SPLURGE vs. STEAL: Chan Luu vs. Cocobelle

December 14, 2011 by

If a wrap bracelet is not a staple in your wardrobe this year, we need to have a talk! Whether it’s rocker-chic with stud detail or a more casual bohemian vibe, the wrap bracelet is a 2012 must! In this edition of Splurge vs. Steal , we are comparing two very similar stylish wrap bracelets at two not-so-similar price tags!

 

Chan Luu wrap bracelets

Chan Luu's stunning vermeil wrap bracelets in white and black!

First up we have the famous Chan Luu Vermeil wrap bracelets! If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Chan Luu’s gorgeous wrap bracelets can be see on the wrist of almost every A-list celebrity! Inspired by nature, world cultures, travel and Chan’s incredible design aesthetics, she continues to create unique masterpieces one bracelet at a time! The vermeil wrap bracelet, available in both black and white, features an imported leather wrap complete with gold vermeil and sterling silver plated nuggets. Handcrafted in Vietnam, all Chan’s bracelets are finished off with a Chan Luu engraved button and adjustable closure. While these bracelets are boho-chic, they are not so boho-cheap, at a hefty $240.00 a pop!

 

Cocobelle wrap bracelets

Cocobelle's Istana wrap bracelets in white and black!

Looking for a style that won’t “wrap up” your budget? Cocobelle’s Istana wrap bracelet is perfect for you! Much like Chan Luu, Cocobelle’s designers Ignacio Bussy and Lucy Peglar, also combine their culture and world travel inspirations to create the amazing and affordable line that is Cocobelle! Also available in black and white, the Istana wrap features a macramé wrap bracelet with gold and clear bead details. Handcrafted in Indonesia, it comes complete with a mother of pearl nugget closure. At only $20.00 a piece, we are definitely calling this one a steal!
