HONEST REVIEW ON MY CONTEMPORARY HANDBAG COLLECTION 👜 Do they compare to luxury brands?!

[@fiorellageno3797]

I have the Basile smooth leather top grain, not plasticy but brighter and fresher and I love it. I do think it wears well and easy to clean, but to each her own.

Thank you for sharing. 💗

Hi May❤ I loved this video! I think Polene and Straphberry are my favorite contemporary brands right now, but I’ve heard great things about Demellier, Atelier Auguste and Aspinal of London. Bastile was really a disappointment but I really think it was the color I chose. Thank you for sharing another amazing video❤

[@mrsleyva]

Hi Carol, Again Im so sad that happened to you. I have one of the ones you mentioned coming for a review soon 😉

[@HandbagFoodie]

Always love a good spotlight on a contemporary brand! As you know you influenced me to get my first Naghedi! Thanks for sharing! 🩵

[@mrsleyva]

I agree 😍 I cannot wait for you to get it!

Hi May. I have the mini Swann in fuchsia from Fleuron, the color is perfect for summer and the quality of the leather is great.

[@mrsleyva]

Oh that is a beautiful color 💗 Congrats! I have been intrigued by this brand

Great video May. Next time I go to Nordstrom I want to check out some Strathberry handbags. The leather looks amazing and they release some new styles I’m interested in.

[@mrsleyva]

Hi Mel, thank you. Yes, I think you should try it out. The leather is honestly such great quality.

Hi May! Question about your Basile. Has your clasp tarnished yet? Sadly mine has shown wear and tear within the first 2 weeks of using it. I was curious. I love your black one!

[@mrsleyva]

Hi, She hasnt at all. Actually none of the hardware has 😢 Im sorry to hear that about yours.

[@AlefromSG]

I want your entire collection! 😭

[@mrsleyva]

Ive been building it for many many years 💗

Tu colección es espectacular de verdad me gustó mucho la Basile es un estilo muy versátil para mi gusto gracias por tus buenos videos

[@mrsleyva]

I have the Parisa Wang and feel the same way, the leather feels treated and tough. The design is lovely, but I don't carry it and will probably sell it because it just feels cheap.

[@mrsleyva]

I think its a diff texture to the leather. I still believe it will be a durable handbag & think its a great option for the price 🙂

[@tibinaba]

When I got a Parisa Wang bag, it felt like that too.

[@anafeller4069]

What is the weight of the Basile bag?

[@mrsleyva]

It weights 1.71 lbs 🙂

[@anafeller4069]

@@mrsleyva Holy moly, that's heavy! Thank you for your answer. I've been eyeing the Strathberry Mosaic in Nano and watched your review. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is their "signature" bar. I think it looks weird, like piercing metal. Would you say the bag is worth it? I want to be able to carry it in everyday situations. I'm also trying to decide between the Songmont Luna and Polene Dix? Which is lighter and easier to use? Thanks again!

[@mrsleyva]

@anafeller4069 Hi, ohhh I actually love the signature bar but I can totally see what you mean 😅 I think the bag is worth it, for an everyday option I would go for the regular size as it will be more comfortable to carry all your necessities. I cant help with the last two options as I dont own either 😕
