So I love purses and bags. I get one at the change of each season. And I always have problems finding a bag that works for me. I have two kids so I need space. But I don't want it so huge that I'm knocking things over in the grocery story, or that it's pulling my shoulder out of my socket. I also need my hands to be free. So when Celine agreed to do a review/giveaway of a Blue Calla product I was ecstatic! Blue Calla has amazing purses and bags. Beautiful designer fabrics and she'll do customs! Here are a few items I love!
Here's a gorgeous wristlet. I LOVE this fabric!
And check out this tote bag in Sunflower in Lake.




Check out that cute fabric on the inside! It has a zippered pocket under the flap which is perfect for keys, phone and whatever necessities you have. But it also has two pockets inside perfect for those small items as well! My Kobo actually fits inside that zippered pocket when it's not in it's case.
She even has these toddler bags and they are so cute!

I love the fabric on this clutch. Beautiful!

I selected the Hip Bag in Garden in Grass.

It's awesome cause it has a long strap and can go cross wise across my body.
The quality of this purse is perfect! It looks professionally sewn (and I've bought handmade purses before, so I have experience!) and it hasn't got any loose seams in my weeks of overstuffing. My necessities when going to a store with my children are: one cloth diaper, wet wipes, wet bag, my wallet, phone, keys, lip gloss, and a book (which I usually leave in the car when I go into a store). A hardcover will not fit with all the other items in there. Now that I have a kobo I can fit it in there quite easily (in it's protective case!). With cloth diaper items it's not as flat against me, but it still doesn't look like some giant overstuffed bag. And it's easy to find my wallet, keys, etc. No desperate searching at checkout.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag. I feel like I've finally found the perfect bag for me. I'll definitely be back in the fall (probably late fall, because I LOVE this bag!) to buy my winter bag (just a more wintery fabric). I'll likely get the same style. This works for me and after weeks of using it I have not a single complaint.
As for customer service. Celine is awesome. She has great communication and she's very helpful with questions. No complaints there either!
So you want to buy a bag from Blue Calla? Do it! You won't be sorry!
You want to win one? Well, your in luck! One lucky person will win a bag or purse from Blue Calla. This will be of Celine's choice. But everything is beautiful, so I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever she chooses!

ReplyDeleteEverything is so adorable! I bookmarked the site for my aunt's upcoming birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item would be the Hip Bag in Large Floral in Purple. Only, I'd prefer it in a different color. Maybe blue? Either way, it's gorgeous!
