Mary Frances Beaded Handbags: Sparkle this Valentine’s Day!

Mary Frances Beaded Handbags: Sparkle this Valentine’s Day! Queen of Hearts designValentine’s Day is fast approaching and it is truly one day of the year where you can go for broke and glam it up. Sequined dress? Why not! Gold heels? Yes! Maximalist chandelier earrings? Absolutely! Of course, one item that is always on my own wish list (Valentine’s Day or any day) is a beautiful new beaded evening bag.

Personally, I have always attracted to sparkly things, from faceted cut crystal bowls and vases, to gem-encrusted trinket boxes. But most notoriously, I have a passion for beaded handbags. I’m not sure where this borderline obsession originated, but suffice it to say, I am something of a magpie!

I’ve long been a worshipper of legendary Judith Leiber beaded bags, but at $3,000 and up, they are simply not in the budget. So, to feed my habit (addiction?), I discovered over-the-top Mary Frances handbags and have been a devotee ever since. A lovely beaded handbag from Mary Frances is much more modestly priced – starting under $100.

Queen of Hearts

For example, the “Queen of Hearts” beaded crossbody phone bag (pictured above) is simply a little gem. A stunning playing card design is oh-so-appropriate for Valentine’s Day, when after all, you are the Queen of their heart, right? The crossbody strap has a 24” drop for hands-free ease, switch to the bottom D ring for a vertical or horizontal carry, or remove the strap entirely. Amazon Prime Retail $74.80

I also adore the “Shake It Up” crossbody handbag (shown), which is more than a little bit sweet for February 14th! Intricate handcrafted beadwork is the hallmark of Mary Frances’ designs and the details of the beautiful swirling milkshake, topped with a quirky strawberry don’t disappoint. Amazon Prime Retail $82.10

On Ice

Finally, no Valentine’s Day would be complete without champagne… or at least this whimsical “On Ice” hinged champagne bucket evening bag (pictured). Shimmering beads add glamour to any ensemble. The cute top-handle design looks elegant dangling from the wrist, plus the rose gold champagne bottle with pink floral accents are simply charming. Amazon Prime Retail $312.95

Apparently, I am not the only one in love with these bags. Mary Frances designs can be seen on the arms of many fashionable celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Teri Hatcher, Kate Hudson, and even Jennifer Aniston.

If you’ve got a special evening planned this Valentine’s Day, a beaded bag from Mary Frances just might make the perfect finishing touch!
