Hi everyone:
It’s been about a month since I have been playing with my Teddy Blake Kate 12″ handbags. You probably noticed, if you follow me on Instagram or if you meet me in the Street. I have been -not testing – but rather enjoying my handbag. Read my initial thoughts here
What I love about the brand
The Kate Stampatto handbag comes with a shoulder strap. I love this option because there are sometimes when I just need to put my purse on my shoulder quickly to get it out of the way so I can have my hands full with other stuff. I just leave the shoulder strap on mine and if I carry it on my wrists I like the look the hanging strap gives the bag. It’s made of super soft pebble tan calf leather that makes every inch of the bag feel absolutely luxurious (would also love this bag in Bordo, light gray, brown, or camel).
Another favorite feature of mine is the expandable center compartment. I am a girl that puts a lot of stuff in her bag on a daily basis so by undoing the snaps I can let the bag expand and it’s very easy to get in and out of it. In fact, I decided to leave it unsnapped as I think it gives it a more effortlessly chic look. For more formal occasions, I will, of course, keep it snapped.
The expandable 17-23″ shoulder strap is so beautiful and very comfortable and the handle drop is 3.5″ so it’s just perfect for me to carry in my hand, slide on my wrist, or throw over my shoulder with the longer shoulder strap.
As I said, I carry lots of stuff with me at all times and I love that everything fits PERFECTLY. I have already brought this bag everywhere with me while running errands and it was never too bulky or in the way of me.
Final Thoughts
I highly recommend considering this brand next time you are looking for a nice leather bag. The craftsmanship is exceptional and the handbags look very expensive. People will stop you and ask about it.
With that said, structured handbags best suit my lifestyle and best suit my needs when it comes to bringing things to the office with me like my agenda, checklists, and journals, or even just to give whatever bag I carry a nice polished look. That’s why the Teddy Blake Kate Stampatto handbag is my new favorite bag and I plan to carry it for months and months.
What do you look for in a handbag? Do you own a Teddy Blake? if so which one? Personally, my current wishlist includes the Lola, the Georgia, the Ava, and another Kate. Comment below and let me know,
Thanks for stopping by,
