It’s the first day of winter!
It’s still pretty warm here in Austin, but I’m not complaining (I’m terrified of a freeze this year, so I’ll say nothing if it’s 90 degrees on Christmas day).
I wanted to share one more product review before the holiday; it’s that point in the season where it’s totally acceptable for you to wrap a picture of the gift with a note that says, “On the way!”
So, I recently got a new vegan leather purse for myself after looking for an affordable but designer-style bag for casual use.
It’s the Nola Stylish Quilted Crossbody Bag by Bostanten.
There are a few reasons this purse caught my eye:
- The price (at the time of this writing, it’s under $50, but full-price it’s under $60)
- The overall look: it has the quilted look I was going for, but also comes with a cute boho strap
- The size; I don’t need much when I’m running errands, and this is small but roomy enough for my essentials
- The material is made of high-quality Vegan leather, and it is available in a variety of colors
- The pockets βthere’s 1 main zipper pocket that contains 1 zip pocket + 1 slip pocket. External with 1 front zipper pocket. I like to keep my phone in the front zipper, and everything else in the main compartment!
Having carried this while running errands and going holiday shopping, I adjusted the strap to wear it as a crossbody. However, you can make the strap as long or as short as you want, so you can carry it in a variety of ways.
I got the black, which I love β I didn’t have a black purse before getting this one! β but the grey (pictured) looks gorgeous, too!
Bostanten has several other small leather crossbody bags aside from this one; any of the “Nola” styles are ones I had my eye on.
These bags are great for all seasons, which I love. I prefer timeless styles that I can wear confidently, knowing they look great with anything, anytime, anywhere!
If you’re done with your holiday shopping, maybe it’s time to grab something for yourself… π
