Promising review: "This bag PERFECTLY fits my wallet, phone, keys, and sunglasses. For a college kid on the go, it's small enough to fit well in my backpack so I don't have to take all of those things in and out of my backpack when I want to go out. Looks cute with pretty much all my outfits. I LOVE IT!"Ā ā Sophie C.

5. A Leatherology handbag that can be personalized with your initials to make it feel one-of-a-kind. It has a higher price point than other items on this list, but it's made from full grain leather and durable gold hardware.Ā
Leatherology is known for their personalized leather goods, from handbags and backpacks to mouse pads and passport holders. They currently offer three different monogram designs: deboss personalization, hand painted personalization, or Trapunto (this is actually an old quilting technique...you can see how it looks in the photos above).Ā
I've owned my Leatherology handbag for more than seven months and the bag looks brand new. Not a scratch or scuff in sight! The leather is buttery soft and I love the roomy interior pocket for stashing my wallet and/or mess of credit cards lol. There's also a removable crossbody strap and magnetic closure to keep everything nestled inside. It's the perfect size for everyday wear and I legit get compliments every single time I wear it. š P.S.Ā ā this makes a great gift because personalized gifts > everything else.Ā

"Iām not the type to buy purses/bags from Amazon, but really wanted to try out this trend and I am SO PLEASED. The biggest factor to me when I was picking which one to buy was one that had GOLD hardware because I only wear gold jewelry. Every other bag I saw on Amazon had silver hardware, which I just did not want. The quality in this bag for the price is really great! No weird smell, obviously the zipper could be better but Iām really not complaining for a $25 bag LOL. It comes with a gold chain so you can wear it crossbody, and also the inside can fit SO MUCH. Itās such a great size, Iām petite and it doesnāt overwhelm my body when I wear it on my shoulder. Literally my favorite purchase of the YEAR. Buy this my trendy queens!!!!!" ājennyxatl
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in 10 colors and two styles).

Radley LondonĀ is a London-based brand (dating back to the 1980s!) that makes handbags, footwear, and accessories. While the majority of their styles are made from genuine leather, they're experimenting with sustainable non-leather alternatives that are better for the planet.Ā
I also own this bag and use it alllll the time. The size is perfect because it fits the essentials but isnāt big enough for me to pack things I really donāt need (hi, my name is Katherine and Iām an over packer). š The drawstring top is super cute and I LOVE the gold hardware. The crossbody strap is a bit long for me, so I havenāt been using it, but I prefer the look of carrying a top handle bag anyways! If youāre on the fence, buy it!!! Itās a beautiful, well-made bag that you can take anywhere.Ā
