Parisa Wang Review! Jane Bucket bag in Suede

This is a super special post. I'm proud that my YouTube channel has grown and happy to share that Parisa Wang is my first collaboration. To me, this means my YouTube channel has officially made it. 😅 

I've heard so many great things about their suede bags and I'm very excited to share this review with you all! That said, this was the most nerve wracking review I've ever had to do. I didn't want to come off as a sell-out and become one of those influencers that have nothing but great things to say about a bag. You're still going to get my honest feedback no matter what.

Full disclosure - Parisa Wang reached out and gifted me the Jane Bucket bag in exchange for a review.

That said, Parisa Wang has given me complete editorial freedom, and the opinions are entirely my own. You'll still get my honest take; the good and the not-so-good. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.

I went with the Jane Bucket bag because you can hold it by the top handle and it also comes with a detachable crossbody strap. If you've been following me for a while, you know how much I appreciate being hands free when shopping and running errands. 

The handle drop is 6 inches and fits comfortably over a jacket if you want to carry it by the crook of the arm. The detachable crossbody strap is adjustable. I have it on the shortest setting and the top of the bag hits right around the lower waist. The strap is on the thinner side, but at least you can swap the strap out for something else if you prefer.

Overall it's a comfortable carry and lightweight which is always appreciated because as I get older I tend to want to carry a bag that's light. 

Let's take a closer look at the details. First off, the suede is incredible! It's as good as some of my high end designer bags. It's much better than any Coach suede I have come across  in recent years. I'm actually shocked at how nice it is. I'm going to do another review comparing all of my suede bags to see where Parisa Wang places in the lineup.

The belt that loops around the bag is a real working belt with double gold loops that are inspired by equestrian hardware. I really appreciate their design with keeping the hardware minimal because it helps keep the bag lightweight.

The double handles are comfortable to hold, I do feel like they could be a little thicker. 

The edge paint on the bag is high quality. I actually sent some photos to one of my bag crafting friends and he was impressed with the edge paint. It's done very well, it's smooth and not clumpy. Little details like this matters to me. I also love that the bottom has four feet. 

The entire bag is suede, even the inside is lined with suede which in my eyes elevates the bag. There's a strong magnetic closure and two D rings on the sides to attach the strap. I typically leave the strap inside the bag when I'm using it and if I feel the need to be hands free, I'll clip on the strap. The strap is light weight and doesn't take up much space at all.

Is there anything that I don't like about the bag? I would suggest two improvements. One would be an inside slip pocket for some organization and the second thing I would improve are the handles. I would want them to be slightly thicker or more sturdy because it doesn't have a nice drape when not in use and I'm not quite sure why. They're just a little too wavy. I would have liked the edge of the handles to be slightly rounded because I do feel the edge when holding it by the top handle, but that's me being extremely picky. That said, for $528 I think this bag is well worth the price. Especially since the goatskin suede is some of the nicest suede I have come across.

For an extra slouchy look, you can cinch the belt just a little bit on one side.

Would I buy a Parisa Wang bag? The short answer is yes, I would definitely try another suede bag of theirs without hesitation. Would I try one of their pebbled leather bags? I'm not sure. I'm personally not a fan of pebbled leather, I prefer smooth leather. Parisa Wang does have some styles available in smooth leather, but nothing stands out to me in their current lineup. For some reason the Grace Soft Top Handle Bag is only available in pebbled leather or suede. The burgundy suede looks luscious. Will this be my first Parisa Wang purchase? Stayed tuned. 😅
