Affordable thrills can be very addictive, right?  Well, I’ve discovered a new brand that will surely kickstart your shopping frenzy. 

If you are into accessories from luxury brands like Gucci, YSL, Ferragamo, Fendi, Dior and Balenciaga, then you’ll surely love Vita Fede. This US accessory brand is known for employing the same skilled artisans who supply to the premiere fashion houses mentioned above, with greatly affordable price points.  Each piece is handmade in Italy, using real Italian leather and plated in 24K gold with sterling silver hardware.  So you are assured of owning accessories that have passed the highest standards and tastes.

Their “snap-and-wrap” leather bracelets are the firsts to make their way to the wrists of Hollywood celebrities, with Emmy Rossum, Halle Berry, Hilary Duff, Jessica Alba and Miley Cyrus being photographed wearing them. What I like most about these is that you can pile them on without going overboard.  You can even snap two sets of these and turn them into a belt or a necklace. The possibilities are endless, as you can mix and match them to suit your style and personality.

Other items you should check out are their leather bangles, and wide leather cuffs with chain/stud details. Their Lagina bracelet has textured studs that are reminiscent of the updated Balenciaga motorcycle bag, while the Bambu bangle has bamboo accents that are very much Gucci in style.  There are more styles that are very designer-inspired, so they’re definitely worth checking out.  Prices range from P2,250 to P9,750.

Vita Fede now has statement cocktail rings and chain necklaces to complement their star products. As an added treat to this already exciting find, selected styles are being offered at special prices, just for this month!  Buy two or more pieces and get discounts at the following branches:  Culte Femme at Rustan’s Makati, Luca at Shangri-la Plaza and Eastwood malls, and MIX in Greenbelt 5. Selected pieces are also being sold at Chocolate schu bar in Power Plant Mall.
