I am one of those people who cannot be bothered switching out my handbags, so I wear the same bag over and over again for years, and that all year long! Sadly, my beloved bag I have been using for the last couple of years has seen better days so I was on the hunt for a new one. I decided to stop at Marshalls and was about to leave empty-handed until I spotted this Adrienne Vittadini Crossbody Bag tucked at the back of a rack. I was immediately drawn to its shape, size and colour, and I knew it was a done deal once I tried it on. This style is unlike anything I've owned before, and I've been enjoying it so much that I figured I would feature it in a What's In My Bag since it's been a while since I've shared one! I love seeing what are others' on-the-go essentials, so I hope you enjoy!
I got a really good deal on this bag. It retailed for close to $200 and I snagged it for just under $40. The full name is the Adrienne Vittadini Pebble Grain Flap Top Crossbody, and I got it in Taupe. If you know me, you know I mostly dress in neutral colours, so I always gravitate towards beige, grey, black and brown handbags since they pair well with any outfit. I had never come across this designer before and was pleased to find out that this bag is 100% synthetic, something I look for when purchasing clothing, shoes and handbags.
I like that it has a long, adjustable strap and that it sits comfortably on my shoulder. The outside design is very sleek and classic, and the material has a pebble grain texture. Despite not having any outside zippers or pockets (something I usually prefer), this one is still easily accessible and has good compartmentalization to keep your belongings organized.
The main section is zipperless, and as you can see the flap is basically a section of its own, as it has a zipper and you can add a lot of things to it, with them getting tucked away at the back of the bag. The bag features a magnetic clasp, and I have not had any issue with stuff falling out as it is very tight and secure. There is also a zippered pocket at the back of the main compartment, and a slit pocket to hold a few more things at the inner front.
The hardware of this bag is all gold, including the designer's logo which can be seen on the front.
I personally find crossbody bags to be the most comfortable, and since I am on the taller side, I have the clasp set to the longest length so that the bag falls by my hip.
"What does this girl carry in her bag?" you wonder. Well, I actually just stick to the basics! They all fit perfectly inside this compact crossbody.

I'm loving the inside of this purse. So comfortable and stylish!Perfect for the working mama.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so cute! I love all the storage, and I love the cross body design. I rarely use anything other than cross body.
ReplyDeleteI too am very lazy to switch bags. But lately my bags have been getting spoilt very soon because I carry not only my stuff but some of my daughter’s stuff and so i keep switching to not let one bag take the whole load.
ReplyDeleteNice bag ..stylish..elegant and good space..
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish bag! I actually love that kind of bag. It's really match when you are hanging out with your friends.
ReplyDeleteYou've really got a bargain buying this bag so cheap. It looks very pretty, perfect to travel with as it's not too big and not too small either.
ReplyDeleteI love that bag! I don't know what I love more the color or the style! I would absolutely use and wear this bag all the time.
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! Super stylish too! You fit much more inside than I thought was possible, which makes it the perfect size for me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a lovely bag! You carry some great stuff. I mostly just have my wallet, a checkbook, old candy, and change in mind. Plus my phone!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great purse, you got there. sleek and stylish, and spacious too.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag. I am like you and I use the same bag forever until it's time to replace it. I'd end up leaving something important if I switched bags with outfits.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way with my bags. It's just about time for me to update mine. It's getting pretty old. This bag is really cute! I may have to get one for myself!

ReplyDeleteFirst I love the color as it matches to most outfit and can be use as office or casual. The second thing I like about this bag is it can hold a lot of stuff. Great for traveling as it is a crossbody.
ReplyDeleteVery cute bag! Thank you for sharing what's in your purse! Always interesting to see what people hide in those things.
ReplyDeleteMy bag is always heavy because I apparently put a lot of “essentials”: wet wipes, tissue, alcohol, sunglasses, car keys, wallet, Kindle, gums, hair clamp, coin purse (this one can get really heavy) and my phone. Whew! Those are my essentials. 😁
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for a crossbody bag. That one is really stunning.
ReplyDeleteI also stick with basic stuff and most of the time I only use one bag. lol! I love your bag, the color and style are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice bag! I switch bags every few months when I get the itch, but I definitely don't switch per outfit or anything. I'm not that fashionable... Or motivated. lol
ReplyDeleteI am the same way!! Only one bag for me until it dies! lol I love this one. It's definitely my style not too big or too small and I love the cross body ease of carrying it.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute bag! I have a couple of bags I use, but they're either black or purple - ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI use a bag for the whole season. I love big bags, or at least those where you can put everything you need for two kids :) This one looks great and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI like this pretty bag because it's simple and beautiful. It also looks very comfortable to wear.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great steal! I really like the color of this bag. It can go well with so many outfits.

ReplyDeleteThis bag is so pretty! Loving the color! It is quite chic and so versatile! You can style it in so many ways!
ReplyDeleteTo start with, that bag is so pretty; I love its shade and it's design too. I'd carry it all time long too for sure and it's even more convenient since it can carry as much!
ReplyDeleteI love a good crossbody bag. It's my go-to bag wherever I go. That one is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI also love a great neutral crossbody bag! I’ve learned over the years to really trim down what I carry with me to just the essentials like you have!
ReplyDeleteI like crossbody bags too. I think it is more convenient to use. Love the color of this bag!
ReplyDeleteI love this bag, it is so cute! I have actually been looking for a cross shoulder bag for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI love the crossbody bag! It's a great color and surprisingly fits a lot of daily essentials.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of neutral color handbags. They are so easy to match. My daughter loves crossbody bags more than me.
ReplyDeleteOh my god! I too use the same bag over and over for ages. When I do buy I ensure it has space for all my things, is very sturdy and is of a nuetral colour so I could wear it with any dress.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is super cute! Such a classy look that can be dressed up or down and is a neutral colour so it goes with everything. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI really love this bag. I am a big fan of crossbody bags and this one is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI prefer a crossbody bag and this one looks like a good one!

ReplyDeleteI like Crossbody bags too, I like a long strap and a flap closure. I love the looks of this one, it's exactly what I'm looking for! It looks like is holds quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove the color, style and texture of the bag. Sad to say I have a lot of bags and love them all. But I am just to lazy to change bags. I have 2 bags that I change out in the summer one a larger one and the other smaller. You should rethink keeping all the keys etc on the same ring.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the bag, it so style and just the right size
