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.

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. 

LIMITED TIME DEAL: Now through 12/15, use coupon code MSA15 to save 15% off your first box! Plus, get free engraving on your first order!

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!

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

I was really excited about this sub after seeing all the beautiful bags people on Youtube were getting… I was disappointed with my first month. However, what is more disappointing is that I wrote a REAL review- I said what I loved about my box & what I disliked- and gave 3 stars out of 5… but they will not approve my review to get posted on their site! (I’m a business owner with a website and am very familiar with the review process- you can choose to not allow any review you don’t like. It’s meant to weed out fake reviews or those with swear words, etc. It’s NOT meant to make your brand look like a 100% 5-star brand). Anyway, here it is. I hope it’s helpful.

“This is a hard review because there were things I was happy with, and things I was not. I found this subscription from Youtube videos & was really REALLY excited because they were getting some AMAZING handbags! This was my first month, and shipping was lightning fast! A+ on quick shipping. It arrived in a dust bag with was great- thank you! The fabric beaded bracelet was ok- I might wear it once or twice when the mood hits. The scarf (I got the navy/cream paris style) is my absolute FAVORITE item I received! It’s soft, the print is gorgeous & so unique… I love it so much! Now, the bag- I received the Carlotta in black. In all honesty, it is probably my very last choice of all the Bolzano bags. What drew me to this subscription were the details… the lock & keys, the B zipper pulls & tags, the colors, the genuine leather, the metal “feet on the bag bottom, the unique shapes of the bags. The Carlotta has none of these things- it’s not leather, has not a single detail or hang tag or anything except for a stamped Bolzano on the top front. If they had sent the same bag in one of the other colors, I would have felt a little less disappointed, but it just seems like I could find this bag at Target. (I love Target, I’m just saying there’s nothing unique or high quality with this bag). So, I’m happy with the fast service, the pretty scarf, and not so happy with the bracelet & bag… I know you can’t please every person every time, so I will definitely do another month in hopes I get something good next time!”

Last month I was not offered add-on items. 🙁 Can you tell me how I may add items to my monthly sub? Also curious how My Rewards works?

This is their Statement If I would of been sent this bag I would of
1 wrote a bad review that they are sending Vegan leather doing a Bait and Switch on their customers I believe You are being way too kind to this company. JMO Bait and Switch is illegal in The USA not sure if this company ships and is based In USA or not.
2.If this is the new norm for this company I think Quality is not as grand
I would ask for a replacement also for what their company advertises
Of all the subs I really wanted this sub and have been watching it and this makes me sad

This was my fift or sixth bag and now the “not for me bags” outnumber the I love it and/or use it often ones. Also those that I do use and love are actual LEATHER which I have not received for the last four bags. I knowit;s not a guarantee of real leather but it’d be nice to get one here and there. The first bag sucked me in lol. I’m gonna give it ONE more month ( I said this last month too lol) and see what i get. I hate to be the customer that emails and makes special requests but I may just try it one time and see how it goes for me.

I have a beautiful Bolzano vegan leather purse I just put up on swaps, it’s a deep cranberry / wine but it’s not the type of bag I can carry so it’s on the swap side. I wish my body was more versatile on stlyes it can pull off cause it’s actually a really nice bag.

I prefer their leather bags. I am not a fan of how vegan leather looks or holds up.

I just went to sign up for the black Friday deal and found you can also get a free product, just search for product number 1158 and add it to your cart. The code msa15 still works with the free gift.

I received the same bag in brown in October and love it! It holds everything but doesn’t feel huge. It’s my 5th purse from Bolzano and so far my favorite.

I am confused. I thought this was a leather bag subscription box. I mean the “real” stuff. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for that info! I would guess then for December I would be getting vegan leather again so I’m out. Too bad too cause I absolutely adored my first two real leather bags! But for that price nope, not me. lol

Jessica Hapak

Hi Jody!
Some months are vegan leather, other months you will receive cowhide leather.
