Pixie Mood is Here!

Ever since I saw this line and wrote an order in Atlanta back in January, I have been eager to get them in. We've had many lines of faux leather bags over the years, but I felt like some were getting a little tired. I was so excited to see these purses. When I first saw the booth and the lovely bags, I assumed they were expensive. I decided to take a look anyway. I couldn't believe that they were vegan... the "leather" was so soft and supple, just like the real thing. I've seen this quality before but with brands like Stella McCartney. Not only did they feel expensive, but they looked expensive. Classic clean lines and simple branding made me fall in love with them. I had my bestie along with me on this trip, and she loved them too (and ordered a few for herself).Another reason that I loved the line was their commitment to sustainability. Unlike a lot of other vegan bag companies, they use PVC-free, recycled vegan leather. The lining is all made from recycled plastic bottles. Their lining has diverted 492,275 plastic bottles from landfills to date. The packaging for the bags was corn-based and 100 percent biodegradable... so cool!These adorable Tinsley bags can be used as a mini handbag or a crossbody with the detachable strap that is included. I really love the braided handle.  I think backpacks are an essential addition to any girl's collection. I especially love to use one when traveling. The company makes a ton of different varieties, but I settled on three different styles. All three can also be converted into a shoulder bag if you prefer. The Serena backpack also has a place for a laptop, making it a perfect work companion. All three have several interior pockets and outside zipper pockets.  This Bubbly tote is to die for. It is the softest faux leather bag I've ever felt. You can also turn it into a crossbody with a detachable strap. It has so many pockets, both interior and exterior. I had to have one... and so did my friend.We are excited for spring and all of the freshness it brings! These bags certainly brightened up the store.
