My Photo shoot With Zansus Purses

In November, I posted an interview with Naz Saeed and Sushanta Bhandarkar, the Bay Area duo behind eco-chic bag line, Zansus Purses. Zansus intercepts high quality fabrics sourced from drapery, upholstery and other design shops, which would otherwise be destined for landfills, and uses them to create clutches, totes and wristlets that are as stylish as they are good for the environment.
Last month I had the pleasure of modeling bags from Zansus’ 2011 collection, and I must say, if you think they’re gorgeous via photos, just wait till you get your hands on one. Each bag is hand crafted with an impeccable attention to detail, from texturally luscious materials. Once you pick one up, you won’t want to walk away with out it. Case and point: I bought a clutch at the end of my shoot!
This is not the bag I purchased day-of, however my honey had purchased this Zansus clutch as a late anniversary gift… he did a good job ;^)
One of the best things about Zansus clutchesis that there’s a style for everyone, for any occasion. Take, for example, the black and white Zansus pursangle featured above. It’s perfectly cute–and perfectly convenient!– for a cocktail party, or an informal dinner meeting.
Or how about this spicy red clutch? It’s got a sexy punch, which translates perfectly for a date, or a girls night out, but makes for a brilliant daytime accessory.
One of my personal favorites is this bold beauty. The design and personality of this clutch will accentuate and elevate your look, whether you’re going for a mid-morning brunch, a social lunch, or an informal evening affair.
Hopefully you’ll be inspired by some of the pictures, and will come up with ways you can rock your own Zansus bag! Ready to pick one up? You can order online at ZansusPurses.com, or find select pieces in these Bay Area boutiques:
