Women’s Canvas and Leather Shoulder Bag from Novica – Review and $50 GC Giveaway
Novica, in association with National Geographic, works directly with thousands of master artisans in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to bring their beautiful creations and art, and their stories to collectors worldwide.
When you shop at Novica you will find silk fans, batik shawls, women’s jewelry, men’s jewelry, women’s clothing, women’s accessories, home decor, art and paintings, and even some gorgeous Brazilian soda-pop tab belts.
My Review: For my review I received the Cotton and Leather Accent Shoulder Bag in a pretty Darjeeling Gold color. The shoulder bag is made out of a heavy duty cotton canvas but is trimmed in black leather, including the black leather shoulder straps. The bag measures 13.0″ high by 19.3″ wide by 3.9″ in depth. The shoulder straps measure 24.8″ long by 1″ wide. The shoulder bag is more of the size of a tote bag, so you can really fit a lot of stuff inside it. I think it would also make a great diaper bag for the mom who likes to look stylish!
The bag features a flat bottom and gold-toned metal hardware. The front of the bag features a zipper closure black leather pocket which would be great for holding your keys or cell phone (things you want to get to quickly). The inside of the bag is fully lined in the same color of Darjeeling Gold. Along the front inside wall of the bag you will find 2 small open-style pockets and alongside the back wall you will find a little larger open-style pocket. These pockets are great for securing and organizing all those “little” things we carry around.
Everything about this canvas and leather shoulder bag speaks quality! I love how roomy this bag is and I will be using it as my travel bag to hold my cosmetics, shoes, magazines, water bottles, etc. It’s a nice quality piece for sure!
The shoulder bag was made by an artist living in India named Varun Manchanda who loves working with canvas and leather. You can find a full range of this artist’s products when you shop at Novica and you can read his bio when visiting the site.
Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win a $50.00 e-gift certificate to Novica!

Beautiful Anti-Theft Cross Body Shoulder Bag by Pacsafe Review and Sling Purse Giveaway
Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Pacsafe who makes a wonderful line of anti-theft travel gear; handbags, purses, digi pouches, anti-theft backpacks, shoulder bags, wallets, laptop bags, day bags, etc. All of the Pacsafe travel products feature various anti-theft deterrents.
My Review: The generous folks over at Pacsafe sent me their Slingsafe 200 GII Cross Body Shoulder Bag to review for all of you. The shoulder bag is available in 3 classic colors: Black, Cypress and Sky Blue. It measures 12.6″ by 14.6″ by 2.0″ in size. The adjustable strap goes from 26.4″ up to 48.8″ in length.
This Anti-Theft Handbag Features:
• eXomesh® slashguards in lower front, side and bottom panels
• Slashproof detachable Carrysafe® shoulder strap
• Carrysafe® strap allows the bag to anchor to a secure fixture.
• Smart zipper security™
• RFID-blocking pocket
• Turn & lock strap hook™
• Smart zipper security™
• Made out of Water repellent nylon
• Printed liner
• Zippered main compartment
• Zippered internal pocket
The handbag has 5 anti-theft deterrents which I will explain in more detail.
• Outsmart Bag Slashers ExoMesh SlashGuards – Body panels of the bag have built-in stainless steel wire mesh panels which prevents contents falling out if the bag is cut by a thief.
• Outsmart Strap Slashers Slashproof CarrySafe Strap – The shoulder strap is reinforced with stainless steel wire which prevents it being easily cut so that the bag can’t be easily taken by a thief.
• Outsmart Pickpockets Smart Zipper Security – Zipper pullers can be attached to discreet security hooks to prevent pickpockets reaching into your bag.
• Outsmart Bag Snatchers Turn & Lock Security Hook – The shoulder strap has a releasable security hook at one end that allows you to attach the strap to a fixture (ex. table or chair), to stop thieves from easily walking off with your bag.
• Outsmart Identity Thieves RFIDsafe Blocking Pocket – Special blocking material prevents high tech identity thieves from downloading & stealing personal information stored on micro chips in your passport & credit cards.
The front of the shoulder bag has a zipper closure compartment that is barely visible unless you are really looking for it. It is roomy enough to carry your sunglasses, small water bottle and other things that you want to have handy. To get into the main compartment of the bag you will unzip the compartment through the top of the bag. This compartment is beautifully lined in a kiwi green colored fabric with tiny polka dots. I love that light green fabric as I can easily see what is in my bag. (not a black bottomless pit, if you know what I mean).
Once inside the bag you will find 2 main comparments with the larger of the two compartments having a cell phone and eyeglass pocket to help keep you organized. Along the inside seam of the bag you will find a non-removable key fob which is great for holding car keys, house keys or hotel room keys. The handbag is super roomy and I love how light-weight it is! I am loving this bag and I think you would love it too!
Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win an Anti-Theft Sling Purse & Hip Pouch in the Sky Blue color. You an read more about this particular product on their web site and it retails for $39.99. (shown to the right).

Anti-Theft Women’s Handbag by Pacsafe – Review
Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Pacsafe who makes a wonderful line of anti-theft travel gear; handbags, purses, digi pouches, anti-theft backpacks, shoulder bags, wallets, laptop bags, day bags, etc. All of the Pacsafe travel products feature various anti-theft deterrents.
My Review: The generous folks over at Pacsafe sent me their Anti-Theft Handbag to review for all of you. (model: SlingSafe 250 GII). The handbag is available in 3 color choices: Black, Cypress and Sky Blue . It measures 15″ by 8.7″ by 4.3″ in size so it will really hold a lot of stuff! The strap is adjustable and measures 27.6″ in length up to 49.2″ in length.
This Anti-Theft Handbag Features:
• eXomesh® slashguards in lower front, side and bottom panels
• Slashproof detachable Carrysafe® shoulder strap
• Carrysafe® strap allows the bag to anchor to a secure fixture.
• Smart zipper security™
• RFID-blocking pocket
• Turn & lock strap hook™
• Smart zipper security™
• Made out of Water repellent nylon
• Printed liner
• Zippered main compartment
• Zippered internal pocket
The handbag has 5 anti-theft deterrents which I will explain in more detail.
• Outsmart Bag Slashers ExoMesh SlashGuards – Body panels of the bag have built-in stainless steel wire mesh panels which prevents contents falling out if the bag is cut by a thief.
• Outsmart Strap Slashers Slashproof CarrySafe Strap – The shoulder strap is reinforced with stainless steel wire which prevents it being easily cut so that the bag can’t be easily taken by a thief.

• Outsmart Identity Thieves RFIDsafe Blocking Pocket – Special blocking material prevents high tech identity thieves from downloading & stealing personal information stored on micro chips in your passport & credit cards.
The front of the handbag has a nice sized zipper closure compartment which is great for storing items that you don’t want to be overly secured. The bag has a main top-entry compartment and inside that large compartment you will find a small back walled zipper closure pocket, a pocket for your cell phone and a pocket that would be great for holding your passport, checkbook, wallet, etc. The rest of this compartment is where you would put your other “girl” items that you like to carry with you.
The entire bag is beautifully lined in a gray colored fabric with a tiny polka dot print. I love that lining as I can see everything in my bag, quickly and easily. The bag is very light-weight and I appreciate that because when I am traveling, the last thing I need is to drag around a heavy handbag.
I give this Anti-Theft Handbag from Pacsafe a 9 1/2 stars out of 10 stars on my rating scale. I only deducted a 1/2 star as I would LOVE to see it in additional colors in the future. You can purchase this handbag directly from Pacsafe for only $79.99 and trust me, it is worth every dime!
I would like to thank Pacsafe for participating in this product review. Your anti-theft products rock!

Mystique Boutique Motor City Handbag Product Review and Giveaway
If you have been following the Two Classy Chics for a while, you know that I am a purse-o-holic. My hubby wants me to invent some type of 12 step program to break it, but I just cannot. I love them tooooo much! I am so stoked to bring you a fabulous synthetic leather handbag from a fast growing direct sales company out of Michigan that focuses on products made in the USA! The particular handbag is called Motor City as it is born and bred in Michigan, a true US inspired purse.
Mystique Boutique is the name of the company and they are Michigan born, American Made……Women’s Accessories & Body Care. I fell in love with the entire product line when I saw their site and catalog. There is absolutely something for everyone with their gorgeous selection of trendy, fashionable women’s accessories like the purses, leather belts and stylish buckles, amazing jewelry and watches, beautiful scarves and their body care line. Oh yes! Definitely something for everyone!
Since 2006, they have remained committed to bringing back American made product & design. They started as a jewelry only company and in Oct 2011, they extended their line to include the other fabulous selections. If you are looking for a direct sales company to check out for a new business, you have to checkout this company. They are going places! Look at their offerings to you as a direct sales business consultant.
I was sent the Motor City handbag to review for you today. This is a beautiful bag that is very well made. The purse is made from a synthetic leather that feels just like genuine leather. So soft and supple! The detail on the front is awesome with the chain and rivet accent. The handles are attached by metal rings that are not going to break.
Outside there is a huge snap pocket under the chains and an additional zip pocket on the back site. Inside this bag rocks the pockets! There is a pouch for a phone or business cards and another one for other items. There is 2 pen holders and an additional zipper pocket too.
This bag is Perfect for carrying everything you need! The interior is beautifully lined in a gray satiny material and is finished very professionally. This is a quality handbag overall and I am in love with it! It is my new favorite bag and I know that you will love it too!!!!!
