Antik Batik “Juddy Fringed Bag”

This is what a fringed bag should look like. Everything about it looks and feels just right and I’m going to enjoy every single moment of writing about it. It’s not too big, but still big enough to look beautiful with the fringe details on the simple leather body. I don’t like bags that have the whole body fringed - fringes should be an extra detail on the bag and only in that case they work their magic as far as I’m concerned. Then comes the flap detail which goes perfectly with the cross body style of this bag because it gives the bag a comfy and laid back look which I just adore. It’s wearabilty is unquestionable, whether we’re talking about a night out or a casual Sunday get together. The gold toned charm gives the bag an extra playful note which is ok, even though you might have to think twice with the jewelry so you don’t overdo it. The bag is made of colored leather and the long shoulder strap is braided. Interior is featured with one zip pocket and secured with magnetic snap closure.

Seeing me write about Antik Batik might come as a surprise to those of you who are familliar with my obsession with LV and other premier brands, but this one really got to me and I had to share!

Louis Vuitton “Neo Cabby”

This town bag comes in two colours and two sizes. You can choose between GM and MM size and blue or black denim. You don’t have to worry too much over deciding which size to get because the shape of the bag is flattering anyone’s frame.

The monogram denim canvas is given a vintage look by bleaching and stonewashing. Due to that procedure, small differences in colour between the same products are normal and tolerable. If you notice that the logo is brownish and has dirty look though, you should go back to the LV store for comparison, and if your bag is defected you will be given a new one. The denim canvas is strong and durable, but there are some things that you can do to prolong your bag’s good looks. Louis Vuitton on its official site recomended how to handle the bag so check it out.

After sharing some basic info, its time to get personal because I can not look at this bag or write about it without saying I am utterly and totally enchanted with it since the first time i saw it. I had that feeling you all “bagddicted” people have when you see a bag that is totally “YOU” … Chills down my spine… Hand-held? No problem…

Since both MM and GM have same size handles, you might have problem putting those over your shoulder if your frame isn’t rather petit. But carrying it over the crook of the elbow gives you that chic and comfy look, the look this bag is made for.

About the adjustible and removable strap - in blue denim version the strap comes in natural cowhide trimmings and grained black calf leather in black denim version. Personally, the grained black calf leather is exceptional. The GM has a longer strap than MM which allowes you to wear GM as a messenger bag, although that doesn’t mean you can’t wear MM as a messanger bag too. You can, but it’s not as snug… I find it not so appealing to wear MM on a strap as a messenger bag not because the strap is short, but because the buckle on the strap rubbing on my collar bone incommodes me. But then again, the bag looks great having it carelessly fall over. Adjustable side buckle straps allow you to expand your bag for a bit if necessary. This bag also features a zipper closure, aged-gold brass pieces and saffron microfiber lining. Inside there is a patched pocket and a cellphone pocket.

You can’t wear this bag the wrong way, you just have to find a way that fits you best because this bag is designed to transform and match different styles and in different occasions.
Less noticable logo won’t be as “head turning” as Louis Voutiion Mirage Speedy will, but be sure that those who recognize the bag you are carrying will also recognize you as a chic, free-ranged woman who knows how to express herself.
