Don't know about the black Harris Wharf London coat with the white Carla Zampatti set but it suits her very well. I'm crazy in love with the new Zampatti blouse and matching trousers! This clean white set makes her look so elegant and polished. I really like the simple detailing with the wide "belt".

I'm a huge fan of her slick hairstyle. What a talented hair stylist who created this masterpiece. Mary also embraced the perfect evening outfit with stunning diamond earrings owned by Anne of Orange. Her ivy diamond brooch is also inherited from Princess Caroline's jewellery box.

A closer look revealed a black leather clutch from Diane von Furstenberg and cap-toe pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Day 3. Official visit to Brazil

04 October 2024

Meeting with Brazil's President

In the morning, Queen Mary attended a meeting with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Presidential palace Palácio do Planalto. Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supplies Lars Aagaard accompanied her at the meeting.

Queen Mary and Minister Lars Aagaard will spend the next two days in Brasília.

Do you feel like we have seen this outfit before? You are right. Mary wore a similar outfit in 2016 when on a business promotion visit in the United States and in 2023 visiting India. The dress is truly beautiful. The simple silhouette and the elegant floral print. What is not to like? Love to see this dress again.

She even styled the Vilshenko beauty with the same custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings as in 2016 and 2023. These earrings comes with a number of different pendants. Rose Quartz, Amethyst, diamonds. We also get a glimpse of a magnificent Dulong Fine Jewelry ring and sweet Halberstadt necklace.

A closer look revealed that she also styled her look with a Max Mara leather handbag and matching dusty rose Gianvito Rossi sling-backs.

A school visit and a visit to Embrapa Cerrados

After her meeting the President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Queen Mary paid a visit to a public school in Brasília. She was, once again, accompanied by Lars Aagaard - Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply. They were given knowledge about the schools school food program.

The traveling partners then visited Embrapa Cerrados which is an agricultural research institute in the Cerrado of the savanna area. The Embrapa Cerrados work with  challenges and opportunities in relation to agriculture's impact on biodiversity and the environment in Brazil.

What a lovely outfit! I am pleased to see her wear that Stella Jean dress again. Always adored its silhouette and dusty blue colour. She made a wonderful choice with the braided Zimmermann belt. First worn at the Olympic Games in August. Works beautifully with a dress as well. Do you favor it worn with trousers or dress?

The brown Michel Vivien sandals were also a magnificent addition to her outfit! Later on, she changed to white Adidas sneakers. Like how it turned out both casual yet super chic. Perfect for a visit in Brazil in October. As jewellery, Mary was wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made ring. The fine Halberstadt necklace and Rebekka Notkin bracelet were the cherry on the ice cream.

We haven't seen her wear the Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses for quite a while - I'm thrilled. Thrilled to see other sunglasses then her blue Gucci shapes. Her hat is from Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton.

Mary. You look like a shining star. A true Queen in that Diane von Furstenberg halterneck and skirt. The colours are smashing to her fair skin and chestnut hair. It is indeed a blouse and skirt even though it looks like a dress. Even more because of the red crystal belt from Dolce & Gabbana. She has both worn clothes and belt before.

She embraced the outfit with exclusive Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, bracelet and ring. All three pieces are custom-made by the talented Danish jewellery designer. We also get a glimpse of a beloved Rebekka Notkin bangle featuring beautiful diamonds.

The brand new Reiss clutch made the look way more dinner-worthy. Such as the stunning golden Aquazzura heeled sandals also worn a couple of days earlier.

Opening of the Parliament 2023

03 October 2023

Every year on the first Tuesday in October, members of the Danish Parliament are gathered at Christiansborg to attend the opening of a new parliamentary year.

At this years opening, Queen Margrethe was accompanied by Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and her beloved sister Princess Benedikte. Together, all attended the opening in the grand Parliamentary Hall at Christiansborg in Copenhagen (here).

I am crazy in love with these annual events. Love to compare outfits year after year. I am stunned about her outfit this year. She is so classy and elegant in that bespoke Mark Kenly Domino Tan dress. Mary first wore it in 2018 on an official business promotion visit in Italy (here). Later worn in Paris in 2019 (here) and then again in 2021 (here).

At the opening, Mary had chosen to wear the magical dress with black accessories - belt, hat, gloves, clutch and shoes. Her hat is a Susanne Juul creation. Look at that design! Sight. The details are exquisite. Mary matched the hat with a leather fold-over clutch from Diane von Furstenberg and smashing Gianvito Rossi pointed pumps.

Everything is classic about this outfit, which is why I also why I adore her wearing white pearl earrings. These are from Annikat. A wonderful combo with her beloved Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces and Dulong Fine Jewelry pearl bracelet. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is the master behind one of her diamond rings.

Gala premiere of "Ehrengard"

06 September 2023

Queen Margrethe was accompanied by her daughter-in-law when attending the grand gala premiere of "Ehrengard" (here). A film that is directed after the famous Danish writer Karen Blixen's novelle from 1962.

The gala premiere took place close to the two royal ladies homes - Moltkes Palace in Copenhagen.

Queen Margrethe has contributed to the film by creating more than 70 decoupages. A personal hobby of hers. She has also worked along with Director Bille August in the creative process.

Mary was truly a sight for sore eyes when she attended the gala premiere of "Ehrengard" at Moltkes Palace in Copenhagen. She looked stunning next to her beautiful mother-in-law. I was also very impressed by Queen Margrethe's outfit.

Mary wore an old coral lace dress from Collette Dinnigan. Originally, it is floor-length. Like we saw when she first wore it in 2013 at the wedding of Prince Madeleine and Chris O'Neill (here). In 2022, she had the dress altered (here). Now it is a bit shorter. Which length do you prefer?

At the gala premiere, Mary embraced the style by wearing Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces, a golden Rebekka Notkin bangle, Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet and one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Look closer and you will see that she also wore a couple of diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The earrings are brand new. They have been identified as Rosing.

I was never really a huge fan of either clutch or shoes, but she really made it work with the Collette Dinnigan dress. The soft gold looks amazing with the bright coral pink.

Opening of "Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2023"

27 June 2023

For quite a few years, Crown Princess Mary has acted as patron of the Global Fashion Agenda. Among others, they work for a climate neutral fashion and textile industry in 2050.

With title as patron of the Global Fashion Agenda, she attended the grand opening of the "Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2023" (here).

The Crown Princess was accompanied by more than a thousand representatives from the global fashion industry, politicians, NGO's and experts at the summit. All gathered to discuss sustainable solutions and create alliances within the industry.

Crown Princess Mary gave the opening speech. She highlighted the importance of more sustainable solutions and how to reach the goal of a climate neutral fashion and textile industry in 2050.

The summit took place at DR Concert Hall in Copenhagen.

Seems like, Mary was not the only one who though a simple white blazer would be perfect for the grand opening. Photos shows that many of the attending women had chosen a similar outfit as Mary's. 

Mary matched a reused soft white vest and blazer from MaxMara. She first wore these two pieces with its matching trousers on an official visit in Sweden in 2017 (here). Since then, she has wore the suit on a number of different occasions, but also worn the blazer on its own. Like in 2019, when attending a celebration dinner related to Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2019 (here).

This year, Mary styled it with an old dotted Diane von Furstenberg skirt - first worn in 2019 at the presentation of the Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards (here).

Took me quite a few photos to realized that she was in fact wearing earrings. Fine floral-shaped earrings in brown enamel. She has worn them before (here). They have never been identified. Mary also dazzled wearing a few golden bracelets, but I need a close up to tell more.

As other accessories, Mary had chosen necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The matching MaxMara handbag and brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps were a wonderful choice. Even her Gucci tortoise-like glasses were spot on with the rest of her outfit!

The Maternity Foundation's Mother's Day event

05 May

As patron of the Maternity Foundation, Crown Princess Mary attended their Mother's Day event at Center for Ledelse in Copenhagen. 

The Maternity Foundation aim to secure women and infants life and health during pregnancy and childbirth in developing countries. The Danish foundation goes back to 2005. Crown Princess Mary has been patron since 2010.

She was warmly welcomed, when she arrived to Center for Ledelse in Copenhagen. Crown Princess Mary was about to attend an event focusing on the crossroads between women's health, technology and global development. The Crown Princess also gave a speech at the event (here).

Mary looked absolutely stunning at the Maternity Foundation's Mother's Day event. She wore an Elsa Adams skirt. I think it started as a dress. We saw it for the first time in 2019, when visiting Paris (here), but due to the construction, it could in fact be a matching skirt and blouse as well as a dress. Nevertheless, Mary wore it beautifully with a simple white button-down blouse. She was wearing the outfit with such elegance.

The first accessory I noticed was her diamond necklace. Mary first wore this magnificent necklace in 2005, when the couple visited Australia (here). I have never been able to find out who created it, but hopefully I will some day. The golden Cartier bracelet was a great addition such as the different rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and that white pearl ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Her simple white leather clutch is a Diane von Furstenberg design. Mary has the exact same clutch in black too (here). Personally, I like the white one a little more than the black version. The smashing pointed python pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

A visit from Cambridge

23 February

Something I know many of you have been waiting for with great excitement took place this Wednesday. The Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, paid a visit to Copenhagen. She was friendly welcomed by Queen Margrethe and Crown Princess Mary around noon with an official welcoming ceremony at Christian IX's Palace at Amalienborg. The three of them already had a lovely time, when meeting the journalists and photographers.

After the welcoming ceremony, the Duchess enjoyed lunch at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg with Crown Princess Mary as hostess. They surprised people at the Amalieborg Square, because they took the walk from Christian IX's Palace to Frederik VIII's Palace by foot. I guess the two of them had a great lunch with smalltalk and wonderful food.

Afterwards, the Duchess and the Crown Princess accompanied each other and visited Danner Crisis Center along with the Mary Foundation. The Duchess of Cambridge was introduced to the Mary Foundations program and projects for children at crisis centers. As part of the introductions, she was also getting to know about the Mary Foundations special backpacks. The contain "everything" a child would need arriving to a crisis center and are given to more than 2,000 children every year. These children often arrive to the centers without the most basic things like toothbrushes, school stuff, etc.

I was not disappointed, when I saw that Mary was wearing and copy-cat-outfit - if that is even a word, but it covers what she was wearing. Because the outfit was indeed reused. More than once, did Mary wear this lovely white tweed coat matched with a simple black dress. It looks so comfortable, right? Wish I had a coat like that. It goes way back and has even changed over time. Unfortunately, I have never been able to identify where it is from, but with the knowledge that she added it to her wardrobe early on, I guess it could be tailored. Much of clothes was back then. The black dress is also a mystery.

Mary accessorized her fine look with white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. These has to be her all-time favourite earrings of them all. The matching ring was added later, but is from the same talented creator. A close look reveal that she was also wearing an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond band along with her engagement ring.

The black leather clutch from Diane von Furstenberg was a beautiful addition to the rest of the outfit. Although, I would have loved a more colourfull bag or clutch. She stunned wearing black tights, Gianvito Rossy pointed pumps and a black scarf.

Repremiere of "The Snow Queen"

01 December

It is no secret that Queen Margrethe loves to be creative and it is no secret that she loves ballet. Over the years, she has been engaged in numerous ballets. Both in making costumes and scenography. The same happened with the famous "Snow Queen" - a classic Christmas ballet. It had its repremiere in Tivoli on December 1st.

Crown Princess Mary showed up at the premiere accompanied by Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine even though it was not part of her official calendar. Of course they all wanted to support their beloved mother-in-law and grandmother. Prince Felix also supported his grandmother with the premiere by showing up.

I am not sure I will ever been a huge fan of wearing boots with long skirts or dresses. For some years, Mary has done that. Usually, I fall in love with everything she wears and all combinations, but somehow not this one. Nevertheless, I like both boots and outfit.

She matched her new black heeled ankle boots with an old Oscar de la Renta dress. One we first thought was a blouse. It turned out to be completely wrong. I learned about this "little detail" from Heaven. Thanks for making be aware of this. It features some really beautiful details. Like the beaded neckline. She first wore the dress at the inauguration of a new panda plant in April 2019, here. The white JOSEPH coat is also a reuse first worn at a new year reception in 2020, here.

As accessories, Mary had chosen simple white pearl earrings. I think we have seen then before (here), but I have never been able to identify them. We also get a glimpse of her diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The black leather gloves and black Diane Von Furstenberg clutch are a lovely detail. Their beautiful umbrella's are TIVOLI's own design.

Presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp 2021

01 November

What a way to welcome November. It was as patron of the Julemærkefonden that Crown Princess Mary showed up at Copenhagen City Hall to participate the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp.

Every year, a new stamp is designed and sold to collect money to the Christmas Stamp homes in Denmark. Here children are given the chance to evolve, find confidence, learn why exercise and healthy food are good for both our mental and physical health.

It is illustrator Peter Bay Alexandersen, who created the lovely motive for this years Christmas Stamp. He titled them "Home for Christmas". Truly a dreamy design.

The Crown Princess was welcomed with smiles, a bouquet of flowers and lots of observant children in Copenhagen City Hall. Everyone wanted a glimpse of her at the annual presentation of the Christmas Stamp. The new stamp was later revealed by Crown Princess Mary and its creator Peter Bay Alexandersen.

Lately, we have seen Mary wear such colorful and bright outfits. That changed a bit at the presentation of the new Christmas Stamp. When she arrived to the City Hall in Copenhagen, she revealed not only this years stamp but also a simple black and white outfit.

The stunning white coat goes back to 2005. She first wore it at the inauguration of a new ontological center in April (here). Actually, she repeated her very first look at the presentation of the Christmas Stamp 2021. Black dress - white coat. Then in 2014, the coat was altered and today it features no collar anymore (here).

Mary embraced her fine look with lovely white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and an elegant Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond band. Amazing how simple a few pieces of jewellery can make an outfit even more beautiful.

Usually, my eyes catch one detail first. This time, my eyes spotted her little black clutch first. It looks so much like one of her old Diane von Furstenberg clutches (here). Time was no on my side, but luckily UFO No More had the same idea. They identified the clutch as Diane von Furstenberg. It matches perfectly the pointed black leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

The Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2019

01 September

As guest of honor, Crown Princess Mary attended the Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2019 and following dinner. The honoring took place at the legendary Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek - an art  museum build by Carlsbergs founder, Carl Jacobsen. He was a passioned collector of both antique and modern art. A magnificent place, here.

The Crown Princess was welcomed welcomed by, among others, Ane Halboe-Jørgensen. She is the new Minister of Education and Science. Later in the evening both women entered the stage and presented the two Carlsberg awards.

For quite a few year the Crown Princess has been a regular person on the guest list. I believe she first attended the event in 2013, here. Since then she has been invited to hand over two research awards to scientists who have contributed with decisively scientific research results. According to the Royal House the awards are given to both natural sciences- and a humanist/social science researcher. This year Crown Princess Mary handed over the awards to Thomas Kiørboe, Professor ogf Microscipic Life at Sea and Mikael Rask Madsen, Professor of European Law and integration. Congratulations to both of them!

Along with the honor both winners are given 250,000 Danish kroner as a personal rewards and furthermore 750,000 Danish kroner to their research.

What a night it was, when Mary attended the presentation of the Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The scene was set when she arrived in the most gorgeous outfit. We have seen this outfit before, but not at an official event. In July of 2018 the royal couple attended a friends wedding and here Mary showed up wearing almost exactly the same outfit at on Sunday September 1st. She matched a blouse and a maxi skirt to make it look like a dress. The two-piece are from Diane von Furstenberg. Think it is clever of her to wear it as a dress. Looks just lovely. What do you think of her "dress"?

She embraced the evening look with a Dolce & Gabanna belt featuring large red rhinestones. Somehow this combo works perfectly. If you think about it the colors are quite odd, but Mary rocked that combination of rusty orange and shiny red.

I am sure you noticed her huge and eye-catching earrings. So did I. She first wore them when visiting the European Council in Strasbourg in 2017, here. Later again at the friends wedding. They are a unique pair of Kharisma earrings made by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Can't imagine who expensive they are with all the gold, diamonds and precious stones. Incredible design. One of her bracelets is also from that jewellery designer. The other golden bangle is from Cartier.

Another golden accessory is her heeled sandals. Did you see them? Gosh they are stunning. These were also worn at the friends wedding last year. Now Elena managed to identify the sandals as Aquazzura, here. Note that the model is name Josephine as her youngest daughter. Coincidence? But and amazing finding. Suddenly I wish I had a pair of golden sandals in my wardrobe. To top off her look Mary wore a reused (yellow) clutch from Yves Saint Laurent. To me Mary looked like a true goddess - with hair and makeup and all. Outstanding.

Women Deliver 2019

This year the international conference Women Deliver takes place in Vancouver, Canada from June 3-5th. It was announced a month ago who would host the next conference. Like previous years, the Crown Princess is attending the conference which is world-leading on equality, girls and women's health, rights and well-being. This years conference focus on "Power. Progress. Change".

During the three days conference, more than 8,500 people are attending from over 150 different countries. Both experts, NGO's, politicians, organizations, etc. are gathered in Vancouver to discuss and share ideas about new strategies on how to make the world a better place for girls and women. Crown Princess Mary is one of them.

The Crown Princess acted patron for the event five years ago in 2016 when Copenhagen hosted the conference. Also in 2009 (Washington) and 2012 (Kuala Lumpur) was the Crown Princess invited to attend Women Deliver. She is also influencer for the Deliver for Good campagne launched three years ago.

●

03 June

On Monday it all started. Crown Princess Mary had arrived to Vancouver, Canada to attend this years Women Deliver Conference 2019. During the day she participated in a number of different events. From front raw the Crown Princess listened, questioned and was overall committed.

Among others, she attended the panel debate #ThePowerOfUs from which the pictures below were taken, here. Among the participants was 18 year old Natasha. She gave a strong impression on the Crown Princess. The young woman made it clear that young people do play an important role in creating a world with equal rights and possibilities for everbody. Listning to 18 year old Natasha made on impression on Crown Princess Mary, who mentioned the young woman in a quote on the royal family's social media platforms, here.

The Crown Princess also stated that it is really exciting to be in Vancouver to attend Women Deliver. She is impressed that more than 8,500 people are participating and that the atmosphere is all about energy and optimism.

Day one of the conference Mary wore two different outfits. The first I am aware of is her wearing black suit - fitted black trousers and a matching blazer. I cannot tell for sure if she has worn it before, because the lack of pictures. She probably did wear the suit on a previous occasion. The bright red blouse with the lovely print is one from Erdem. It has been seen before when participating a workshop on social norms with the Mary Foundation and other collaborators in March, here. It then looks like she embraced the style by wearing her reused Prada handbag and simple black pumps from Jimmy Choo. I imagine they are quite comfortable to wear all day because of the chunky heel. It is not the first time she took advantage of a large heeled pump. Mary actually wore this combo of shoes and bag when visiting Sorglinjen on May 29th, here.

Later, when she attended the opening of the Women Deliver 2019 Conference, she had changed her outfit. Now Mary was wearing a reused pleated midi skirt from Designers Remix. This skirts was first worn three years ago when she attended the UNGA in New York, here. At that time she matched the skirt with a simple black blouse, and this time in Vancouvers she had chosen a plain white pleated blouse from to match the skirt. Lovely and minimalistic. As earlier in the morning, she was still wearing a black blazer. I also noticed diamond earrings. Guess that she could also be wearing fine bracelets to match the rest of the outfit.

It had been a busy first day in Vancouver. The Crown Princess had been participating several events and panel debates. On the second day Crown Princess Mary, among others, participated EdTech Talk - The future of health worker training. Here she was given the change to know more about how hard a challenge it can be to safe a newborn baby's life. She even tried first-aid herself on a baby doll called NeoNatalie, here. EdTech is all about future learning. Who technology will be able to help to, among others, train and educate midwives in low and middle income countries the lifesaving treatment of mothers and newborns. The Crown Princess also gave a speech as part of the event , which was organized by Maternity Foundation, ICM (the global midwives organization), Laerdal Global Health and Microsoft.

I never participated a conference myself, but I imagine it takes a quite comfortable outfit because you are wearing it all day. Mary looked really comfortable in what she was wearing during the second day of the Women Deliver 2019 conference. She had chosen to wear a reused blue blouse from Victoria Beckham with what looks like a brand new black lace skirt. A good friend of mine suggested that her new skirt could be from Dolce & Gabbana, here. It is very likely because they often make similar skirts and dresses like the one Mary is wearing at the conference. Let me know what you think or if you have heard anything interesting I need to know about. She accessorized the outfit with earrings and a ring both from Pomellato, and three bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The fourth one looks a lot like her Cartier bangle. We also got a glimpse of her Prada handbag. I am not quite sure about the navy blue suede pumps. Are these old or new?

05 June

Two long days had passed and the Crown Princess was only able to stay in Vancouver, Canada for one more day. June 5th is a special day celebrated in Denmark. It is our Constitution Day. This day the Danes celebrated the Danish democracy. On that occasion Crown Princess Mary attended a morning event with other Danes now living in the Vancouver-area. Seems like everyone were having a great time chatting and having a cup of coffee.

With only very few pictures from the morning event it is a bit difficult to tell exactly what Mary was wearing at the event. Nevertheless I immediately recognized her printed dress. It is from Diane von Furstenberg. She first wore this dress back in 2018 during an official visit to Seattle in May, here. The navy blue coat is not new, though I first thought it was. Actually it goes back to around 2017 when she wore it at an event on occasion of the Mary Foundations 10th anniversary, here. The lovely blue coat is from Harris Wharf London. Think she is wearing matching blue pumps as well. We get a glimpse of white pearl earrings, which I believe is from Dulong Fine Jewelry and her Nadia Shelbaya necklace.

It has been three wonderful day, and I strongly believe the Crown Princess found this a very interesting and educational visit.

For more than fifteen years, the Crown Princess has handed over The Crown Princess Mary Scholarship to two Australian exchange students studying in Denmark. The Scholarship was a gift from University of Copenhagen to the Crown Prince Couple on behalf of their weeding back in 2004.

Around noon, Crown Princess Mary arrived to the university in Copenhagen. She was warmly welcomed with flowers, smiles and handshakes. Rector Henrik C. Wegener welcomed the Crown Princess along with a 5-year old flower girl.

She gave a wonderful speech before presenting this years receivers of the scholarship. It made everyone laugh also the receivers Lloyd John Peacock Duncan from Monash University and She Pui Ng from University of Queensland. Congratulations to both of them with the scholarship and DKK 10,000.

Every year, I am excited to see what Mary will wear this specific day. I do not know what I had in mind for her this year, but I was happily surprised to see her wear this reused Massimo Dutti suit. I have always been a fan of suits for women. It's edgy, classy and super cool. Mary really know how to wear one. She first wore the suit two years ago when visiting Japan on an official state visit, here. Back then she also matched it with a white blouse and Gianvito Rossi snake pumps. The white blouse worn on Monday is from Hugo Boss.

The beautiful earrings are created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Lately she has worn them quite a few times, such as with the necklace from Nadia Shelbaya. The two rings have been a mystery for me for quite some time now. I figured that the simple golden one is from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Maybe the white pearl ring is also from that talented designer? 

Some of you noticed her clutch as well. Mary first wore the clutch at the United Nations Genereal Assembly in New York back in 2017, here. I managed identity it as a Diane von Furstenberg design. The clutch is made of blush pink and creme leather with burgundy leather trim.
