HANDBAG REVIEW

Happy Sunday babes! Today I am sharing my Handbag Review, designer bags are an investment so it’s always a good idea to do your research beforehand. Hopefully this will help any of you thinking about purchasing one!
Disclaimer: I love my bags & I’m sharing my opinions on which are my favorite & least favorite based on what works for me! Just because something isn’t my favorite doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a good choice for you, I have found what works best for me & my lifestyle.
My bags are listed in the order I got them, I tried to make this as short & sweet as possible so if I missed anything or you have a question about a specific bag don’t hesitate to ask!
​Here we go! 

This was my first designer bag & I bought it used for around $400. I love this bag & it is very functional. It’s big enough to fit a wallet/sunnies/keys & way more! I do wish this bag had a long strap because it isn’t my favorite to carry on my arm but when I do carry it I add the strap from my Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 in Red Epi Leather. The 25 is a great size & I don’t think I would want it any bigger!

Would I buy this again?
No, I love it & it was a great first bag but my style has changed since then!

I got this bag when I passed my Cosmetology State Boards & it’s seriously my favorite bag EVER. I carry it everyday, it’s so so functional & holds everything I need it to. The GM is super huge but I always have my laptop/my camera and sometimes I carry another smaller bag inside of it. I always use this bag when traveling, it fits on top of my suitcase & under the seat in front of me on the plane. I highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for an everyday tote. I chose the Damier Ebene because of the dark handles, I didn’t want it to patina extremely fast because my hands sweat all the time! I also am not the most careful with this bag because I do use it everyday so I didn’t want something that would show wear easily/quickly.

Would I buy this again?
Yes! I LOVE this bag!

I got this bag while getting my initials on my Neverfull, it is so cute & a great bag for going out. I thought that I would use this bag a lot more than I do but I still really love it! It does fit a wallet but you won’t be able to fit much more in after that. I usually throw this in my Neverfull & carry it when Evan & I are going to dinner if I don’t want to carry a tote! 

Would I buy this again?
No, it’s so cute but I would want something a little bigger!

I wanted a bigger bag with a longer strap & was immediately in love with this! It’s such a good size & the color goes with so much more than I thought it would when buying it. I really love the texture of the leather & that it is more structured. It’s such a nice throw on & go bag! 

Would I buy this again?
Yes! I would love it in another color.

I ordered this online & seriously learned my lesson after that! I wanted to love this tote so badly but something about it just doesn’t do it for me. I absolutely love the color & style but the bag is very unstructured & I think I’m scared to carry it because I don’t want it completely losing shape! Other than being unstructured it’s a beautiful bag & I really love that it’s a tote but still zips shut. 

Would I buy this again?
No, I learned I prefer more structured bags!

I really researched before getting this bag to be sure it’s what I wanted & I could not be happier with it! This bag is SO beautiful, durable & functional. It’s big enough to use as an everyday tote but it’s heavier & doesn’t work as a shoulder bag. I wouldn’t use this bag for traveling but it’s great to carry daily/around town. I love that it doesn’t have hardware so it goes with everything! 

Would I buy this again?
Yes! Celine bags are SO beautiful & worth it! 

I love this bag SO much that I have it in two colors! It is so beautiful & I love the velvet. It’s so elegant but edgy at the same time. The size is PERFECT, I can fit my wallet/sunnies/keys & more. When I first got this I always left it unlatched & Evan actually called me out & told me I would ruin them. I’m glad he did because I love these bags & want to take care of them! I highly recommend the medium size, it’s about a $200 price difference but it’s worth it for me to be able to fit my everyday items in it!

Would I buy this again?
YES, YES, YES

My mom just got this for me for my 21st birthday & I love it so much. I picked it out & chose the mini because I wanted something different. It does not fit my wallet but does fit my iPhone Plus/sunglasses/keys. I love the chain & the suede trim. This bag can easily be mixed/matched with items in my closet & I can honestly see myself getting another very soon!

Would I buy this again?
Yes, hopefully soon! 

I spent 4+ hours in Nordstrom looking for a bag before I found this. I wanted a structured tote with silver hardware & they showed my this in black. I loved it but it wasn’t doing it for me so they went to the back & brought out this, I knew this was it! The color is so perfect & it’s easy to match outfits to. This was exactly what I was looking for in terms of size, style & color. I love everything about this bag! 

Would I buy this again?
Yes!

& that’s all for now babes! Again, I love all my bags but everyone is different & has different needs in a bag! I know buying designer bags isn’t for everyone but investing in designer bags is worth it for me because I need something that is going to last me & hold up! I was spending the same amount of money on bags that weren’t designer when I added it up. When you take care of your designer bags they will last you a lifetime!
