Miss Bohemia's New Jane Austen Collection - with purse review and a giveaway!


Today I welcome the lovely Jen of Miss Bohemia to my blog! She has a lovely shop on Etsy which I visit often! I was so lucky as to be sent a lovely purse to review, and there is a giveaway of one of these lovely purses as well (details below!). Jen is also going to tell us about her new Jane Austen collection in her shop!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

First of all I would like to say thank you to Sophie for this blog feature and also for sharing some of my new Miss Bohemia jewellery and accessories with you today!  As this lovely blog relates to all things ‘Jane Austen’, the designs featured today are from my new Jane Austen range. 

I am an avid reader (of many genre’s) including literary classics and count Austen’s novels amongst my very favourites, and they are indeed the inspiration behind these latest designs.  This collection has a pretty pink theme with vintage styled damask designs, teamed up with elegant frames capturing quotes, Austen’s silhouette and much more!


http://www.missbohemia.com/ourshop/prod_3498616-Jane-Austen-Pink-Damask-Literary-Purse-Wallet-Real-Comfort-Quote.html


The first designs featured are the new ‘pretty and practical’ Jane Austen purses.  They are currently available in pink or black and if you would like chance to win one of these purses be sure to check out Sophie’s review and the details at the end of this post.

 
http://www.missbohemia.com/ourshop/cat_860293-Jane-Austen-collection.html
The new range comprises of jewellery (key ring and cuff bracelet), iPad and iPhone book styled cases, cute coasters, pocket mirrors and a double-sided mug design. The quote most featured on these designs is a favourite (amongst many of my favourite Austen quotes) 'There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort'!  Several of my other favourites including Darcy’s proposal and excerpts from Captain Wentworth’s letter can be found on other designs at www.missbohemia.com too.

Sophie has kindly agreed to review the pink version of the Jane Austen purse and host a giveaway so one of you lucky readers can own one too!  Before I go I would like to say thanks again to Sophie and also thank you readers too! I hope you enjoyed hearing about my new collection and good luck with the giveaway.

Best wishes

Jen (Miss Bohemia)

To learn more about her collection visit her various websites...

 
Jen is very kindly, in addition to the giveaway, adding a discount code for all my readers - just enter ‘Lizzie10’ for 10% off everything at Miss Bohemia. This code is valid until a week after the giveaway ends. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 

I love this purse! The choice of quote is brilliant, and with the pattern and design it makes for a really elegant and pretty purse! The quality is top notch! It is a good purse which seems sturdy and well made, and it is a great size, with lots of pockets for the different things you need in a purse; your coins, cards, notes etc. There is a strong magnetic fastening as well which I always like to have on a purse. The pattern itself has been added to the purse extremely well and it looks like it was made that way - the texture of the pattern also feels very good, as in it doesn't feel cheap or tacky in any way. It really is a very high quality purse with a beautiful design. Perfect for any Jane Austen fan! (This purse is also available in black, as you can see in the picture above.)

 











 ** GIVEAWAY - ends Tuesday 21st October**

The lovely Jen has provided me a giveaway!  One lucky winner will receive one of these beautiful purses. This giveaway is open internationally. 

To enter, leave a comment with a link to your favourite design from Jen's website (here) and the winner will be picked randomly.

Please leave your email address and whether you would prefer the black or pink purse. If you are the lucky winner, I will pass on your email to Jen who will be in touch.



Thanks again to Jen for stopping by and telling us about her new collection! Good luck with the giveaway!


Your affectionate friend,

    I'd almost finished typing my comment when my iPad screen went black and all the words disappeared into cyberspace. Grrrrrr!

    It's a nice change to see a review on an Austen related item that isn't a book, Sophie. I'd love to be entered into the draw for a black purse, please. I don't do pink! There are so many lovely things on Jen's website that it's hard to choose a favourite but if I had to REALLY choose, it would be this:

    Mind you, the scarves with the Darcy or Wentworth quotes are close in the running, too.

      I thought it would be a lovely change and was very happy to accept when Jen suggested reviewing this on here - there are some more coming in the next few weeks so keep your eyes open! I love those scarves too! Good luck!

    I love the mug and coaster. I think the black purse would go with anything I might wear. Thank you for this review and a chance to win.
