I love having a bag-loving sister! Guess who benefits when she’s feeling generous?! :D

I recently inherited this gently used Cole Haan Alexa bag from her (Thank you!) after she saw the state some of my handbags were in. It’s a soft leather bag in a colourful fuschia pink which is certainly eye-catching and goes down well on days when I’m feeling colourful! The downside is that it can sometimes clash terribly with whatever I am wearing!

I like how it comes with little metal bits at the bottom or “feet” as I often call them as I find it protects the leather bottom of the bag. To me, a good branded bag should always have “feet”! The bag is longer than the normal bags I’m used to but I have found that it works well as it means I have more space to put my rubbish into now! :)

One grouse I have about this bag is that it does not have a zippered top which can be a bit dangerous as things can be easily fished out. However, it has a centre part with a zip which I use to keep my wallet in so it isn’t much problem. I have to admit that the open areas does make it easy for me to store things in or take things out of when I’m in a hurry as I don’t have to fiddle around with zips or buckles. There are 2 little cute inner pockets which I love as well. One of the pockets is slimmer and fits my phone perfectly. The other comes with a thin button flap and is very handy for keeping my access card and house keys!

I have been using this Cole Haan bag for a while already and I have to say that I’ve started falling in love with its big spaces and size. It’s a big change from the tiny bags I used to use and I wonder how I got through with such tiny bags to hold all my rubbish in! I have also received several compliments on this fuschia bag, from guys whom I thought never noticed such things! It must be the eye-catching colour! :)

Thanks again sis! :) Look forward to anymore “rejects”! Tee-hee…
