Review! Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Soft Trunk Denim Blue Cowhide

My handbag journey continues with this Louis Vuitton Mini Soft Trunk in beautiful denim blue cowhide leather. I first saw this in person during my visit at Fashionphile, I fell in love with the color and leather. It is gorgeous to touch, but I didn't get to try it on or play with it at the store. I was just so distracted by all the other purses but after I left, I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I did the one thing I could do. I placed the order.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. 



This bag is so gorgeous in person. I love the size but the hardware does make the bag a little heavy. I do think the small chain attached to the front pocket is very cute, but the large chain links attached to the strap are a little too much. I would have preferred a full leather crossbody strap. 


It's definitely a head turner. The strap is adjustable, but it is a bit finicky. However, the strap is not removable which is a bummer because the large links can be a little cumbersome to wear. My husband (Jared) was saying he would not trust me wearing this bag because he would worry the chain would damage the car. Which is actually a valid concern, especially when I'm getting in and out of the car. 😅


Please check out my video below. I show what fits inside the bag and how to adjust the length of the strap. 


Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Soft Trunk Denim Blue


Let's take a look at the gorgeous details of this bag. The leather is supple and soft. The raised monogram design and color really makes this bag beautiful. The airbrushed look makes this bag even more unique. 


Measurements:
7 inches across x 5 inches high x 3 inches wide.


This bag can be worn with the chain in the front of your body, but I prefer the chain hanging down my back. It has a zip top closure that extends slightly down the side so you can open the bag a little wider to get things in and out. I love the aged silver hardware. The corners are also protected by hardware which adds a nice touch. 


The strap is attached to the bag on one end, but not on the other. I really wish the strap was removable.

I just LOVE how this bag looks.


In the end I returned this bag because while I love how it feels and looks visually, I decided that the strap wasn't as practical to use and made the bag heavier than I liked. Don't forget to check out my video! That's all for me today. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

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 ...
