The Purse Paparazzi Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch – Review

There’s nothing better than a custom handbag.  It’s the one item in your wardrobe that speaks volumes about your personality and style.  Local accessories designer, Quinn Conyers (and brand owner) has helped us out in this area!

The Purse Paparazzi provides a variety of handbag styles to fit all areas of your life.  Whether you’re searching for a clutch or tote, this brand gives high quality purses for a reasonable price.  The company’s headquarters is in Baltimore, Maryland but customers outside of the area can shop online.

If you want to have a more personal experience, fashion girls can also host a Purse Party or Handbag Happy Hour.  Visit the link and contact Quinn for more details: http://thepursepaparazzi.com/pages/about-us

Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch Review:

I received the Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch from the company.  I was excited to open the package because I am a proud member of my sorority.  Most importantly, how many times are we (sorority girls) wanting to represent our organization by wearing the perfect accessory?  This clutch can achieve all of that and more.

Number one, this is a large clutch in terms of length, height, and width.  That means it’s perfect to hold your cellphone, sunglasses, lipstick, and wallet.  Number two, the Alpha Clutch is made with a very durable material. There’s no way for this handbag to loose its form because there’s a white magnetic snap closure and silver – tone hardware.  Number three, the design on the clutch truly embodies my sorority from the authentic colors and wording.  The inside of the purse has a satin lining; and there’s a detachable shoulder strap.

DSC_0007 DSC_0009 DSC_0017 DSC_0021 DSC_0023

I would encourage wearing the Custom Magazine Clutch for chapter activities or a “sisters” night out.  This handbag can be paired with jeans, a blazer, jumpsuit, or daytime dress.  The possibilities for wearing this purse are endless because of its unique quality and style.

Most importantly, visit the website to purchase your own Custom Magazine Clutch and don’t forget to wear your pearls!
