Today, I have breaking news in the world of handbags, much more particularly work BAGS, as well as you’re going to want to hear me out on this one.
Here’s the thing: I’m all about a traditional tote, however in some cases I just don’t want my work bag to shout “STANDARD-ISSUE work TOTE” particularly when I’m going from work to play. You feel me?
However, I’ve always felt that discovering a bag that’s both practical for work as well as trendy outside the office is next to impossible. You have to choose: either forego the smooth purses you like as well as carry around a huge carry that correctly homes your laptop as well as other necessities, OR abandon practicality in the name of personal style (and high quality leather). Talk about a Sophie’s option situation, amiright?
Deep breath.
My friends, that was then, as well as this is now. Today is a new day. Cue Senreve, a brand that my buddy Wendy started with a couple other like-minded working women that were fed up with the existing (lack of) options. Senreve is a high-end purse line that lastly solves this working woman conundrum with a collection of work-to-play bags that marry luxury as well as utility without compromising on either (foreal). These things are like real-life transformers made from authentic Italian leather. And, somehow, they handled to make them at a cost point that doesn’t need you to take out a second mortgage. Witchcraft!
Today, I’m bring their newest style, the small Maestra, however you have to inspect out their full line-up, including the routine sized Maestra bag. What I like many about this bag is the absurd amount of organization and the flexibility of design. Both bags have a whopping seven interior pockets, which make staying organized a breeze (even for me, which is stating something…) and both bags can be carried THREE different ways. The adjustable, detachable strap enables the bag to be used as a crossbody bag, a backpack (!!!) or a top-handle satchel. GENIUS.
I chose the small Maestra since I frequently just bring my iPad to as well as from work as well as meetings—and, of course, the bag not only has an interior pocket that fits my iPad, however the pocket is really padded as well as particularly developed to home as well as safeguard tablets. If you’re searching for a bag with sufficient space for a full-sized laptop, the larger Maestra is the method to go—its big padded pocket can home a 13″ laptop. Whatever size you choose, rest-assured no detail has been overlooked. Every inch of this thing from the pale blue micro-suede interior to the gold feet on the bottom of the bag (so the leather doesn’t scratch when you set it down) to the minimalistic branding on the side gusset is just perfect.
Not only is this charm ideal for work or play, however the pockets as well as flexibility make it fantastic for traveling as well. I’m a huge fan of this marine blue shade which is ideal for fall, however you have to inspect out their full variety of colors. We’re speaking ice blue, blush pink, forest green, coral, tangerine, cream, black, you name it. And finest of all, the bag’s high quality is absolutely on par with other designer purses I own (Senreve makes all of their bags in Italy with authentic Italian leather), however it’s a fraction of the price.
So there you have it: A purse that’s on trend, beautiful, flexible as well as (plot twist!) functional, all at a cost point that doesn’t provide me acid reflux. What a time to be alive.
