As Christmas fast approached I decided I would post one brand spotlight a week to help people with Christmas presents annnd to help people make their own Christmas lists.
This weeks brand spotlight is on MansurGavriel. If you are a handbag addict like myself they probably came across your radar when they released their now infamous bucket bag in Cammello/Ballerine and Black/Flamma. These original Mansur bags sold out so quickly it wasn’t even funny and sparked tons of knock-offs from brands like Forever 21. But if you haven’t checked on MG since the release of these bags you are missing out.
Why you should buy a MG bag:
1- MG has really branched out in the last couple of years in terms of style, colors, sizes, and materials. Most styles now come in an array of sizes, colors and materials. Take for example the classic bucket bag. The bag now comes in four sizes- regular, mini, mini mini and baby. It comes in patent leather, suede, tumbled leather, calf skin leather and the classic vegetable leather.
2- The price point is reasonable for the quality of bag. The vegetable leather is the cheapest option and personally my favorite as it stays the more structured. My second favorite is the calf leather but recently I have been eyeing a tumbled leather sun bag.
3- The quality of the bag is amazing! For the price point the bags are really well made and in my opinion they wear really well. I love how the vegetable leather tans and ages especially the cammello! My only warning is to be careful around water and oils. Water can be somewhat buffed out of the bag with a good cleaner and conditioner but I have had no luck getting out oils.
These are my personal favorites right now!
