DUYP BOSTON BAG REVIEW (What Fits, Mod Shots, Weight, Size Comparisons)

[@R_DLF]

I love this bag! I was lucky enough to order it when it came out. I have not had any issues with my Boston bag. There is a similar style from fossil called the Carlie mini satchel. I have it in brown and it’s just as lovely.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So glad to hear you’re enjoying yours too!

[@janiekhyun]

If anyone else searches for the fossil version, it shows as “Carlie” fyi!

[@R_DLF]

@@janiekhyun my phone auto corrected the word.

[@TheHandbagConnoisseur]

I have the nano on my purchase list. Do you use this DUYP Boston bag often? How’s it holding up?

[@merimore4173]

I love my blue one. Black was already sold and I could not wait! I have used the organiser on my table. Now, after using the bag without organiser for around 3 weeks I finally put it inside to keep the shape of the bag. The organiser eats space for sure. I was able to put so much in (even two Melody's mini pochettes: different pink ones of course) without the organiser and much more!!! Love all her products and your collab pieces I have! Thanks!!!

[@JacquelineLara]

I LOVE my purple Boston bag! I admit i was a little shocked at the size when i first opened it but i was smoothed over when i saw the interior of this little powerhouse! The organizer is also so well put together and sooo soft. The purple is a a true purple and is right for upcomimg fall/Halloween season. I'm a goth girl who never grew out of the lifestyle of everthing dark and ghastly. I have signed up for the all black when it comes out. Hopefully Melodie reads your reviews. She is amazing and makes good quality products and a fair price. Love her stuff! Thank you, Hannah for this review. You rock! 🥰💜

[@bpkdhillon]

I would loveeeee the Boston bag if it came in a creme with gold hardware or a warm grey like maybe taupe? With gold hardware! Always gold hardware, because I’m a gold gal haha

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ooh maybe DUYP will make those in the future! 😊

[@lemontartlett]

I asked Melodie during one of her Q&A stories on IG if there will be lighter colors in the future for the Boston bag and she said khaki and olive. I have the black one and have been using it non stop. I will pick up the khaki when it comes out, too! It would be beautiful if it came in greige also.

[@joannathesinger770]

I know. The offering right now is that brilliant pink with vachetta leathrt, and that just isn't my vibe. Maybe for an SLG, but not for a bag, no matter how small.

[@thrifty-TanyaB]

Very helpful review. Thanks for taking the time!

[@MH65630]

I purchased this bag as well and I am smitten with it! I previously contemplated the LV speedy but when I saw this was coming out from DUYP, I requested for notifications for when it would be released because I knew I’d get a lot more wear out of this Boston bag 😂 I’m the same and have been gravitating to the cotton strap, but I like that we have the option to switch it out with the leather strap. Thanks for another great review! ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, it’s such a great everyday bag and much more carefree than any high end designer. 👌 Enjoy yours!

[@RMBell-ks3je]

I love mine! I have been wanting a Boston bag and this one was perfect for me. No concerns with the craftsmanship with my bag. Love the two straps and the insert which I can also use for other bags too if I need to!

[@helenhall299]

Waiting on my black one to arrive.😊 Very informative video

[@denisemoye495]

What is the opening like compared to the speedy canvas? Wondering as it’s leather, it’ll be more supple and easier to open?

[@Solacefoundandcurated]

I just ordered the DUYP because i LOVE the xs keepall. Thank you for the comparison! ❤

[@miradonfbd]

Great video! Perfect lighting and point of view.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pearlsandwisdom8863]

I love this bag, it is so organized and well constructed. It lays well on the body without feeling too big when worn crossbody. 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I totally agree!

[@elieli4640]

Hello there you think there will be a Chanel O pouch design coming soon? Other than the M pouch? Love this video very informative.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Not that I know of - but perhaps in the future! There are some other designs in the works though for later this year!

[@denisemoye495]

Is the pouch (with the passports) stitched on the bottom folds?

[@tiffshorse13]

Okay, I caved and bought the purple to go with my zip pouch and key pouch! ❤

[@oLi102]

the bags are manufactured in Hong Kong? I am not sure if HK still has any factories. Or are they manufactured by a HK company that has a factory in Mainland China? I would greatly appreciate if the owner can clarify that.

[@kaybee1028]

Thank you for the video! Unfortunately I saw it too late and now it’s sold out - do you know if it will be restocked?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It should be restocked in a few weeks, hopefully! 🤞

[@christinaloo6445]

Such a helpful video! Do you think the braided strap from your DUYP collar would go with this Boston bag? Bought both! 🙌

[@hellocatwalkcity]

If you don’t mind mixing colors, it could be fun! But the braided strap is more brown tone.

[@ohhoney8662]

I got the navy one and waiting for the purple one to arrived soon.🥰 Am looking forward to the pink one that to be released soon!🎉

[@watercolours9492]

I would love this bag in camel brown colour

[@Nicolina99]

Beautiful bag. Also awesome comparison of the LVs. What do you think if the pre-order hot pink one with vachetta? I think it’s Gorg.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I saw the new pink color online and I think it’s so fun!! 💕

[@joannathesinger770]

I'm okay with the brilliant pink for SLG's...but a bit too bright for a handbag IMHO...at least for me.

[@selenaliu4813]

Is this still available ?

[@annetterussell2001]

Love it!! I inverted the insert to make the corners softer against the interior of the bag.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh what a great idea!! 👍

[@idril6643]

These Boston bags are really nice! Where is DUYP located? Do they ship from the states? (I live in Europe).

[@mz_0000]

I ordered a medium pochette a couple months ago, because I was really curious about togo leather and wanted to see/feel it in person (I live in EU). The price was 119 usd. I used Hanna's discount code, which reduced the price to 101.15 usd, but I still had to pay 30 usd for shipping and 28.85 usd tax... I didn't pay anything additional upon delivery, however I received a DHL request for submitting additional details about my purchase and was very clear about already covering all the costs in the detail section. I actually received a nicely crafted bag (no popped stitches, smooth and straight zipper etc.), which, however, did have a couple dents due to the packaging, but after stuffing the bag for a while they kinda sorted themselves out (mostly). To sum up, the bag I got is nice, however due to paying about 60% of its price in costs (and other reasons, like only ghw options etc.), I think it was my first and last purchase.

[@nataliesasha8216]

Ohhh was contemplating between that and the speedy, so for full grain leather, not bad.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s a really nice all-leather option and I was so impressed when I received this. I had ordered a similar style from Coach last year and had to return it due to the heavy weight, sticky zipper and overall chunkiness. This one is so easy and light and carefree. 😊

[@anamartinez7489]

I bought the pink and black one and is gorgeous, leather is so squishy. Only thing I didn’t love was the hardware, it’s cheap but other than that the bag is great! ❤

[@joyvillavicencio3501]

How cute! I love how it packs a punch! 😊

[@selinehermes]

Dressing can be said to be an art, with a satchel and clothes as a complete combination; Style and color can have different effects than clothing.

[@CleanChic]

I still like branded bags 😂 Remind me of my hard earn money, my achievement, my pride. Even mid end ones like Coach, or Tory Burch, Senreve, APC, etc. Something ppl familiar or a bit unfamiliar is fine. I still like to see the logos there ☺️ It’s a beautiful but too plain. Of course the price point is good for the quality 👍🏻 But when it hits $200 uhh.. I understand inflation in every sectors. But those brands have longgg history to build the brands. Unless I just off college. You know what I mean? i’m sure some relate to this feeling. Just being honest ❤❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

No shame in that! We like what we like! 😉

[@denisemoye495]

It’s a shame they don’t do a caramel colour with this bag? I’m sure they might as it’s a popular colour.

[@mykieutran2317]

I love the boston bag and im using it atm, my only down side is the zipper, mine is also wavy but at the end of the zipper, its uneven, so sometime i couldnt open the bag, like it stuck, it take some effort 😅 but overal i do enjoy the bag, with that price, no complaint. Btw the best thing about your collaboration item is the zipper 😂, and i do enjoy the togo leather very much 💚

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It may be worth reaching out to Melodie on Instagram if it really bothers you. She may have some tips for the zipper. Otherwise, glad you’re enjoying the bag! 💕

[@julianajuliana2525]

Honestly, I didn't like mine 😢 but it was an awesome video 😊

[@cececonnie5509]

Why

[@LauraEee]

I wish these bags came in larger, not "mini" sizes. I have a Coach Ruby 25 and that's the smallest I could go (I did put a 3mm felt organizer in it to give it structure, so that takes up some room). Please suggest to Melodie that she offer these bags and her super cute bucket bags in larger sizes!!

[@carole8312]

Agree! Yes please, bigger would be awesome 👌

[@clauaome25]

how cute she is!!!

[@mochibright4517]

I wish it came in red

[@kaitlinbeste]

Omg finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jbbb7418]

The only items I have ever received from DUYP were absolutely horrible, terrible construction and materials, crooked zippers, crooked stitching, buckled “leather”. Equally poor was the lack of customer service. I am happy your experience seems to be better, but they have lost my trust and future dollars.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh no, I’m really sorry to hear this! 😢 I hope your experience was not from any of my collab collection pieces? Because if so, I would really like to know and see how I can help.

[@MiizSerenuhh]

I thought I was the only one. I've purchased a few bags (medium pochette and mini pochette) before. Same issue: stitching and zippers were not the best, sometimes I've had leather issues too meaning the leather was poorly put together leaving "folds/wrinkling" on a should be smooth surface. I've tried stuffing the bag to "iron out" the folded line and nope it's still there. Sucks the fold is very obvious in the front of the bag too. These reasons are actually why I was a bit hesitant to buy the new handbags she's come out with recently. However I do feel the chains are top notch quality, no hesitation whatsoever buying chains and straps and I have purchased numerous chains and straps from her. Highly recommend her straps and chains!

[@jbbb7418]

@MiizSerenuhh exactly! I have seen others with the same issues, it is sad. I feel as though she may send the better quality issues to influencers but the rest of us get poor quality items 😢

[@jbbb7418]

@@hellocatwalkcity oh thank you! No, the items weren’t from your collab, but my experience is the reason I haven’t purchased your collab items, as lovely as they look, I have lost faith and trust in the brand. I only watch your videos with the brand to support your channel. ☺️

[@MiizSerenuhh]

@@jbbb7418 that's exactly my reason why I haven't purchased from the Collab either!! I really want to support Hanna but I haven't had good experiences with DUYP bag qualities. I feel really bad about this actually. Loveeee Hanna's videos!

[@lisaandrews7125]

If DUYP came out with this in camel/caramel, I would be done for! 🤞I love my speedy b 25, but this would top it, easily.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Anything in caramel leather is so delicious! 😂😊

[@politesmile7812]

Do you still wear your Chanel bags and jewelry out? If so, how do you style them nowadays? I got a Chanel 3 months ago and have never worn it because I don’t feel safe in the current economic environment 😢. So much foolishness all around

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I do wear my Chanel bags but usually for evening dinners and such. I wear my jewelry every day - feel naked without it. 😅

[@katharinapabel4690]

Still a fair price ☺️
