Petite Impact

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Fall is coming and Halloween is just 45 days away and I'm definitely going to be carrying this custom Coach Rogue bag by Chelsea Champlain for all of October. I love her artwork and had my bag sent to her back in July for customization. I got it back a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. This is my third custom. Her prices are reasonable and she takes requests through her Instagram account and her Etsy shop for anyone who might be interested.  I am 4 feet 11 and carrying Rogue 30. The detail is absolutely amazing. It looks even better in person if you can imagine it. I can't be more pleased with how it came out. I originally requested just a large skull but when Chelsea came back with an initial sketch of a skull and snake, to be honest I was a little bit hesitant to agree. Chelsea's first sketch to me. She told me she was going to remove the lower half of the jaw on the skull and move the snake hea

  I'm so excited to share this bag with you all! This purchase was made at the tail end of 2023. So I'm still good on my no-buy challenge. One of my 2024 goals is to put up a Youtube video every other week which will mainly focus on bags. Hope you all enjoy my review! For reference i'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.  Boxed New Year Rogue 25 with Dragon Buff/Brass At the time of this post, the bag is already sold out. It was not up for long as it's a limited edition piece. It's also the year of the Dragon and this bag is beautiful so I am not surprised at how quickly it went.  If you're not familiar with the Rogue bag, they come in many sizes now and it's this style that brought me back to Coach. The Dragon Rogue 25 is their small to medium size bag. It will fit your essentials and then some. I will also link to my video to show what fits.  This bag comes with two sets of straps. You can carry it crossbody which I prefer, or use the other set of straps and carry it o

My very first handbag purchase was an Icon bag. Icon is actually famous for their shoes, but I saw this Navigator bag on display at Bloomingdales and had to have it. It cost $400 and it was my gift to myself for graduating college. I thought, man that's expensive for a bag but it's like a work of art! The Navigator Bag by Icon So yes, I still have it in my closet and no I don't use it anymore. Soon after I discovered Balenciaga in 2005 and it's been a on and off love affair ever since. My very first Balenciaga was a pewter first in silver hardware. I wish I still had it. I eventually sold it because it was a little too small for me. Balenciaga Pewter First 2005 Over the years I've gone through tons of Balenciagas. There are a few that I regret selling. If I ever won the lotto, I would probably spend the money searching for the old and rare Balenciaga bags that pop up on eBay every so often. Specifically the ones released in 2001-2005.

  Happy Friday! It's already mid-April. Hard to believe that summer is right around the corner. It's also giving me hope that things are truly going to be back to normal and lately I have been using my nicer bags on a regular basis. I'm still using the Everywhere Belt Bag but definitely not as often as I used to. That said, I actually have the Extended Strap version on the way in Lavender Fog which I'm pretty excited about. I will post a comparison review between the two versions soon.  Today I have a very special post featuring Coach and Chelsea Champlain. For those of you who don't know, Chelsea Champlain is an artist that was featured in Coach's fall 2018 collection . I found out she was also taking custom requests and of course I had to send her some of my bags for her to transform into one of a kind masterpieces. Purses are my biggest weakness. More than anything else!  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.  Coach Field Tote also wearing Athleta Urb
