Hello, hello, helloo! How are you? I hope you're well.
I finally bought a new bag! You probably know how obsessed I am with bags and I think I have found the perfect one for this season!
It's by the brand Coccinelle and it's actually the first time I bought a handbag from them. I had my eye on this brand for quite some time, but I could never find a bag that spoke to me. However, then I found the Coccinelle "Liya" bag and fell in love. It's not so much the shape of it that made me buy it but the amazing colours that make it look so expensive. I first had my eye on a dark blue, suede "Liya" bag, but it must've been a colour from last season, since it quickly sold out and never came back in stock. I was devastated, but it turned out to be for the better since I found an even better colour.
The bag I bought is the Coccinelle "Liya" in the colour "Grape", which is a stunning mulberry red. It's just the most perfect, expensive looking colour and it looks really good with the gold hardware of the bag. It's completely made out of suede on the outside, which I know is quite risky. I never had a suede bag before but I heard that they tend to get marks and scratches quite easily. Thus, it was not the most sensible purchase ever, but I couldn't resist it.
The handbag has a handle at the top to wear it in the crook of your arm and it also has a strap to wear it crossbody. The straps can be attached at the handle, which I personally don't like as much, since I find it looks kind of weird. I would have preferred to have attachments for it at the sides. The bag has a small compartment at the back and the handbag itself can be opened by twisting the metal bit at the front.
Inside, the handbag is quite roomy. I can easily put my wallet, my keys, my phone, an umbrella and my 10" Tablet PC in there and there will be still space left. The bag doesn't have any suede on the inside but light fabric and the back of the front flap is made out of grained leather in the same colour as the outside. The big compartment is divided into two sections. In the back section there is a small zip compartment and in the front there are also two smaller ones to fit in the bits and bobs one needs.
The bag costs about 350€ which I think is really good considering the size of the bag. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and I'm excited to wear it for the first time very soon.
I hope you're having an amazing day! See you, xx
