Fashion Review | Charmed I'm Sure Boutique
Written by: Katherine Brodsky



MODA MAG.COM -- An old-fashioned gal myself, the premise of a  handmade cigar-box purse held some appeal, so I decided to check out the sure-to-be charming collection over at the Charmed I'm Sure Boutique.

What I found was an extensive selection of images to suit any occasion, including a large number of images of my all time favorite, Audrey Hepburn. You can't get any more classy than that! However, what caught my eye was the assertion that a purse may be customized with an image of your choosing. So I've decided to check this out for myself and requested that a trademark image of my own be used. Shawn Lively, the designer and founder of "Charmed I'm Sure," followed my instructions. 

The results illustrated outstanding craftsmanship. My trademark image graced a gorgeous, coated wooden box, was embellished with tiny sparkling jewels all at the right spots, and the handle was decorated by handblown vintage glass beads. Everything about the cigar-box echoed: Class. Even the interior proved to be as lavish as the exterior, set-up with a velvety fabric. 

One word of caution though: Make sure that the image used is of superior quality. Mine was probably not of the appropriate resolution to grace such a box, so double check before ordering to ensure that your image will come out crisp.

The designs are slightly pricey, running at $110 for regular designs and an extra $25 for custom made purses, however they are crafted to last and are made from very fine materials. This makes a perfect gift for that special someone with whom you've shared many fond memories.
