Bolzano Purse and Accessories Club Fall/Winter Preview Review
After signing up I was sent a questionnaire that asked me about the colors and patterns I prefer, styles and purse shapes that I liked, and any other information I would like the Bolzano team to know.
Grazia Black – Retail Value $118
This bag does not currently offer a member’s discount, meaning the only way to get it without paying full-price is by getting it in your monthly box. It is vegan leather and measures 14” x 10.5” x 4.5.” It features a zipper closure and really the only adornments are the stitching where the handles attach. Sometimes what you need is just a simple black purse, and this one fits the bill perfectly. I love the space this bag has to offer, and that makes it really versatile. Also, shout out to my friend (who is also named Jessica) for modeling - I know that is something readers have been asking for! For reference, she is 5’4.”
Vaticano Night Pendant with Matching Earrings – Retail Value $46, Member’s Price $32 for the necklace.
I am so in love with the sparkle this jewelry set packs- it is perfect for the holidays (or any time you're feeling fancy). The pendant is set on a 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender, and the earrings feature a halo set stone surrounded by smaller stones. All of the jewelry is nickel-free and plated with white gold, and I am absolutely in love with this set.
Here I am wearing the set.
Bolzano also currently offers add-ons to your subscription that you can use to grab additional items at the members-only discount. The items come packaged in a separate box, ready for gifting as a set.
Or you can break up the items, as each one comes in its own packaging.
Diva Money Clip in Red – Retail Price $35, Member’s Price $12
I needed a new small wallet that could hold just the necessities when the need arose, so I was drawn to this money clip. It has two slots for cards on one side, the money clip on the other, and a small zippered compartment in the middle. This fits my needs perfectly, and you could not find a better quality piece at the member price you would pay.
Ti Amo Bracelet – Retail Price $78, Member’s Price $55
I thought a sparkly bracelet would be perfect for the upcoming holidays, so this bracelet was my other pick. It is nickel-free and plated with 18-karat gold, and the shine on the genuine Swarovski crystals are absolutely stunning. While I am not a jewelry connoisseur, if you told me these were real diamonds I would believe you (assuming I didn’t know the price, because I know you couldn’t get a bracelet like this with real diamonds for $55). The latch was a bit interesting- I have never quite seen a closure like this one. You insert one end into the other and then close the loops over the balls on the side. To remove you push the two sides together and flick the loops back over, and then you can pull the ends apart. It is too tricky for me to do one-handed, but I don’t think there is any nice bracelet out there I could put on with only one hand.
Here is the bracelet on. Please excuse Duchess, who refused to not be in this photo.
The Verdict: I genuinely do not know how Bolzano continues to offer such an amazing value, month after month. For $33.95 I received a purse and necklace valued at $164, and that doesn’t even include the value of the earrings! It is amazing to me that I got white-gold plated jewelry with genuine Swarovski crystals in this subscription, but I definitely am not complaining. The add-ons feature is also a great way to stock up Christmas presents and stocking stuffers this year- and you don't have to worry about the receiver already owning the item since Bolzano is relatively new to the US.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? You can definitely still sign up, but what bag and accessories you get depends on what you enter into your style profile and what the stylists pick for you.

Value Breakdown: The purse and accessories subscription from Bolzano costs $33.95 per month including free shipping. That is like paying $11.31 each for the necklace, the earrings, and the purse- what a deal!
