Miche Caracas Classic Handbag Review

Miche Caracas Handbag

The opportunity to try out the Miche Caracas handbag came at a really interesting point in my journey as a mother. My youngest just turned one and because my middle child and my youngest were so close together I spent a good deal of time in frumpy, mommy mode. I’m sure some of you know it — that stage between maternity clothes and real clothes, nursing bras and Victoria’s Secret, diaper bags and real purses! I’m not exactly sure when I woke up and realized that I was tired of farming my body to my children (don’t get me wrong, I love my girls and I have enjoyed each pregnancy and breastfeeding experience, but there comes a time when it’s ok to take back what is mine). Anyway, this purse found me at the same time that I weaned my youngest and bought a real bra again. I know, it’s silly, but a new purse and bra and I felt like a completely new woman.

So this bag, it’s everything I never knew I always wanted in a bag! The color is so me (for the record, I liked the mint family of greens long before they were popular, but I digress). The size is just big enough to hold my wallet and a few personals, but NO DIAPERS! Again, I love my kids and will likely be having a diaper bag for a few more years, but this makes me feel like I have a little independence. Plus, Miche is known for its interchangeable parts and the Caracas bag did not disappoint. It has the option for interchangeable covers, so if tomorrow, I don’t feel like mint, well then maybe it’ll be silver, or hot pink; point is, I have options! I don’t know, but for me this purse is freedom, and personality, and fun, and I LOVE IT!!

For my bag, I chose the classic bag with the Caracas cover. I love the gunmetal hardware because it feels like a nod to my younger days, without screaming that I’m feeling each and every one of my thirty years today. I had the opportunity to choose between black and brown for the base bag. I wear a lot more black than brown, so black it is. I really like that the base bag came with straps to that I have options from the off. Additionally, the covers go on with magnets so there is no risk of parts wearing out like they might if the bags were made with snaps or velcro.

As previously mentioned, the covers are interchangeable, this means that if I have the mint cover on and suddenly I get the urge to have yellow, I can make it happen in a matter of seconds. Something I really appreciate about this particular cover, is that it has the extra side elastic that adds two more pockets when the cover is on the bag. The straps are a great length for me, but hey, if it’s not for you, get the longer ones, or shorter. Ultimately, this bag has personality coming out of its ears, and you can make it totally your own!

Another thoughtful feature of this bag are the pockets inside. I am a woman who likes her organization and a few pockets are great. There are nice and compact to the side but large enough to hold a cell phone, Chapstick, and a pack of gum. If that’s not enough pockets for you they offer a purse organizer that fits neatly inside your bag.

The bottom line, for me, is this bag is a statement of who I am as a woman. It makes me feel pretty and it has an abundance of utility. And really, what more could you ask for in a bag?

Buy It

You can pick up this bag or any other Miche product from theMiche website or from a local consultant. Trust me when I say, plan to look around for awhile. I know it took me a good amount of time to decide which bag I really wanted!
