When I placed my Quince order I had to try one of their bags as well. The Slouchy Shoulder Bag in suede caught my eye. I'm not a hobo bag kind of girl, but the slouchy style got my attention. Plus the suede looked really soft from the photos on the website. It also had amazing reviews. I had to find out if it was worth the hype.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
Quince Italian Suede Slouchy Shoulder Bag Pebble

I'll admit, I was very surprised at how soft and silky the suede felt. I loved touching it and feeling how pliable it was. It would puddle if I set it down. So far, we are off to a very good start.
When I put it on to see how it draped, that's where I think the bag started to lose points with me. The bottom of the bag has a stiff rectangular base with very sharp corners which doesn't drape well. The stiff bottom piece serves as a base shaper, but it goes against the slouchy design.
I just don't think it drapes well. I really liked the wide flat strap that goes over the shoulder. The strap is suede on both sides. I also like the magnetic closure.
Let's take a look at the details of the bag.
The quality of the construction looked fine to me. It was stitched and put together well. I think the quality of the suede is fantastic.
There's a slip pocket and a zippered pocket inside of the bag. If you would like to see what fits, please check out my video. 😊
I love that the inside is also lined with suede.
Here's another look at the bottom of the bag. This is where I think the design can be improved. Perhaps a rounded oval shape might have worked better?
For less than $130 it's probably a good deal. I can't tell if the bag would hold up well in the long run since I didn't keep it but I think the design of the bag could have been improved. That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

ReplyDeleteHi AC! Happy you enjoyed this post. I'm really into suede right now! Hoping to add another suede bag to my fall rotation. 😊
DeleteReally cute bag and great review! I actually like the angles, otherwise it seems like it would be too shapeless. Too bad a snap closure isn't secure enough for my daily use. Appreciate the review!
ReplyDeleteHi there! It's a magnetic closure but yes, it's not difficult to open the bag. But I personally love magnetic closures. I'm a lazy user. 🤣
