IL Bisonte Envelope

IL Bisonte is an Italian brand of bags and leather goods made by Wanny Di Filippo, the founder and designer of Il Bisonte. He's the eclectic soul of the brand, curious, imaginative and open-minded and apparently a passionate collector of bison.

This supple cow hide envelope has a retractible shoulder strap made from a simple and knotted piece of tanned leather.  The addition of the strap makes the envelope even more versatile and it can be filled with all the necessities a girl could want.

In the words of Il Bisonte's founder, Wanny Di Filippo, “I've been conquered by the image of peace and strength conveyed by the bison, who for centuries has been a source of life and continuity for all those peoples who lived free in the American land.  For this reason they are the symbol with which I continue to mark all my products with great pleasure".

Below are a few of the items I poured into my little envelope today before class.  My Chanel No 5 refillable perfume (love it, love it, love it!!!), my vintage Estée Lauder™"The Attitude Compact" with Lucidity powder insert. This little compact is like a large mood ring that you hold it in your hand and it changes color depending on your mood. I also chose my Estee Lauder in Tender Blush in Nude Rose #211 because it is perfect for day use and my Aveda Uruku Cheek-Lip Creme in Solara #91. 

Chimes Candy, Crystals and Chanel No 5

Below is my Antique Cameo.  I adore her.  She is made from hand carved shell with a harp at her breast.  It's a large piece clad in a sterling silver bezel.  When I'm feeling classic, I like to put her on my collar, with my hair up in a chignon and channel Jane Austin.

And because it's a class day I take in my energy drink of choice, Kombucha!!  Wonder Drink Kombucha is my favourite brand because the Asian Pear & Ginger is to die for.  It's so good and serves as an instant pick-me-up.
