Review! Polo Ralph Lauren Mini Bellport Bucket Bag

 

Happy Monday! It's another new week, and we are closing in on the end of January. Now I have not reviewed a bag in a long time, and I have a few coming up. Starting off with this gorgeous bucket bag. I've tried the Mansur Gavriel Mini Mini Bucket Bag a couple of years ago and while I loved the size, I did not love the stiff leather. Ever since then I've been looking for the perfect bucket bag.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. 



I've never purchased a bag from Ralph Lauren before. I've always looked at them but none of them ever seemed to fit my style. Just on a whim, I recently checked their website to see what new bags were available and knew the moment I saw this mini bucket bag, I had to order it. For one thing, the price is only $298 versus $465 for the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. Secondly, the color Cuoio is the perfect classic brown that will never go out of style. It's so saturated and rich with contrasting stitching which I love.

The shoulder strap is adjustable and I have it on the shortest setting. Even on my short stature the bag hits perfectly at my hip. The size is quite generous for such a small bag. If you can fit everything you need in Lululemon's Everywhere Belt Bag, you'll have no problem with the size of this bag.


Let's see what fits. I've got my Chanel pouch, Icebreaker mints, Quay sunglasses, Gucci card case, Alexander McQueen key holder and Peeps eyeglass cleaner.

Inside is lined with suede and it definitely does smell like leather. I personally love the smell of new leather. I wish someone can bottle it up in a perfume for me. I can fit everything in the bag including my iPhone 12 Pro with room to spare. The bag is very lightweight, it doesn't even weigh one pound.



I love the minimalistic look and feel of this bucket bag. Here are some close up photos. The leather is so buttery and soft. The hardware is brass and I just love the white stitching. There is a small logo on the bottom of the bag, and it's just imprinted on the leather, so it is barely noticeable. 



I've already used this bag for a couple of weeks and the leather is breaking in nicely. On the back of the bag it looks like a scratch but it's just the variation in the leather. Even so, I think scratches will add more character to the bag. There is a drawstring leather tab where you can pull to cinch in the top and it's very easy to use. 



This is the perfect petite bucket bag and I can't recommend it enough, there are no flaws that I can find. Right now this bag comes in two colors. The Truffle brown is on sale for $199. It's a steal. This also comes in a suede and embossed croc as well.

  3. that's a cute and casual bag you can use a lot! I usually like bags with zippers so things don't fall out. I've never tried bucket bags

    1. I definitely prefer zipper bags, but the bucket bag is actually a lot of fun and super easy to use. Do have to be a little bit careful that you don't turn it upside down. LOL.

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
