Recently I was approached by one of my purses, much to my surprise.
"The group has a request," it explained politely.
A request? The group? I confess that I was completely confused, not to mention surprised that my purse could talk.
"We think you need to branch out and buy something new," my handbag explained. "We've seen the way you look at the satchels. And frankly, none of us prefers to be hand carried. Sure, we'll do it in a pinch, but really you'd be doing us all a favor if you'd just buy something better suited to the purpose."
If you think I leaped at the suggestion, you're right.
I had been eyeing satchels lately. Particularly the Ignes Mini Gabrielle, which had caught my eye the first time I'd seen her. Stylish, unique, interesting, and somehow a blend of classy and practical.
Ignes bags are individually crafted in Uruguay and the company offers a variety of styles. The Gabrielle and it's Mini version are two of the most popular. The Mini Gabby, as it's affectionately called by some, measures 14 " L x 9.6 " H x 4" W. The bag zips closed at the top. Inside are 3 pockets that can fit a cell phone, sunglasses, or small notepad. The bag has 5 feet on the bottom and adorable side pockets that are perfect for stashing your keys and lipstick. But my favorite feature is the handles.
The Mini Gabrielle comes with both double braided handles for hand carrying (or holding in the crook of your elbow). I love the handles and I can't even begin to explain why they make holding this bag so fun; you're just going to have to take my word for it. The bag also comes with a detachable cross body strap with an adorable knot detail. It's ingenious, and I love the look.
The Mini Gabrielle intrigued me at first glance. The fine craftsmanship and the little details stole my heart the moment I took her out of her dustbag. This is one bag that fits so many situations and will never go out of style.
My daughter is very slender, which makes the bag appear bigger on her.
