CHECK OUT NEW MADEWELL BAGS WITH ME!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Please share which bag is your favorite! I had such a hard time deciding on just one bag so I walked out empty handed and now I wonder if I made a mistake! Madewell is coming out with some really great bags!! What do you think?

[@dawnhill891]

I think u should get the woven raisin tote that sold out that u were really drawn to. ❤

[@jessicamiller1780]

I ended up buying the brown sling bag myself. Using the little pocket for keys. It holds a surprising amount and is a little more “elevated” than my Uniqlo lol. I’m wearing it a ton. Great color and leather. ❤

[@nerdgurl402]

I’ve owned a few Madewell bags for years. The quality is excellent. I had a tan leather backpack but it scratched easily-it made it look broken in and vintage though so I didn’t mind. I also own a tote and a crossbody and they’re great for times I’m wearing outfits that I don’t want paired with my labeled bags.

[@lisaandrews7125]

I have the Mini Piazza bag, and it is so soft and easy to use. It looks especially cute if you tighten the drawstrings - it turns into a little dumpling. I don’t have any issues with wear or indents in the leather, but I don’t jam it full, either. The only con is the crossbody strap. It’s kind of cheap looking. I primarily use it with the top handles, so it’s not that big a deal.

[@HandbagFoodie]

Thanks for taking us shopping with you! Love the woven bags & the mini piazza!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, the woven tote and the mini piazza caught me by surprise. ❤

[@ericabell554]

I was in a Nordstrom rack and came upon a Madewell bag from the piazza line in the bucket style. I tried it on and walked around with it while shopping and couldn’t put it back. I love the camel color and the leather is amazing! I can’t stop touching it when I have the bag on. They make great bags!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ok this was me in the store!! I kept petting the mini Piazza bag and didn’t want to put it down! So glad to hear you’re enjoying your Piazza bucket bag. I didn’t even know they had a bucket version. So good!

[@Slightlyneurotic]

I purchased the small piazza and wore it today. The leather is so buttery soft. It is so comfortable to wear crossbody. I love it.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw yay!! You got a buttery soft one!

[@corikay]

I hope you get the beautiful tote!!! Please keep us posted! I’m a big fan of the Madewell tote’s!!!

[@MN-rx5ni]

I like how some of the woven leather pieces are not just the basic criss-cross pattern, but the "infinite cube" one! It's good to see other brands being highlighted ☺

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes the puff the crossbody has that design and it looks almost 3D! Pretty cool texture as well.

[@potato-whiz]

I just got the piazza crossbody a couple days ago and love it so much already but man that mini is really cute and I keep wondering if I should have gone for that. I like the low profile and the sleek look like you pointed out here and I think it would just be nice for using everyday when I just have my essentials with me. It is a beautiful bag though and I’m really happy with my purchase. I’m glad I got the smoother leather in my order too!

[@QueenShanine]

I love Madewell. I haven’t tried their bags yet but I just started shopping there last June and love the clothes and shoes I’ve purchased from there. The leather on the loafers I have is so soft.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ohhh thanks for sharing about the loafers! I haven’t tried their shoes yet.

[@VivienneKarlene]

Madewell makes beautiful bags. My pieces have held up well over the years. Their zip top totes, canvas utility bag and the Sydney bags are amazing. I hope you give them a chance.

[@muddygoat]

a family member has the mini piazza in black and it is such a little cutie! fits a lot more than expected, too!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I put my phone inside the mini Piazza and saw how roomy it was!

[@muddygoat]

@hellocatwalkcity very tempted to get it but definitely don't need another mini bag, haha. anyway, happy new year to you and your family! 새해 복 많이 받으세요 ❣️❣️❣️

[@celyd5284]

Love Madewell. I own two of their bags. I have the Transport small zip tote and the Transport camera bag. I’ve been eyeing the Carabiner crossbody in Dried Maple and the Sling bag also in that chocolate raisin color.

[@missmegs37]

I love madewell! I always come back to their jeans. Comfiest jeans ever and love that they do free hemming. I have a few of their bags now and sometimes I wear them more than my designer bags. They are so beautifully made, buttery, light, and hard wearing like u said. A lot of the times u can jusy buff out the scratches with a leather conditioner too! Will get this on sale for travel especially ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I love their bags too. My old Madewell bags developed such beautiful patina over time. I need to try their jeans!! And belt too… I’ve been eyeing their belts.

[@YosheaLux]

The Evelyn is just soo cute. Those are cute bags. Leather looks luxurious.

[@dawnhill891]

My fav was the mini Piazza! After watching your video I went ahead and purchased it. I can’t wait to use it. TFS ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw enjoy! It’s such a cutie.

[@R_DLF]

I would go back for the tote. I bought the woven tote it in marzipan color. I also bought the woven small crossbody you tried on in a cream and the magenta suede. I’ve been thinking of the sling but I bought a nylon green off amazon and love it.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Decisions, decisions! Such silly and fun decisions! 😆

[@RaqReviews]

I love their bags. I haven’t pulled the trigger on getting because of PLG.. but would love to own one someday.💕

[@durshi]

I love the madewell transport tote! I actually watched your review on it before buying it so thank you for introducing me to the brand!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Wonderful!!

[@lisahbobisa]

I had ordered the sling bag a few weeks ago in the metallic colour (think it was called Pewter) and it *just* reached me today after a little delivery mishap. Love the size, but I’m trying to be conscious of not over-stuffing it cos this shape looks best with a slight slouch. Excited to start using it properly! I intend to use the little outer pocket to hold my AirPods cos that’s something that tends to get a bit lost in the main compartments. Now I’m tempted by the Choc Raisin colour! 😂

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Enjoy yours!

[@lisahbobisa]

@@hellocatwalkcity looking forward to seeing what you got and your review :)

[@things_i_fancy]

I havent seen a Madewell bag in person but that woven leather is so beautiful 🤎 I also love videos like these with more affordable brands - and who doesn’t love a sale!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The woven tote is really nice! The sale price is just so good! But sad it’s not available online anymore.

[@things_i_fancy]

@@hellocatwalkcity hope you’re able to grab one at the store if you’re still eyeing on it! :)

[@xta4]

I just bought the sling bag in the off white / harvest moon color! (Will receive once it’s back in stock). Have always loved the Uniqlo bag but wanted something less casual and in leather.

[@Nicolina99]

I don’t own madewell but the bags are stunning. Maybe I’ll pop in soon. Thanks for taking us shopping. Don’t worry about not getting any of the bags. When you know you know and there is no doubt in your mind. Just like a wedding dress. lol

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw love this comment! So true… no need to force anything when it comes to shopping for these things. I may go back to Madewell soon just to make sure, but I’ll be going in with a lighthearted mindset. 😊

[@AdeleP-co2hg]

They are all beautiful! I do love the tote bag. The one you went in for to have a look reminds me of the Uniqlo bag… 😂 maybe that’s why I love it too! The little side zip pocket is awesome… easy access to the house keys for sure!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, it looks and feels like an elevated version of the Uniqlo sling! And that size zipper compartment is so smart!

[@hautepinkrae8084]

Love these bags, very sleek!

[@jaks_bag_attack]

In have the small and large piaza and the smaller own is way cute. ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh good to know!! The mini one is still calling me!

[@jessicamiller1780]

I had and returned the larger piazza tote in black bc it was soooo soft it just collapsed once I put a few things in it. Overall I love their leather and was considering the sling when I was in store last week. Bought a great dress!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh yes, I can see that happening bc it’s so soft! I think the mini Piazza with its shorter “body” would be better to manage the slouch. Glad you found a great dress!

[@stephaniee.nicolee]

I have the sling bag in the chocolate color! Just purchased it a few days ago and I am in love. I call it my elevated "bum bag" lol

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s so good!! I love the look and feel of it. That side zipper is everything! I just wish my larger iPhone would slip in that compartment more easily. Do you put your phone in there? Or what do you use that compartment for?

[@stephaniee.nicolee]

@@hellocatwalkcity In the side zipper I normally will keep my lip balm or keys in there. I mainly have my phone in my hand but will just pop it into the large compartment when I need to be hands free. I have been using everyday since I picked it up about 5 or 6 days ago. Which says a lot for me since normally I switch out my hand bag almost everyday.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

@@stephaniee.nicoleeOk, you may have convinced me! Putting your keys in that side compartment is a great idea.

[@maisy4675]

Love Madewell!!!!

[@salchen661]

Absolutely love the sling bag in chocolate raisin. I’m trying to gauge the size - would you say it is bigger or smaller than the Uniqlo mini round bag? I love my Uniqlo after your recommendation and looking for an elevated leather version. Thanks ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s a good-looking bag and definitely more elevated than the Uniqlo. I’d say it’s roughly about the same size as the Uniqlo, except the Madewell is more elongated in shape whereas the Uniqlo is more rounded. It also feels a bit more structured obviously since it’s leather and not nylon. Hope that helps!

[@nussaratumi5345]

Hi, would you recommend cuyana tote bag or madewell transport tote 😊?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Can I say BOTH? 😂 Seriously, this is THE question I was asking myself in the Madewell store. I kept thinking, I already have my leather tote from Cuyana which I adore, do I really “need” another tote? Here’s my thinking - the Cuyana tote is beautiful, but it’s a different silhouette with a wider shape. It can be worn on the shoulder or you can use the shorter top handles to carry crook-of-the-arm, which is nice. The Madewell however, I just know from personal experience with my older Madewell transport tote that it holds up REALLY well over the years. And since I let go of my Madewell bags after much use, I think I’m missing having another Madewell bag in my wardrobe. I also really loved the exterior pocket on the Madewell Medium Transport tote that I had. It was so handy for plopping my phone in there for easy access. The Cuyana tote doesn’t have any exterior pockets. Now… the woven version of the Madewell tote that I tried on in this video does NOT have an exterior pocket. Oh, also… the Madewell tote comes with a detachable longer strap so you can wear it crossbody, hands free if you wanted. All in all, they’re both fantastic totes with slight differences. The Cuyana, even in the small size which is what I have, is quite roomy but not as structured. The Madewell is slimmer and taller, and isn’t structured either but given the shape, items will sit more neatly inside, such as a laptop for example if you’re considering these as work bags. So it all depends on what you’re looking for, but I like both a lot and I would recommend both. You probably don’t need both though. Hope that helps!

[@cherrycherry5201]

I love the sling bag so much, if you get one can you please do a bag review?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s a great sling leather option! Absolutely, if I do get it, I will of course do a full review. My friend has the one in chocolate raisin color and she said she has been wearing hers every day.

[@R_DLF]

The chocolate tote is available on the website. If you are still interested

[@ofeliaolvera1389]

I have the black mini bag! Love it!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Glad to hear this!! It’s such a cute bag!

[@teresamcg431]

I purchased the puffy crossbody with the discount & it was only $37.79. Where can you get a good quality leather bag for the price? 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Wow that’s a great deal

[@savagecat5499]

Nordstrom rack has the transport tote but not in the color you want. Thank you for sharing

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I just searched it and I see which one you’re referring to, thank you! I’m just really smitten with the chocolate color version! 😅

[@jalaine007]

Hi! Go back to the store and get that tote! I was at a store here in my town (actually I work for the brand- subsidiary of-so I ❤ them!) and saw that very bag but wasn’t shopping for yet another bag that I don’t need 😂 so I didn’t get it but regretted it! I ended up calling them to find one at a different store and they are shipping it to me now! I’m so excited I found it and at such a terrific 🏷️. Thank u for your videos u inspire me to look at other brands other than lux! ⭐️❤ oh n if u want please do more vids on stocks/saving $ 🥰

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ahhh, do I need to run back?!! 😂

[@Yuru616]

I love their jeans

[@gcal65]

I need help cuyana small tote vs the madewell essentials tote? I’m leaning towards the cuyana but with the zipper ?!?!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

They’re both great options. The Madewell essential tote has more compartments and has a more structured leather, and is slightly heavier as a result. The Cuyana tote is softer, no pockets except the inside one and feather light. They both have the long shoulder straps plus the shorter top handle straps. I don’t think you can go wrong - choose the one that works best for you!

[@gcal65]

@@hellocatwalkcity thanks. I think I’ll get the cuyana with the organizer.

[@sophiexiao7524]

Does the leather on the essential tote feel supple and good quality?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It feels very durable and hard-wearing but it doesn’t feel supple. It feels flat, if that makes sense. There’s no cushion or plushness so I wouldn’t call it supple, no.

[@sophiexiao7524]

@@hellocatwalkcity thanks for your reply! How does the leather compare to the transport tote? I wish the transport tote had a zipper version that can fit a laptop for work.

[@lightlylani]

oh i'm really taken by the sling bag that you showed here.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I knowwww, me too!! 😂

[@lightlylani]

@@hellocatwalkcity i think my other comment didn't show up, but the woven transport tote you mentioned is on madewell website again! with 40% off, it's around ~$80. i'm not sure if if you've already purchased at store.

[@hollylackey6544]

Is the mini piazza cutest in the brown color?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The black one is really cute too! It sort of reminded me of my Polene Numero Neuf mini in black, which is probably why I kept reaching for the tan color instead. They’re both adorable and roomier than expected inside.

[@hollylackey6544]

@@hellocatwalkcity I just ordered the black one. Thank you!

[@noexcuses5524]

The bag that got sold out is similar to a bottega bag. No wonder why it sold out.

[@emk6117]

The Madewell sling bag is pretty stiff.

[@claudiaalarcon3574]

Don’t get it. You don’t go into the office and you already have a functional one. ☝️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

You are my voice of reason 😊

[@michellesurillo]

I love Madewell. I have the transport tote for so long and I just had to snag the last one in like a “natural buff” . With the 40% off on top of the sale I just couldn’t pass on it . I can’t wait to see it patina 🤍 I have been eyeing the camera bag one but I already have something like that .

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh my gosh, I loved my Madewell transport tote to bits. It was my go-to practically every day for work, for years! That 40% off is such a good deal! 👍
