I usually know better than to say never, but chances are, you’ll likely never catch me with a high-end designer bag in my grasp.
Not because I don’t appreciate their craftsmanship and design – I do, from afar – but because I know I’m not worthy.
I move through life at a quick and often clumsy pace, tumbling along in search of my next great adventure. Dragging along a bag that costs ten grand just isn’t a good idea (and also that’s a lot of plane tickets!).
But that doesn’t mean I ignore things like quality and style – I just have to seek them out in ways that suit my budget and my tastes.
The shape of the bag calls back to trendy nylon crescent bags, down to the rugged branded nylon strap. But where it differs stylistically is in the materials, with soft sheepskin leather instead of crunchy nylon.
But how does it move in my world?
This bag has been the perfect helper for all of my jaunts around Charlotte, holding my day-to-day essentials like my wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, and reusable tote bags while leaving me with plenty of room for impromptu additions (i.e. snacks).
Large purses often feel like bottomless pits, making it a challenge to find your hand sanitizer without sifting through countless items. However, the interior pockets in this bag are a game-changer for staying organized. The mesh pockets are perfect for easily storing pens and lipstick, while the built-in key leash ensures I’m never scrambling to find my keys in the Whole Foods parking garage. I prefer using my full wallet with this bag, reserving the card slots for business cards. The interior zippered pocket is ideal for keeping tampons and other less frequently needed items secure and out of the way.
As for the “perfect world” pocket, it easily holds my iPhone 13 Pro, but I still am not always in the habit of using it. Though this space often goes unused, the good news is it doesn’t encroach on the main compartment when empty.
