If you know me, you'll be well aware that I am an absolute sucker for a nice handbag. I've gone a bit beyond buying cheap ones from supermarkets or cheaper fashion brands, not that there's anything wrong with that, I just wanted a bag that was of excellent quality that I knew I would use for years to come.
I wanted something classic, but not a bag that was too big or too small. I thought that the size of this handbag was perfect. I then spotted that there was a matching coin purse. I needed a new card holder because mine was tatty and old, but it needed to be small enough to fit into my Ted Baker bag, which is teeny tiny and perfect for a night on the town.
So not only did this one match the new handbag I'd bought, but it also fit perfectly into my small Ted Baker bag. So let me show you my new handbag and coin purse in more detail, because that's exactly what you're here for!
Radley Angel Lane zip-around grab bag
This bag was the perfect purchase for me. I wanted a bag that wasn't too big and that wasn't too small. The great thing about this bag is that, although it comes with handy grab handles, it also comes equipped with a strap, so I can wear it over my shoulder or as a cross-body bag, if needed.
It's smart enough that it can be taken from day to night. Also, the fact that it's black means that it will go with literally any outfit. It also comes with three separate compartments, which is normal for a Radley bag this size.
My purple Radley shoulder bag is the same.
The two compartments on the front and the bag are more like slip pockets and do not have a zip. The middle compartment, however, can be closed off with a zip that's adorned with gold hardware. In fact, all of the hardware on this bag is gold, making for an even more classic style.
There's also another, smaller slip pocket on the back of the bag - perfect for slotting a phone into if you're on the go. Basically, I thought this would make for the perfect carry on bag for our trip away next year. It's big enough to fit loads of different things in that you'd need in your carry on, even my iPad!
I couldn't have chosen a more suitable everyday bag that can also be used to add a sophisticated edge to an outfit in the evening. Not only is it functional, but it's 100% leather and looks the part. I'm hoping that it will last me for years and years, being leather. It should wear nicely as well, so my hopes are high for this one :) If you're interested in seeing it online, or to buy it yourself, take a look at the link I've left below for you.
Radley Angel Lane zip-top coin purse
While I was browsing for the perfect bag to use and incorporate into my collection, I was looking for a coin purse or a card holder - whichever one was small enough to fit into my Ted Baker bag, which is super small. Eventually I came across this one, and guess what?
It matched my new bag! Of course I jumped at the chance to buy it, so into my basket it went. I love that it's a matching duo. My normal purse would have been a little bit too big to put into this bag, but it would fit, in fairness.
Either way, I had to have the matching accessory, but if I wasn't looking for one, I wouldn't have taken the plunge. Just like the handbag, it too is leather and smells incredible. It feels like a quality purse as well, so I'm hoping that it will also last for years to come.
