Happy Friday! I'm going to the new office today for the first time and will probably head into the office three times a week (I'm hoping) which leads me to this review. This Rothy's saddle bag is fairly versatile. It can be used for quick errands over the weekends, brunch with some friends (now that things are getting better with the pandemic) and it's the perfect size for grabbing a bite to eat with office mates for lunch.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.

The size is definitely small. It can hold my card case, keys, phone and a small pouch to hold other miscellaneous things but that's about it. It's an easy bag to carry, I like to wear it crossbody to keep my hands free. The magnetic closure could be a little stronger, I do feel like it's a little on the weak side and opens quite easily, there's not much resistance there. The strap is fully adjustable, no issues with the length even with my short torso and measures 1.5 inches wide.

The shape of this saddle bag can be a little tricky at times. Because it's a circle shape, the items can end up bunched in the middle of the bag. Placing your items strategically is key! There is a flap that opens up to a single compartment with one side pocket. There are no zippers to this bag.
I can also easily fit my iPhone 12 pro.
One inside pocket to hold cards/cash/receipts.
The quality and construction is superb. The fabric is so soft for something that's knitted from plastic bottles. I also love that you can throw this in the washing machine. Rothy's includes a dust bag and a wash bag for this purpose! Always remember to air dry.
The colors are cream and black. It also comes in Total Black but I think the Ivory/Ink combination looks more interesting. There's the signature Rothy's blue in the middle of the flap and a hint of yellow on the sides of the flap. Otherwise this bag is very minimalistic. I kind of love it! However the price is a bit steep at $195. It's expensive for such a little bag. I used some of my referral awards to purchase this bag so it helped with the cost. In the end, my mom saw it and liked this bag so much that I gave it to her as a gift. She's excited to use it when she goes shopping so that makes me happy. 😊

In other news I don't think I've seen an Athleta Warehouse sale in a very long time. It was just announced and ends 3/6. Up to 70% off but note - all sales are final. There's currently over 500 items to look through.

(I like this, but I don't know what I would use it for!)
That's it for me! Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Shopping!
I like the minimalistic design of this bag, It looks very modern! Also a bonus that it's machine washable!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Thanks Karen! Rothy's has a lot going for them! Have a great weekend too!
DeleteThe saddle bag is so cute and I also love that it’s machine washable! Love the hint of yellow which makes it more interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy Lululemon Wide Brim Hat orders came in! I said orders because LLL restocked and I managed to place another order in size L/XL. If I didn’t get the larger size, I would think size S/M fit perfect. However, I love how the larger size provides better coverage (I can pull the hat down lower) and I could cinch it to make it fit smaller around the head anyway. The fabric is very soft and light, and so comfortable that I have to keep both the black and white ones! I’m really happy with my purchase!
Oh wow, I'm so happy the L/XL came back in stock. I'm a big fan of trying different sizes to see what works best. Will you wear these in the summer as every day hats?
DeleteHappy weekend! I LOVE that cardigan on you. It is still on my bucketlist wishlist haha! I love that Rothty's bag in that style and color. Such a pretty neutral bag. I was thinking about buying the Cates Tee too but have resisted.... for now. It's in my bag.
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! I still want the cardigan in the white color too... maybe next year!!
DeleteAhhhh I couldn't resist. I bought the Cates Tee lol.
I wear hats very often and these will make perfect summer hats! :)

DeleteOh! I will take care of that for you. No worries. Not sure why they removed that feature though? =(
DeleteWhere is your cardigan from? It’s gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHi there it's from Naked Cashmere, I have it linked on the blog it's under the second photo. I really love it, it's pricey though.
