Good Morning Beauties!!
It
is time for my second 'Review The Fabulous' post. I hope you got some
good ideas and advice from my last
one.
This time I will review CHAN LUU Wrap Bracelets.
I
was introduced to these beautiful bracelets around three years ago. And
was charmed the second I put my eyes on them. I knew I had to have one.
Well, by now I have more than just one. I didn't buy all by myself,
but got a lot of them as a present. It is the perfect gift to wish for
for a birthday, Christmas or Valentines Day, don't you agree?
The Facts:
Cord: Leather or Cotton Cord
Stones: Gold Plated Nuggets, Rose Gold Plated Nuggets, Silver Plated Nuggets, Swarovski Stones, Pearls and Semiprecious Stones
Lengths:
Mostly 5 wraps, depending on the size of your wrist
The Variations:
It is incredible how many different
colours, stone variations and styles Chan Luu is providing. I can't
possible name all of them. To get an idea of how many breath taking
wraps exist you probalby should check out the Chan Luu website (with an online shop). I enjoy looking at them and making imaginary shopping carts a lot.
I love that nearly all of them can be combined with each other. You can literally wrap your whole arms with
them. The more you combine the better
it looks. Apparently you can also wear them as a necklace. But to be honest I have
never tried it.
Chan Luu isn't only designing wrap bracelets but also other styles. But this post is dedicated to the wraps.
The Quality:
The leather is quite stiff but still flexible and perfect for its purpose.
The stones and nuggets are mostly stringed together between two leather
cords. In other variations they are braided within the cotton cords.
Out of all Chan Luu accessories I own I only had bad luck with two
of them. One I bought in New York 2 1/2 years ago and wore it
literally every day. One day the cotton thread ripped and now three
stones are missing. Luckily I still have the missing pearls and probably
can take off the others in order to string them back on the leather
cords.
The thing that happend to the
second one is that the leather just ripped after wearing it once. I
think the leather was just purous. I bought it at net-a-porter and
after telling them they apologized and took it back in an instant. They
checked the faulty goods and I got my money back. With all my others I
am more than satisfied. Like I mentioned before Chan Luu is using
leather and cotton breads and a variation of different stones. Leather
and cotton can rip – especially when a semiprecious stone is a little
sharp on the edges. The materials are all pretty natural and therefore
there is always a slight chance that they may break. But – depending on
where you bought it – you can ususally return it to get a refund or
another one. And like I said before all of my others are totally fine
and I for myself will continue to extend my collection.
My Verdict:
I
honestly and truly can say that I absolutley love the fabulous Chan
Luu wrap bracelets, as they are so pretty and combinable. It sounds as if
I was designing them myself – I wish I did! They are great with casual
and elegant outfits. The product range is amazing and
therefore perfect for (nearly) every age. They also sell
necklaces and bracelets for men.
While
writing this post I got so excited that I created a list of my favourite Chan Luu bracelets at ShopStyle. I for myself have to resist
as I have spent too much money lately and want to cut back a little. I
hope I will be able to resist (I mean they are just to pretty).
But I wish you all happy shopping or just happy looking at these precious
accessories.
I would love to hear what you experienced with Chan Luu wrap bracelets or which one you would love to have the most!!
Lots of love and thank you for reading!!
