Stylish with Substance

This post is part of our week-long Holiday Gifts series. Read post 1: Coach Demis on eBay.

Who ever heard of a jewelry roll? Well luxe brand, Banana Republic, has made just that---this "Jewelry Roll" is for storing jewelry. The clutch-like piece of fabric unwraps to reveal three wide pockets lined in silk for storage. With its red velvet exterior and beautiful satin bow, I say this item could even be used as a handbag for holiday events!

Measuring 7 ½" x 4" and at only $38, that's not a bad choice.

So luxe and drool-worthy from Banana Republic is this Tangiers Macramé Shoulder Bag. I couldn't describe it better than, "interwoven loops add extreme texture," because this bag practically leaves me speechless. I can't get over the fine-crafted detail, and it's even more stunning in person, with completely unique, spiky weaves. What a treasure. Even the strap is gorgeous, in braided leather. Who knew something so divinely designed could come from macramé (made from 100% cotton!), and even Banana Republic? Who needs expensive designer leather bags, and who really needs the cheaper straw? With a bag this fine, what I truly can't believe is the price: only $148!

I could fall over right now.

In "chalk" (off-white) at Banana Republic.com and still in stores is the brown, which is more subtle and sensible. (I don't think this one will last 'til the sales!)
