Bag Review: Victoria Beckham QUINCY Bag

Before I indulged in my last big handbag purchase, it was down to two difficult options. The Givenchy Antigona or the Quincy by Victoria Beckham. However, even though I chose the Givenchy for now, Victoria Beckham's latest baby is still stuck in my head and its already been added to my wish list for later this year.

The Quincy is a smaller version of the Liberty bag, also a favorite (and a BEST seller) and comes in the prettiest colors. The one I tried at Bloomingdales in Dubai was a bright pink but they also come in a slick black color and a grey. Size wise, its the perfect size, not too big that it becomes a pain to carry but not too small either (width is 33 cm and height is 23 cm for the pink) so you can fit your basic daily essentials without a care in the world.The bag is structured but not too stiff and the looped tab fastening at the top means you can adjust the shape of the bag. What fun! The leather is beautiful buffalo skin with a nude calf leather trim and cotton-canvas lining. It comes with an optional shoulder strap which is adjustable. Hallelujah! In addition, I like that the hardware is minimal, it makes the bag lighter.

More than anything, being a big fan of the minimalist aesthetic and understated luxury, I love how Victoria's bags just refuse to shout out the brand's name. They're just so great looking as is. In fact, had I not been familiar with her bags and seen a random person with one of her designs, I would have no qualms in walking up to them and ask where the bag was from because they're just so beautiful and sophisticated. I own one of her two-toned leather clutches and the only place where you can see her name on the exterior is on the zip fastener and that too if you stick your face to the clutch (refer to the picture below)! Point being, the designer's bag have a way of making a statement.

Despite being a newbie in the bag industry, with Victoria Beckham, one never has to worry about quality or craftsmanship as she never compromises on either. All her bags are handmade in Italy with the finest materials and she is meticulous about the entire process. The woman designs bags that are truly luxurious, stylish and functional at the same time. The Quincy, my lovelies, is a real keeper.

Click here to purchase the pink and here for the black. Unfortunately the grey bag is only on the Victoria Beckham site and they don't ship to India. You can order it to a friend within the UK though. Click here for the grey Quincy. If you prefer to buy yours closer to home, I remember the Kitsch boutique in Defense Colony (011-46098212)  had the Liberty totes but you can always ring them to find out if the Quincy will be available and when.
