Here's my Hand Maid by Michelle Frantz review. First, shipping was pretty quick...especially with the Hurricane Rita delay. The color is pretty true to the picture:
I was a little disappointed by the leather but I think that's just cause I've become spoiled by my buttery soft Bulga. Although, the stiffer leather does hold the structured shape better...so I guess that makes sense. The construction seems very well made...no loose threads or anything. I LOVE the size. I was a little worried it would be small but it's the perfect size for hauling my everyday load (planner, wallet, keys, work ID, bottle water, phone, random lip glosses ). I also love the bright blue satin lining..so pretty. Oh, and this purse has three compartments...the zipped main one, and two slots on either side of the zipped one. And I love that the little feet on this purse helps it 'stand' up and not lean around and get dirty.
Whew..that was a long review. Overall, I'm happy with it. And would recommend it if you've had your eye on it too.
thanks for the review. i am still thinking of that bag. it's such a gorgeous color and reasonably priced.
