Coach Review! Troupe Tote 16 Micro Bag



Hi everyone! I went to Lululemon this weekend so I'll have a nice fit review Friday coming up at the end of the week! Today's post will focus on micro bags. They are very on trend at the moment and have been for a while. It seems like they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. 

For this post, I'm reviewing Troupe Tote 16 by Coach in deep red. It's currently 50% off! 



This is the first micro bag I've used. It's also a bag from Rent The Runway. I love getting to try out bags without having to buy them, thanks to my sister's account! If you're interested in trying Rent The Runway my sister has a referral code- RTRFAM11D1780. This code is $200 off your first two months of Unlimited ($100 off each month).

Do you ever wonder what really fits into micro bags? These tiny bags only fit your essential, every day items. For me it fits my keys, my three card cases and my iPhone X. I can also squeeze in my inhaler and chapstick if I wanted to, but that's basically it. Forget about a normal size wallet or sunglasses. 


Super cute it is. Practical it is not. There is a bigger version of this bag that's currently half off as well. My co-worker saw the mini version I was carrying and loved it to much, she ordered the large version for herself. I'll take some photos of it when it arrives. 


The handle is so tiny I could barely get my hand through. It's definitely a hand held bag or cross body bag only. I could not fit the handle over my wrist comfortably. The turn lock clasp is a nice detail but I had a hard time actually turning the little knob. The inside is nicely lined with microsuede. The smooth glove tanned leather feels buttery soft and light weight. I love the color. It is a berry red and gives a nice pop to any outfit. The brass colored hardware goes well with the red. Overall I would give this bag 3 out of 5 stars. 


I'm currently lusting over the Willis 18 Top Handle in vermillion. It's a little bit bigger than the Troupe Tote 16. I may order it to see. What are your thoughts on the micro bag trend? Do you have one? 



That's it for me! Hope everyone has a fab Monday!

  1. I really like the color of that Troupe Tote 16 but it is so tiny! Not sure how I feel about the size. And I prefer smaller sized purses. I have only two purses, both by Bed Stu, and love them. I’m super picky when it comes to purses which is why I have only two. I can never find anything that suits all my needs.

  2. It is definitely micro sized. I don't think it would be good as an everyday bag. That is amazing you only have two bags.... It's embarrassing to admit how many I have!

    1. Haha! I think because of my extreme bag pickiness, the two I have suit me. Makes my bank account and husband happy too. :D

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review! Aviator Nation Navy Hoodie 5 Stripe

  Is it already Monday? This weekend just flew by. For the first time since early 2020, I met up with a friendly neighbor and we went out for dim sum. At the end we hugged since I hadn't seen her in forever. I told her, "You're the first person I hugged since the pandemic started that isn't my husband!" 😄  For today's post, this is a hoodie I've been dying to try for months but kept putting it off because of the price tag. Aviator Nation is not cheap. Not a whole lot makes me pause because I'm used to seeing Lululemon hoodies priced at $128-$138. Aviator Nation comes in at a whopping $189.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and I am wearing a size XS in Aviator Nation. For Lululemon tops I typically wear a size 4. 5 Stripe Hoodie  Navy Size XS The interesting thing about Aviator Nation is their hoodies are unisex sizing. The available sizes are XS-XXL. The female model is shown wearing size XS while the male model is shown wearing size large. I took a c...
