As the seasons change women change out their wardrobes. For me personally, one of the first things I change out is my handbag followed by footwear and then clothing. I find it easier to do the handbag first because weather can be quite “finicky” as the season changes.
When I go shopping for a new handbag I am looking for several things.
1. It has to be functional…meaning that it needs to be large enough to carry all of my “stuff” and have some organizational features built in it.
2. I want it to last more than just a few months so I am looking for high-quality bags that will last me for years. That’s right ladies, it’s an investment!
3. Style. I don’t want my handbag to look like something my 66 year old mother carried in 1960 nor do I want it to look like something a 16 year old would carry today. I want a REAL woman’s handbag!
Let me introduce you to Fricaine who makes high quality fashionable products from globally-sourced exotic fabrics that accentuate the tastes and preferences of their customers. The brand offers a refreshing fashion experience by helping customers make bold fashion statements. The carefully selected lines of very durable handbags employ bright colors, are well-crafted and made from authentic custom fabrics and hardware. Women who carry the handbags exude an exotic and highly fashionable image that perfectly matches and complements their personal style.
The company sent me the FRICAINE PRETTY FACE SHOULDER BAG in red to review for all of you. The body of the bag is made out of cotton jacquard and is trimmed in a micro-fiber leather. I really love that because it makes the bag very light-weight. If it was all leather, it would be a “weighty” bag.
This bag is extremely roomy and I love all of the built-in organizational features. On the outside of the bag there are 2 pouch pockets (on the short ends of the bag) where you can tuck in your cellphone, water bottle, sunglasses or any other items you need quickly. On the back outside of the back is a nice roomy zippered compartment and I like to toss my keys, ID badge etc. in that.
You enter the bag via a top zipper entry and once inside you will find 3 roomy compartments. One of the compartments has 2 reach-in slip pockets for cellphones, glasses, etc. The compartment on the other side has a back-wall zipper closure pocket and in between both of these big compartments is a zipper closure center compartment which I love to toss my cosmetics in. Basically, inside you have 3 large compartments, a back-wall zipper pocket and 2 front-wall slip pockets.
There is a custom-made lining in this bag that easily allows you to see your contents (not a big black hole) and it’s easy to clean. I spilled something in my bag and it wiped clean within seconds thanks to that lining!
The bag has beautiful gold-plated hardware and on the bottom of the bag you will find 5 gold-plated feet. This will help to protect the bottom of your bag from scratches & it helps the bag stay upright when you set it down. This is a shoulder bag but the straps are short enough that you can carry it as a satchel too.
You can use this bag for the business office, during casual weekends and/or as a travel bag. It is really roomy and heck, if you are a stylish momma, you could use it as a diaper bag too! I just love it!!!
