A head dress and a bag

As you know the Brontës reach all realms and fashion, though an unlikely connection, likes its Brontës as well. So here we bring you a couple of accessories.

Here on the left you can see a 'Jane Eyre wedding head dress' made by Estibalitz Diaz de Durana from Leatelier. It is described as follows:

La intención con este tocado es recrear,en lo posible, el aire romántico Victoriano, de ahí su nombre. Confeccionado en seda salvaje y tul, adornado con pequeñas perlas y cristales, rematado atrás con una lazada.
The object of this head dress is to recreate as much as possible the romantic Victorian style, hence the name. Raw silk and tulle with small pearls and crystals, tied at the back with a lace. (Picture source)

We have to ask though, whether a Jane Eyre-inspired head accessory for a wedding is truly advisable.

"Not at first. But presently she took my veil from its place; she held it up, gazed at it long, and then she threw it over her own head, and turned to the mirror. At that moment I saw the reflection of the visage and features quite distinctly in the dark oblong glass." [...]
"Sir, it removed my veil from its gaunt head, rent it in two parts, and flinging both on the floor, trampled on them." [...]
"But, sir, when I said so to myself on rising this morning, and when I looked round the room to gather courage and comfort from the cheerful aspect of each familiar object in full daylight, there -- on the carpet -- I saw what gave the distinct lie to my hypothesis, -- the veil, torn from top to bottom in two halves!" (Jane Eyre, ch. XXV)

Oh well, we suppose as long as there is no madwoman in the attic you should be quite safe.

And our second accessory leans more towards everyday use. We actually don't know if its name, Bronte Bag, is inpired by the Brontës, as the bag itself does not provide us with many clues. Because fashion ignorants that we are it looks to us like what it exactly is: another Burberry bag.
