I have a very special treat for you all today. I was contacted by Lydali a couple weeks ago to see if we could pair up together and create some magic. I decided to take a browse through their shop. Not only did I begin to discover their beautiful products, but I learned about the way they work with special artisans throughout the world. Then, I knew we were a perfect match.
“Lydali is a collection of products inspired by the beauty we find in remote areas of the globe. The talent of individual craftsmen in Costa Rica. The vibrant hustle and bustle of a busy marketplace in Nairobi. The sounds of a loom as a woman in Indonesia works with great care on handwoven goods.”
I picked to style the vibrant zig zag clutch for you here on Pinegate Road today and show you just how I plan on using mine. I’m in love with the graphic pattern of the bag, and that pop of neon on the tassle and the yellow contrasting zipper is exactly my taste. To know they were crafted with such care is just the cherry on top.
Lucky for you, Lydali was gracious enough to send a second zig zag clutch for one of you to win! All you have to do is comment below telling us how you would plan to use your Lydali clutch. For two more entries, you can go to Facebook and like both Pinegate Road and Lydali. Please, comment separately for each entry! The giveaway will close at midnight on Friday, September 21st and a winner will be announced the following Monday. Best of luck to all those who enter!
Big thank you’s to Lydali for sponsoring this giveaway, I can’t wait to take the clutch on so many adventures.
Kelsey-, first I must say you did a fabulous job of ‘merchandising’ this giveaway, everything about this post is aces! I especially like the contrast of your hand drawn elements with your elegant font choice. Very well done!

Kelsey, I love this! I missed out on your last giveaway so I made sure to enter into this one immediately (x3!) I plan to use it for all of my necessities that I carry with me on a daily basis when I go anywhere and everywhere. That way I can even sometimes leave my ginormous purse at home on outings!

Thank you so much for 1. stopping by and 2. saying such kind things! Coming from you that really means a lot :) Thank you also for the book recommendation, I’m all over that!
Comment by Kelsey — September 17, 2012 @ 11:18 AM
I’d definitely take it out on the town! And/or use it as a catch-all in my larger carry-on luggage when travelling; it’s perfect for essentials – deodorant, toothbrush, lipstick…!
Comment by Katie — September 17, 2012 @ 1:15 PM
I love this clutch!! I plan on using it as my staple piece on a daily basis only with my purse to carry all my necessary beauty and accessories. I would love to show it off at work to all my coworkers!
Comment by clarisse mello — September 17, 2012 @ 1:33 PM
Fantastic post! This would be perfect for my wedding rehearsal dinner in a few months – it would look great with my color scheme of black, ivory and gold!
Comment by Maggie Ryan — September 17, 2012 @ 1:59 PM

Comment by Katie — September 17, 2012 @ 3:43 PM
Ohhh love this! I’d use it for a casual shopping day and then take it out for a girls night out! It works in both occasions! Ps- I unliked pinegate road on fb to relike it :) along with liking Lydali!
Comment by Gianna — September 17, 2012 @ 3:48 PM
I love the zig zags!!! I would use it to out instead of lugging around my big leather satchel! I would use it for my tums breath mints and anti diareahl in case I ingest gluten on accident! I’d also use it for my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and my Nars bronzer!!
Comment by Meg — September 17, 2012 @ 4:52 PM
MEGAN! You’re ridiculous. hahahaha.
Comment by Kelsey — September 17, 2012 @ 4:53 PM
I would definitely use this out and about in the city – seems like the perfect size for an afternoon wandering around
Comment by Britt — September 17, 2012 @ 5:38 PM
I would love this clutch! So many times I have to sacrifice what i can bring out – phone, camera, money/cards, makeup.. but this clutch looks like I could fit it all! Patterns are so in right now so it would be the perfect accessory to any outfit. I want to win!

Kelsey! So glad I found your blog. It’s absolutely wonderful.
I’m about to go on probably my biggest adventure so far — moving to Boulder. This clutch would be perfect on my first date back with my fella or just out exploring the town.
Comment by Sarah Mosseller — September 17, 2012 @ 8:31 PM
I would use it as a lovely catch all for my giant tote I carry to work everyday. It’d be great to hold all the essentials so I can just run into a store or out to eat without lugging my big bag everywhere. :)

A beautiful and convincing post! I’m not much of a bag person, BUT every once in a while I find something truly fantastic to add to my wardrobe. I would carry this clutch around my new city, Pittsburgh, as I get to know it’s shops and restaurants. Phone, wallet, lipstick, done. And of course bf’s sunglasses ;)
Comment by Melanie — September 20, 2012 @ 1:14 PM
Your photos look amazing Kelsey! I use an across the chest purse for everyday but this clutch would be perfect for fancy nights out!

Kelsey,
I love looking at your beautiful photos. A bag like this would be perfect for carrying around my little stitching projects and sketchbook that don’t fit in the tiny purse I use for my phone/credit cards.
Comment by Magenna — September 21, 2012 @ 1:58 PM
this is so stinkin cute. neutrals + neon, chevron + tassels, SO MANY of my faves!
i’d use this clutch for all of the above! nights out, storing art supplies, AND my everyday necessities.
going to check out the store now!

I would use may bag for cosmetics and even as a clutch for last minute grabs. The stripes are brilliantly crafted on this bag and make for a really stylish look. PS Kelsey great ads!

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBSESSED with this clutch. You know me and my patterns mixing! I’d put on my favorite cheetah top and carry this little guy with me to the nearest flea market for a day of browsing and maybe buying :))
P.S. your styling is the best!

I would take this clutch out with me to the bars so I won’t be using my vera bradley wristlet like a 15 year old girl.
