I always get requests to review my handbags when I add a new one to the family, and to be honest I just haven’t had a bag in a while that I thought warranted a review. I’m fairly picky the pickiest with bags and nothing has really wowed me lately…

…until Pinkalicious came into my life. [We can call her that because when I watch my flower girls we always read Pinkalicious and somehow that is engrained in my brain]. I love to carry smaller bags in the summer so I’m not weighed down and this little tiny pink number just wanted me to be her mom.

I figured the easiest way to get to business was to share my pros & cons, but for the next review [whenever that may be!] let me know if there are other questions you want answered!

Sidenote: I totally realize this was a splurge. I’d saved for months and so I will include similar bags at a more inexpensive price point! 

Pros:

• I loathe lambskin leather. I mean seriously detest it. I just don’t understand it, whatsoever. I like my leather textured and a little bit more rough so that it won’t show marks. Who wants to spend $2,000 on a bag to have it scuffed or scratched the next week? Life happens and so do marks. This leather is textured so marks don’t show. If you get a smudge or anything a baby wipe takes it right off! I love that it allows the bag to age well throughout the years.
• I love the structure. I prefer boxy bags so that I can keep my contents organized and have them stay put. I hate when I reach in my bag and can’t find a specific item, so this structure keeps everything in place.
• It’s considered a mini bag but I didn’t really have to downsize. I mean I’m not toting around 50 lip glosses per usual [but that’s absurd and I should be slapped], but my makeup bag, wallet, keys, etc. all fit!
• She is girly and edgy all at the same time. I love that Fendi bags are so easy to add little charms and eclectic touches like this pouf, but have a classic structure that pair well with any dress you may wear.

Cons:

• Of course the price point is a factor, but I really find that when I buy lots of inexpensive bags I keep buying new ones to solve the problems of the old. I prefer to invest, but we all have our favorite things to splurge on, so it’s definitely a varying factor.
• If you like to hold you bags in the crook of your arm, you can with this but it’s just awkward with the size! Just something to think about!
