Glitz n Pieces

I recently discovered, Glitz n Pieces, a new to me Irish-owned business while scrolling through my IG feed.

In 2013, Ellen and Grace from Dublin, Ireland created their ultimate dream of an affordable women’s online boutique with access to all types of women’s accessories under one roof.

They are cool and hip 30-something entrepreneurs on social media selling handbags and accessories.

I followed them both on IG and TikTok, then only started to engage with them when a comment was made about their bags were made in China, right away they disclosed their bags were made from Italian leather in an atelier in Italy. This is transparency, one of the key elements on where I spend my money.

I was quite taken by their enthusiastic sales pitch, yet they were so down to earth.

I bought my first ever Glitz n Pieces handbag last month, a Kate Bag Mini in suede and leather, based on the many positive reviews.  I went with Burgundy, the colour of the season!

Kate Bag – Mini Leather & Suede

The quality is exquisite and the workmanship is so beautiful. It’s Italian luxury without breaking the bank. 

Use it as a handbag
Also comes with a strap and use as a cross body bag

Disclaimer: This is a non-sponsored post and I paid for this Kate Bag Mini myself.
