Bolzano Purse and Accessories Club December 2018 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!

Barcelona Crossbody in Black – Retail Value $88

I normally prefer big bags, but with upcoming holiday parties and travels I reached out and asked if it was possible to change my style up a bit. I wanted something small with a long strap and a classic silhouette, and I think Bolzano delivered perfectly! This clutch has a removable crossbody chain strap that is made of three smaller chains in silver, antique gold, and rose gold, meaning this should match with almost anything. The material is cowhide leather and it is so soft- I can really tell this is a quality piece. This clutch isn’t very big at 9” x 6.5”, but it is perfect for my holiday needs. Make sure to reach out to Bolzano customer service if you want to change up your style - they even take requests!

Bolzano Scarf in Black – Retail Value $52

This is a basic black scarf that is surprisingly warm- I have been reaching for it due to the fact that black matches everything and I am able to cuddle up in it. It has a double layer of fabric, one a more sheer layer and the other a knit, and the contrasting textures are what makes this so warm without being bulky!

Tri-Tone Jewelry Set

I couldn’t find this jewelry set on the website, which is a shame because I absolutely adore this set! It features three thin bracelets in silver, antique gold, and rose gold that can be layered for a beautiful delicate look or worn on their own for a baby hint of sparkle. I love that the tri-tone matches the chain for the crossbody, and the studs are simple and classic.

Bonus Holiday Gift: Heel Bows

So, I am an unsophisticated heathen and thought these were hair bows- until one was stuck in my hair and I was scared I was going to need scissors to rescue the situation. These cute clip-ons can add some bling to your holiday attire, and I have the perfect pair of black flats for these babies!

The Verdict: I adore my Bolzano subscription! For $33.95 I received a cowhide leather crossbody, a scarf, and a jewelry set, and I don’t think it is possible to find a better quality for a better price. The value of the purse and the scarf alone is $140, and the jewelry set surely adds to that. If you are looking to up your accessory game on a budget I strongly recommend checking out Bolzano!

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. If you have your heart set on a particular piece, reach out to customer service and see if they can help!

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 purse, scarf, and jewelry set - 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.

You mention add-ons in your review but I do not see an option for that. Nor clear instructions for their rewards program via their website? I would gladly add on additional items if their website was updated to make sense of things.

I have been signed up since BF and love my two purse picks so far. Their website only has record of the first month and states the order is still processing. No tracking info via email for either order. If you can reach out to the company and ask them about these things. I would appreciate it greatly. I get crickets when I email.

This all being said, the bags are divine for the price. Their accessories are on the mark for my taste. I highly recommend this company. They just need a more user friendly website. 🙂

I got this bag 2 months ago, my accessory was a necklace to match the bag. Waiting for my Dec and hoping it is better than Nov.

One of my favorite purses ever was a plaid cloth bag, very sturdy and stiff, i.e. held its shape, and it had a gold chain. I bought it from The Limited over 20 years ago. I still use it for holiday parties, it is a red plaid, and the chain sparkles softly in a way that adds some classy bling to the purse.

Yes, chains are not as functional for an every day purse, but they work great for special occasions.

Jessica, I think you got a beautiful box. I too am happy that the purse is leather.

This purse would go perfectly with the underappreciated PopSugar Luv AJ bracelet.

I am so happy with this sub. My December bag was the berry lovely mini croc in red. So cute and I love The size. My extras were a key chain/purse bobble with my initial and a snowflake necklace and earring set in gold. I also was sent the shoe bows. My purse value was $140 and it is lambskin.

I got this cross-body purse in a goldish-mustard. Cross-body bags aren’t my thing, so if I have it on my swap list in case anyone is interested in it. I’ve got photos of my bag on the listing.

I absolutely love this subscription. Got a tiny purse once which was definitely not my style, but was still well made and felt high quality. I probably have more than enough purses by now but love them too much to cancel. I also appreciate how many different styles they offer. A+

I really hope I don’t get this purse. Chains do not equal purse straps!!!

I like the chains, it makes the purse not look so plain and boring.

I really don’t like chains either. I just don’t like how it feels. I got a reallllly pretty purse in my FFF Style box a few months ago, but it has a chain…. so it will be gifted.

I’m also having a hard time figuring out how to double up the “strap”. Do you start by wrapping it under the purse flap?

I’ve been wondering the same thing about doubling the chains.

The chains look dressy but only for an evening clutch like this one. I wouldn’t use it for a big bag.

I think the front is leather and back is satin.

Yes Leather!!! I’m so tired of “vegan leather”. But I agree with the other comments…chains are not straps. They’re heavy and not functional.
