Hi Mel, I love the Scandinavian design of this bag. I do agree that one size smaller probably would be more practical.

Melissa, this is my first time hearing about the brand CALA JADE. I checked it out and found that it’s a niche designer brand from Norway, and everything is handmade. Influenced by architectural aesthetics, art, and fashion, CALA JADE seeks to find a balance between femininity, androgyny, and timelessness. This seems to be their brand vision. Thank you for your detailed introduction, which gave me a deeper understanding of the brand. I love your passion for Scandinavian design and your attention to detail. Looking forward to more brand recommendation videos like this! 💼

@@NaomiJones-pc3bz yes, I love that they are from Norway and everything is handcrafted. That’s one of the things that sold me on the brand.

Although I think the medium size MISU bag would have been better for styling I have found the large size great for days I need to head to the gym after work. I can fit my gym clothes, shoes, and my handbag essentials in the large with ease.

Yay, I’ve been waiting on this video after seeing this bag featured in a few previous videos. I just realized you don’t have any totes in your collection when you mentioned the Jodie was your largest bag before this one. I think this bag would be a really great travel bag for a road trip. And possibly good work bag. I’m sure a laptop could fit. It reminds me of the YSL I-Care tote that costs $11,000 😂, I’m exaggerating. This is a really beautiful bag. I love the shape and silhouette. And the pouch that goes inside I really like that for the closure of it.

Hi Mel, beautiful bag, just a suggestion I’d use some sort of organizer or cloth inside to prevent color transfer. Beautiful bag!!!

❤So excited about this video because I was the one that recommended the Cala Jade Misu bag. I pictured you in the Misu medium sea spray bag(I have only seen the sea spray color online). ❤But the black is beautiful too. Wish it was easyer for you to return the bag. It's a beautifull bag and it will make a good weekend bag though. I don't own the large Misu. I own the medium Misu in the color umber and the Nami mini in the color pecan and I really love them! Next bag for me from Cala Jade will be the Aimee clutch. I'm from Norway and I was really impressed that you was so spot on about Scandinavian style and design. Made me proud in some way. I still recommend the Misu bag in the size medium. ☺️❤

@@SoleilAlexa I think I will add a medium MISU bag one day but for now I’m enjoying the large for days I need to go to the gym. Even though I love Scandinavian design I was worried that I might get something wrong while describing it. I’m so glad to hear I didn’t get it wrong 😁. Thank you for recommending the brand to me. I love it.

Hi from Norway :) Thanks for the great review, I was actually looking for it since I am thinking purchasing this bag in brown, medium. And if you like Scandinavian style, check the Toteme t-lock bag, I am obsessed with the one in espresso suede
@MelissaAdams-Wade12 күн бұрын
I have been loving Toteme bags recently. The style always catches my eye. Definitely go with the medium, the large is too big for day to day. I would love to visit Norway. It’s on the bucket list.
