched in 2003, was an instant hit amongst Hollywood elite. Jessica Simpson gave the company's studded bag leverage, allowing it to enjoy its intense moment in the spotlight by carrying it everywhere she went. Seen in hundreds of magazines and quickly scooped up by millions of fashionable women around the globe, the bag was just one of many designs that stood out as Bulga masterpieces.
Choosing the Bulga Handbag for You
They're more than just It Bags, yet they're carried by It Girls everywhere. Women who know a thing or two about sustainable styles – in this case, those that withstand the test of time and remain relevant for years – are on familiar terms with Bulga. The lineup is rife with soft, decadent pieces of arm candy that deservedly earn admiring glances no matter where they go. Thanks to the sturdy leather material, beautiful details and hot designs, there's a Bulga handbag for every woman.
Butterfly
The legendary bag that solidified Bulga's name in the industry (and the same bag Jessica Simpson helped make famous), the Butterfly boasts an easy, grab-and-go shape that makes it perfect for work or weekend wear. Especially roomy, the large size measures about one foot tall and 16 inches wide. Even the smaller size is spacious, thanks to nearly 11 inches of height and 15 of width. It's available in a variety of colors, and each is adorned with studs that run the length and trim the sides of the bag. This bag is ideal for the woman who tends to carry a lot and doesn't like to leave anything behind!
Katia
As glamorous as its name suggests, Katia is an adorable satchel that offers a multitude of styling possibilities. It boasts a slightly downtown chic vibe, making it the ultimate professional woman's bag. Since it's a handheld, it's best not to pack it too heavily; it's also worth noting that Katia weighs about two and a half pounds. While the exterior is coated in the brand's delicious signature leather, the interior is lined with a playful floral fabric and filled with functional pockets. The orange color is especially striking for the warmer months. It looks right at home worn with a suit!
Gertrude
Gertrude is all about form, function and one very unique handle. Constructed of thick, scrunched, gathered leather that looks almost accordion-like, the handle balances perfectly the bag's hefty body. Though not particularly detailed, Gertrude is still exceptionally stylish. Two bundles of long tassels dangle strategically from either side, while gold hardware adds just a touch of shine. Simple and complex at once, this roomy purse is an instant style winner.
Fengari
This chic little shoulder bag is available in a multitude of colors, but the most eye-catching are the trendy metallic shades. Slick, but never over the top, the silvers and golds in the group shine brightly, but are still understated. In fact, they're perfect to carry even during the day. The kiss-lock closure gives it a ladylike edge, while the unique tiered design brings a fresh vibe to an otherwise traditional leather bag.
Other Styles
If hefty carryalls and dainty little bags aren't your thing, don't worry. You'll still have a wide selection to choose from, including adorable clutches (like Ella) and sassy patent leather totes (like Kato).
