Madewell collection of handbags, transport totes, and crossbody bags

[@bekahbubbles]

I really appreciated this video! I just ordered my first madewell bag (zip top medium transport tote in saddle) and wanted to see the difference in a few different styles! You have a lovely collection :)

[@TheHeidibrooke]

bekahbee Awesome! I think you’ll love your new medium transport! Thanks so much for watching. ☺️

[@user-lh4vh8lv7k]

Love to see a video where you try them on. Gives an idea of how they fall when worn or carried.

[@donnawolfe8682]

Just purchased the small mini crossbody and will be perfect for me. I’m so done with large bags, retired now, and who needs to carry that much stuff anymore. My musts are an outside pocket and a zip pocket inside for personal items. This will be perfect for me. You have a nice variety of bags.

[@TheHeidibrooke]

donna wolfe Thanks! That makes sense to me! I totally understand a lightweight everyday carry. I’ve been carrying smaller bags as well. Love the freedom, lol. Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@Katy809RD]

Thanks for the review? Exactly what I wanted to see, wanted to know the quality of the brand. I used to buy so many handbags just because they were cute, now I am trying to buy only great quality ones. I used to keep my handbag so organized like yours, I am jealous now, When I finish watching the video, will organize my bag 😂❤️

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Kathy809RD I’m so glad you found it helpful. I always worry that I’m just babbling, lol. Thank you for your support and kindness! 🥰

@@TheHeidibrooke Sorry I meant "Thanks for the review!"* LOL I make videos some times and I worry about the same thing, you're not alone!

[@GodIsWithUs4LIFE]

They gave 25% off sale going on right now and this video helped me pick my first madewell bag. Very helpful video and thank you for sharing!!!

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Awesome!! So happy this video helped you decide. Decisions are so hard when it comes to bags! So many pretty ones. 🥰

[@GodIsWithUs4LIFE]

@@TheHeidibrooke that's true, I appreciate 🙏

[@elf7846]

Thank you so much! Your video helped convince me to get the transport tote bag instead of the zippered version! Now I need to decide between the black and saddle tan color 😅

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Awesome, so glad I could help you decide! I don’t have any black Madewell bags but they are so pretty! 🥰

[@brandynelles7440]

This was SO helpful...thank you. 👍

[@TheHeidibrooke]

You’re so welcome, Brandy! I love hearing this! 🥰

I’m on the fence between a Portland leather goods mini cb vs the madewell small transport. In your opinion how do they compare to one another? Which do you prefer? The colors I’m considering are coldbrew and the English saddle

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Hi Ren! Between those two brands, Portland Leather will be superior in quality. Coldbrew is a soft, pebbled, chrome tanned leather that will handle any type of weather. Madewell English Saddle is pretty but I have noticed a decrease in their quality lately. It’s a thinner, semi veg tan leather that will darken and patina with age (which is lovely) but it’s also susceptible to stains and water marks. Hope this helps! 🥰

[@babadooki3]

@@TheHeidibrooke I really appreciate your response! You’ve convinced me on the PLG, thank you!

[@ewaniyo2310]

Try the Portland Leather Goods. I highly recommend. And they have life time warranty!

[@TheHeidibrooke]

I have some reviews on their bags as well! 🥰 Very nice bags! 🥰

[@rachelfew3762]

Did you spray your bag with leather protector?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Rachel, Hi! I actually just treated my medium transport tote with Apple leather conditioner, and Apple rain guard. I’m hoping it keeps the bag safe, if I get caught in the rain. 🌧

[@carrierogers7475]

Did you get the monogramming in large lettering or small? Do you think the monogram would look ok with just first and last initial? My first, middle, and last spell CAR so I was thinking CR looked better??

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Carrie Rogers Yes, I got the large gold embossing. I think it adds special flair to the bag. 🤩 I have seen another bag, embossed with only two initials and I think it looks just as good, maybe even a tad more professional looking. Happy shopping! Thanks for watching! 💓

[@carrierogers7475]

Leatherhappy awesome thank you!! 😊

[@stephanieelizabeth5468]

Did you get the large monogram for all the sizes?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Yes, whenever I ordered a monogram, I ordered the large size. 🥰

[@kikeyrivas7955]

How the pouch clutch work for you? (For makeup) 😊

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Kikey Rivas Works great! I use one pouch for cosmetics and the other pouch is for misc items, such as OTC meds, gum, mints, nail care, etc. The pouches are perfect for makeup.

[@baglovestyle]

You should model it for us

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Baglovestyle I have since added several Madewell bags to my collection. I am planning to do an updated video soon. I’d be happy to include some mod shots. Thanks for watching.

Are you from Cincinnati area? Spotted the kings island reference

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Yes, and I love Kings Island.

[@Anthony_1000]

Hey ! What size did you get for the zip top bag ?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

That’s a small transport crossbody tote. Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@elsiepaolini6729]

Did you show the madewell sydney crossbody bag, if so can you show that video again

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Elsie paolini I didn’t make any mod shots, unfortunately. I’m 5’5” and it hits me a little below the hip, if that helps. 😊

[@elsiepaolini6729]

@@TheHeidibrooke ok ty for your resonse 👍🤗

[@stephaniemaronde6893]

Could you share the fb group you mentioned where you bought the small tote?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Stephanie Maronde Sure! It’s J Crew & Madewell Buy, Sell, and Trade. 🤗

[@KatelynGorham]

Can you fit the pouch in the mini?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Yes, the pouch does fit inside the mid size mini (the one with the gray lining) and zip closure. However, it doesn’t fit inside the smaller mini, the unlined bag. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@TinaRNonvocals]

Did you experience transfer in any of them?

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Tina Siuagan I’ve never had any color transfer on any of my Madewell bags.

[@TinaRNonvocals]

@@TheHeidibrooke Thank you for that info. I was actually worried about this so I had to defer getting a preloved transport tote from an online seller. But because of your comment here, I jumped right in and got the tote. Lol. Thank you for your insights. It helped me make a decision. I am so happy with my purchase. :)

[@TheHeidibrooke]

Tina Siuagan Awesome! Enjoy your new Madewell! Just keep the hand sanitizer far away! Lol.

[@TinaRNonvocals]

@@TheHeidibrooke Hahaha... I will. Thanks for telling us!
