There are better versions of this bag on Amazon. Cheap Quality
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2020
This bag is very trendy which is why I bought it. I got the apricot color which turned out to be a bright vanilla shade. I also bought a brown one from a different seller (whom I will not name but will leave a review for) since the reviews weren't very telling and I will compare both bags in this review. Despite having just about the same price, there are several differences between these two bags that I'd like to highlight but TLDR: This one is not the winner.Style: While the listing pictures of these kinds of bags are often less than authentic, the brown one looks closest to the online pictures. The vanilla one differs from the pictures in that the opening area on top looks quite different. My boyfriend thinks this looks like the piranha plant lips from Mario and I agree. This is the feature I am the most upset about because it doesn't look anything like the pictures. I much prefer the look of the folds of fabric all coming together because I think that looks like a dumpling.The bottoms are also quite different. The brown one is gathered in the corners to make it look more slouchy while the vanilla one has something like a flimsy little piece of cardboard poorly sewn in the bottom that I believe is supposed to give it shape? I don't know how, since it's so flimsy and only sewn through the center so the corners move around freely. Still, I think the vanilla one has a fatter profile because of this when it's empty which someone may prefer but I do not.Fabric: The brown one is the same uniform leather material inside and out, including the strap. It's the softest purse I've ever touched and I adore it. The vanilla one is made of a similar material though not as soft and the inside is a cheap black material with a single zippered pocket on the side. Some may really appreciate this pocket from a utilitarian point of view but, for me, the cheap material isn't worth having a pocket. (I'd rather it be white leather inside so I can post What's In My Bag pics like Rosie Huntington-Whitely lol)Size: Dunkin Gift Card included to express size. The brown bag was intended to be a size medium while the vanilla bag should be small, though the listing displays VERY different measurements in the pictures and description. It is the size described in the pictures, not the description. In real life, they are incredibly similar in size, but have different structural architecture especially at the bottom. The straps on both are pretty much the same width.Opening: The brown bag has a small brass hinge that's visible when you open it and the magnetic closure is a little weaker than I'd like it to be but so far that hasn't been an actual problem. The vanilla bag is not magnetic and a much larger portion of the silver metal hinge is visible when open. This is another example of inferior quality. The hinge is a very unique design that reminds me of an old lady contraption. It's actually incredibly difficult to open and close and it SQUEAKS. On one hand, the magnetic closure of the brown one could be less than secure but on the other hand, the vanilla bag is a pain to open so make of that what you will.Quality of details: The brown bag has an advantage over the vanilla here because the stitching is much cleaner. They also covered the ends of the straps with something to make it look fancier whereas the vanilla one left the strap ends uglier. This is yet another example of cheap quality.Smell: Neither bags smell very strong but if you really sniff the inside, they have the exact same scent. It's hard to describe but it reminds me of my father's fishing tackle box. I'm confident it will fade over time and it's not an issue for me.In the end, the bags are each a little different and while some may appreciate the features of the vanilla one, I believe the brown one is better in every way. The brown one was also cheaper when I bought them but I know prices change constantly on Amazon. Ultimately, I'd say don't buy this unless you really prefer the style of opening displayed in my pictures and the black inside with a pocket. For whatever reason, I cannot figure out how to add my pictures to this review but I'll keep trying over the next couple days.
Small in size but fits large contents.

I spent a lot of time searching for a good handbag that would work for casual and formal events because I am a minimalist. This bag is great for both. My favorite thing about it is that despite it being nice and small, it fits my entire wallet, unlike any of my clutches. The material is shiny and fairly high end looking. Iâve worn it quite a lot since I purchased it and so far no scratches or damage.
Just as described on the pictures

Honestly I think this a very nice bag for the price, it is very thick, it is very soft, it has a lot of space inside so you can fit a lot of things, the material is very good quality and it looks like itâs going to last. I really like it because it is a very nice alternative to expensive brands and it is also very comfortable to carry on. The material is very good quality and very soft as well, the color is as described on the picture.
Mini Duffle Purse

It's a great compact to-go purse to throw things in. It's also cute and perfect for a night out, kind of like a mini duffle bag.
