Felix Rey New York bling bag!

This is a "Felix Rey" New York handbag I found in a designer re-sale store that my mom's friend owns. She gave me a great deal on it, the price tag was still on it originaly marked $220! (wow!) The closest store to us is in California..(figures..). So i decided to go online and do a little research on it, here is the history below that I found out about the name and designers, it's a great story...check it out!

Felix Rey has established itself as a sophisticated and ultra-feminine luxury brand. The sensibility of the accessories line is a clear reflection of the personal styles of co-founders Lily Rafii Band and Sulaika Zarrouk.

So, who is Felix Rey? A Doctor! It was Doctor Felix Rey who tended to Vincent Van Gogh after he cut off a portion of his ear and was admitted to an asylum. The two men befriended each other and Van Gogh painted a portrait of the doctor in lieu of payment for his services. Felix Rey, meaning “Happy King”, is a pseudonym Lily and Sulaika chose to personify their brand after seeing this inspirational portrait.

Felix Rey products are sold worldwide and are regularly featured in WWD, InStyle and Lucky Magazines. A favorite among celebrities, Felix Rey has also been featured on Sex and the City.

Welcome to our new blog, for all things Bling!

The first review is of my fantastic Brown and Gold purse, from Kathy Van Zeeland.


First off, it is soooo much nicer in person! The gold just sparkles! Pros: Nice zipper pocket on the front for coins (or whatever), tons of room inside (great for hiding new purchases from unsuspecting DH, just kidding LOL), and more pockets inside for wallet, cell phone, or makeup. It also has a handy snap closure for easy access. Cons: The only thing I don't like about this purse is the large rings that attach the straps- they are a bit bulky, and they come off if you don't unscrew them with a glasses screwdriver and re-attach with super glue. Other than that, it is by far my favorite purse! 3.5 Blings
